Hi, On 10/3/23, I contacted Barclays about a balance transfer request I submitted that had not posted to the account (an AMEX account) from which I wanted the balance to transfer despite it showing up in my Barclays account. The account number was not input correctly on the balance transfer request form, and I was told the balance transfer would not be going through and to contact AMEX. I contacted AMEX, they confirmed that they had no accounts that began with the sequence of numbers I input on the balance transfer form, that they would not be cashing the check, and that it would be destroyed. I contacted Barclays regarding this and to just cancel the transfer request. They confirmed that the check had not been cashed, and that they would resolve it by the next billing cycle. I have followed up numerous times with Barclays with no satisfactory resolution. It is now the next billing cycle, the balance transfer is still posted to my barclays account despite it not posting to my amex account, my credit score has been downgraded by a significant amount, and I have spent hours on the phone with them about this issue with no one able to inform me when or how it is going to be resolved. Now, my credit score is being negatively affected due to it looking like I am utilizing an outsized share of my credit for months because Barclays has not removed the amount in question from my account. I would like this matter to be resolved, for the $3196.84 to be removed from my Barclays account, I would like a refund of the balance transfer fees, and I would like my credit score to be adjusted. Thank you,Business Response

On 8.25.23 I noticed 2 charges on my America Airline Barclays credit card. Both charges are for the I Market in the amounts of $131.13 and $182.62. I called immediately and told them I am in possession of my cc, it’s not lost or stolen but I have 2 charges that are not mine. The immediately said they would place a fraud claim and report my card stolen to reissues me a new card with a new number. They also said they would apply provisional credit. Today I got a letter that the activity is valid upon their investigation as I failed to maintain security of the card. This is total nonsense. I’ve had the card it’s never been out of my possession. This is a bank that is cheating clients out of money on charges they did not make and creating bogus reasons. I attempted to call and got disconnected multiple times. When I finally got thru customer service said the fraud department is not open on weekends. I am very annoyed that I have to spend time doing all the right things to protect myself and report erroneous charges. I’d like resolution to this investigation and these fraudulent charges removed from my account permanently. Additionally when placing the claim the rep mentioned where the charges were made and I can’t recall the location but told them I had never been in that area in my entire life.Business Response

I had unauthorized activity on my account in September. Barclays notified me, I spoke with a representative, and they were able to open a case, and issue provisional credit (which turned to final credit - see below). I followed up with supporting documenation, and was prompt in my reponses to Barclays Fraud Department. I was told on numerous occasions via chat, messaging, formal mail, and telephone (would request to have records pulled since recorded) that the open fraudulent activity cases were closed. I woke up two months later on November 10th to see my balance extremely high and noticed that a few of the transactions. I have supplied supporting documentation, spoke with Barclays numerous times and each time assured me that the case was closed and my account/credits were final/permanent. When I called on 11/10, a representative Rose told me they would re-open the case for another review which could take up to 30 days! This was already closed and my account balance was $0.00. I would like to speak with a supervisor,. have this cased formally closed (again!) and my account re-credited.Business Response

I noticed I had late payments from BRCLYSBANKDE on my credit report. During these months I did not receive anything stating I was late. As you can see, majority of my payments have been on time so I am requesting the removal of these late payments from my account. I am trying to increase my score to purchase a home and would greatly appreciate if you guys can submit a request to the credit reporting agencies to remove the late payments.Business Response

I applied for the JetBlue card back in march of 2023. I used the card several times to meet the requirements for their promotion. I attempted to use to the balance transfer which seems to have triggered there fraud department, this triggered a lock to my account. I attempted to resolve it several times but my first two submissions of the documents requested were unreadable or unacceptable via fax. Their process for reviewing documents is 10 business days. it wasn't until I made copies and mailed them that they were finally able to unlock my account. During this period I requested to make a payment several times but was unable to because my account was locked even with a customer service representative my account was unable to be reviewed. I asked several representatives to please note my account because I didn't want to have a late payment on my credit and they assured me that this would be documented. After everything was resolved I again requested for the late fees to be waived which they were and for them not to negatively impact my score since I was unable to make a payment. A supervisor suggested I send a letter to their credit department. My claim was denied stating that the information was correct. I was left with no choice in the matter and this was not my fault that I was unable to make a payment, I was also lied to because they assured me they would take care of thisBusiness Response

I paid my credit card off through my BECU checking account. The payment was for $1488.92. The payment shows being debited from my BECU account on 10/06/2023. The payment verification number from my bank is VFDV4-3Z19Z. I had my husband call and give the credit card information but they ignored my husband.

I did not open this account. I met with salespeople at Wyndham Vacation Resorts. The employees of Wyndham opened this account without my knowledge and then proceeded to charge $13,765.37 to it. This was not the only fraud that they perpetrated that day because they also opened an account with Comenity Bank and charged $8,400 to it. I filed a dispute with Barclay advising them I did not open the account. I was not aware it was being charged and I wanted a refund. I also advised them that the employees did not let me read the contract and made me sign it electronically using a “sign all” feature. I found out about this account when I received a credit card in the mail and was shocked that it had been charged. I demanded a copy of the application they received on my behalf. They did not provide it, even though I am entitled to demand AND receive a copy of this. They refused to address the fraud that occurred in how this account was opened and charged WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. The response they sent to my dispute simply said no refund would be issued because the merchant (Wyndham) did not receive a letter of cancellation during the cancellation period. I did try to cancel during the cancellation window, by scheduling an appointment with the Wyndham staff. They cancelled the appointment 7 times and denied me my right to cancel. AT that time, I did not know this account existed.Business Response

Better Business Bureau: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to my complaint and have determined that this does not resolve my issue. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed'Barclay did send me a copy of the application that they received on my behalf from the staff at Wyndham. The acknowledgment form does not contain my signature, it has a straight line across it where the signature should appear. Also, the income listed on the application they received is 3.5 times my actual annual income. The sales people at Wyndham grossly inflated my income. However, Barclay should have had a procedure in place to verify the accuracy of the information they received instead of arbitrarily accepting it and granting a high credit line without verification prior to the approval. Had they followed the proper procedure, this account would have never been opened with such a high credit line, nor would they have allowed Wyndham to max it out with the one and only transaction.

Never was liable for this account with Barclay, I do not have a contract with Barclay, and Barclay has never provided me with an original contract as requested. They have sent statements which is not an original contract. Back in July Transunion removed the amount which show inaccuracy within their own systems to this account when asked to delete this item Barclay sent a letter reported as accurate which is false because they have not produced an original contract.Business Response

So, on Oct 20th I received a email from Barclay (outside of the word Barclay you would not know who it was from) that links you to an external website where you are asked to put your email and it also ask for password which i do not have one Nore have I received instructions with a password. Based on the letter I attached shows that Barclay has been saying they have investigated my account at least since 12/23/2022 with no actual proof. So, I ask that Barclay delete account from my consumer report immediately So, have been given the investigation response to long.

I have a credit card with BarclaycardUS.com with a Carnival World Mastercard. I notified them of 3 fraudulent charges that were made on my credit card by DD DOORDASH ITSJUSTWI and DOORDASH DASHPASS. The transaction dates were 7/22/2023 for $17.35, another on 7/22/2023 for $1.62 and the third on 7/23/2023 for $9.99 for a total of $28.96. I notified them immediately when I saw the charges while checking my account online. They said they would (and did) issue a credit as fraudulent charges, then 2 months later put the charges back on my card saying they had done an investigation and that the charges were valid since I had made one purchase from DoorDash on July 15th for $12.82. The transaction on July 15 was the only purchase I have ever made with DoorDash. Their "investigation" didn't include any proof that I had made the following 3 purchases. I contacted them and asked if their investigation could provide me with the phone number these orders were placed from and what address they were delivered to which would provide proof that they weren't made by me and their answer was their investigation didn't cover that. This proves they didn't do an investigation. Also on their website they show "$0 Fraud Liability protection." "With our fraud liability coverage, you aren't responsible for unauthorized purchases made with your card that you report to us. It doesn't matter if your card is lost, stolen or breached, online or offline, you're protected." "Shop with confidence etc." I reported these fraudulent purchases immediately. The only conclusions that can be reached from their response are 1. they didn't do an investigation 2. the company is complicit in this fraud or 3. one or some of their employees are complicit. They probably figured the average person wouldn't notice a few extra charges for not a lot of money.Business Response
