Dear All
I got a call from customer care offering a lot of free deals on the credit card.I asked them whether any fees was levied on it to which the person replied no.He told me that I will get a confirmation call to which I will have to said OK thereafter I will be offered a bag on payment of Rs. 150.Now till date nothing has been received by me and the customer care keeps calling me to pay a membership fee Rs. 5000 for the offer.In this regard can somebody advise on the matter.
thanks and regards

Dear Sir,



This is to bring to your notice that unfair practices are being used by the representatives (employed/out-sourced) by Barclays.



I received a call from one of the reps. sometime in the month of August or early September. The executive stated that an offer was being provided “Absolutely” free of charge by Barclays for Priority Services.



Per the information provided I agreed to the same. The shock came when in the month of September when I received my statement there was a DEBIT charged on my card amounting to INR 5000 plus service charges INR 618.



I called the customer support and discussed the case but it’s been almost a month back i.e. Week 1 September 08. I have called one too many a times and asked for updates and reversal of the charges as the information provided was “FALSIFIED”. Till date this has not been reverted and nor I have received a call back from anyone on this issue.



I have asked them for the Service Request/Complaint number for reference but I have been told that there is no such system at Barclays’ wherein a reference number to any requests is provided.



I would request to please look into this matter and have the charges reversed on my Credit Card Number: along with the service tax that has been charged on the same amount.

I am Manogn Jagani using Barclays credit card No.[protected] I received call from Priority Membership Services Department, they told that we are providing Priority membership for all our customers without any charges. But I surprised to receive SMS to pay Rs.6741.6. Immediately i contacted to customer care and also sent e-mail, they told me to contact Priority Membership Department and I contacted Mumbai Office it is telling that "All our customer care executives are unavailable now please hold for the next available representative" i waited for 1 hour and 2 hours but it is repeating the same and after I contacted again to Customer care they told me that i will forward your request to Priority Membership department. After that I contacted Priority Membership department, they registered complaint to cancel the membership and reverse the charges. I have given call to after 72 hr as per them instruction, he revert me we can't reverse the charges.

I have also tell him to I want to listen call recording but they told me this is not possible so can you help me what I do for this.

I am too having exactly the same problem as experienced by Manogn Jagani and have been cheated in the name of priority circle membership.
How can these companies go on cheating at such a large scale.

Barclaycard is simply a cheater. BPC membership is just a fraud to force upon card users to pay hefty charges. One solution is that you can send your complain to RBI Ombudsman. Visit RBI website for this. For all barclaycard my suggestion is throw this card otherwise sooner or later you will regret.

Iam Divakar, i too have been cheated by this junk call saying about some membership and suddenly one day they has deducted some 6000/- from my card, when i contacted the ct care they launched a complaint and asked to cll back after one week, when i called back i get a response that now they cant reverse the amt and cancel the membership charge..it is reticulous debitng money without any prior information and forcinbg us to pay...
My advise is dont go for the card .

I am very frusted to this trap. From whom we can take help. I have also same to same situation like Murali Mohan.When they call us to for barcaly Priority cirle invitation they were not told about canlcelation rules and regulatuion. In this fast time many call we recieved in hurry or by chance we were not concentrated on the calls and they assume we are aggree to them and they are directly dudted mony or give charges to our occunt without any information. How it is possible to we cannot do any canelation. There is any law which we were not agree or sighn. How we can fight with this type of gimiks.
Please isr there is any legule action is possibel. I am very frusteted to this type of gimmik.

YES, same experience with me. we need to go to the consumer court & ask for the compensation from Barclays for the mental harassment they are doing. We need to stand stronger and not to pay any amount towards cheating done by Barclays by forcing the membership of Priority Club
