Very.co.uk terminating agreement

Hi

Not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes.

I have an old account with Very that I never use. Yesterday they wrote to me to say that as I never use it they are invoking a "termination clause" which will end my credit agreement with them and close my account, unless I buy something else.

I don't care about this credit agreement ending, but I am concerned that them ending the agreement rather than me would affect my credit rating in some way?

    No, apart from the mortgage and a small ratesetter loan, I don't have any outstanding debts. I always pay everything off in full each month,

    Good for you. I think soon you'll be able to take advantage of their usual bonus for opening a new credit account.

    If you don't use it or even plan to, I don't see the problem?!
