I opened a secured credit card with a limit of XXXX XXXX dollars. After a year or so, i decided to close that card, why pay interest to the bank for my money. This action happened to impact my credit negatively. No one informed me that this would impact my credit negatively and i do not understand how credit reporting companies can just look at information at face value and determine it requires a negative value. That practice is not aligned with core values and principles of lending. I did nothing wrong but i am punished for years as a result of this. Please take a moment and advise me on how to resolve my issue and what can i do to stop this practice that i will call an intentional oversight for lack of a proper term. Im sure this issue is XXXX, that XXXX americans experience everyday. 
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
