How annoying...

This week I paid off my credit card and asked for the account to be closed.

a few days later I got a letter through the post saying "sorry your leaving, your account will be closed when your current card expires - we will not issue a replacement"

Hold on a minute! I asked for the account to be closed NOW! I don't want an account open in my name for another year until they decide to close the account.
bunch of monkeys!

I phoned and told them this - the lady assured me she will close the account today.
