    Send a letter to them marked FAO: Data Controller to:

    Barclaycard
    1 Churchill Place
    London
    E14 5HP

    Explain the situation and advise they have recorded false and inaccurate data by placing a Barclaycard account on your credit files as although you were initially accepted for it, it was never opened, ergo no account information should have appeared on your credit file.

    Advise you provide 30 days for the data to be removed to prevent action being sought via the Information Commissioner's Office.

    Barclaycard seem to be doing this lots at the moment, maybe there's a glitch in their acceptance system?
