The Forgotten Store Card: The Silent Time Bomb


Listen Later

That store card you opened years ago for a one-time discount — the one sitting in a drawer you haven't opened since — could be quietly destroying your credit right now. Harry Jacobs explains the two ways a forgotten store card becomes a credit catastrophe: the annual fee ambush that turns into a collection account, and the inactivity closure that spikes your utilization overnight. Including the client whose score dropped 110 points from an eight-year-old $40 annual fee she'd completely forgotten about, nearly derailing her mortgage. Plus: the annual credit audit habit that prevents all of it, and what to do with every card you find — fee or no fee.
