This applies to any credit card. You can do one of two things. 1) To CLOSE an account, you may still have a balance that you need to keep paying on but you can no longer charge on it. The advantage is that you prevent yourself from spending more. The disadvantage is that you can no longer negotiate lowering the interest rate if the account is no longer open. If you have a balance, it is to your best interest the stop spending, negotiate a lower rate, and pay it off as quickly as possible. 2) To CANCEL your card, you can not have a balance on it. The best thing to do is call the company to cancel, and then follow it up with a written request. Also ask them for a cancellation confirmation. Option 3, if you are trying to get rid of your debt, is to transfer your Kohl's balance to a Visa or MasterCard with a lower rate. Then cancel the Kohl card and DO NOT charge anything else on the MC or Visa. Just pay it down and close that when it is paid off.
