According to a new study from the credit bureau, TransUnion, there are as many as eight million credit card accounts that are deemed ?incactive? today. The inactive accounts are believed to have contributed to the 24.6% decrease in U.S. Credit card delinquency rates.

Cash and debit card use has increased while the use of credit cards has declined contributing to softer profits for the credit card industry.
