Truworths account i did not apply for

A couple of years ago I received a card in the mail from truworths. This was at a commune I was living at during university. I had not app**** for the card and had no idea how they got that information.<br> <br> Now this past week my parents who happen to live a good 700km away from me get a card in the post for an account that I have not app**** for. Surely this is a crime to forcefully pin accounts on people. How can such a big business be guilty of harrassing people like this?<br> <br> I feel very violated by this company. Worst part is that I already do not shop from them because of the previous **** they tried to pull on me.
