I got a Dubai First credit card that I never wanted. Their representative forced me to take this card. He said that it is free for life. I never activated the card, but now they have sent a message saying that I have to pay an annual fee of Dh400.

I spoke to the call centre. I wanted them to cancel the card, but they told me that I have to pay the annual fee first. Even though I didn’t activate the card, I need to pay before I’m allowed to cancel. This is not right!
