No idea what is up, but my longstanding Fico score was just lowered by 20 points for no reason I am aware of. If anything, it should have been increased. No changes in spending, payments, or anything so as to trigger a lowering. I've also noticed some strange bank activity with Chase suddenly depositing $375 in one of my accounts - supposedly refunds on international transfer costs - all in the $5.00 to $20 range charged as ATM international transaction costs for withdrawals at foreign ATM's. I'm also seeing other unusual activity such as increased difficulty in transferring small amounts of money in the $2,000 range from USA accounts on both ends that are permitted $50k transfers and have a long history of much larger transfers. Something does not smell right.
I wish the OP would elaborate on the change he is seeing.
You are missing the point. Its not just Chase. It's banking in general as well as credit cards and credit reporting companies - its banking, international banking, and commercial banking across 6 bank firms I am aware of that is seeing strange activity.
Care to elaborate? No idea what you are talking about.

You're calling Chase to ask for explanations, right?

I haven't noticed.
