Options
Just to let you know that if you had old loans or credit cards with Barclays and Barclaycard, they seem to have records going back to early 90's for sure.

Just won 3 claims and very happy

    Good to hear you won but I'm afraid your post is inaccurate. They will hold records for the 90s for some people e.g. those with active or recently closed accounts but as per the legal requirement of the DPA (GDPR as is now) they have to delete old records that are no longer needed so someone whose account was closed a long time ago may well find they do not have records back that long

    What you mean is that they still had your records going back to the 1990's.

    It's very unwise to suppose your experience will apply to everyone else, though.

    The fact is that the older the finance, the more the likelihood is that records will no longer exist. Generally speaking, only those who still have an active relationship with the Bank in question will find records going back decades.

    Which isn't to discourage anyone else from trying, of course.:)
