Poor customer service on joining
Applied and passed process for obtaining a barclaycard Have an excellent credit rating but as I m self employed in order to extend my credit limit beyond 200 was asked to provide bank statements and HMRC tax documents Emails documentation were unclear and not user friendly but all required documentation was provided by form upload These were rejected multiple times with no reason provided and there was no way to communicate directly with the actual team checking the documentation Furthermore I never received the actual credit card in the post Customer services I spoke to about the issues were very unhelpful and did t care so I decided to take my business elsewhere

Thank goodness for Natwest hols in
Lost my cards and wallet on hols in Spain rang up barclaycard was cut off by the first customer service agent then ringing back the agent said she wouldn t under any circumstances cancel my wife s card because all my cash has also gone What did she do Canceled them both That was on 28th Feb now on 7th March and still haven t got replacement cards Luckily I had account cards and accounts with Natwest they were excellent helped us out with the cash situation and cards waiting for us when we got home I can see why Barclaycard only ever get one or two stars they are useless

Took out the platinum Visa card 2minths
Took out the platinum Visa card 2minths ago just activated 2 weeks ago I used it 2 days ago went to pay the amount today facial recognition not working asked for my pin was denied Followed the trouble shooting reset app and what a joke Fisher price could make a better app called customer services first time because I used a colourful metaphor to describe the app the agent advised he would tolerate abusive language And hung up I called again to close the account and spoke to Callum Scottish chap and I have to say he was fantastic and showed listening skills and tried to resolve the issue m never giving up He showed compassion and empathy I can not commend him enough u fortunately we couldn t fix the issue but I am hard to impress but he really went above and beyond Well done Callum when I callback tomorrow to close the account I will give my feedback on your exemplary service today Barclays you have lost me as a customer and that s after only using the card 1 week poor tech

Just awful
Just awful I signed up as a business one that has been in business for 7 years now and they gave me an insulting credit limit that would have been almost unusable we cleared 3x the limit the month before on a different company credit card So since the account has fees I call them and close the account just a few weeks after opening They wouldn t help they just said if I was unhappy I could apply again hahah So I cancel and the lady says we ll waive the 150 annual charge Great A few weeks later I get a letter in the post confirming everything and that it s closed Two weeks after that and now i m getting harassing texts and messages telling me that i ve not paid my bills and that I owe them 150 and that they ve received no payments and they re gonna cut me off affect my credit rating etc etc Absolutely horrid company Not a clue what they re doing
