Barclays PLC Credit Card Complaint

Closing/Cancelling account

Barclays PLC Credit card department,

Closing/Cancelling account Florida

I have been contacted by Barclayard Visa to advise that unless I use my card they will cancel the card. I have not used the card in a year, prior I made a large purchase paid several payments then paid off the card. If they cancel my card for not using it my credit score will be effected in a negative way. So in essence I have been told that I must make a purchase or my credit score will be altered, to me this is fraud. - has used similar strong arm techniques.
