Unsolicited issuance of credit card Alaska

They emailed me a copy of the bill and I paid it immediately, and instructed them to cancel the card that had already been destroyed. On -/-/16 I received another bill from Citi with a $110.00 balance. That balance was a result of Costco charging " my '' - for their membership fee.

I am not an expert on consumer protection, but this seems like such an overreach that there should be a law against it. If there is not, I assure you that I will speak with my - members about passing -.
