    Default Barclay Card false information on Credit Report

    I checked my credit report today and it transpires that an account i was told was settled with barclaycard last year appears as nil payments for the last six months, but also says no balance outstanding and no payments due but obviously it is an adverse mark on my not fantastic credit rating..

    whats the best way to approach them to get this sorted out, do i send a template letter or a general complaint or speak with a regulatory body?

    any advice much appreciated!

    incidentally the account was settled after they swiped half my wage from Barclaysicon current account one month to pay off a defaulted card so i complained bitterly, they refunded the whole amount and settled the entire debt. edit

    Hi Oblong,

    ... they refunded the whole amount and settled the entire debt.
    Do you mean YOU paid off the entire debt ?

    Did you actually close the account?
    A account open with nil balance is not a negative, although having the availabel credit may reduce your chances of getting credit as you ahve available unused credit.
    Ring up and close the account....this is the quickest way for it to correct on yoru cresit report.
