Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Credit card or prepaid card: General-purpose credit card or charge card

Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Complaint: Subject : Complaint about Barclays Bank ( Barclaycard ), Delaware On XX/XX/XXXX, I bought educational programs from Company called XXXX XXXX. I spend almost {$50000.00} for this. Using the credit cards that they pushed me to open in order to fund them. These credit cards of XXXX bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX were for the same purpose of paying the above mentioned company ( XXXX XXXX ). With this purchase I was supposed to receive 16 sessions of " one-on-one '' marketing training over the XXXX in order to be able to market back their product and get commissions. However, instead of getting the promised training, the assigned coach asked me for additional $ XXXX - $ XXXX, and didn't train me the way they had promised to do so. As a result, I received ZERO training. I feel very much tricked and cheated, so I called the credit card banks to file for dispute.Out of all these banks, XXXX XXXX resolved my problem within the first 10 days and returned the full credit to my account which I do appreciate a lot.But today, XXXX XXXX Which I filed for complaint on XX/XX/2018 and provided them with all sorts of documents and contracts said they can not help me because in the contract between me and XXXX XXXX it says it's nonrefundable. They refuse to see my point to even refer to the contract in full. If they take time to review the contract, they should also see that XXXX XXXX, were supposed to provide me with a service which they obviously didn't. Therefore, it was them that breached the contract in the first place. What is the point of having Barclays bank credit cards ( Barclaycard )? To make sure you get ignored when you don't receive the services you are promised by the vendor? Just because they don't want to spend enough time on correct and complete investigation of everyone 's cases, you should get screwed? Or is it because they don't want to give up on the commission they make from a dishonest organization, they refuse honest hard working people of their promised benefits / rights? Which one is it? I would like to know!!!

Other problem
Complaint: I realized on XX/XX/XXXX that I overpaid my XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) by {$920.00} due to making a payment and having one scheduled. My account was at a XXXX balance ; therefore, I have a {$920.00} credit. I called on XX/XX/XXXX to request this be deposited back in to my bank account. The rep said general practice is to send a check that I would get in 7-10 business days. I demanded the money be deposited back in to my account. She said it would take the same amount of time and I said that was fine. On XX/XX/XXXX I called to get status ; I was told it was still in process and to give it a few more days. I called a couple more times, but do not have those dates. Yesterday ( XXXX ) I called again and demanded to speak to a supervisor because I still did not get my money back. On another date I demanded to speak to a supervisor and got transferred to another CSR who admitted she was not a supervisor. The supervisor I spoke with yesterday said she would get this escalated and that when I called on XX/XX/XXXX the CSR did not do anything to get the process started. When I called on XX/XX/XXXX no one mentioned that. When I would call to get status I was always just told to give it a little more time. The supervisor I spoke with yesterday said she would call me back that day. I have yet to get a call back and still have not gotten my {$920.00} credit. I'm a single mother who needs this to pay my mortgage. I'm beginning to think I will never get it.

Problem with rewards from credit card
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I chose to use XXXX miles for an approximate {$100.00} travel credit as part of the Barclay Rewards program. I clicked the {$100.00} XXXX XXXX credit item then cancelled the transaction discovering that it would make more sense to use the {$550.00} credit item from the XXXX XXXX which expires on XX/XX/XXXX. The payment was canceled but I lost the XXXX miles leaving me with only enough miles to apply an {$89.00} annual fee credit item. I immediately called Barclay at XXXX to request my points be returned which they refused. I escalated the issue to the Office of the President for consideration. The Barclay service manager said I could fax or send a letter to the Office of the President, Attn : XXXX XXXX - President, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, DE XXXX. Barclay offered no electronic option to file a complaint. Meantime, I have posted a payment in full for my account balance due XX/XX/XXXX. The service reps at Barclay were professional but it was clear they lacked any authority to resolve this simple issue of returning my XXXX reward points forcing me to mail a letter to the president.

Fees or interest

Credit card or prepaid card: General-purpose credit card or charge card

Problem with fees
Complaint: Opened XXXX XXXX XXXX account with Barclays Bank Delaware transfer balance in XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX : Minimum payment {$180.00}, I paid $ XXXX $ XXXX monthly but the balance was going up not down ( even during months no purchases were made ). XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX Fees charges ( not purchases ) put card over the limit although higher payments made monthly. contacted Barclays to discuss the option of lowering interest rate, question fees that brought card close to limit, refused to work with customer in good standing, never missed a payment, and always paid more than the minimum. Balance was {$6800.00}. XX/XX/XXXX : representative said the company would only work out a payment agreement with customers who were late on payments. XX/XX/XXXX : contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX to work on settlement or payment agreement. They refused to lower interest or settle account. They suggested continue to call, they would be more inclined to agree to settle before it went to collections. I closed the account and disputed charges for over the limit fees which caused additional fees. I received a letter stating account was closed amount owed {$7200.00}, no further charges would be added while dispute was pending. XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX : Continued to contact company monthly, they continued to add fees and subsequent over the limit charges, and additional fees. XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX : Continued to speak with Barclays, again offered to settle original amount owed, minus fees. XX/XX/XXXX : They have sold the account and report monthly to credit bureau. Barclays Bank Delaware does not have record of our conversations and are unwilling to work with me to resolve the issue. XXXX XXXX XXXX is in charge of collections, but will not report to bureaus. XXXX will accept settlement, but will not remove it from the report. I tried repeatedly to resolve and come to good standing with Barclays card. Never had a late payment until XX/XX/XXXX when trying to work with them to remove the over-limit fees. They continued to charge fees past the time account was closed and involved in dispute.

Problem with rewards from credit card
Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX I requested a new Credit Card " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' in XX/XX/XXXX. One of the benefits I valued was Trip Cancellation/Interruption insurance up to $ XXXX.per event, {$10000.00} per year. In addition, all purchases accumulated XXXX points for every dollar spent. ( XXXX ) I have used the card extensively, payments were automatically deducted from my bank account ( auto-pay ) and my credit score has been around 800. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted the bank and, given my good standing, asked for a waiver of the {$89.00} annual fee. The gentleman instead offered a NO FEE card, especially since almost all my charges were for travel and dining expenses. He stated explicitly that this card would fit since the only difference from the previous card was that, " XXXX points would be given for Travel and Dining expenses '' en " XXXX point for all other expenses. ALL OTHER BENEFITS WILL REMAIN THE SAME ''. I heard him say that more than once. We agreed to proceed. I could continue to use my other card until the new card arrived and was activated. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received the new card in the mail. ( XXXX ). The name was changed to " Arrival ''. The card had a sticker asking to " Activate your card now at .... '' I did not activate the card but first verified the insert and benefits. THE BENEFITS WERE DIFFERENT. The travel protection was reduced to {$1500.00}! I contacted the bank immediately and today informed me and they have already switched me to the new card program and are unwilling to allow me to go back to my prior card and benefits. They claim that procedure was followed. I vehemently contest that statement. Is it proper procedure to misrepresent the benefits? Here are the reasons for my complaint : : 1. The agent did NOT disclose that the benefits for travel insurance would be reduced. To the contrary, he said that all benefits would remain the same. 2. When the card arrived, it had to be activated to become valid, which I did not do. 3. It was my understanding that the new card would become active AFTER I had activated it and that at that point the previous card could be destroyed. He did not say that I would be switched IMMEDIATELY that day of XX/XX/XXXX to the new account. Moreover, how can anyone agree to misrepresented verbal information which turns out to be materially different from the written information received in th mail. How could, it be that a consumer has no recourse after seeing information that was different than what was promised? One has usually a few days to decide AFTER the pertinent information has been provided. This is the second time in a year that I have to file a complaint for misrepresentation of facts by Barclays.

Fees or interest

Credit card or prepaid card: General-purpose credit card or charge card

Problem with fees
Complaint: Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2018, I received multiple ( 7 ) cash advance fees ( {$10.00} per fee, so {$70.00} total ). These were charged after purchases at XXXX. XXXX is a website where cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin can be purchased. Before XX/XX/2018, I have purchased from XXXX at least 10 times without ever receiving a fee. After contacting BarclayCard, it was explained to me that that on XX/XX/2018, the Merchant Category Code ( MCC ) for purchases at XXXX was changed to something similar to when chips are purchased at a Casino. I then asked Barclay if they had ever planned to let their customers know this change had taken place and they should perhaps change the way they do these transactions to avoid these fees and they said something to the effect of " No, it is the customers responsibility to understand how these things work ''. I felt that this was unfair for a few reasons : -None of my previous transactions from XXXX XXXX had fees before XX/XX/XXXX. -Therefore, If I were given a fee when i first tried ordering from XXXX XXXX I would have never made so many more orders that accumulated these fees. -These fees were given over the course of a week without any notice from Barclay Card . They did not happen immediately so even if i checked the same day or a day later I would have still suffered these penalties. -A transaction I made between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX was not given a fee, so the date they decided to start charging me the fee was seemingly arbitrary. -On a personal note, when i spoke to a manager, she said something to the effect of " You should be happy that I ( she ) don't go back and charge a fee for each time you used coinbase ''. There were 11 earlier times. I feel like this was a threat, or at least i felt threatened, not knowing whether or not this was an actual thing she could do.

Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Complaint: On or about XX/XX/XXXX I observed a charge to my card that was not made by me. I did not recognize the amount posted to my statement. It was a small amount, however, so I paid it. On or about XX/XX/XXXX I notice another charge on my card and this time I called Barclay 's to inform them that my card had been stolen and used and that I wanted a new card. I also told them that I had paid the XX/XX/XXXX charge but that I would not be paying any other charges. I was assured everything would be ok and was issued a new card. To this date, I have not called to turn the card on. I was assured everything was going to be fine. In XX/XX/XXXX and for the last two months I have been getting charged with late fees and 'minimum ' charge amounts by Barclays . I have discussed this and also have trails of electronic messages to and from Barclays and have had no resolution. I have since observed on my Credit Report that they have reported late payments on this account, which has hurt my score. Since XX/XX/XXXX I have received ZERO help from these people and they have decided to not only disregard my requests but also not to remove the charges and then charge interest and fees on fraudulent charges. I have read that everything the company has done so far may violate many of the regulations they are supposed to follow. Please, help me.

Problem with product or service terms changing
Complaint: I applied for a credit card and received mailed notice from Barclays Bank stating they needed additional information. They requested copies of my current drivers license, copy of utility bill, and copy of my social security number. Although I had reservations about providing my SSN, I did send them the first two items and a copy of my Medicare Card which clearly shows my name and social security number. After a few weeks had past, I called to find out the reason for the delay in issuing my card. They insisted that they must have the copy of my social security card in order to process the application. Since the information they requested was to verify my identity, I offered to send them a copy of my birth certificate or any other information they needed to prove my identity and citizenship as an alternative to the social security card. My Medicare Card is should be as valid as my social security card for providing my social security number. As far as I know, there is no XXXX requirement that states that a financial institution MUST require its customer to provide a social security card as valid documentation in order to do business. I feel that their insistence on requiring that singular piece of identification, and one the Social Security Administration itself suggests against providing, represents an unfair trade practice by the bank. This situation could be easily avoided if Barclays would accept other primary types of identification.
