Most ccc's will close an account by telephone. It is preferable however, to do so in writing and to request written confirmation of the account being closed.

Does it hurt your credit to close a credit card account that has a zero balance and is in good standing?

Credit scores are calculated based on ALL the information showing in your credit at the time they are requested. In addition, they factor in "open" accounts in certain areas. You haven't provided enough information about your overall credit to receive a specific answer. If you have two to four revolving accounts after closing this one, you may be fine. If this is a recently opened account, you may be fine. But closing any account may change the length of time you have had credit (one important factor in scores), or the amount of credit available to you (which would change your ratios, another important scoring criteria). With a detailed picture of your current credit standing, someone with enough knowledge might be able to guess. But it would still be just a guess. The only way you will know for sure is to pull your scores, close the account, and re-pull your scores.
