Abbey CC - !!!!!!?

I have had an Abbey CC for a few years now, used it for a 0% period and then paid it off. It's been "dormant" since. I had a letter this morning saying that it's been £30 in credit for 12 months (I didn't realise). The letter goes on to say that if it remains in credit next month, they will make £10 annual "service charge". What's the world coming to?

    MBNA are starting to make an annual charge on dormant accounts. If you have no need for the card any more just cancel it.
  • I'm going to cancel it. The Halifax just wrote and told me they were going to close the account unless I contacted them and asked them not to. That seems much better to me though than charging £10!
