Circuit City cardholders hold cards that were underwritten by Chase Bank. Any payments, liabilities or issues pertaining to the card must be taken up with Chase. “If you have a negative balance with Circuit City, or with most retailers who have gone out of business, you have to pay the balance,” warns Scott Testa, a professor of marketing at St. Joseph’s University, located just outside of Philadelphia. “It’s Chase that assumes the debt as it’s the bank behind the Circuit City credit card.”
