Post subject: cc cancelation problems


I want to cancel a fee charging cc, but I was told canceling has a negative affect on cc score. This cc charges the fee regardless of use. Help

The general advice is not to close an account UNLESS it charges a fee...you might want to look to see if the card can be changed into another card that the issuer doesnt charge a fee on...or see if the the fee can be waived...probably will offer anyway when ask to have it closed...

Is this one of those cards with a $250 credit limit but when all the FEES are added you can spend $14

CLOSE IT

Get a card from a bank that you put money in a savings account

(SECURED CARD)

Both of the posted suggestions are in the works Yet, Capital One, now merged with Hibernia, has stopped their fee waiver policy. :!:

THIS IS NOT A FEE WAIVER

THIS IS "UN-WIND THE DEAL"

As in a car dealer sometimes has to do

Or you take back a sweater to a store with your receipt
(YOU OWE NOTHING MORE THAN YOU DID BEFORE YOU BOUGHT THE SWEATER)
