Juniper Bank Informative - Credit Card scam

Review by Leebo on 2007-08-12
WILIMINGTON, DELAWARE -- I received a credit card from juniper with a limit of $3000.00.They included a blank check for me to use either for purchases,cash advances or balance transfers. With out any notification they reduced my limit to $350.00. Their reason was repeated cash advance attempts. The only cash advances were (2) for twenty dollars each. The check was used for a cash advance to purchase tires for my work vehicle. The local discount tire company (Sams Club) only takes debit cards. So now I have to reimburse my bank $400.00 for the check a $15.00 return fee and a $29.00 Fee from Juniper. All because they violated their credit card agreement.I could not find anywhere it in the agreement that allows them to Change my credit limit with my being in default . I am canceling my card immediately.

What a rip off this has been. And to top it off no one will return my calls.

I just got done the same way by this card. They gave me a $2000 limit and then dropped it to $250 stating I had too many cash advances. I had just got the card and made 1 $100 advance and 1 for $20. I thought that is what these cards were for? They're scamming people giving them these high limits and then tearing them down to a couple hundred bucks. So I know exactly what you mean. It stunned me when I read your post after this just happened to me 3 days ago. Take care of yourself and don't let it get you down. They won't be in business long that way!! ~countrygirl26
