Yes, there is no law that forces a creditor to give credit if he decides not to give it.
Some creditors will do this if you do not use your card for a while, even if you've never been late on a payment. (This happened with my spouse's American Express Card, which we tend to use only for Summer travel and Christmas gifts.)

How do you find out who the original creditor is after your account has been sold to a collection agency and 30 days have passed since they first contacted you?
Either you can ask what collection agency the company you originally owed deals with or you will have to obtain your own credit report. * If the debtor did not respond to the 30 day clarification notice, the collection agency has no legal obligation to inform the debtor of the creditor, amount owed, etc. unless litigation is initiated. The debtor's credit report may or may not indicate which account has been sent to collections, as credit bureaus are very lax in keeping timely data on consumer's.

Can you take a collection agency to small claims court for not removing a paid collection account?
You can take a creditor or a listed party on a credit report to court for not removing notice on your report if, that account is paid off, seven (or ten in the event of a judgment) years has elapsed from the date of last payment, and thirty days have passed since you requested the account be pulled in writing, by registered mail. All three of these must occur before you should take any creditor or reporting agency to court. Small claims would be a waste of time considering the sizable payouts that can be recovered for unfair and fraudulent reportings.
What is the difference between pre-charge off and post-charge off accounts?

No. A Credit cannot take money from your savings account without giving you prior notice. But, if you have an electronic funds transfer arrangement (for loan repayment) or if you have given him your bank account check (Signed) then he will be able to take money from your account. In these 2 cases, he need not give you a notice because it is understood or rather assumed that you know that he is going to do it and since you have signed and approved the same another intimation is not required.

Can a creditor levy your bank account in Texas and how do they find your bank account?
Yes your bank account can be levied for a credit card debt in texas. They CANNOT garnish your wages but they can levy your bank account if they sue you and get a default judgement. I found this out the hard way. My husband had stopped paying on a credit card in 2006 and we received a notice 12/2009 that they were suing him but was not aware of what they could really do besides put it on his credit. They froze every account with his name and social attached to it.

How soon after you are denied credit must you receive notice both verbally and by letter?
If you are denied credit, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act requires that the creditor give you a notice that tells you the specific reason your application was rejected or the fact that you have the right to learn the reason if you ask within 60 days. If your credit application was due to information obtained from your credit report, the Fair Cedit Reporting Act requires the creditor to give you the name, address and phone number of the credit reporting agency that supplied the information. The credit reporting agency can tell you what is in your report but only the creditor can tell you why your applicaton was denied.
