I closed my VULTR account after getting this email from them

You were $5.94 in debt, so they decided to take $275? Bit extreme...

How could you carry a balance there anyway? Was considering using Vultr at one point.

I don't know either, I bought a vps, left it there for a year and kind of forgot about it

Saw the email and scrambled as fast as possible to contact their support and close all my accounts.

How much was the VPS you purchased?
