Question regarding credit cards.....

I signed up this evening for the 30 day free trial with Experian - It said that I have 2 negative factors about me - One of the factors was that the number of credit accounts that I use is too high.... I had a look and I have half a dozen credit cards - Most of them are still "Active" but are empty - The reason I have so many is because I move money onto 0% cards. My problem is that I get no statements from the empty ones any more - and instead of cancelling them I just cut up the cards after I transfer balances so that Im not tempted - Can I cancel these cards even though I have no account details?

    Just call the CC providers and most likely they will be able to identify you by your name and address
