In January of 2023, I purchased 2 tickets for JetBlue flights on my JetBlue Plus Mastercard. I was double charged for these tickets. I have not been able to obtain a refund from Barclays or JetBlue for this double charge since that time. I have attached screenshots of the double charge, my attempts to reach out. I also filed a dispute with Barclays which they denied saying it was past their window for dispute but as you can see I informed them of the issue immediately in January of 2023 when it first occurred.Initial Complaint

Thank you for your efforts regarding my billing dispute with POIZON (the merchant) and subsequently, Barclays (my credit card issuer) in the amount of $159.83 purchased on 5.27.24. A provisional credit was issued to my credit card account on 7.10.24 while my claim was presented to the merchant’s bank. I was certain this would be the final resolution. However, I received notification Barclay's was unable to pursue further because "merchant has not violated terms and conditions of sales agreement.” As proof of non-violation, merchant provided a photograph of the sole of a shoe in mint condition. I don’t dispute condition of the sole. I sent Barclay's additional supporting documentation/photographs to reassert my claim by certified mail. The inside lining of one of the shoes rubbed off on my socks after 4 – 5 hours of wear. These were supposedly authentic re-issues of Vans Sk8-Hi Side Zipper Shoes. I wish they were authentic & the lining didn’t rub off. I really wanted these shoes. I own dozens of pairs of Vans Sk-8 Hi shoes and, because of a drop foot, can only wear boots or high-top shoes. I contacted the merchant about the problem by phone in mid- June & was issued a return label on 6.18.24. Upon their “inspection”, they returned them to me and said there was no issue with my shoes. That they presented as proof of no issue a photo of the mint condition sole is flat-out deceptive. I submitted photos of damage to Barclay's. I’ve worn Vans for decades & never encountered this problem. POIZON claims to sell authenticated and anti-counterfeit items using a multi-step verification process. They failed on this one. It’s baffling they won’t own their mistake & make this right. And sending Barclay's a photo of only the sole of the shoe wasn't just deceptive, it’s a lie. Also worth noting, it could've been the sole of any Vans shoe. Barclay's is siding with the merchant rather than with me, a loyal customer who's been wronged by the merchant, with verifiable proof.Business Response

On 2024-07-22 we had to ask the merchant (home inspector) to leave a property as the contract was cancelled. On 2024-07-22 the merchant stated they would cancel the inspection and issue a refund. As they did not I opened a dispute. Barclays initially sent me digital letters. Then, out of nowhere, the charge reappeared and much later did I receive a letter marked 2024-08-14 that was postmarked 2024-08-17 on 2024-08-20. I had called and the dispute department lady told me that I should mail in or fax my evidence for a rebuttal. I did. She neglected to tell me that my rebuttal had to be signed. That was included in the letter. The letter states 10 days (whether those business or calendar days is unclear). So I sent it in again. With a signed rebuttal letter and also credit card statement. Because Barclay's physical letter was ambiguous on this. My complaints are the following 1: Barclays never asked for my evidence on the first dispute, 2) Barclays, in 2024, relies on mail and fax (clearly designed to the detriment of card holders as merchants are clearly permitted to submit digital documentation), 3) Barclays failed to verbally inform me of the wet ink requirement for a rebuttal, 4) Barclays only sent the denial physically and not digitally. However, previously they had sent digital letters so they are perfectly capable of this. The presidents office reached out after a CFPB complaint. However, since they have gone completely quiet. Obviously because there is no reasonable explanation for this absurdity.Business Response

My June cc statement, stated my balance was 614.80. May, 20, I paid $246,40, June 17 I paid $450.00 and June 24 paid $300 and finally July 18 I paid 314.80 to the collection agency. I have incurred fees and interest and have been sent to collections for non-payment (destroying my credit). As you can see, I've consistently made payments and yet NONE of them were applied to my account. However, all payments have been cashed. To date, I have paid more than double the original amount. I attempted to resolve the situation with both Barclays and Capital Mgmt (the collection agency). I rec'd 3 form letters from Barclays saying my "payment inquiry has been resolved" no it has not. I have not received my over payment money back and I want to be removed from collections.Business Response

The issue is that I've been rejected twice for the jetblue plus card and i have a high credit score and clean history. The bank claims that they cannot reconsider my credit card applications based on bank policy( i have several new accounts in the last 24 months). I asked how long do i have to wait and they cant give me an answer. So i have no idea on how long i have to wait to get qualified. This is vague info and this feels discriminatory. I know people who have opened more accounts than me and their applications were accepted.Business Response

I closed my Banana Republic Barclays credit card in January 2024 and have confirmation the card is closed. On June 27, 2024, a charge was permitted by Barclays in the amount of $21.21 by the Baltimore Sun. I did not authorize this charge and the account was closed several months previous to this charge. I contacted Barclays Customer Service through their online messaging service and was then directed to call Customer Service. I contacted customer service and spoke with four different representatives over a total of nearly two hours on 08/01/2024 and the last representative assured me the charges would be removed. As of today, 8/7/2024, the $21.21 charge remains, a late payment fee of $21.21 was charged on 8/1/24 and a minimum charge amount of $2.00 was added on 08/04/24. I sent a message via the online message center to Barclays on 08/07/24 and was again directed to contact the Customer Service line. I am requesting assistance and advocacy with Barclays to remove all charges on this closed credit card account and to assure that there will be no future charges on this account.Business Response

I never activated BARCLAYS Frontier MasterCard. I got confirmation from Frontier Airlines that I should NOT have a balance. I do NOT owe any money to Frontier. I spoke with BARCLAYS over the phone almost a month ago. They confirmed they would close my account, which was NEVER activated in the first place. BARCLAYS Confirmed over the phone I do NOT owe them any money. BARCLAYS refused to send me something in writing when I asked over the phone confirming the fact that I do NOT owe them any money and that my account has been closed. I am supposed to call them and keep hounding them to correct this issue! I keep receiving emails and mail saying the below: Our records show that payments on your FRONTIER Airlines World Mastercard® account are 2 months overdue. By making payments now, you can prevent possible additional late payment fees. This is such a horrible business and the whole reason why I didn’t activate my account is because there is NO human ever available to help with anything regarding any FrOntier matter. What if something happens to me while I travel that only Frontier can help with? BARCLAYS and Frontier are NOT reputable companies. Maybe for a last minute emergency when there is no other option.Business Response

I took out a 3k balance transfer for a friend in June 2023 that expired May 2024. I had made several payments and purchases during that time. In February 2024, my friend paid $3500 to my account from HER bank account (never used before) to pay off her balance transfer. From February to May alone, I made over 8k in payments to my card. June 2024, I receive TWO interest charges (30%) on my statement; one for purchases and the other for the balance transfer. However, that made no sense because I have made more than enough payments to cover that. When I called jetblue they referred me to the crediting agency, Barclays. They informed me that any payment made would go straight to the purchases with a higher interest regardless of the expiration date of the balance transfer. THERE IS NO WAY for the customer to allocate a payment towards the balance transfer and barclays does not allocate any payments towards the balance transfer even if it expires. This means, NO other balance can be had on your card if there is a balance transfer. I have approx 20k limit on that card, and use it frequently and make frequent payments. it is not realistic to not use the card at all. When I spoke to a manager and asked if that means even if I made a purchase last week and made a payment, it would go to that transaction not the 0% interest, she confirmed YES. How can the transfer ever be paid!? In the last 45 days I have made purchased THREE flights, (708, 708, 562) and my current balance is 2k. When I look at the June statement, it says balance transfer purchases balance is 1021 and regular purchases 1009, but that is incorrect! No payments before April of 2024 were applied to the balance transfer AND NO NOTICE WAS PROVIDED TO ME. This is EXTREMELY predatory and puts consumers at risk. Barclays should absolutely be able to allocate payments or allow consumers to do so to avoid additional interest or penalties at such a high rate. I was told my only solution is pay off the entire cardBusiness Response
