Hounded after an account that was closed in 2006

<p>I recently purchased from a Foschini store with my credit card as I am a non account holder. Immediately I started to receive unsolicited emails which I can live with albeit very annoying. </p> <p>However I was horrified to receive a text today saying I have an outstanding balance of R80.63 and R40 is due by 01.01.2017. How as I have not had an account in years? Called & this balance comprises a charge for a "club" & "account benefit" and the agent confirms the last purchases were made in 2006. She agreed to reverse the fees and close the account but I am so annoyed that the account was "reactivated" in October by I must wonder whom and that should be investigated.</p> <p>Not a cool experience at all Foschini! Your agents are however extemely polite and very helpful!</p> <p> </p>
