Removing name from Barclays account

Help needed please......

I have a joint account with my partner with Barclays Bank. It was originally my partners account. I had my name added to the current acount over three years ago. Now as the relationship has dissolved i wish to have my name removed.

The overdraft is in his name and always has been. I am having my finances redirected to come out of my own account now.

Any help or ideas welcome, i need to resolve this a quickly as i can.

Thanks

    Sorry, but the overdraft is in both your names if it's on a joint account. You are jointly liable for the overdraft.

    What you can do, however, is visit a branch and ask to be removed from the account. You do not need his permission or presence to do this.

  • Thank you, i'll give it ago and see what they say. The overdraft will be clear tomorrow as he gets paid.

    Thanks again
