Unless you have co-signed the loan document there is no liability upon you to pay the said amounts. However, you should in any event ask the person who is getting in touch with you to send you a written demand notice with the amounts due and the interest charged thereon. Once you have it on paper you could approach the bank officials to work out an alternate form of payment to be broken into installments.

As the loan was in your daughters name, no one can claim the same from you. Secondly, these calls are generally made by recovery agents who tend to pressurize customers for settlement. You can record the conversation next time they call and tell them to send you the details of such amount by post or email.
Additionally, collect copies of the loan schedule, all emi receipts paid by you (or bank statement in case it was ECS) and any further communication you sent to bank after it was found closed. Contact the customer care of barclays directly and narrate the events. You can offer for settlement also.
However, it is advisable that you engage a lawyer who would be able to get the matter sorted along with maintaining your daughters cibil ratings and getting a no dues certificate from the bank.
