Barclays Bank Credit Card — Harrasment on the phone

Harrasment on the phone
Attn-

Hi,
My name is Sachin Rajaram Shelar, I hold a Credit card from Barclays Bank. While selling these card the bank executives give thousands of promises I was been told that I will be given a credit limit of Rs. 1, 00, 000/- and when the card card was delivered after a months time the limit set was 45, 000/- and I was not really aware of this. as the card was received by my mother. And these bank people are now charging me hell lot of over limit fees and taking more that what they should take. and I am under solid depression because of these bank people.
Before 2 months I have lost my job and due to which I am financially hit. Now I have an outstanding with this bank over 49 000/- and they are charging me lots of late payment fees and over limit charges. Earlier when I made my payments duly on time I never got calls for the payments. Now since that I was unable to make the payments since last 2 months the collection team of this bank was threatning and harrasing me making huge no of calls every day for the card payments. Instead of explaining them the problem due to which I was not able to make them payments still they have not stopped making calls. I understand that its a liablity but this is not a way of pulling money from people they already are charing me with intrest for the delayed payment and on the top ofit they are making these threatning calls and I am not happy regarding this. I would like to make a seroius compalint regarding this and also I am going to make this compaint to the police in my area. But I would request your departmet to take nessessary action regading this.

Barclay Bank - Credit Card — Harrasment

Dear Sir/Madam,

I'm also experiencing the same kind of harassment from Barclay's collection dept.

Firstly, My Statement of the Last 4 months is not yet provided to me and even after they themselves confirming that my payment is not due i daily receive SMS & Calls that are irritating. I've mailed them atleast 12 times but no proper action has yet been taken. I also received someone else's bill from them.

Barclay seems to ignore my mails but this is a humble request to you to kindly take strict action against Barclay's Bank.

Thanks & Regards,
Parvez Shaikh

Barclays Credit Card — harrasment everyday from barclays

I had opted for a barclays credit card a year ago, the actual problem started in the month of oct'08 where my usage bill was Rs.8000/-, but they added another Rs. 6000/- as the priority circle charges. i called up customer care atleast 20 times but half the time their systems were down and half the time they could not do and understand anything. aftyer following up many time, i received a call from Barclays in month of december'08 that they will reverse those charges and sent me the fresh statement within 15 days and i agreed to make that payment. But actually i did not receive any statements from them with reversed charges till today.

When this was not enough, i started getting calls to pay the bill with increment of every month's late payment charges and debit interest, and that too atleast 10 calls in a day which was a complete harrasment. later i received a call from Barclays in feb'09 for the settlment o9f bill in Rs. 8000/- and i agreed to do so. but they told me to pay Rs1000/- immediately so that they can get settlement letter from chennai so i did. When i receved the settlement letter it was for 8600/- instead of 7000/- i disagreed to pay and asked them to change it and speak to the person who had spoken to me earlier, but they said that particular person has left the organisation, bu why should i suffer for that.. Later in mar'09 end i received a call from a lady called deepika saying please rs. 2000/- and we will sent you a settlement letter for rs. 5000/- by 31 st march.

But till now i have not received any settlement letter, but i receive call everyday from them atleast 10-20 time o diff numbers which is a complete harrasment for any card holder. interms of service Barclays is pathetic and i want to get rid of it ASAP i do not want this mental torture everyday.

To this service my request is please put this complaint to Barclays and awaiting a reply in my favour.. Seeking your help in all possible way possible.

Thank you!!!

Please understand that Barclay's' does not give a damn about any one losing their job... Why don't they care? Because Barclays are SCUMBAGS. I've been a great customer for years but just went over my limit by $42.00 usd. So now Barclays has a loop hole to legally extort money from me by raising my interest rate to over 30%. I think that we consumers should just not pay Barclays... let them take a huge hit in bad loans.

This happened to Advanta... they got greedy and cardholders defaulted.. Advanta was forced out of the credit card business...

SCREW BARCLAYS!! I hope every single person at Barclays gets cancer (my wife had it hence the $42.00 in over limit... ) I hope the employees at Barclays suffer pain and that their medical condition causes financial problems.. I hope they get a taste of the pain they cause good people every day. Of course the pieces of crap that run Barclays will just find another scam to extort money. I hope if there is a hell, all employees of Barclays burn in it!!

That's my opinion...
