Should the OFT have allowed loans at rates of 2,500% a year?

Alright so I’m trying on my Xbox again. It says “This account has been suspended … update information” or something like that. So I go to “My Account Settings” or whatever it’s called on my Xbox, and there are a bunch of options. One says “My Membership” I think. It says it’s ‘Gold’, but when I go to it, it says there aren’t any currently. I then went to “Redeem Code”, and did just that. I got this message:

“You’re signed up for this subscription, but it’s been suspended. To reinstate it, open your profile and select Account Management, Memberships, then update your payment info.”

And it tells me that when I DO update my info, they will instantly charge $50 to my account. So what the hell do I do? Seriously. I can’t get on Xbox LIVE unless I charge $50 to my account, when I already have the 12-Month Gold card.

Oh, and actually, my credit card doesn’t work, because like I said last night, it’s ‘UNABLE TO AUTHORIZE’ for some stupid ass reason.

Are companies legally allowed to keep your credit card information on their database after the credit card owner requests that it be removed?

An example would be a company that is charging a CC for a reoccurring subscription that you decide to cancel, if I ask that they remove the CC number and information, and they don’t, are they legally allowed to keep my numbers on file?
