Hi all,
Just new to the site , must say it looks seriously impressive the amount of info on display. On a quick trawl I couldnt see an answer to my question so apologies if it has been answered before I am just too blind to see. What I am wondering is , as this has just happened to me today is , can banks/cc companies up your limit even if you have told them you dont want that to be the case. In our situation, my wife and I had a little communication error. I had thought she had cleared the amount due to a certain amount below the limit and subsequently I added said amount to the amount. Turns out, what actually happened was the company raised the limit by a couple of thousand without us knowing and communicating that to each other. Now that its past the limit they are getting narky on the phone about it. We are in the position that we can bring it well below the limit straight away, which is fortunate, but and I accept this completely is our, well my own fault, I just dont understand the grounds on which they upped the limit despite my wife having told them as of last week not to
Any advice would be great, thank you
Mike
