    with the MBNA ones until you choose to 'unlink' them from your ID they are viewable but closed. MBNA advised me to delete them from my accounts list and then as they were no longer linked to anything their system would delete the info in due course.
    how do you unlink them? I have just clsoed a virgin card today via letter.

    I had an Egg card some time ago and cancelled over a year ago, received confirmation of the account closed and thought nothing more about it.

    However, three days ago I decided to apply for a new egg card only to find out that when I input my details the system tells me that I already hold an account. I contacted egg and they confirmed that my account was closed and that they could "hide" my account on their system to enable me to be "a new customer". Apparantly they cannot just delete accounts off although they are actually closed.
    If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' someone else's dog around!

    I used to have an Egg card, now have an Egg Money card, however both accounts are still showing on the system. I have been assured by phone and over secure message that my Egg card is closed, but i can see the account for my information.
