Barclays PLC Credit card department,
Unsolicited issuance of credit card Pennsylvania
The - - Credit card was owned and managed by - -. I was at one time an - - - -. I canceled my - - credit card several months ago. Apparently, the - - card has recently been purchased by Barclaycard. Without asking, Barclaycard sent me another card, on the account that I had canceled. I did not activate this new card or reopen a new account. My prior account had already been closed and canceled by me. Barclaycard is now saying they will charge me an annual fee on this new card - the one that I canceled and never reapplied for. Basically, they are starting a line of credit in my name, that has an annual fee attached, without asking, and on the basis of an account I had previously closed. I will call and cancel the already canceled card once more, but I should not have to take time to do this again. Additionally, how do I know they will not reactivate my account again without permission? Please address this unethical, and I assume illegal activity.
