You say last activity. Define Activity. Is "Activity" not when the debt is passed to collections?

Berz out.
A credit company can still keep your account "revolving" even though there has not been any activity on it from your side regardless of how many years have gone by.

I have a Brick Card from 2000 that, not only have I tried to close, but has never had any activity on since 2000. It still show on my credit report every month.
