I had a secured credit card with XXXX XXXX with a credit line of {$200.00}, that was secured by a savings account. After a few years, I was issued an unsecured XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card with a {$500.00} credit line. Since I received the unsecured card, I did n't think it was necessary to still have the secured account, so I requested that the account be closed by XXXX XXXX. Soon after I requested the account to be closed, my credit score dropped dramatically, which is negatively impacting me with trying to obtain a mortgage loan. Why would a consumer who is wanting to eliminate unnecessary debt be penalized. The account was always paid on time, the account was paid off in full and yet the credit bureaus pinged my credit. Does n't seem fair at all. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
