Huang,
Banks or lending Institutions, have to make available, some form of contact
beyond that of an automated account service.
If you got a bill, send a written request to get the application you sent to
them, and terminate the card.  Send in the same letter that you did not
request this card and they are to restore your credit to pre-issuance
status.
They have 30 days to comply with the request for the application, and 90 to
restore the credit.
Call the state AG and report them for illegal/deceptive trade practices.
DO NOT USE THE CARD!
