unsolicited credit card

[Angel717]

I received in the mail today a credit card from my bank, but I never applied for it. When I called, they said it was a glitch in their system and there wasn't any fraud involved. I guess I'm a little suspicious and will be watching my mail for the cancellation letter. I'm wondering how this is going to look on my credit report, too. Then again, it's nice to know that I could get a card from them if I wanted.

Has anybody else gotten a credit card without applying for it?

yes. our credit union always has lots of problems in this department.

I work for a company that issues credit card. You mentioned that you are waiting for your cancellation letter. Make sure that they also take the inquiry off of your credit report and closed the account with a status that it will not report to your credit file. Just an FYI.

Thanks for the info. I'll check into it after I get the letter.
