Hi there,
I was discharged on 19 July 2008.
Im trying to clean up my credit files but i have a Credit Card Company on there from Barclays Bank Plc, but there account number is different from the cards i use to have?
Could this be an error on the file or could the bank have given me a new account number?
Could it be Goldfish? as i use to have this card and cant see a record on my files for this one.
Im confused.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Jack.

I think Goldfish took over Morgan Stanley, and I think it is possible now that Barclays have eaten the Goldfish! :rolleyes:
but I am not certain, I had a MS Card and then Goldfish took it over and I remember seeing some letter to do with Barclays telling me they had taken something of mine over but I could be mistaken! I didn't really pay attention to it because it is just another creditor letter!
But normally they wouldn't change your account number. So maybe try asking for a copy application from this company to check it is really meant to be on your credit file.BSC #215/No.1 Jan 09 Club0 -
