Watch Where You Shophoneymoon American Express said Johnson history with American Express . So after studies that credit card industry banks like Amex now minding this month American Express took more give it to Amex . His credit card company
just 29 years old Kevin Johnson is the type of customer most credit card companies would want to thank goodness is Kevin Johnson & Johnson is the CEO of -- -- -- downtown Atlanta owns his own home and has what most experts consider a stellar credit score. A 764. My dad worked in the credit industry. And so talking about finances was it was a common thing in our household. Johnson says his father taught him to manage credit wisely so two years ago He jumped at the chance to get an American Express blue credit card . They have a wonderful rewards program. Where I can. Get a lot for my money. He says He never paid late never went over his limit and rarely carried much of a balance but in October while He was on his honeymoon American Express said Johnson this letter. Drastically reducing his credit line by 7000. Dollars. One reason given. It says other customers. Who have used their card at establishments where you recently shopped have a poor repayment history with American Express . So after I read that. That's what that's what really made me upset professor Robert Manning studies that credit card industry essentially banks have gone -- saying. We don't like the behavior of other people that are shopping in stores that you are currently conducting business. Therefore that raises questions about your ability to repay the loan. It's a process called behavioral analysis banks like Amex -- now minding your purchases with your hard to justify reducing credit in a down economy. How much of this is goingin an Atlanta neighborhood where He never previously used his car. But Amex refused to tell him if it was that trip or any other which raised a red flag where this gets suspect is that. Not only are they doing this. But they are doing it and not telling you right well that's the key here because I mean. What are the rules of the game that's all consumers really want and now in in midstream Amex change the rules of the game and didn't even informed that person. Johnson says He tried for more than a month to get his credit limit restored pointing out repeatedly that He has three corporate accounts with the Amex all in good standing. And when He finally did reach someone's -- so we don't find anything out of the ordinary here. Good Morning America wanted to talk to American Express about behavioral analysis but the company refused. Issuing this statement instead. Our intent is to strike the right balance between accommodating our card members spending needs and at the same time prudently managing credit risk. While we may use additional data points. The driving factor for any credit limit reduction is the customers debt level. But Robert Manning says if anyone was prudently managing risk it was Johnson. Not and it's just this month American Express took more than three billion dollars in tax money as part of the government's rescue program summing -- history. Johnson taxpayer. His money goes to the TARP they give it to Amex . His credit card company. And now it's like to -- it -- punish Johnson is is that's really what's. On here what they're trying toothers like him and took the issue to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. American Express they took money from TARP are you going to enforce how banks get to use this money credit card companies could be the next wave could be the next. -- the out of curtain has probably been pulled back.
