<p>親愛的昆廷，</p>
<p>由於我不再像以前那樣頻繁使用我的萬豪信用卡，因為我不再經常旅行，摩根大通降低了我的信用額度。我直到事情發生後才發現。我仍然有足夠的額度滿足我的需求，我明白如果對我的信用有任何影響，那應該是小而暫時的。</p>
<p>但我在想，這是否會引發連鎖反應，導致其他銀行也對我使用較少的信用卡採取同樣的措施。這是我第一次信用額度被降低。</p>

<p>您的信用評分可能會在一兩個月內稍微受到影響。</p>
<p>親愛的信用卡用户，</p>
<p>不要把這件事放在心上。</p>
<p>您使用信用卡的頻率降低並不一定是壞事。是的，每個行動往往都會帶來某種後果，正如您所發現的那樣。並不是所有銀行都會提前通知客户他們的信用額度被削減，除非這會導致透支費用或其他與信用卡相關的費用。</p>
<p>這提醒我們，信用並不是免費的。它對雙方都有風險，信用卡公司使用算法來管理這些風險。如果您不再像過去那樣頻繁使用某張卡，這可能表明您不需要那麼高的信用額度，或者就像您的萬豪卡一樣，您不再那麼頻繁地旅行，無論是出差還是休閒。</p>
<p>信用額度對雙方都有風險。</p>
<p>您的信用評分可能會在一兩個月內稍微受到影響。但除非您打算申請抵押貸款或汽車貸款，否則這對您的生活不會有太大影響。雖然很難不覺得降低的信用額度或暫時的信用評分下降是對您的反映，但實際上並不是。這只是您消費習慣的反映。</p>
<p>摩根大通不對個案發表評論，但在您這樣的情況下，銀行的標準程序是提前通知客户，並在信用額度減少後再次通知（所以也許您錯過了電子郵件/信件）。在第一次通知中，您通常會被給予聯繫的選項，如果您希望考慮保留您的信用額度。</p>
<p>連鎖反應不太可能發生</p>
<p>關於潛在的連鎖反應：這不太可能在其他銀行引發警報。這並不是 “傳染性” 的。其他髮卡機構只能訪問您的總可用信用、信用卡餘額和整體債務與額度比率，這些信息會傳遞給信用局。其他貸款人沒有理由採取行動。</p>
<p>您也處於黑色/紅色債務線的正確一側：信用卡債務最近超過了 1.2 萬億美元，平均每個持卡人的債務約為 6000 美元，國家平均利用率略低於 30%。您的情況可能比因使用減少而降低信用額度要糟糕得多。</p>
<p>有些人喜歡將盡可能多的開支放在信用卡上，以最大化獎勵，同時每月償還債務。其他人則認為這種策略風險較大，以防失業或其他意外事件。最近有一位女士寫信給《理財顧問》，説她有 25 張信用卡，想開始取消其中的一些。</p>
<p>不利行動通知</p>
<p>理想情況下，您希望將信用卡使用率與信用額度的比率保持在 25% 到 30% 之間。信用局——Equifax EFX、Transunion TRU 和 Experian EXPN——以不同的方式計算他們的評分。FICO 評分計算支付歷史（35%）、欠款金額（30%）、信用歷史長度（15%）、新信用（10%）和信用組合（10%）。</p>
<p>消費者金融保護局表示：“在您收到降低信用額度的通知後，髮卡機構在 45 天內不能對您收取超限費用或罰款利率。如果髮卡機構沒有通知您降低信用額度，則不能對您收取超限費用。”</p>
<p>其他貸款人沒有理由採取行動。</p>
<p>“在大多數情況下，髮卡機構必須在對您的賬户進行某些不利更改時，例如降低您的信用額度或終止您的賬户時，向您發出 ‘不利行動通知’，” 消費者金融保護局補充道。“該通知應提供採取行動的具體原因，或允許您請求具體原因的説明。”</p>
<p>如果您希望避免未來因 inactivity 而導致的信用額度削減，您可以在不常用的卡上設置小額定期費用，並每月償還。更好的是，如果您有太多卡，您可以取消一些，專注於您的核心卡。否則，接受降低的信用額度。您仍然是降低額度前的那個人。</p>
<p>不要錯過：‘這是我的錢’：我的 80 萬美元遺產正在支付 160 萬美元的房子。我難道不應該決定我和我丈夫住在哪裏嗎？</p>

摩根大通

<p>摩根大通因客户對萬豪卡的使用減少而降低了客户的信用額度，這可能會暫時對其信用評分產生輕微影響。客户擔心其他銀行可能會對使用頻率較低的卡片降低額度而產生連鎖反應。然而，專家表示，這種行為不太可能引起其他銀行的警覺，因為它們只關注整體信用利用率。保持 25-30% 的信用利用率對信用評分是理想的，髮卡機構在降低信用額度後必須在收取超限費用之前通知客户</p>

</div><p>Dear Quentin,</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>親愛的昆廷，</p>
</div><p>Chase lowered the credit limit on my Marriott card because I'm not using that credit card as much as I did in the past, since I don't travel as much anymore. I didn't find out until after it was done. I still have an adequate limit for my needs, and I understand that if there is any impact on my credit, it should be small and temporary.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>親愛的信用卡用户，</p>
</div><p>Don't take it personally.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>不要把這件事放在心上。</p>
</div><p>It's not necessarily a bad thing that you're using your credit card less often. And, yes, every action tends to have some kind of consequence, as you found out. Not all banks tell a customer in advance that their credit limit is being cut unless it leads to an overdraft fee or some other fees associated with the credit card.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>您使用信用卡的頻率降低並不一定是壞事。是的，每個行動往往都會帶來某種後果，正如您所發現的那樣。並不是所有銀行都會提前通知客户他們的信用額度被削減，除非這會導致透支費用或其他與信用卡相關的費用。</p>
</div><p>It's a reminder that credit is not free. It comes with risks for both parties, and credit-card companies use algorithms to manage that risk. If you're not using a card as much as you did in the past, it may suggest either that you don't require as high a credit limit or, as in the case of your Marriott card, that you aren't traveling as frequently, whether for work or leisure.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>這提醒我們，信用並不是免費的。它對雙方都有風險，信用卡公司使用算法來管理這些風險。如果您不再像過去那樣頻繁使用某張卡，這可能表明您不需要那麼高的信用額度，或者就像您的萬豪卡一樣，您不再那麼頻繁地旅行，無論是出差還是休閒。</p>
</div><p>A line of credit comes with risks for both parties.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>信用額度對雙方都有風險。</p>
</div><p>Your credit score might get dinged slightly for a month or two. But unless you're planning to take out a mortgage or an automobile loan, it's not going to make much difference to your life. It may be hard not to feel like a lower credit limit or a temporary ding to your score is a reflection on you, but it's really not. It's only a reflection of your spending habits.</p>

</div><p>Chase does not comment on individual cases, but in cases such as yours it is the bank's standard procedure to alert the customer in advance and again after a line of credit is reduced (so perhaps you missed the email/letter). In the first notification, you would typically be given the option to reach out if you wish to consider keeping your line of credit.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>連鎖反應不太可能發生</p>
</div><p>As to the potential ripple effects: It's unlikely that this will trigger alerts at other banks. It's not &#34;contagious&#34; in that way. Other issuers only have access to your total available credit, credit-card balances and overall debt-to-limit ratio, which is passed along to the credit bureaus. There's no reason for other lenders to leap into action.</p>

</div><p>You're also on the right side of the black/red debt line: Credit-card debt recently exceeded $1.2 trillion, and the average individual cardholder's debt hovers around $6,000, with a national average utilization rate of just under 30%.

</div><p>Adverse-action notice</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>不利行動通知</p>
</div><p>Ideally, you want to keep your ratio of credit-card usage to credit limit at between 25% and 30%. Credit bureaus - Equifax EFX, Transunion TRU and Experian EXPN - calculate their scores differently. A FICO score counts payment history (35%), amounts owed (30%), length of credit history (15%), new credit (10%) and credit mix (10%).</p>

</div><p>The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says: &#34;The card issuer cannot charge you over-the-limit fees or a penalty rate for exceeding your new, lower credit limit until 45 days after it has given you notice of the decreased credit limit. A card issuer cannot charge you over-the-limit fees if it didn't give you notice of the decreased credit limit.</p>

</div><p>There's no reason for other lenders to leap into action.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>其他貸款人沒有理由採取行動。</p>
</div><p>&#34;In most instances, the card issuer must give you an 'adverse action notice' when it makes certain unfavorable changes to your account, such as lowering your credit limit, or when it terminates your account,&#34; the CFPB adds. &#34;This notice should either provide specific reasons for the action taken or allow you to request a statement of specific reasons.&#34;</p>

</div><p>If you would like to avoid future inactivity-related cuts to your credit limit, you could put a small recurring charge on cards you rarely use and pay them off each month. Better yet, if you have too many cards, you could cancel a few and focus on your core cards. Otherwise, accept the lower credit limit. You're still the same person you were the day before it was lowered.</p>

摩根大通因為我使用量減少而降低了我的信用卡額度。這會影響我的信用評分，並導致其他銀行也採取類似行動嗎？
