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.

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.

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.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB
