I received a bill for an XXXX XXXX XXXX Mastercard, issued by Barclaycard. The bill was for a past due charge of {$89.00} which related to the card 's annual fee. I never signed up for this Mastercard, nor received the card, nor activated the card, nor used the card. 

I called Barclaycard to deactivate the card and have the annual fee charge removed. They deactivated the card but refused to remove the {$89.00} annual fee charge. Their explanation was that I used to have a XXXX XXXX XXXX US Airways Visa card and that as a result of the US Airways XXXX XXXX XXXX merger I was issued a new card through Barclaycard. The Barclaycard representative I spoke to informed me that if I did not pay the charge, it would go to collections and negatively impact my credit. 

The unsolicited issuance of a credit card and subsequent charge of an annual fee is an entirely fraudulent and underhanded business practice. This is theft. Barclaycard has signed me up for a service without my consent and is charging me a fee that I did not agree to. I did not request their Mastercard, I did not receive their Mastercard, I did not activate their Mastercard, and I did not use their Mastercard. Their actions appear to me to be entirely criminal. They are preying on unsuspecting consumers and I request your help with this matter.
