credit limit decrease due to emergency cash advance

Write a Letter to this Company  |  Rate this Company


I had an emergency situation in January of this year which caused me to have to use a cash advance fropm an ATM on my Air Tran card. I just received a letter from Juniper/Barclay bank that stated that my credit limit had been DECREASED from $2000 to $1100 because of this cash advance. I have NEVER taken a cash advance on any credit card with the exception of this particular time. I had a mobile home moved for my sister and when the movers were done, they would not take her check or my credit card. I was in an extreme circumstance and it is not my normal habit to take cash advances on my credit card.

I would like my credit card limit raised back to $2000 in view that this was an extreme circumstance and not a normal habit.

I do not have Juniper Bank but I pulled out my credit card statement
from a well know credit issuer, my statement looks like this


Total Credit Line xxxxxxx

Available Credit xxxxxxx


Cash Acess Line xxxxxxx


Available for cash xxxxxxx



your cash advances come off of your total available credit line so
your limit is going to be lowered by the amount of the cash advance.
Also cash advances have higher interest rates. There is also usually
no grace period on Cash Advances so the interest starts to accrue
immediately.


I suggest that you read your card holder agreement and try to
understand how your credit card works, it is really not a good idea to
use credit if you don't understand how it works. Basically a cash
advance is a loan that is deducted from your total credit line and
accrues high and immediate interest.

Here's what takes place when you get a cash advance:

1. Your credit line is reduced by the amount of the cash advance.

2. You're likely to pay a fee for the cash advance depending on the
method you used to get it

3. The interest rate for your cash advance is likely higher than that
of your regular credit line

4. Your payments will be applied to your regular credit line before
your cash advance.

It's VERY unlikely they will increase your credit line or change any
of the terms of the cash advance. If they do, let us know...we'll be
happy to publicize a successful resolution to your problem.

I'm reading this a little differently by S. Brown Fri March 2, 2007 @ 8:02 PM
