    Its a normal credit search seen by other lenders

    Thanks. When I applied for current accounts with Lloyds and HSBC they did those invisible searches that other lenders can't see :)

    Question for BarclaysManager. When you open a current account at Barclays does it do an Unrecorded Enquiry or a hard credit search?

    Primary ("hard, recorded") search for new to bank, secondary ("soft, invisible") for additional accounts.

    Littlepink. Can you please call customer relations and get them to set up a complaint as that needs to be investigated as well. Whoever did that should be able to provide a set of demands and needs for setting up the account as it all has to be recorded, which is meant to stop things like that happening.

    There should not have been an immediate resolution to the matter and CT know it. All mis-selling is treated seriously within the company.
    I work for Barclays, however anything I say on this forum is not the official word of Barclays. I am only here to supply relevent information to assist.
  • hey, thanks for the advice but i don't really want to phone up again, i hate phoning people.

    You can do it online instead. http://www.personal.barclays.co.uk/BRC1/jsp/brccontrol?task=articlegroup&value=3657&site=pfs

    It's important that we know about things like this - honestly.
