I received a credit card in the mail that I didn't sign up for. This company called me up couple of times and I told them I was not interested and to take me off their list.
They agreed and still sent me a card.
They only have the activation phone number which has only two opitons...1 activite your card and 2 hang up
.....and no other enquiry line number....

No phone number on the back of the credit card? Don't activate, this could be a scam. Look on line and see if you can find them, and get a telephone number. If not, contact the Attorney General in you state and explain. They can follow up on this.

Contact the BBB to help you out. The Better Business Bureau will work with you as a third party to help clear the air. It's agianst the law for them to do that. Also contact the 3 main credit co. to make sure that the credit card is not active on your credit report.

Perhaps you should search the company up with a search engine like www.google.com or www.yahoo.com. Try to find the company's webpage and then call a customer service number located on the page. I would shred the credit card; however, make sure you save the credit card number, expiration date, and security code located on the back of the card. You may need that for your records later.

This sounds like a scam.
I recommend you refuse any future mail and phone calls from this company. Mark the envelope "REFUSED - RETURN TO SENDER" and drop it back into the mail system.
If you have caller ID don't answer unless you know the caller/number shown.
If they persist, call the law - start with the Attorney General's office. Good luck.

my advise to you would be to check the card out because their are so many credit card companys out there who are doing wrong they see you in the need for a credit card then they suck you in,and they charge redicouls charges before you even use the card like actavation charges and such and after all of the other charges that they get you for you might have 40 or 50 dollars to spend so either tear it up or do whats best for you but please be carefull and make the right deceison

I would cut the card in half and send it along with all of the account numbers ie. your information and forms, I would put all of it in their envelope and send it to their billing dept. with a note saying that you are not interested and sign and date it.
If you keep it and dont use it or just throw it away it may be one of those cards that bills you for having it and you will get a bill for that amount and you will have to pay it or they will report you to the credit bureau.

Just don't activate it. Cut it up and forget about it. If you don't activate it, it can't be used. Not using it will not hurt your credit score if not activated. It probably wont even show up on your report as an open account anyway. Just cut it up and throw it away.

just don't activate it. try looking online for a customer service #. check on the back of the card, there should be a 1800 # or something toll free. call that and give them hell!

Well, you should called the credit bureau to complain the credit card solicitation.
