Hi All,

I have noticed that my Barclaycard with £1500 on (which went into my IVA last year) has now come off my credit report(s) and has been marked as closed.

Does this mean that BC simply wrote off the debt and closed the account?

Does this happen often?

Many thanks,

Maybe ... maybe not. It simply indicates that BC have amended the report to the particular CRA you are looking at. Creditors have many and varied ways of internally 'playing' with defaulted accounts, but these do not mean that the debt has 'disappeared', but is merely 'dormant' for the duration. The debt will not be officially written off until the IVA has successfully completed.

As foggy says, it is likely to still be seen somewhere on your credit file - you remain liable for it until the iva is completed and certificate issued
