Does an unactivated credit card hurt score?

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Dear Credit Card Adviser,
I heard that closing a credit card has a negative effect on the FICO score and have read your thread. My question is two parts: If I cancel a credit card that has never been activated, does this affect my FICO score? What about canceling a credit card that was unsolicited and sent to me (and) that was never activated? Thanks for your help.
