    if they have not purchased the debt, then I would be inclined to deal directly with the original lender as you will get more sense out of them.

    Also if they cannot prove you owe the money in the first place, they *may* leave it alone.. so ask for original credit agreement.

    ps not that I am advocating walking away from debt. Just not dealing with debt collection agencies. If you can deal direct with Barclays life may be less full of threats.
