When you close the pay day loan etc all for a letter of confirmation that the account is settled and closed. Then check that bet moved to the closed accounts section on credit reports. Just in case you pay what you owe and they add something like interest that will stop the closure.0

No harm to also keep the Barclaycard. Later you can apply for a Barclaycard that offers a better deal and they normally let you move credit limits between cards.0
