I have had a XXXX branded XXXX XXXX credit card from FIA Card Services for a couple of years. I have always paid the bill on time and in-full. In XXXX of 2015, after a string of occasions where the credit card became " locked '' due to suspected fraudulent activity, I elected to cancel the card. I phoned in on XXXX and asked for my account to be closed. Rather than closing my account, they reissued a new credit card. To my horror, I learned in XXXX that the account was actually still open and that they were posting charges to it XXXX including some, it seemed, that were back-dated to XXXX and XXXX but had never appeared before ). I XXXX again asked for the account to be completely cancelled. They assured me it would be. It was not. I then called again, on XXXX XXXX and spoke to XXXX people XXXX XXXX and XXXX in 'Credit ' ). They said " not to worry, the account was fully cancelled '' but that certain recurring charges might still post. I asked them to fully cancel and deny any recurring charges. They said they would see what they could do and would call me back. Which they never have. Now, in XXXX, the account still appears to be open with charges recurring. I feel trapped by this company ; they are clearly keeping my account open for credit purposes. And while I have been paying the bills in full, I simply want the account cancelled. I have never had this experience with a credit card company -- where they promise to take a specific action and never do.
