JPMorgan Chase United Mileage Credit Card Would not close account, now someone has used the card I didn't want sent to me. Internet
I accepted their card in 2004 because it had no annual fee. Never used it so I asked them to close the account. They gave me some run around about writing a letter to them and so I cut up the card, pasted it to a copy of a zero balance monthly statement, put it in their return envelope with a letter telling them to close, cancel, whatever to this account... thank you.
About six months later I moved out of the country. In 06-08 I returned on a visit and my brother gave me a sack full of junk mail to sort through. I found about twenty different credit cards for me, my son, and my wife, who is not a US citizen. I found new Chase cards for 2005, 2007, 2008. I wrote return to sender, no one by that name at this address and sent them all back.
I went to their website and found I was being charged for withdrawals and parking meters. I sent an email to them to send all these charges to their fraud dept. and that I don't even live in the US and no longer have nor want a credit card from their corp. They sent an email back saying they would forward it to their fraud dept. Great, I leave the country, fly back to my island and suddenly my brother emails me saying that some credit guy from Chase is looking for me and I am still being charged.

File police reports for Identity Theft and notify all valid creditors and the credit report agencies
also File formal complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and office of Thrift supervision against the original creditor.
Explain that you instructed them to close the account some time ago and that they now have fraudulent charges on the account you closed and they are trying to get you to pay.
