A useful next step
Compare the fee with actual value, ask about a no-fee product change, and consider your total utilization before making a decision.
Keep the decision grounded
Check the actual account terms and a dated credit report when the issue involves reporting. No tool can guarantee a score, approval, or deletion of accurate information. Keep copies of any agreement or correction.
