From ABC NEWS... American Express, Bank of America, Citibank and Discover are among the major issuers who are lowering credit lines. "Good Morning America" technology contributor Becky Worley stopped by the show today to explain what this could mean for the consumer. Who's at Risk "The first people in the line of fire will be those who have high balances, people who have low credit scores and are not paying off their bills on time," Worley said. But the pain is spreading to those with average or even good credit scores. "Even those who are paying off in full, they are in the line of fire as well," she said. "The banks don't just look at the one card that you have, they look at your entire credit history. Having problems elsewhere? They know it. That could hurt you as well."

GEMB has done this across the board with all its credit cards and ALL CUSTOMERS -just another of many ways GEMB abuses its good customers. Forget the BBB - GEMB has a A rating with BBB inspite of thousands of complaints and they will not do anything to help you in this situation. They pay BBB dues - and that is more important to the BBB - then making sure customers are treated fairly. You have to file complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and Office of Thrift Supervision.
