Customer Service and Credit Limit

I have been a customer with Commerce for over 10 years. I'€™ve always paid on time and been a super loyal customer. In 2019 I was sent to the ER and missed my payment date due to being hospitalized. I called claiming the incident and my late payment fee was waived. At the beginning of this year, 2021, my app wasn'€™t working when I signed in to make my credit card payment. I tried calling and waited for over an hour and had to hang up because of work. I continued to call due to the app being down but my payment was late at this point. A few weeks later I got a letter in the mail stating my credit limit was dropping (more than half of what my limit was) due to my credit score and late payment, which was above 700! I talked to a manager who told me there was nothing I could do, which left me super disappointed in this company. I will be closing out my account soon and wish to no longer have any accounts with Commerce Bank, which is unfortunate. I'€™ve had this account since college and never had issues. One late payment seems unfair to drop a credit limit, and this caused my credit score to drop over 50pts.

I just wish i never had a credit card. Ever.

That's all. Nothing against this card. I just should have never opened credit card accounts. Ever. I will probably never get out from underneath them so if you're reading this, contemplating this credit card, just walk away. Don't get this card or any other credit card. Ever.
