Consumer Complaint: I have been a loyal XXXX Customer for many years. I have several devices. I actually have three phones on my cellular account including an XXXX XXXX. Three XXXX ( mine, my mother 's and granddaughter 's ) a XXXX, XXXX watch and XXXX. I have had a XXXX XXXX for several years with a 1 rating at all credit bureaus. However, I just recently, received a letter from XXXX, XXXX 's go to financing company. They informed me that they are reducing my credit line due to " Derogatory Public Record or Collection Filed or Proportion of Balances To Credit Limits Too High on Revolving Accts ''. I checked the reporting agency, which does not have any XXXX XXXX XXXX on my file. As a matter of fact, no company has at this time. Reducing my credit limit only serves to make matters worse. It will only make it appear that I am nearer to the credit line with XXXX. I would have rather the company decide to not extend any more credit than to create this issue. This practice should be examined and stopped. I have never been late on this account. I have actually paid several balances early. No loyal XXXX customer should be treated like this ...

Consumer Complaint: I do not use the card, I did not notice that there was an unauthorized charge in the amount XXXX on XX/XX/17. I did not pay the bill and then started getting emails and past due notices. When I realized, I contact them and they reversed the unauthorized charge yet continue to bill me for late charges and interest on a charge that they have reversed. I called them, they agreed but could not figure out how to transact it. They were combatative. This had impacted my credit and it is harassment.

Consumer Complaint: Barclay 's bank has on a continuous basis called me when I have requested them to send statements and they have not. They call before XXXX and when I make a payment over the phone, it does not get recorded and they call again the next day. I have on several occasions told them not to call me after XXXX which they continued to do. Also I am never late on payments but they don't record automated payments timely and then mark me late on my credit report. For example I called Barclatys on XX/XX/2018 to pay off my account and gave them full information on the automated line and got confirmation. Looked at my credit report today XX/XX/XXXX and they marked me late again so I called and made a full payment of {$1600.00} again and my confirmation number is XXXX. This has happened over and over again with Barclays and they continue to charge late fees, report me late on my credit but in fact there automated system has a flaw. I need my credit report updated to no late payments as I have continuously made payments and now my account is paid off..never want to deal with them again. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Consumer Complaint: Barclays closed my Arrival credit card account on XX/XX/2018. I maintain a credit score in excess of 760 and have paid all of my bills for over 20 years. Barclays claim they closed the account because of " Your history of account usage. '' What does this mean? I used the card to buy things and then I paid off the balance. At the time my account was closed, I had XXXX miles worth {$440.00}. Those miles were taken from the account. They easily cover the very small balance on the card.

Subissue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Consumer Complaint: The Barclay Card Arrival Mastercard advertises itself as a travel card. This is FLASE ADVERTISING SINCE THE CARD CAN NOT BE USED INTERNATIONALLY. I called Barclays to let them know that I was traveling internationally to XXXX. While I was traveling in XXXX they CONTINUOUSLY CUT OFF MY CREDIT CARD. I answered their call multiple times to tell them it was me using the card and they continued to cut it off repeatedly. I spoke with customer service and the agent told me I had done everything that I was supposed to but could not guarantee that the card would not be shut off again. They REFUSED to keep my card active while I traveled, even though I REPEATEDLY confirmed my transactions and told them I was traveling and it was me using the card. If the card can not be used internationally, they should not be able to advertise that it is can, so they dont leave customers stranded with no form of payment. Their lies put people in dangerous situations.

Consumer Complaint: Barclay Bank Card retained a law firm XXXX XXXX XXXX who brought action against me in a court with no jurisdiction from a city court we do not reside in. My husband was served papers by a process server who was dressed like law enforcement. When my husband told the server that what he was doing was illegal. The process server became argumentative & my husband told him to leave. The server sat in his car in my driveway for over 5 min on the phone. He then peeled out of my driveway striking & damaging my gate & drove off. This happened on XX/XX/XXXX. My husband filed a Police report with the NY State Police on XX/XX/XXXX. I have wrote & called numerous times to both parties & have been ignored! The process serving Co. Paid {$100.00} for the gate, but the cost is {$300.00} for repairs that we have demanded from both the law firm & Barclay Bank to pay the balance. Plus they have violated the FDCPA of using a process server simulating law enforcement, Sued out of court with no jurisdiction, and have failed to report the alleged debt as disputed with the credit Bureaus that I have disputed many times with both parties.

Consumer Complaint: I checked my credit and realized two accounts from Barclays Bank of Delaware are on my credit file. The accounts are as follows : 1. Barclays Bank of Delaware ... account number : XXXX ... balance : {$12000.00} date opened : XX/XX/XXXX ... 2. Barclays Bank of Delaware ... account number : XXXX ... balance : {$11000.00} ... date opened : XX/XX/XXXX. I have disputed these accounts with the company, but they refuse to remove the accounts from my credit files. I want them removed. These accounts are not mine, I have never applied for these cards, I do not want these cards, they are fraud and the company is committing a fraud by not removing them from my credit file. I have attached the police report and copies of my credit files so you can see that they are still on my credit files. Barclays Bank of Delaware please remove the offending accounts from my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX credit files asap.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Consumer Complaint: On the evening of XX/XX/XXXX, I went out for the evening to see friends at a local club, XXXX XXXX. This is an establishment I did frequent often and do not deny that in any way as I had friends who worked there and stopped up to see them from time to time. On the evening of XX/XX/XXXX I did give my XXXX card to the staff to hold for a tab, as they stated my other card, XXXX XXXX Card on file was not going through which I though was insane however not uncommon as for security reasons cards do this from time to time. I can honestly declare that this card was not in my possession at all once I handed it to the bar staff. I had no knowledge of the charges that were being attempted and made on this account. At one point I received a phone call from XXXX asking if I had authorized a XXXX charge which I stated I did not and stated that. When I inquired about this to the staff I was told this was a huge mistake and would be corrected. The next morning I was literally shocked to find out that XXXX XXXX attempted to charge my two card for almost 95K in charges in 3 hours. You have the doc on file showing a breakdown of these charges that the bar was trying to charge both your company and my XXXX over this timeframe. They actually tried to charge both cards for the same fraudulent amounts numerous times. I mean who even could think that these were valid charges, charging two cards for the same amounts within 2 mins of each other? ( The breakdown of all charges attempted/made that evening shows a picture of what I am referring to ). I received ZERO receipts for any of these charges and the signatures on these receipts are nowhere close to my own. When I found out of these charges I immediately went to XXXX XXXX and demanded proof via receipts and camera footage. They did not have receipts on file even though it was less than 36 hours after the incident. In fact, the receipts I provided to your company took me almost 1 full month to acquire. Every day I was told a different story on why the receipts were not available. I repeat, I NEVER had a receipt in hand for any of these charges. When I finally received these receipts I was relieve as I noticed the signatures were nowhere close to my own and that this obvious fraud would be reversed. I did not receive goods or services for these charges the massive amounts of uncharacteristic charges were for bar staff tips. I mean come on, one charge was for {$9800.00} as a tip for bottled water?!?!? This is so far beyond even being believable by anyone yet it is has been a nightmare to get anyone to listen since, your card is chipped and wasnt reported as stolen per the mail correspondence I received. XXXX was stolen from me in 4 hours time, XXXX through XXXX and XXXX through my XXXXXXXX XXXX by people who did not think I would miss that money or do anything about it. Thank XXXX I reached my limit on my card as they attempted to charge XXXX ( Docs to you also show this amount ). This is probably the best proof I have outside of the fraudulent signatures and fact that the video recordings are non-existent now. If I truly authorized those charges and XXXX of the XXXX was declined, why didnt this establishment kick me out and try to come after the money from both credit card companies and me?!? Please re-open this investigation. I did not authorize nor spend these funds. I did not have my card in my possession and was denied even getting receipt proof for almost 1 month. I have filed police reports and have attorneys working on this matter however I am asking you to do the right thing and reverse these funds that have stolen from me. Here is a complete breakdown of charges and time per credit card companies. The charges with the asterisks were attempted and thank XXXX declined by both companies. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ) $ XXXX- XXXX $ XXXX- XXXX * $ XXXX XXXX ** ( declined ) * $ XXXX XXXX ** ( declined ) Total- {$41000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX ) $ XXXXXXXX XXXX $ XXXX- XXXX $ XXXX XXXX $ XXXX- XXXX $ XXXX- XXXX ** $ XXXXXXXX- XXXX ( declined so they charged the other card 3 mins later ) ** $ XXXX XXXX ( declined so they attempted on other card ) $ XXXX- XXXX $ XXXX- XXXX Total- {$52000.00} To be fully clear, I did not authorize ANY of the charges over {$840.00}. The {$840.00} and smaller were valid, ALL charges over that were not valid and charged as tips/non merchandise. No receipts were provided upon demand for almost 1 full month. The signatures were completely forged and nowhere near my own. When large charges were declined, the merchant tried to use another card they had at a bar tab for these charges as you can see from the timeline above. When that did not work they just charged for smaller amounts that were not being flagged by the credit card companies. My credit has now dropped 90points due to both cards being maxed out. We have lost the fraud dispute with both companies who cited since my card is a chipped card and not reported stolen I would be responsible for these charges. Please contact me at any time for further details

Issue: Problem when making payments
Subissue: Problem during payment process
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX i made a payment of {$2700.00} to my Barclay master card which was the balance due at the time ... on XX/XX/XXXX the funds were deducted from my bank account and i received an email from Barclay stating my payment have been received. On today XX/XX/XXXX i checked my account online to find out the payment has not been credited to my account and that there was a hold on my payment. I called the customer service # and the automotive system acknowledged the payment but also reflect that the available credit does not reflect that payment being applied. I spoke to rep XXXX ( said couldn't give last name ) but his employee ID # is XXXX advised me that there was a hold on my payment and said it wouldn't be lifted until XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. I asked XXXX the reason for the payment hold his response was because it was an unusual amount and it was also based on the method of payment and my bank is the one that issued the hold. I asked XXXX why would my bank issue a hold when they have already released the funds and never contacted me to confirm the transaction. I offered to fax over my bank statement showing the funds have actually cleared ( not pending ). He stated it would still not be resolved until XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. I pay the same way every using the same account so it shouldn't have been an issue with my bank. I then questioned the response he made about the method that was used i advised him that Barclay uses ACH so they wouldn't have gotten the money if the funds weren't available. He then responded that the hold would not be released until XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXXand if that was ok ( he was trying to get me off the phone at that point ) I told him no and asked would this have been a problem if i wouldn't have paid off the statement and why was it a problem for me to pay what was owed. He then stated he would try to see if he could have the hold removed now and placed me on hold. Once he came back to the line he stated he was able to have the hold removed and i will see the credit on my account by XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX est.
