Kind of like they did with my VS card! It had a $500 limit, and they just bumped it up to $700!
Now THAT is dangerous!

I never asked for one of those increases they just liked seeing me in debt and getting masses of interest from me every month.
You can always call up your credit card company and request a lock on the $500. Then it looks better on your credit report as you're only alloted $500 of possible debt instead of $1000.Originally Posted by DRIVEN
When I applied, I only did it for $500 and they THEY doubled it because they knew I could make money off of me.
That's a good idea. Can they reduce it back to $500 and lock it now that it's been doubled?Originally Posted by lunasmom

Yup! even though Credit Card companies always seem to be "out for your money" if you can't pay it, then they would rather work with you then not ever be able to collect on anything.Originally Posted by DRIVEN

One thing my BF and I did was to consolidate as much as we could on the card with the lowest interest rate, and concentrate on paying the other one off as fast as possible. Once that's paid off combine the 2 payments for the last card!Originally Posted by DRIVEN
Great advice everybody, thanks!
We do have our 2 major credit cards and they are both getting locked up. All of the other cards are either locked up or destroyed, we are just trying to pay off the debt now.We make the monthly payments but with their interest rate we aren't getting real far so I just want to pay everything off ASAP and then close the accounts.
That's what I'm going to do this weekend with everything. Should be fun.Originally Posted by Amandaofcols
