Old Store Card

Hi All,

Just a quick one for you.

Whilst Went BR in January, and whilst going through some old stuff in the loft I found a storecard that i had several years ago and its still at an old address (parents). Its not been used for and has had zero balance for at least 4 if not 5 years. As a result it was forgotten and not mentioned in BR.

Should I

(A) tell OR that I have found this
or
(B) just cut it in half and return it to the store closing the account and forget about it?

Thanks.
BR - late January 2007

Early Discharge - early August 2007 (6 months 2 days)

    Ummm, ok this may sound bad to everyone else, but I would be tempted to keep it until after discharge from bankruptcy, and then use it to build up a credit score. This would mean paying it off very strictly whenever it was used.


    Ok everyone, you can now pile on me and shout me down and spank me.

    Yes. I had one ages ago, which they closed after 2 years of no spending on it.
    I suspect this one is dead and buried well before your BR.
