Barclays Removing Marker

I was discharged on 17/09, on 18/09 I visited Barclays to show them proof of my discharge so that the bankruptcy marker could be removed from my account and I could have online/telephone/mobile banking back.

Does anyone know how long this usually takes as I still can't access it. I've tried phoning customer services but they just tell me they can't talk to me about my account because of the marker and I can't speak to the insolvency team!

    Thanks - hopefully by the end of this week then.

    Did they call/email/text to let you know or did you just have to keep trying?

    If the branch have done the job correctly then they will have forward it on insolvency team at manchester, last time i heard there was a backlog but they were still operating within their usual turnaround of 5 working days :) Congratulations on the discharge!
