testforecho Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 On Monday, I mailed a certain CRA a kind of nasty letter. The CRA address is a few counties away from my home. About 4 days later, my only credit card stopped working. When I called the CC company, they said someone called them at 11:20AM to close the account. It wasn't me or my wife. Nobody has ever done this to me before and I do not have an ex-wife or anyone else I'd suspect.Is it within the CRA's bag of tricks to call my CC and close my account in response to a nasty letter? They are the only ones with all of the information to pretend they are me.This could be stuff of Conspiracy Theory 101, but I am just curious if anyone has had similar experience.

kb9tbq Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 That is a terrible thing to happen; but would not be able to know for absolute sure.Where you able to straighten out the matter & re-open the account?Would be sure to tell them you want a password & pin number placesd on this account that they are not to release any information on your account without verbal authorization from you (like a conference call) of sorts. That way they would not get this far next time in doing such a thing. This is the first I have ever heard of this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testforecho Posted May 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Yes, the CC company restored my card without any problems. I then put a pin on the account so it wouldn't happen. I doubt the CRA was the culprit and it could have been a CC administrative error - who knows? At least we know this is not a common occurence (according to your post).
