What is Orange Credit Card now?

My partner had an Orange Credit Card, but I know they closed down. He hasn't used it for ages (obviously) but wants to know if it was transferred to another company. Does he still have a credit card, or is the account now defunct?

Thanks!

    A quick google throws up Barclaycard. Does that concur with the research you've/he's done?


    Whether he still has an account may be confirmed by either contacting Barclaycard or checking his credit report.

    Thanks for that - hadn't thought about credit report. I just ran his credit report and nothing came up... It even said he didn't have a bank account or mobile phone account, so that's not right. Perhaps it will take a while for the data to propagate? Anyway... Perhaps we could contact Barclaycard.

    Thanks :)

    He'll have more than one. There are 3 CRAs in the UK, so he really ought to get all 3 to be sure.

    Okay might try Experian or something next then. That was annualcreditreport.co.uk

    dont pay for any reports.
    and it became Barclaycard, i understand.. so just call them on 0800 151 0900 to ask. i suspect it will be confirmed that the account is no longer open.
