Do I have to pay interest on the annual fee owed by the credit card?
If you don't return it, your credit information system will have a bad record. In the long run, it will be a vicious circle. The annual fee will generate interest, but the monthly interest will not. After a long time, your credit information system will minimize your credibility, and eventually you will be isolated from the bank. Moreover, one day in the future, you will be summoned by the court and forced to repay, and you can't change it.
