Following on from my hubby receiving a default on his account with Barclaycard [:(!] when they sold on the debt to Max Recovery and the fact that the IVA was concluded 6 months ago......

Does anyone have any address details for Barclaycard. We need to get Barclaycards entry wiped off his credit files but cant seem to find an address to write to. Not even sure who I should address the letter to. Also I dont have any account information, ie account number etc etc and I cant find any such details in any of the paperwork for the IVA. Would this matter? I am going to send the letter registered so at least I know they get it. Also, should I give a timescale for them to reply? In fact, does anyone have any template letters I could borrow? [:D]

Sorry for all the questions [:I]

Kerri do you not have any old statements that you could refer to ? Try looking on their web site under CONTACT US. There's usually a phone number at the very least, and at best, an address.

It may be worth giving them a call to find out the right department to send it to - if you send it to an inappropriate department, they may not even read it but just chuck it in the bin.

There is a whole list of numbers there to call. I don't know if they will insist on your card number, but they may well require ID to locate your details.

I've found this under 'complaints' on the Barclaycard website:
