Barclays won't update credit file.

Didn't know whether to post this here or on Bankruptcy board.

I was made bankrupt on 06/12/2007, since then I've tried to clear up my credit file.. every one of them has been done now, apart from my old Barclays current account.

It is still showing a current balance of £4,842 overdrawn.

I have written to them 3 times and included a copy of my bankruptcy discharge letter, but nothing, no reply, no requests and no updated credit file.

I'm not sure what else to do now?

    Hi

    Have you seen this thread? https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/677875

    If your letter was like the one in post 2 and they haven't done anythign about it then I think you'll need to complain to the ICO.
