@barclaycard Weird letter from Barclaycard offering refund

[jims45]

I have a credit card debt with Barclaycard dating back to 2014 and have not made a payment or been contacted by them for at least three years.

 

Today I received a letter stating they are making a refund of £75 being an "inconvenience payment" and asking for a contact telephone number my bank details and a signature so they can make the refund.

 

They also state:

"We are now closing your account and do not require any further payments in relation to the outstanding balance. Your account is partially settled this means although there is still an outstanding balance on your account you won't need to make any more payments"

 

Is this a fishing exercise to get my details and confirm the debt or is it genuine?

Sounds to good to be true:???:

Sound like a non compliant agreement and charges somewhere that dont comply.

I dont think it is... Ive seen this before.

 

The only way to know is to write to them
