For probably the first time in my life, I could scrape together $2k right now. I would not have to use credit or sell anything or pay a bill late to do so.
I've spent the last decade (since a nasty divorce and subsequently losing my job) getting square again, financially. I work two jobs, make decent money, RENT a nice house and have no credit card debt. My only debt obligation is 1 car payment. It will be paid off in 2 years and I do not plan to ever finance a vehicle again. My goal over the next 5 years is to re-establish my credit with carefully controlled credit card spending and save $25k for a down payment on a condo which I intend to finance for 15yrs. At the same time, I will be heavily saving and investing. Once the condo is paid off, I plan to retire. But for 40 years, I was paycheck to paycheck and always teetering on the edge of financial ruin. Ok sometimes I was deep in the pit of ruin, but I survived somehow. Now I have to find a way to enjoy my retirement years. Part of doing so involves getting healthy, because who the hell can afford major medical costs or wants to spend their retirement as an invalid? So I quit smoking, am losing weight, began eating organic and non-processed, and recently started running and lifting weights. I don't think I've ever been healthier. Stormie |

I too was unaware of this until about 2 years ago when a card I kept just for emergencies was canceled without notice. :mad: Quote:

It is primarily Capitol One and a few small bank insurers that have a cancellation cause with no recourse. So I would suggest that your statement is spreading misleading information to some degree. |
My card was a Chase card and was canceled.
Again, I am speaking from personal experience. There is nothing misleading about facts, whether you like them or not. |

My info is from my sis, who works at a pretty high level in the consumer/community affairs dept of one of the big three. |
This'll be good.
:corn: It's like someone telling me how financial aid works and what the regs are because something happened one time to them or to their friend's dog and that is how it works because that is how it works. GO J! :) disclaimer: I ain't on any side...I have no clue about any of it. ;) |
I predict that the answer will be somewhere in the middle: they can do it, but don't always do it.

sez Carnac the Magnificent. ;)

Well, in my experience, I have cards I don't use, and I don't pay squat for them. So right there, the "FALSE" claim is wrong. I haven't been contacted by anyone that they are going to cancel my cards.
I don't carry a balance on the card I do use. I imagine the card companies don't like me much, but they do make a little bit off of each transaction through merchant fees. Certainly enough to cover postage on the bill. |
We had a few dormant cards close in the last 2 years, but prior to that never. I assumed it had to do with the financial chaos. Other than that, for us...
