Hopefully the financial boffins can help and advise.

I got a credit card to build up my credit limit a year or so ago because I didn’t have any credit cards for years my credit score needed to improve.

I got a credit card with aqua for which I only use to travel to work via train/ tube roughy £200 a month which is paid off in full each month.

The limit started at £700 the they increased to £2200 then increased again to £4400.

I’ve only ever spent no more than £200 a month and always paid off in full each month and now they have decreased the limit to £1500.

“We have decreased the limit on your aqua card to £1500.00 as we feel it is more suitable for your level of use. A letter will follow shortly.”

That part doesn’t bother me but I had a quick google and some articles mention that this can affect your credit rating.

If anyone can help / advise it would be appreciated.

Cheers

Thank you for the replies. Will this have a effect on my credit rating ? As mentioned above I can just apply for a different card with a alternative Leander
