Issue: Trouble using your card
Subissue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Consumer Complaint: I recently got my credit card limit decreased by XXXX from XXXX to XXXX. I received a letter XX/XX/2019 with an explanation that is due to the length of time revolving accounts have been established. I have called customer service XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX & XXXX in hope that I will be treated fairly and have my limit restored, however after answering personal questions as to why I used the card and why my debt is high, I was denied of my request. I have been a customer for 5 years and it seems like XXXX does not care about that. At all the times I called, there was no negotiating and the scrips reps were reading from were very good in reversing the blame onto the customer. I was told that my limit can be restored but when I pay off most of my debt, so, for now, they have lowered the limit to where I am maxed out on XXXX and therefore my monthly payments will be much higher. I am disappointed in how I was treated and how XXXX does not fulfill their promise - " ensure that all customers are treated fairly, effectively and promptly. ''

Consumer Complaint: I applied for and received a Barclays Bank issued XXXX Mastercard on XX/XX/XXXX. Upon approval, I was immediately handed a Credit Card Cardmember Account Summary Initial Disclosure with my name, address, Authorized Initial Purchase Amount and Interest Rate clearly defined as 16.99 % with a 0 % on XXXX purchases for the 1st 6 billing cycles. After that APR would be 16.99 % and would vary with the market based on Prime Rate. This agreement was printed off the Barclaycardus.com/apply/Application.action with time stamp of XXXX XXXX. When the agreement with full Terms and Conditions arrived with my XXXX Mastercard, APR was 6 % higher then the interest rate on the Initial Disclosure and now my 1st monthly statement has interest rate listed at 22.24 %. I have written and faxed all paperwork to Barclays requesting an explanation on the change in interest rate as well as requesting APR returned to the original 16.99 % as stated in Initial Disclosure. On XX/XX/XXXX, Barlcays responded with a letter stating they were currently unable to complete my request. No explanation as to why.

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I attended a seminar that I was reach out to in reference to cancelling TIMESHARE that we no longer want. We attended and joined XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) to cancel our memberships with my timeshares. This company stated that they have 365 days to complete this. As the year was passing by I sent them many e-mails because I was not seeing any results and was still getting e-mails and phone calls from the properties. I even contacted the Attorney General and they also were not able to contact this company. I Filed a disbute after the year was up, XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX ending # XXXX CASE # XXXX along with my attorney that was helping me with this case. His name is XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX and was on all the calls with me when we started to dispute. It took a while for them to get my paperwork and still had to resend all my info again. I filled the original disbute on XX/XX/XXXX and several phone calls later. XX/XX/XXXX they finally opened my case and said they would have it resolved within 45 days.They finally send me a decision on XX/XX/XXXX and state that Due to the length of time from which I filled and the original purchase date I was past there complaint time to file. So we had to fight it again, On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter that I don't agree and had to open the case again. XX/XX/XXXX and had to resent all my info again because they had to reopen my case as to they. This has been way over the time frame 45 days they gave me as to when this would be resolved, I get a phone call in XX/XX/XXXX and they tell me they can not refund me the {$4000.00} because I would need an attorney to handle this for me because I signed a CONTRACT with XXXX XXXX. My attorney clearly said that was not necessary and we called them again and we did and they still had no answers for us. ( I have been trying to reach my attorney and now he is not responding to me, Another Issue ) The cc company was suppose to get back to us with a response and never did.

Consumer Complaint: Barclay Card has attempted withdraw funds in recurring payment from the wrong bank account several times over the past 2 months ( XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) where the reoccurring payment was set up for a different bank account on their system. Barclay is now trying to levy a late payment / insufficient funds fee due to an error on their end. I have tried to contact Barclay through their secure message centre and by phone about the matter but they refuse to acknowledge the problem exists even though I can log into their website and see the configuration myself.

Consumer Complaint: At first Barclay Bank would call and we had a payment plan set up for {$20.00} a month in XXXX because I was going through a rough patch and the representative said they could help soothe the damage it may do if I didn't pay anything at all. While I was still paying on the payment plan they sent the debt to numerous debt collectors, who proceeded to harass me over the funds owed to original bank at an even higher amount. About a year later, XXXX, Barclay bank filed a lawsuit which I was not given any notice of to dispute, just a date for court, which resulted in my income taxes being garnished for over a thousand dollars. Directly after the withholding of my taxes, I reached out to the company and was insured that the dispute was settled. But now I am still being harassed by debt collectors on behalf of Barclay Bank for the full amount of the original debt.
