    It could be that it hasn't updated fully yet.

    I paid off my barclaycard and then a few weeks later some other debts, but my barclaycard took about 2 months to update to paid off and show a reduced credit limit.

    Other creditors updated much quicker, even though paid off later.

    So maybe barclaycard just take a long time to update CRAs? So just keep checking and hopefully will update soon.

    Yeah they will send another update through in early August - this should show the account as closed and settled.
