    They are probably reporting that it exists, not that there's a debt on it.

    Almost all accounts show up in your credit history and will show that you aren't using an overdraft but very little else.  Nothing to worry about unless you get into an overdraft by mistake and are unable to clear it.

    I had a basic account with Santander way back when, and even that was reported to my credit files. As above it isn't really an issue - it's just reporting that the account exists and if you look closely it should say that it has a limit of £0 with a usage of £0.
