Possible Identity Theft
Hi
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this.
I received a letter today declining a Barclaycard which I didn't apply for.
I called them but they could not find any record under my name or the reference
My Experian report is not showing any recent searches but Equifax is showing a hard search from Barclaycard on 19 January.
Why then can't Barclaycard find me details.
I'm really concerned. All my details were stolen a few years ago during the Capita Breach but this is the first anything untoward has happened.

Go back to Equifax and ask for more details. Maybe they can inform Barclaycard of the search details and then come back to you with some answers.
A bit strange (presumably) that the search would have been on your home address but you received no paperwork?
I have to ask; could it be someone close to home who could hide things from you?
