The notation that it is closed by the credit granter will not drop your scores, but it could be considered as a negative by a credit underwriter.

In general as far as it being closed, it could have be a negative since you would be losing the credit limit that was being reported. Which could drive up your overall utilization.

If you do not want the account, you might call and request that they show it on your reports as being closed by you.

If you want the account, contact them and request that it be re-opened.

They may or may not change the reporting status or re-open it, but either way, it would be worth it to try.

If you re-open it, use it at least once every 4 to 6 months for a small purchase and pay in full when you get the statement so you would not be paying interest.

You may take a slight hit as closing the account dropped your overall available credit. But your score will rebound quickly.

If you had this card for a long time and had a good history, that history will be lost and that could hurt you more.

It depends what agency it is that's reporting your credit, all 3 of them have different rules.

I wouldn't think it would be a negative as far as your score... but I'd be very careful about opening new lines of credit and having them closed for any reason...

Wow- that's messed up.

Yes- it will affect your credit in a couple ways- since you have less of a credit limit your debt to credit ratio will go up (which is bad). Also, if the card issuer states 'card closed at bank's request' instead of customer's request, that could look bad to lenders.

Your credit score will be best when it shows a variety of sources of credit, i.e., car payment, mortgage payment, credit card payment, etc.

However canceling should not harm you, however, there is a such thing as having too 'little' credit. These are generally folks who pay nearly all their bills in cash, thus, no score to report.

You can actually lower your score by not using cards. I am not sure if it will lower becuase of a card cancelation, but I know if you have a bunch of cards and don't use them, then they will lower your score very slightly. It happened to me. I have no idea why they lower it, you are being responsible by not buying on credit, but I would assume it is to get you to spend money on the card or cards. Lame huh?

Since you have had the card for a short period, it should not affect your credit score.
