Banco Popular de Puerto Rico Credit Card Complaint

Unsolicited issuance of credit card

Banco Popular de Puerto Rico Credit card department,

Unsolicited issuance of credit card Utah

I received a notice in the mail asking me to set up a pin for a credit card I did n't apply for or receive. I called and it was a very short message saying that I can validate the pin or request a new one. I ignored it. A few days later I received a credit card in the mail from Popular bank from - -. It was their - Visa card. It had a limit of $15000.00. If someone was simply trying to steal my ID they would n't have sent the card to me so I then questioned whether Popular Bank was behind this or someone at their bank was doing this in the hope that I would validate the card and then use it. I called the bank on -/-/- and they were evasive, they transferred me to their fraud department who said they would get back with me. Today is the -/-/-, I have not heard anything so I called again. The customer care department wanted me to give them a lot of additional personal information, which I refused to do ( Birth date, full SS number, etc. ) I was transferred to the fraud department who claim the account has been canceled and I have n't received any response from them due to the large number of issues with which they are dealing. They said it would be 30 days. I really think something is going on with this bank that deserves your attention.
