clothing store credit card account closed but not deleted
user
you have little chance of getting it deleted. i have the same situation, i closed mine in 2006, and the login still works. keep the paperwork that you closed it (or print a pdf of the site showing so), and forget about it. if someone is trying to cheat, re-opening it should be the same difficulty as making a new one in your name, so it is not really an additional risk. you could also set the username and password both to a long random string, and not keep them. that soft-forces you to never login again. note that it will also stay on your credit record for some years (but that's not a bad thing, as it is not in default; in the contrary). the only negative is that if you apply for credit, you might be ashamed of people seeing you ever having had a sears or macy's card or so.
