Banks silently close inactive credit cards despite alert enrollment

US Bank automatically closed a long-standing credit card with an $11,000 limit due to inactivity, despite the customer being enrolled in email and text alerts and having no missed payments. The closure was irreversible and damaged the customer's credit score. Banks routinely close inactive accounts without adequate notice, blindsiding consumers who rely on those credit lines.
