Contact the credit card company and find out. If the phone contact cannot help you close the account, find out what steps you have to take to get it closed. Then, be persistent. Keep documented records of who you spoke to, date and time.

How do you check to see if you have a master card in your name?

Order a copy of your credit report. The credit report will contain a list of all credit accounts in your name. In the United States, you are entitled to one free credit report from each credit reporting company each year. There are three main credit reporting companies.


What can you do if you report to a credit card company that your husband took a credit card out in your name and you reported it to them and they did nothing?

If you are married, your husband can definitely apply for a credit card in your name. This is commonly done. Some husbands make their wives as supplement to their credit cards or apply for a separate card. So, the credit card company may not find anything wrong with what your husband did. Not unless, you and your husband are having problems, then if you have a case, better report it first to the proper authority before you approach the credit card company with your complaint or case.


If an employer issues you a credit card with your name on it for professional expenses will this show up on your credit report?

Probably not. We won't know until you check your report! But, if they provided the credit card company with your name, birthdate, and social security number, they might have well established an entry onto your credt report! This is a tricky area... beware. In general, if you did not agree to the credit card' terms, you are not bound, period. You are likely an agent of the employer and are thus an extension of the company - not extending liability to yourself. Of course, if you go on a spending spree, you could always be sued civily for say... actually, it might be a criminal charge. Can't think of what theory to use for someone who goes shopping with a company credit card so it must be criminal.


How can you know which credit cards you have under your name?

The simplest way to get this information is to pull your own credit. Each credit card along with other debts you have will show up as a "trade line" on your credit report. Keep in mind that new credit cards will sometimes take up to 60 to show up on your credit report.


Why are there two open accounts for macysdsnb on my credit report but i have never had a macy's card Could it be because my mother had my name as being able to use her Hecht's card a long time ago?

If you check your credit reports and find one or more accounts open for a credit card that you have never had, notify the credit bureau and the credit card company immediately. It may be a case of mistaken identity, it may have to do with your mother's account, but it also could be a case of identity theft.
