in Credit cards
Perhaps a bit of a school boy question here, but I was wondering if you want to close down a credit card account, what do you do? Unsurprisingly closing accounts is not mentioned in any of my credit card’s user guides!
Cheers in advance.

I just call them. Asking for a letter to confirm is often a good idea. Barclaycard forgot to action my closure and I only discovered it much later when I got a credit reference report.0
