Best Buy
Closed Credit Card Account Used for Charge Reported to Credit

Dear Friend:

In July I paid my Best Buy Credit card off, and I CLOSED the account. Even I shouldn't be able to use the account to make any type of purchase at Best Buy.

And yet to my greatest surprise, I received a statement from Best Buy, about a purchase I had made with the account, which I have closed.

Without verifying, while the account was still CLOSED, Best Buy let someone use my account to purchase a CD, for over 200.

Now there is no way I am going to be paying for this because I had explicitly closed the account. So there is no way that a transaction should be happening on this account.

Now it seems that this is being reported to my credit. I have credit monitoring. And after speaking with a manager at Best Buy, they said that they were going to do something about it... One of these things that take a lot of time.

And now this may negatively affect my credit.

Sincerely,

Company: Best Buy
Country: USA
