Barclays Bank Poor customer service

Wow, what a joke of a bank. Barclays Bank's customer service department is by far THE worst I have encountered. I am surprised Frontier Airlines has not moved on to a different bank to administer the frequent flier credit card offer. The customer service at the bank is the worst I have ever experienced.

If I did not love Frontier Airlines and want the mileage credit I would have dumped Barclays Bank long ago.

Seriously, I do not understand how a company (Barcays) can stay in business with the poor customer service, lack of follow through, incompetent employees, not well-trained employees on their own products (e. g. stating they don't offer a "Pay Pass" credit card through Frontier Airlines, when they do!), weak supervisors, not calling back within 24 hours as they state a manager will do and managers not even aware of what the problem is.

This goes back to mid-May when I was sent a new credit card because I was "upgraded" to a better card. Two months later and nearly 30 phone calls and I don't have resolution and continue to get incompetent customer service employees who give me incorrect information and do not seem to care to fix the situation. Stay clear of getting one of these cards if you can help it. (I read the negative post by a person who "was roped" into one there at the Denver Airport.)

I am so disappointed in this product, Barclays Bank, any Barclays cards, especially the Frontier Airlines Barclays MasterCard, the incompetent call center they use in Manila, the uniformed bank customer service personnel in the U.S. who do not follow through and seem uninterested in helping, Frontier Airlines.

There are other better choices out there. Be aware - Mike

Barclays Bank Staff

I used to work for Barclays, at 18 i was offered a high paying seemingly stable job where i could help people and have a chance to advance through the company. I found a home of my own, was able to pay for it and have money for a comfortable lifestyle, for my age anyway. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the fact you got paid for the months training, which was easy really, know your products be friendly and helpful. O.K so it starts well then i realise you work a month in hand which is pretty standard i guess. So all my travel and lunches and living costs needed to be covered, here comes the barclays HR department who offered an overdraft to me to help through the first month, great! or not. After a week or so 'live' on the phones dealing with real customers the odd balance query sometimes a home insurance quote no problems, you guessed it . . until I was told i now had a sales target. So i was accredited to sell insurance on loans etc. and shown the loan application process, then things start to get tough. I am being told by my new team leader and my trainer to hammer through as many sales as possible to win this weeks prize! a bottle of wine occasionally an entry into a draw for an i-pod between 1500 people. Hmm! It was not long before i was being monitored and had team leaders over my shoulder pointing out that this customer could get a loan, this customer didnt have an overdraft, this person had a basic account get them to upgrade. Let me say that that sounds like good advice but when none of these customers ask for any of these products and some are totally unsuitable for them like a loan for an 80-year old with £25000 savings just because a loan is available to them that was when i started to feel a little uneasy. Or an overdraft for someone barely managing to stay afloat anyway. Even when someone rang asking to apply for a loan then i had to push payment protection insurance because it made the bank a lot of money many people want the loan enough they will agree to anything even when they dont need it. (this is really serious as these things are governed by the law and i honestly felt very pressured into selling this product by my team and management).
I started to get heartly sick of customers ringing their bank for help and i was being told just to fob them off to get another call going that could offer a sales opportunity. I understand that sales environments are high pressured but they should also be of benefit to the customer. Eventually i started taking days off sick as i could not face telling someone that their cheque would clear in time to cover their bills when in reality it would not and they would be getting a charge for this. There were always simple solutions to these problems but my hands were tied that was not how the bank really operated. The amount of times i heard staff discussing customers balances, problems, accents or direct debits such as porn subscriptions was unreal. It was an awful place to work and eventually because i had so much time off i was sacked which is fair enough. I could have sucked it up and gone after the job with a cold heart done my job and been happy with the paycheck, but at the same time i know i would want to ring my bank and be told the truth. In fact while i was working there if i rang the call centre with a query or request and i was fobbed off until i explained i was staff.
When i was sacked i received a letter and was told that the overdraft that had seen me through my month in hand had to be repaid immediately and as i had not been at the company long enough i would not be receiving any holiday pay or the rest of my wages to cover it.
As i still had a home to pay for and had just fallen pregnant i continued to up my overdraft limit and used it as a way of getting by. Despite knowing my financial situation they continued to increase this overdraft. I am a little to blame there.
Now i have been a stay at home mum for 2 years and my husband works a low paid menial job, we struggle to make ends meet at the best of times they are still trying to recover the overdraft amount which with charges and interest now amounts to over £2500. I get another threatening letter or phone call every week. I honestly wish i had never been so naive and thought a job that looked that good really would be. I am not the only person in this boat and know of at least one other ex-staff member on my team who felt the same way and left who would be willing to bring their story forward. I am sure i have some of the training leaflets still and they are eye-openers too. I would advise anyone never to use Barclays bank or any of their products or affiliated groups they do not have customer service at heart if they have a heart at all. It makes me sick to hear in the press that even through an economic crises that the public fund bailed them out of they still post huge profits and all the bonuses come at the expense of their ripped off customers and any staff who stand in their way. I wish i was the kind of person who could quieten my conscience and live a lucrative lifestyle being part of a multimillion dollar corporate rip-off.

Barclays Bank Identity checks

I have a student i-bank account in Barclays. I am a female international student. Every time I do any bank transaction or for that matter even speak to the customer care executives, they ask me for my passport. I was even turned away once for not having carried one with me. I feel so insulted every time this happens.

What is it? Am I a terrorist to them? or is a transaction of £50-£500 a matter of national security? Is this a rule? Must I continue keeping mum over it?

Barclays Bank Over charge after account closed

Closed credit card account out, they allowed a charge made after the account was closed. Paid for that charge, they then charged me late fees and interest. they were supposed to waive them, and did not. Several phone calls to them, customer service peoploe can not thnk for them selves, they can only read of a scropt and will not help me.

Supervisor are never available. They supposedly are supposed to revie my account and never do.

they are rude and inconsiderate. Would not give me the address of the President to write a letter. I am very frustrated and refusing to pay this money.

Barclays Bank Interest charges

I used a balance transfer offer. The agreement was that they would not charge interest, and then they started charging interest, claiming that it was on my other purchases. I reduced the balance substantially below the original balance transfer amount and the still kept charging interest. Further, they have raised the interest charges to about 20% even though I was never late with a payment. I just paid off the bill. I plan to cancel the card. Shall I try to resolve it first? It will take me a week or two to pull all my old bills together.

Barclays Bank Unethical credit card company

Paid offJuniper credit card; went to check balance was at zero a couple of weeks later and found they had put on additional finance charges. Called and spoke to customer service agent who barely spoke English. He said it was a charge imposed on them from the bank that made my payoff. Called that bank to find that was not true. Wrote emails and got more incorrect answers and no answer on the last email I sent. Called corporate office and got a song and dance over the charges imposed. Paid the 99.00 because I knew they would just be thrilled to keep getting more of my money by assessing late charges. Paid the #@%$ interest they wanted and then called to cancel my card. They couldn't even do that without transferring me around to more Indian accented whatevers that I couldn't understand and they kept at me to stay with Juniper. So, I even had a hard time dealing with them to cancel my card! Stay far far away from this scamming credit card.

Barclays Bank Shame on Juniper Bank customer service

Today was a first for me. Juniper Master Card. Juniper increased my Rate from 7.99 to 23.24 APR. Their reason, my payment was late. Mind you, the payment at best is 4 days late.

As a rule I pay all payments via bill pay accounts and until this late posting of my payment, I have never missed or been late with a payment with their firm. After heated conversations with them my opinion and actions of Juniper are as follows: They are crooks. Juniper Master Card and this industry will continue to rob people unless they become regulated. The reasonable interest that they make on transactions are not enough, they subscript to greed and will not end their blood sucking practices without the applications of a strong hand that is heavier then the one they currently swing.

My responses to their actions are as follows.

1) I closed my account on the spot.
2) My wife closed her account.
3) I have issued payment in full to bring the balance to zero. (I refuse to allow them an opportunity to make one extra penny at my expense.)
4) I will write both to the state and federal Congress and Senate concerning their policies.
5) My memory is long, and I will protest their action at every opportunity and event that I attend. I believe that I come in contact with no less than 30 people per day. Do the math (30 people * 360days). I will commit to this campaign for at least one year none stop.
6) I will never knowingly support any business or associated business related to Barkley Bank and any of it associated firms and or holding.

Note the number 6. The number should really be 666.

Shame on you Juniper Credit Card and the members of its senior management that would support such a business tactic and strategy.

Barclays Bank Harassment-calls at least 5 times a day

In 8/09 I made a major charge on my Juniper Barclays account causing my balance to be right at the credit limit. I planed on paying this down off of the limit line before any finance charges hit my account. However, My cycle close date was changed with notification so when my "finance charges" for the month hit my account it was pushed over the credit limit causing a $39 over the limit fee. I pay everything through my online bill pay and since I'd been paying on the account so long and was well aware of my cycle close date/due date I didn't even look at the bill. Well since they added the $39 over the limit fee and changed my cycle date, my payment basically went into a black hole, it didn't touch my balance. AND because I went over the credit limit because of the fees they jacked my interest from 7.99% to 27.99%! Next months finance charge was thorugh the roof! Again, since I new what my balance was (at least I thought I did), I made another normal payment of about $10 over the minimum payment. Well since the payment had gone up since my rates were increased and another over the limit fee and now a late fee was added the payment went again into a black hole. Now I call Juniper once I realize what had happened and explained. They said they could reevaluate my account in 6 months but until then wouldn't consider lowering my interest rate. I was now a couple hundred over in fees...every month adding $78 in late fees/over limit fees. I told them I would pay my balance but REFUSED to pay the ridiculous fees! The wouldn't accept that. So I told them I'd pay them the full amount once I had $1700 to pay it off. I began recieving phone calls seriously 5-10 a day from 8:01 am to 8:59 PM 7 days a week...even sundays at 8:01 am! I spoke to some many RUDE people who you cannot even understand that I just gave up. Everytime it's a different person, they never read the notes, they never know what's going on...so I just stopped answering. Then they started calling my WORK 3 times a day! I told them they would get me fired if they continued to call me at work. They said the number was removed. This went on for 2 months. I contacted the BBB. The response Barclays gave was that the number was removed and they didn't have record of these calls being made! Then Barclays sends me a letter stating they will settle for $1760...I'll take it! I call and tell the "supervisor" I want to pay this off but I wouldn't have the full amount until Feb '10. She said that was fine she'd stop the fees and have $89 automatically deducted from my checking account for 3 months until I could pay the full balance off. GREAT! January 2010 comes, I get the money to pay it off, call Juniper and they tell me this conversation NEVER HAPPENED and that I owed $2600 (almost $1000 in fees and interest!) No way! I spoke with a supervisor "Chris". Explained everything to him...he was polite enough and told me he'd get it figured out and call me on the 1/20/10. Well I did recieve a call on the 20th...5 of them...and not one was "Chris" or anybody who had a resolution to this issue. So guess what Barclays, send my butt to collections...at least they won't call me 5 times a day! Everytime they call now I tell them "Send me to collections, stop calling!" Nope. Very persistant. If this was Citibank or a larger bank I'm sure they would have handed me over to collections 3 months ago...but not Barclays, they want every cent of those fees! Not happening.

Barclays Bank Declinining prepaid mastercard

This is an ongoing complaint with Barclays. Throughout 2009 and also in January this year I have used a Prepaid Payzonemoney Mastercard for high street and online purchases.

However, on 5 occasions last year and twice this year I have experienced "card declined" in online purchases BUT ONLY WHEN THE CARD PROCESSOR IS BARCLAYS.

I have complained with the managers in various branches and even made them contact Barclays Head Office ( in my prescence) - they have denied all knowledge or responsibility. Stated (it was a vendor software problem) - strange isn't it it ONLY HAPPENS WITH BARCLAYS!

Barclays Bank Bad business practices

We closed our account with Juniper/Airtran (Barclays)because we asked if they could lower our interest rates of 27% after we made a one-time payment covering 33% of our bill and they said no. We were warned that because we were closing the account, the rate could never be adjusted, it would remain at 27%. Now after about 1 year of on-time payments, they just INCREASED our rate to 30%! Once again, like other customers before me, a scripted service rep (if you could call them that) said that Barclays has the right to adjust rates as they see fit. How can you refuse to decrease a rate because an account is closed, but you can increase it?

Wow, what a joke of a bank. Barclays Bank's customer service department is by far THE worst I have encountered. I am surprised Frontier Airlines has not moved on to a different bank to administer the frequent flier credit card offer. The customer service at the bank is the worst I have ever experienced.

If I did not love Frontier Airlines and want the mileage credit I would have dumped Barclays Bank long ago.

Seriously, I do not understand how a company (Barcays) can stay in business with the poor customer service, lack of follow through, incompetent employees, not well-trained employees on their own products (e. g. stating they don't offer a "Pay Pass" credit card through Frontier Airlines, when they do!), weak supervisors, not calling back within 24 hours as they state a manager will do and managers not even aware of what the problem is.

This goes back to mid-May when I was sent a new credit card because I was "upgraded" to a better card. Two months later and nearly 30 phone calls and I don't have resolution and continue to get incompetent customer service employees who give me incorrect information and do not seem to care to fix the situation. Stay clear of getting one of these cards if you can help it. (I read the negative post by a person who "was roped" into one there at the Denver Airport.)

I am so disappointed in this product, Barclays Bank, any Barclays cards, especially the Frontier Airlines Barclays MasterCard, the incompetent call center they use in Manila, the uniformed bank customer service personnel in the U.S. who do not follow through and seem uninterested in helping, Frontier Airlines.

There are other better choices out there. Be aware - Mike

Barclays Bank Barclay's charging late fees

I missed a payment in Dec 09 of $12.00 for a credit limit of 600.00 credit card I have with Barclay's Bank Juniper Card. I have been harrased by phone and at my job. I sent in a payment on Jan 8, 2010 to cover the late fee and the payments due. I received a call from Barclay's harrasing me again stating a payment hasn't been recived and they have charged me another late charge and over the limit fee. I have proof from my bank, they made the payment on 01/08/10, called them to request a fax number so I could fax them proof of payment. They would not provide me with a fax number and wanted me to give them my checking account number insisting the wanted a payment of $56.00 on the spot. They will charge "only $15.00 fee for the transaction" These people are thieves and will not help at all. Their customer service is horrible. I wish I had known this before I got involved with them.

A bunch of disorganized theives that blatantly lie to governing agencies. They must have some pretty good lobbyists in place to get away with breaking all the laws they do.

In my case, the card number was compromised. I paid the uncontested balance in full and closed the account since they refused to issue a new card number. They closed the account, added interest on the fraudulent charges.

They refused certified mail containing police reports, FTC filings and a formal fraud affidavit report. They allowed additional fraudulent charges to go on the account ignoring the request to close it. They charges $60 a month in late fees/over limit fees. The original vendor who processed the fraudulent charges, credited the card. Barclay's refused to remove all fees and interest incurred. Four collection agencies all determined I don't owe them any money.

Barclay's is damaging my credit and I have no recourse. I offered to pay for delete and just pay an extortion fee to restore my credit.

Here's the kicker, Barclay's claims they can't accept payment or delete/correct the trade line (as their collections agents promised to do 2 years ago) because the account was sold to an unknown third party. They claim they won't accept any payments and that this unknown party has to request credit bureau corrections.

CROOKS! They need to be shipped back to England and out of this country with this kind of usury.

Barclays Bank Bad customer service

I warn you, do not get a credit card from this company! I have never been late on a payment, well, I was then 2 days late on a payment and they started to charge me late fees and then over the limit fees. I called them to get these reversed since I am never late. They would not do it! I have done this before with my Lowe's card, when I accidently missed the due date and paid a few days late (never 30 days late) and they reversed the fee with no problem. I have closed my account with Barclay's bank and paid it in full so they will get no more money from me.

I KNOW IS LOT OF READING, BUT I HOPE WILL BE HELPFULL IN CHOOSING YOUR BANK IN FUTURE!
Same problem had myself after 1 year and 5 months of SH"T BARCLAYS BUSINESS BANKING! they close my bank account without reason! (MY QUESTIONS WAS: WHY YOU DID NOT LET ME KNOW AT LEAST WITH 3 OR 4 DAYS BEFORE? AND THE ANSWER WAS: WE ARE YOUR BANK AND WE HAVE THE WRIGHT TO DO THIS WHEN WE WANT!) This is not a bank ! I hope will close their doors soon so people don;t waste their life with them anymore!
Since i held this account just issues i had and never been solved, everytime they cost me days after days of waiting and money lossing because of them ! Stay away from Barclays please and "don't make one big mistake step" like me! ..And here is the story OF ALL THE ISSUES I HAD WITH THIS BANK
I came in UK 2 years ago, after 2, 3 months i open a business as a sole trader, went to barclays to open this business account and this was the only fair and true thing
that they did for me, after that ..I moved with house meantime and wanted to change the address, after i call them they said that i have to meet my [B][I]business manager is the only person that can
help you with this[/I][/B] for this.. ok.. i managed to make an appointment and in the day i had to go there, a coleque of my business manager called me saying that my manager won't be in branch that day, but if i want to still go there and she will try to help me... i did not go knowing that just my business manager can help me (mention that i had to take day off from work, cause i was living 40 miles away from where i supossed to meet that business manager) I keep ring them after that to tell them my problem with the address, and they said this time that it can be done in any branch!.. went there.. fill up 1 form and i was told to wait, after 3 weeks nothing happen, went again there, had to fill same form again... and wait.. after another 1 month nothing happen! went in diffrent branch tell them all the story when they give me a phone number and let me use their landline from there in a waiting room, after speeking with that person on the phone, the address was changed finnaly.. but.. with a spelling mistake: instead of T they put P on the name of the road. i received all the mail anyway... (all i heared abiut all emplyes with issue every time: [B][I]"i am sorry, you was wrong informed"[/I][/B], but i waste lot of time because of this, and i could do nothing because the addres on my statement was different that the address of the place i was living, and hat to stay like this 3 months until this USELESS BANK manage to change my adress WRONG !) YOU WILL SAY
THAT IS NOT SUCH BIG ISSUE BECAUSE OF 1 LETTER IN THE NAME OF THE ROAD I WAS LIVING, BUT PLEASE READ UNTIL THE END, YOU WILL SEE. i tryed to change this business manager, because it was far away form me, but.. TO CHANGE THIS BUSINESS MANAGER AT BARCLAYS YOU HAVE TO MEE HIM BEFORE BECAUSE AGAIN IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HELP! BUT HOW? I CAN'T MEET HER NEVER!
i WANT TO CHANGE MY BUSINESS TRADING NAME, AND AGAIN SAME PROBLEM, I HAVE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY BUNSINESS MANAGER! THE PROBLEM I'M THINKING YOU KNOW WHAT IT
WAS AGAIN. AFTER 7-8 MONTHS I ASKED FOR A £500 OVERDRAFT AFTER I HAD PAYED IN THIS ACCOUNT IN THIS 8 MONTHS AROUND 20K -25K AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO HAVE AT LEAST 1 YEAR OF BANKING WITH THEM. WHEN I HAD 1 YEAR, I ASKED AGAIN FOR 1 OVERDRAFT OF SAME £500 AND I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE BEEN ON - MINUS ON MY ACCOUNT AND I ALWAYS HAVE TO BE WITH +. OK BUT WHY I WAS I MINUS? BECAUSE I HAD 2 SCAM COMAPNYES: QUICKCREDITSCORE.CO.UK AND REWARDSNOW.CO.UK THAT THEY WAS TAKING MONEY FORM MY ACCOUNT EVERYTIME I GOT PAID IN THERE, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO IT, AND FROM WHERE THEY KNOW WHEN I GET PAID? THERE WAS NO MONTHLY CHARGE, THE JUST TAKE EVEN 2 TIMES A MONTH EACH £17.99 FORM MY ACCOUNT. I ALWAYS WAS AFRAID TO KEEP MONEY THERE BEACUSE I IMAGINE THAT THEY COULD TAKE AS MUCH AS THEY WANT, AND EVERYTIME I GOT PAID I JUST CASH OUT EVERYTHING FROM THE ACCOUNT. AND YES, THEY WAS STILL ABLE TO TAKE MONEY EVEN WHEN MY BALLANCE WAS 0 IT BECAME -17.99! I CALL BARCLAYS 6 OR 7 TIMES AND PLEASE READ NOW:
FIRST TIME, THEUY SAID THE DID SOMETHING AND I WAS ASSURED THAT THIS WON;T HAPPEN.. OF COURSE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. I CALLED AGAIN SPOKE WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE THERE, AND
THEY SAID THAT THIS TIME THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED AND THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO TAKE MONEY FORM ME ANYMORE, AND IF IT HAPPENS I WILL GET REFOUND FROM BARCLAYS!. OF COURSE IT HAPPEN AGAIN! AND WHEN I CALL AGAIN THEY SAID THAT I WAS WRONG INFORMED AGAIN, AND THAT I WON'T GET ANY REFOUND (MY MAIN PROBLEM WAS TO STOP THEM TO TAKE
MONEY FORM ME CAUSE I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH THEY WILL TAKE) AND TO GET THE REFOUND THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO CONTACT MYSELF THIS COMPANY AND LET THEM KNOW
THAT I DON;T WANT TO BE CHARGED ANYMORE, BUT THEY DON;T PICK UP THE PHONEEEE, I EMAILED THEM AND THEY STILL TOOK THAT MONEY AGAIN .. I EVEN DID NOT CALL THE BANK
ANYMORE. ONE TIME I CAN;T REMEMBER WHY I HAD TO PHONE THEM, AND I HAD A BUSINESS CARD FORM A LADY, A BARCLAYS EMPLOYYE AND I HAD TO RING ON THAT NUMBER BECAUSE I DID NOT HAD OTHER NUMBER WITH ME THAT TIME AND THE ANSWER WAS: HELLO BARLCAYS, (I SAID SOMETHING MYSELF) AND THEN "[B]CALL OTHER NUMBER, HERE ONLY INDIAN"[/B] AND SHE HANG UP ! :?:LAST WEEK I WENT THERE TO OPEN A PERSONAL ACCOUNT, I THOUGHT IT WILL BE SIMPLE BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE THIS BUSINESS ACCOUNT WITH THEM. AFTER WAITING 1 HOUR THERE,
THE PERSON WHO OPEN THE DOOR (THE PORTER) APOLOGIES AND I HAD TO GO WITH HIM AND SIT AT 1 DESK, HE WAS TRYING TO OPEN MY BANK ACCOUT THAT I NEEDED AND HE WAS REALLY
INTERSED, AND MAKE A LOT OF CALLS TO HELP ME, BUT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE SPELLING MISTAKE THAT WAS ON MY ADDRESS, THE P INSEAD OF T LETTER! I SAID THEN THANK YOU, YOU WAS VERY KIND AND REALLY HE TRYED TO HELP, BUT I SAID I WILL CLOSE THIS BANK ACCOUNT AND I HELPMYSELF LIKE THIS. aFTER 2 DAYS THEY CLOSE MY BANK ACCOUNT FOR NO REASON, AND WITHOUT SAYING NOTHING TO ME BEFORE! I HAD 2 CHEQUES THERE OF MY CUSTOMERS WAITING TO BE CLEARED SO I CAN START DO THEIR JOB, ONE IS AN RESTAURANT THAT NEEDS TO OPEN IN 1 WEEK AND DON;T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW... THE MONEY ARE WITH BARCLAYS BECAUSE WERE TAKEN FROM HIS ACCOUNT, HE DOES NOT TRUST TO PAY ME AGAIN UNTIL HE DON;T RECEIVE BACK HIS MONEY IN HIS ACCOUNT, I WAS WORKING 3 DAYS UNTIL NOW FROM HIM AND CAN'T FINISH THE JOB IN TIME.
BARCLAYS COST ME MONEY THIS TIME AND I WILL KEEP POST THIS EVERYWHERE I CAN! I HAVE AROUND 10 WEBSITES ALL GOOD RANKING IN GOOGLE AND MY JOB IS ADVERTISING, AND
PRINTING.. I WON;T STOP HERE, THEY WASTE MY TIME AND MAKE ME LOOSE MONEY, I WILL MAKE THEM LOOSE MORE! IN FACT .. THEY DID IT WITH THEIR OWN HAND TO THEMSELFES.
AND ALL I EXPLAIN HERE IS MAYBE JUST 50% OF EVERYTHING THAT HAPPEN TO ME WITH THIS BARCLAYS BANK! AND THEY JUST DON;T CARE! THEY TAKE THEM COMMISSION AND THEY DON'T
GIVE A F..K! MAYBE IS HARD TO IMAGINE ALL THE BAD THAT THEY MADE TO ME .. BUT I JUST HOPE AND I WILL MAKE EVERYTHING I CAN AS MUCH PEOPLE I CAN I WILL LET KNOW ABOUT THIS, AND
MAYBE IN THE CLOSE FUTURE THEY WILL DO BANKING JUST FOR THEM. THANK YOU FOR READING, AND IF ANYONE CAN HELP SOMEHOW PLEASE LET ME KNOW. DON;T KNOW WHAT BANK IS BETTER BUT ALL I KNOW THAT WHEN I SEE BARCLAYS I WILL CROSS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF STREET AND ILL MAKE SURE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WILL DO LIKE ME! THANK YOU.

Hey, I live in Egremont, England and Barclays Bank have been harassing me for debt recovery for ages. They harass and torment me with telephone calls all the time. The problem is, for me, is that I don't have, and never have had an account with the useless idiots. That didn't stop them giving me personal details about the person they mistake me for. So take my advice, if you want to invest with a bank that betrays personal information about its clients to people who don't have any need to know the Barclays is the bank for you.

Barclays Bank Misrepresentation

i have sent out to Barclays bank several letters regarding a savings bond that i believe i was misinformed or mislead when this was opened, i have not received any confirmation or call from the bank regarding this matter

I was told on the phone that i would be able to access the money when needed, this is not the case, also three days before this, i was called by someone (a male) from Barclays at home saying it would be necessary for me to look at my accounts, when i asked him what he mente, he said "that's all i can say" this made me uneasy and as a consequence i contacted Barclays to look into my accounts, this is when the lady put forward the bond and i was told that if i put the money into a savings bond i would have access to the money if needed

I need to access the money as soon as possible, i have saved long and hard to have the money available to me when needed, i need my money desperately now

I was even thinking of opening a mortgage or a loan but was advised against this

I have on several occasions called the bank, logged a complaint, and even written two other letters to the bank regarding the money

I would like the money placing in the more for more account as i can access the money as i need it, and when i need it

I have explained on several occasions that i have some difficulties reading or understanding long letters, this is why i always like to see people face to face so that they can explain things if needed, i was told that i would have access to my money if my circumstances changed, my circumstance have changed and i need to access the money ASAP

i have had several sleepless nights, and feel that this is having a strain on my health for the worse

i feel that i have been a victim of a hard sell and let down by the people that i trusted the most

Barclays Bank Customer service

Due to post office drop box being robbbed my payment did not reach Barclay Bank by due date. Called to explain had been notified by another credit card company of late payment. They dropped late charge and increase in finance charge. Barclay representative was very rude, when I ask to speak to a supervisor was advised due to heavy call load I would have to leave phone number and time I could be reached within 24-48 hour time frame. I always pay my bills on time and usually in full. Unfortunately I am not the type customer they prefer to have. It is more advantageous for them to have slow pay to generate more income. I am paying my account in full and will send them my credit card with regards to where they can file it.

I have banked with Barclays for 17 years and am amazed my their entirely inflexible approach. My account is in the UK but I live abroad, when my debit card expired they failed to send me a new one, i called them and was redirected to their call centre in India. After 15 minutes of incomprehensible conversation and being left on hold they told me i would have to go to my branch (in the UK) to request a replacement card! I wrote to them explaining i do not live in the UK and asking them to replace my card, they replied that my signature does not match the one on their records and i should go to my branch to sign a sample (i do not remember EVER signing a sample signature!). I sent my mother to my branch with scanned copies of all correspondence and a power of attorney letter authorizing her to request a card, again their response was that i should visit my branch and the power of attorney would only be valid if i signed it in their presence- its a power of attorney- the whole point of it is i cannot be present! So i cannot access my money, nor can i close the account and Barclays only solution is to visit my branch- I cannot do this because i cannot pay the air ticket if i cannot access my money! I cannot be their only client living overseas, has noone told them we are now part of the EU?

I had spoke to a customer service representative named Sara on 1/21/2010. Sara was very rude, inconsiderate, and not a very good customer service rep. I was always on-time with my payments. I did not ever over-charge my account, but last year around October they decided to "jack" up my interest rate and send my a statement to requesting minimum payment then charged me a finance charge which then put me over the limit.
Then they would say now I'm over the limit so they would assess $39 over-the-limit fee on my next statement again with the minimum due. Again, Barclays assessed another finance charge for the over-the-limit fee of $39.

Barclays Bank Unnessecary late payment fee

Dear Sir,

This is with reference to my card number: [protected], payment of last statement received. I made a Cheque of Rs. 15252 and dropped the cheque on 4th November'09 in a dropbox location - Hpcl Petrol Pump Sector -10 Rohini, as I could not find a Barclay Bank location near by.

I received current month statement stating that I made the payment on 12 November and have to pay Late payment fee for the same of Rs. 1519. It is not our fault if the cheque gets picked up late from the drop box location so we would like to request you to revoke the charges or cancel the card as we are not ready to pay these unnessecary charges. We had had a word about the same with your customer relation officer but got no support from them. We hope for a favorable reply at the earliest.

Thank you,
Regards,

Suresh Agarwal
