Washington Mutual, Formerly Providian
Washington Mutual / Providian Unfair Interest Rate Hike

In August I was notified that WaMu was making changes to my account. I called customer service to see what these changes were. I was informed that my interest rate would increase to 29%. I asked the customer service rep to review my account to see if there were any late payments or over limit history.in 6 years of having this account, I have never been late or over limit. They would not inform me as to why this decision was made but told me it was based on my TransUnion credit report-which I checked and it was good. Please note that my credit rating has consitantly been above 650 and is currently 702! In my credit report, there is not one single account that has ever been late in payment. I opted to refuse to accept the proposed terms, to close my account and request and explaination as to why this decision was made. I also sent for a free credit report to which I am making corrections. I am appalled that the government would allow these companies to have the ability to do this. When I applied for credit with Providian 6 years ago, I agreed to an interest rate and kept my end of the agreement-to make payments on time and to stay within my limit. I truly believe that WaMu has become a company of ill repute.
