I'll be filing soon, so I haven't used this card in a while, but I have a GM Card through HSBC. They just lowered my credit limit significantly for 3 reasons:
1) low payment in relation to balance
2) Other delinquent accounts
3) Public records
Now, the first 2 reasons I was aware of, and was expecting this action based on that. However, I am a little confused on the public records bit. I pulled my Equifax report this morning (which supposedly the decision was based on), and it doesn't list ANY public records on me. I've looked into other databases, and can't find anything other than the routine stuff like name, address, phone, and stuff like that. I know I had pulled all 3 credit reports in May, and didn't have anything in public records then. Any ideas where these guys could be getting the 'public records' bit? I'm primarily concerned about a judgment that I'm not aware of. I had just checked with the local courts last week - and there was nothing there as far as any suits as of yet. I'm a little puzzled by this. If I've got any judgments, I need to get the information to my lawyer.
