Barclays Cash card Account help

basic_bank

Can someone advise me if the Barclays Basic Bank Account report to a Credit Reference Agency and if so which ones?

If someone that works for Barclays knows I would be grateful of a reply.

Thanks

I don't think they will cough such info if i'm honest unless BarclaysManager can furnace you with such fine information

Full auth cards do not work on planes, trains and petrol pay at pumps. This is industry standard and is well known throughout basic banking to be the case. To clarify this means if you;re actually on a plane in the sky it wouldn't go through, if you get on board a train and try to buy ticket from conductor it wouldn't go through and if you try and buy fuel at tesco pump it will not go through. The reason is all these terminals either authorise a nominal fee like £1 or do not authorise at all.

Therefore full authorisation cards do not work everywhere. This includes the Lloyds basic account card; HSBC full auth visa debit card; payg mastercards/visa's or electron/solo.

This is not actually true in all cases as I have a prepaid maestro from bread that I used to use before they added a 2% transaction charge on everything and with that I was able to by fuel at asda's pay at pump and they just took a £1 charge for authorization and then charged the card for actual transaction a few days later

I used one a long time ago on a train and the ticket collector simply took out the piece of paper that goes in the old click-clack machine and rubbed over the top of it with a pen or pencil then got me to sign it. The money was out of my bank account within the week.

Hi there, I have the Cashcard account with Visa Debit (Basic account) and they report to (at least ) Experian.
