Yeah, one credit card company did the same thing to me with one of Johan's cards. I called them and they fixed it pretty quickly.
One thing I highly recommend is that you pay one of the reputable credit reporting places for a year's subscription and then check your reports (all three of them, Equifax, TransUnion and Experian) regularly to make sure crap like that hasn't crept in. It took me a couple of years to fix some damage done to my credit report when I took my first $*&#@ lawyer's advice about how to handle some bills. Just be careful, because there are all sorts of scammers out there doing credit reports. To get the once-annual free reports, go to the FDIC website at http://www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/ccc/reporting.html
