Anyone had a letter from Tescos about a credit card they don't have?

Just come in from work to find a letter from Tesco Bank saying I owe £1900 in 2 missed payments for a credit card I don't have:mad:!
Phoned them up and they told me not to worry as it's some sort of error and other people have got these letters - just wondering if anyone else has got one of these letters - and what sort of error is it where I suddenly get linked to a credit card and massive missing payments!

    Have you ever had a Tesco card?
  • yeah my OH received a letter from Tesco Bank today saying that they "received his letter of complaint about charges being added to his account" and that they would look into the matter for him and send a reply by 22nd August. Now my OH did previously have a credit card with Tesco but the balance was included in an IVA which was started 2 years ago and so for him to receive any correspondence from Tesco now is a bit strange. Perhaps this is a fall-out from the RBS fiasco in June (isn't Tesco connected to RBS?) so maybe this is now another computer glitch with people maybe receiving letters intended for other people? Who knows? My OH is for waiting to see what reply he gets on 22nd and then go from there.
