Issue: Struggling to pay your bill
Subissue: Problem lowering your monthly payments
Consumer Complaint: Call BarclayCard seek a hardship program, the option that they offer me did not help reduce my debt. In fact, they could not tell me how much my debt would be after I enter the program. I spoke with an agent, then the supervisor ( XXXX ) she could not either tell me the ending balance after the 12-month program. The program would closed the account and give me a reduced interest rate of 5.90 % for 12 month, after that the interest would go up again. XXXX offer me a program that closed the account and split the current balance in 60 monthly payment, no interest. This much more helpful, and defiantly help me avoid a bankruptcy. Barclays Card deceptive and misleading practices should be regulated, companies like that should not be allowed to take advantage of the public. Thank you. They deliberately were putting me on hold, i spent more than 30min on hold.

Subissue: Collected or attempted to collect exempt funds
Consumer Complaint: They were harassing me in a very inappropriate way and disclosed the info to a 3rd party without my consent. Lastly, they put a freeze on my account even after advising them that I don't owe the debt. I also advised them that I have a financial hardship and that the funds are exempted even if I would've owned it. They were already promising me to release the hold but didn't fulfill its promise. Obviously, they were misleading me to avoid that I request an order to show cause to remove the default judgment.

Consumer Complaint: I have owned the card for several years and they always tell me that at this time they are not offering lower interest rates. this is not acceptable. I am having financial difficulty and need to pay off this card. It would greatly help to have the interest fee lowered and they will not budge. They have stated the policy has changed and also they did not offer any incentives for me to pay off the card faster. please help.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

Consumer Complaint: Barclays Bank issued the XXXX XXXX Credit Card, which includes a benefit for up to a {$50.00} statement credit for online subscription services after spending {$5000.00} or more on the card per cardmember year. My cardmember year starts on XX/XX/XXXX and end on XX/XX/XXXX, the next year. I've spent more than {$5000.00} during the XXXX cardmember year, with {$44.00} in approved subscription services XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. As of XX/XX/2019, 45 business days after the end of the calendar year, XXXX has only issued {$14.00} as a statement credit for those subscription services. They are missing {$30.00}. I have tried resolving this issue directly with XXXX four times, one via phone and three times via secure online messaging. They have not agreed to issue any statement credits.

Issue: Problem when making payments
Subissue: Problem during payment process
Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2019, I made a payment from our checking acct in the amount of {$4000.00} through XXXX XXXX XXXX bill pay to XXXX Master card, Barclay Bank and the following day I realized that payment was suppose to go to XXXX XXXX XXXX Visa. So I called XXXX and asked them to intercept this payment but was told that they couldn't. So I called Barclay bank and asked to return my $ but at that time the payment hadn't processed yet so they couldn't do anything. The following day, I called again and asked to have that money returned to my XXXX account electronically but was told they don't do that but they would return the funds by check and it would take 7-10 days. We were going away so I assumed the check would be in our mail upon our arrival him. XX/XX/XXXX, no check. On XXXX, I called Barclay Bank and asked where my check was and was told it was sent back to bill pay processing company. ( Payment Processing, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Ill. XXXX ). A case was created XXXX and an investigation began & I would hear back in once again 7-10 days. I then called XXXX and they conference called Barclay XX/XX/XXXX with me and requested they transfer those funds and again was told they don't do that. XXXX requested batch # of that refund check to XXXX XXXX & Barclay requested proof from XXXX that payment was withdrawn from our account and not returned to that account. XXXX faxed info & on next conference cal XXXX requested transaction # for round check, Barclay-no transaction #, how about a batch #. Barclay was to fax the batch # to XXXX within 48 hrs. Next conference call On XX/XX/XXXX I requested a supervisor from Barclay & she gave XXXX a transaction # of XXXX & they once again were to fax a copy of returned check to XXXX and I requested a copy mailed to me, that would take 15 business days. As of XXXX I still have no answers let alone my funds. I emailed a complaint to Delaware banking commission and am still awaiting a reply. XX/XX/XXXX after a call to XXXX, was told they're still investigating it. XXXX case # XXXX. I expect my funds returned and as I've expressed to both banks that if I'd been late all this time in paying my fees & interest on that amount of money would be astronomical.

Subissue: Problem with customer service
Consumer Complaint: I recently filed a dispute against XXXX with Barclay Arrival Mastercard for {$94.00} on a transaction that totaled {$310.00}. I provided the agent with the two transactions ( {$48.00} from XXXX and {$46.00} from XXXX ) where I received counterfeit merchandise not as described. The rest of the merchandise from that order was received as describedm or the merchant already credited me for the other items which were not. I then received a letter in the mail notifying me of the {$310.00} dispute filed on my behalf. I filed no such dispute. Barclay now intends to make me a thief by failing to file my dispute for {$94.00} and instead attempting to defraud the merchant an additional {$210.00}, making me an accomplice. I contacted customer service where I waited 31 minutes for an agent. This seems pretty standard at Barclay where I wait 30-45 minutes before being connected to a live person. UNLIKE modern banks, when I am on hold with Barclay I have no indicator of how long I will be on hold, how many people are waiting in front of me, nor do I have the option to request a callback to hold my place in line without sitting on hold. Instead I get a recording telling me how sorry they are as a bank for their inadequacy and untimeliness in how they deal with customers. I then spoke to XXXX in disputes who informed me she lacks the intellectual know-how to file a dispute for a partial amount of the payment ( something every other bank I do business with has had zero problems doing in the past ). When I asked for a manager/supervisor she put me on hold for several more minutes and then told me none were available and requested my number for a call back. I told her I would wait and she refused to allow me this option. She refused to connect me to a manager or allow me to wait for one and insisted I opt for a callback. The problem with this is that any time I have provided my number for a callback in the past to Barclay, no one from their company ever contacts me. Instead I am forced to call them back, wait another 30-45 minutes on hold to be given the run-around by another incompetent member of their lack of customer service team. Prior to this event I had filed a chargeback against XXXX for about {$530.00}, and yet Barclay sought {$1700.00} from them ( another fraudulent chargeback attempt committed by Barclay ). Then when XXXX sent a response which did not prove via any third-party documentation that they ever delivered me what I paid for, it took Barclay over 21 days to send me these documents via mail and they refused to use tracking numbers to know when the item was delivered. I immediately sent in my response with full, un-disputable evidence from XXXX 's own reporting software, that XXXX had stolen funds from me, and Barclay bank refused to do a thing about it. I wasnt able to upload my documents online ( a function EVERY other bank offers ), nor was I able to email them to a dispute specialist ( something that had been offered to me in the past, but this time their employees refused ) and instead I was forced to fax them or mail them to Barclay. I chose mail to keep image quality legible and had proof that the response was received by Barclay company only 3 days after I received your packet for XXXX response. Despite getting my documents submitted on time, Barclay allowed XXXX to steal funds from me and did nothing to remedy the problem. Twice now Barclay has filed fraudulent disputes in my name totaling amounts I never asked for. They have failed to provide me modern means of customer service or the ability to respond to said disputes via online form submissions. They have failed to protect me as a consumer, have allowed merchants like XXXX to steal funds from me, and in doing so are an accomplice in the crime of grand theft ( a felony ). It's time someone from the government does a formal review of this bank.
