account with erroneous over-the-limit charges that are quite unfair,and I am very upset about it.,Ineffective Persuasive Request Letter,Ch.7-9,How can we be charged with over-the-limit charges when nearly every one of the charges was approved?We dont keep a running record of our Visa account and all our credit purchases on it,so we did not know that we were close to the limit.Between August 7 and September 27 we made 12 purchases.We were charged a$10 fee for each of these 12 transactions because we exceeded our credit limit.However,10 of these transactions were phoned in for approval,and ALL WERE APPROVED!Why were they approved if we were over our credit limit?Obviously,we would not have continued to make purchases if we had known we were over our limit.,Ineffective Persuasive Request Letter,Ch.7-10,It seems to me that your approval system is at fault here.And why arent new cardholders informed of your rules?The charges we made exceeding the limit were clearly unintentional.Furthermore,our actions were made on the basis of misinformation and errors on the part of your credit processors.Angrily yours,Ineffective Persuasive Request

Mr.Watson:SUBJECT:“Over-the-Limit”Credit Card ChargesBecause of the wide acceptance of the Visa credit card and because of your banks attractive interest rate,my wife and I were eager to become cardholders two years ago.Recently,however,we experienced a charge to our account that we would like to discuss with you.Between the period of August 7 and September 27,we made 12,Improved Persuasive Request Letter,Ch.7-14,small purchases.Ten of these purchases were given telephone approval.When we received our last statement,a copy of which is enclosed,we were surprised to see that we were charged$10 each for these purchases because our account was over our limit.The total charge was$120.Of course,we should have been more aware of our limit and the number of charges that we were making against our account.We assumed,however,that if our purchases received telephone approval from your credit processors,we were still within our credit limit.,Improved Persuasive Request Letter,Ch.7-15,Improved Persuasive Request Letter,Please examine our account,Mr.Watson,and reconsider this penalty.Since we have never exceeded our credit limit in the past and since we had received telephone approval for most of the charges in question,we feel that the$120 charge should be removed.Sincerely,Ch.7-16,1.About 15 months ago your smooth-talking salesperson seduced us into buying your
