    FCNB is not accepting any new bankcard applications. Also they are not considering any credit limit increases on existing accounts.

    I have a feeling they are going down the tubes. Can't get them to increase my mastercard limit. I'm just wondering if I should buy a bunch of clothes on my eddie bauer why it still have over $1000 available. They reduced the cash advance limit to 50% on my mc.

    They are very good in my opinion right now. Lots of red flags are going up.

    Why would you want to plunge yourself into more debt just because the cc company may be in trouble?

    I heard they are trying to sale but I didn't know all of this.

    I have a secured card w/them. It will be one year in Aug. Should I try to get my money back b/f then. Or wait until Aug?

    What happens if they go under... do I get my money back?

    This kinda stinks. They gave me a $200 cl increase recently (just this month), but I guess that'll be the end of that ride pretty soon.

    Whatever happens, I just hope everything goes smoothly with respect to account aging & other reporting issues, since this is my oldest tradeline.

    Time to dispute?

    hmmmm I wonder if they do go down would that be the time for people to file some disputes? Or even NextCard or Net 1st Mastercard...if you had a 90 day late or charge off or something, who would verify the informations for the CRA after these companies go under?

    I just got my bill last night and they are encouraging me to apply for a secured Visa.

    I just opened an account with them. Got the card last week. Everyone was talking about how good they were so naturally I ran right out to see what the fuss was about. I hope they don't go under!

    I called today and the rep said that credit line increases had been frozen because the bank was in the process of being bought out.

    I can verify the cash advance limit, too. I called again and found out the cash advance limit was now half my credit line. What's next? No PayPal or Yahoo Pay Direct purchases?
