Capital One
Paid off credit card in full, had a 10000.00 credit limit. Capital one them lowered my line to $500.00. This hurts my credit rating. I had a high balance due to medical bills, over 9000.00 and paid it

I had a high balance on my Capital One Credit Card of over 9500.00. My credit limit was $11000.00.

I had the money to pay it off in full, and deceided to do so. After paying off balance, I felt good about it until Capital One called to tell me that I had a past due balance. I called to see what the problem was

And they informed my that I was charged finance charges after I paid off the balance and they also added a late fee. I got them to remove the late fee and I paid the finance charge. Then they had the nerve to call me at my work place after a few days of having a "0" balance and inform me that they are

Reducing my credit limit from $11000.00 to $500.00!!! Why would they do this? This has to hurt my credit score. I thought I would be improving my score by paying off my balance. Should I just close the account alltogether, and how do I fight what they are doing to my credit score.
