Best Answer

Report the theft to the postal inspector and the local police.

Call the card issuer and report the theft. At this point I would prefer to cancel the card and block any auto-pay it had rather than have them issue a new card with a new number. Closing the account avoids the need to scan bills, block auto-payments and protest fraudulent charges passed through.

Can your employer apply for a company credit card in your name without your permission?

Ordinarily, that would be fraud, but from the credit card co. standpoint, you accept responsibility once you make a purchase on that card, in most cases. It will report good and/or bad on your credit once you begin usage. Just keep the card very secure for fraud purposes, that can get very messy if someone gets ahold of that info.
