I am thinking of filing a class action suit against American Express. Here is the deal. I need to hear from people who have the same problem.
I applied for and have in my possession a Rewards Plus Gold Card and Business Platinum Card
Member since 1977
Accepted card and agreed to paying annual membership fee for access toOPEN ENDEDcharging capabilities. (limits over 10,000.)
*2005 husband passed away and on a financial downslide ever since because of the economy and loss of job.
InFeb of 2010notified by American Express, on my statement that I now had acredit limit of $3000.on both cards stating that it was because my FICO score that had gone from 780 to 680. and that I owed too much. DUH!!! And the negatives due to my delinquent mortgage payments.My record with them, since 1977 has been exemplary, by the way!
Please see if you can help me, by telling your story, as I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE - this can't possibly be legal!!! I have called them several times and asked to speak to a supervisor who basically said for me to get another card. I am not willing to forfeit a card I have had since 1977 with exemplary credit, because of these greedy SOB's.
Mind you, if I stopped using the cards and kept them for "reference" they would still bill me the amounts for usage. Think about it, I have had this card since 1977!This has to stop!! The banks continue to screw us and everyone feels or thinks they can't do anything about it. I DO - I want to file a class action suit against American Express for stealing, fraud and racketeering!

"I have had these cards since 1977 and my credit has been exemplary!!!"
Note the past tense. Your credit is no longer exemplary, therefore you should not expect them to treat you as though it still were.
Last year's credit score and $4 will buy you a cup of coffee at Starbuck's.
"How can they justify a card fee, just a fee forusage and having it in my possession,of $395. on a $3000. credit limit!!! "
You don't have to pay it. You can simply drop the card. The annual fee is where they make their money. The $3000 limit you explained yourself.
Amex primarily focuses on affluent customers with high credit ratings. Although you may have been with them since 1977, you no longer fit their profile.
