Tell the customer service representative that you would like to close your account
When you close a credit card account, you’re taking away one of your lines of credit. That can decrease your credit score, at least temporarily. If you decide to close your account, follow these steps:
1. Call customer service. The number is on the back of your card.
2. Tell the customer service representative that you would like to close your account.
3. Ask the representative to send you confirmation that the account has been closed. This is important in case there are any further charges made to the account.
4. Request a final statement showing any balance owed on the account as well as any interest that has accrued. Make sure you pay off any balance owed before you close the account to avoid paying interest charges.
5. Destroy your credit card once you have received confirmation that the account has been closed and you have paid off any outstanding balance.
Provide the customer service representative with your account information
When you’re ready to close your Bank of America credit card, you’ll need to contact customer service. The number to call is 1-800-732-9194. You will be asked to provide your account information, so have it handy when you call.
Once the representative has located your account, they will ask you why you’re closing the card. Be prepared to give a brief explanation. The representative may try to talk you out of closing the card or offer other options, such as reducing your credit limit or changing your interest rate. You can politely decline these offers and reiterate that you would like to close the account.
The representative will then ask if you have any outstanding balance on the card. If so, they will arrange for a payment plan or transfer of the balance to another account. Once the balance is paid off, they will close the account and send you a confirmation letter in the mail.
Considerations
When you cancel your Bank of America credit card, you’ll need to consider a few things first. For example, you’ll need to make sure that you don’t have any outstanding balance on the card that you need to pay off. You should also cancel any automatic payments or subscriptions that you have set up with the card. Keep in mind that cancelling your credit card can impact your credit score, so you’ll want to weigh all of your options before making a decision.
Check for any outstanding balances on your account
Before you cancel your Bank of America credit card, make sure you don’t have any outstanding balances on your account. You’ll want to pay off any debts you have before cancelling, otherwise you’ll be stuck with paying interest on the remaining balance. If you’re sure you don’t have any outstanding debts, then proceed with cancelling your credit card.
Ask the customer service representative about any fees associated with cancelling or closing your account
Be sure to ask the customer service representative about any fees associated with cancelling or closing your account. You may be charged an annual fee, a processing fee, or a cancellation fee. You will also lose any rewards points you have accumulated. If you have a balance remaining on your card, you will be responsible for paying that off in full.
Make sure to cancel any automatic payments or subscriptions that are linked to your account
Before you cancel your credit card, you’ll want to make sure that you don’t have any outstanding balances or pending transactions. You should also take a moment to review your account for any automatic payments or subscriptions that are linked to your credit card. If you have any of these, you’ll want to make arrangements to cancel or change them so that you don’t end up being charged after you’ve cancelled your card.
