Old BT Credit Card

in Credit cards
Hello,
I am currently going through the effects of my recently deceased brother, to ensure closure on things. It is not easy as he had financial bits all over the place.
I have come across his old (expired) BT credit card. However I am trying to find out if he cleared and closed this account as I cannot find any paperwork relating to it. I tried to ring the number on the back of the card however it is number unobtainable.
Any ideas how I can get in touch with them?
Many thanks

Whose banking licence does it say it was issued under (should be on the back of the card)?0

Thanks,
I have tried to decipher the (tiny) small print on the rear bottom of the card, however it is partly rubbed away. Plus the print is so tiny I would need a magnifying glass to be able to even make it out.
I may have to take it home with me and use a magnifying glass at home as I can't find one at his house.
Thanks though.

Looks like it may have been MBNA - scheme closed in 2012.
His balance would almost certainly have been cleared a long time back. If not, it would have been sold to a DCA by now, so you can probably safely forget about it.0 -

Yes, it was MBNA. I have just spoken with them and it was paid off early in 2013 (albeit the card is dated as valid to 12/2015!). The account was never officially closed though. Sadly I am finding this a lot with my late brother's affairs.
I did contact BT but they hadn’t a clue about it. They did however try to sell me fibre broadband which I thought was a bit inappropriate after I had explained the reason for calling!
