Gave my 16 digit ucas code by accident

I received a text from Barclays and accidently gave them my code, I don't want to open a student account with them, I want to cancel it how do I do this?

It's highly likely it wasn't actually Barclays who texted you - banks will not ask you for personal information over a text. You can't cancel a text once it's sent.

Banks will not ask you to give out any personal information over text, so that seems even more dodgy. I personally would go to your local branch and ask a member of staff, and also contact UCAS to see if there's any advice they can give you.
