Barclays Priority Circle — Not made any reversal of Priority circle program

Hi
My name is Phanikumar.
i got a call from Barclays Priority Circle program stating that i got the eligibility to avail the Priority circle program and been informed that there would be a charge of Rs 5000 for the same.
i also heve been told about the following offers..
1) a free travel bag
2) a free holiday voucher
3) a fixed 30% discount on any purchage using my barclays card.

Afterwards i got another cal from the Pririty circle executive stating that the discount would range from 5% to 30%. But till the time the fee (5000) has been debited from my card account.
on 19th September 2008, I have called the Priority circle on the given nuymber[protected] for the reversal of the particular scheme as I havent been provided with the correct information..
they have given the assurance for the reversal.
But it hasnt been done till now...
I got the statement for the month of October 2008 in which there was no Reversal of the above said program. Even iam still getting the message that the travel bag(which is one of the offers under this program) has been disbursed .
I just wanted let the readers know how this bank is trying to make the card holders, fools.

Barclay bank is "bhikari bank", this is new style of collecting money "BARCLAY PRIORITY CIRCLE IS FAKE",

I too am facing the same problem.

I came across reviews of BPC offer after I accepted it, and immediately I telephoned and emailed them that I don't want the membership. Yet, membership charges are levied on my card account.

Barclay service is worst, and even their nodal officer does not reply.

I am going to lodge complaint with Banking Ombudsman, and also approach Consumer Court, if required.

Barclay is a big cheat. People should not even think of dealing with them. Force them to shut their business in India.

Barclay — Fraud by Barclays Priority Circle

Hi,

My name is Siddharth Choudhary. I posses a Barclay's card no. About a month ago, I received a call from Barclay priority circle saying that I can get a free bag and some goodies FREE OF COST and after asking repeated question about any hidden charge, the person from the Barclay priority circle convinced me of no charge.

Now, a week ego they sent a bill stated outstanding bill of Rs. 6741.6/-. I am shocked to see the bill as I was told of no charge. I have called Delhi office of Barclay Priority Circle on[protected] but they are denying the fact of information about the charge and said that I have to pay the price. I am surprise by this misleading policies and information provided by your bank.

I have written to them for investigating the matter but they simply don't bother to even reply.

My father is a Legal Advisor in Ministry of Law & Justice, Govt. of India. I am thinking of dragging them to court as other innocent people don't get caught into their trap through fraud.

I will also write to many national newspapers like Hindustan Times, Times of India, Economics Times etc. These Barclay Priority Circle people should be punished and innocent customers should be alert and close their accounts in this fraud bank.

Regards,

Siddharth

I was also made a member of priority circle informing there is no charges and inspite of asking repeated question about any hidden charge, the person from the Barclay priority circle convinced me of no charge. I have forwarded my complaint in writing to Banking Ombudsman

Barclays Priority Circle — Reverse Fees of BPC

Sir,

A few days back I received a call from Barclay Priority Circle claiming for great packages for free of cost and I had informed them that am NOT interested in the offer. Yet still I got a confirmation call for the same offer but this time with charges of Rs. 6000/- and I had strongly said to them a Strict NOOOOOOO. Even after all this they have sent me a statement of Rs. 6000/- + service tax.

On contacting them they claim to have reheard the "Confirmation call" recordings & further claim that i had given the consent for the same. I had asked them to reveal the recordings in public & they say it can't be done.

I have also sent them a mail asking them to revert the charges.

I have forwarded the same complaint to the Indian Consumer complaint forum. I wish to extend my complaint to the RBI

I have also stated to launch an FIR against the bank regarding the same

Kindly look into this matter ASAP

Sir,

I, Sridhar holding BARCLAYS Credit Card No. [protected]. Since 06/08, i have been charged an amount of 6741.60/- as a membership fee from Barclays Priority circle... which was told to me as free service.. Inspite of my repeated asking the charge structure was never told to me and it was told that it is absolutely free and i have to pay nothing for this membership.



i had received a call from Delhi office of BARCLAYS BANK from[protected] in month of October 08 and the exeutive told me that My name is selected for Priority circle facility... i repetedly asked him about charges, he told me its free of cost again and again. They had recorded for quality assurance also but the charges and amount was nowhere conveyed. Even i have not received any documentation from Barclays till date.



I had called up BARCLAYS BANK Call center regarding this matter, but they said that they will look into the matter and get back to me, but nobody is giving me any response in this matter..I have written numerous mails to [protected]@barclays.com and [protected]@barclays.com which they have acknowledged also.Their email reference nos are [protected], [protected], [protected].In one of their mails they told me that they would have reversed the charges had i called them within 21 days of debit. the bank should have sent an sms whenever theres debit to customer card which barclays never did as other banks do. had i received an sms regarding the charges i would have complained for reversal then and there itself. I think Barclays very well knows how to cheat and fool innocent customers who fall prey to their promotional gimmicks. Customers should receive sms for all debits to their card so that they can be assured that the cardis not being used fraudelently.

I have also given emailst to reverse my charges, and that i will not pay the amount at any cost., Now everyday iam receiving 7-8 calls from collection department regarding payment to which i have denied and asked them to reply to mails and solve my dispute. I am tormented and mentally harrased .

I have been holding HSBC and ICICI credit cards for last 5 years in which there has never been default. Now Barclays is pestering me that they will refer my name to CIBIL that i am a defaulter and i will have problems in getting loans in future. This is just very tormenting.



Please help me in this matter, otherwise the bank will put me in defaulter list unnecessary...



i have been cheated from BARCLAYS card, this is the case of openly cheating the customer...and looting them for unwarranted charges



I hope i will get support from your side.



Waiting for your positive reply.

Barclays Airtran Visa has messed me over 3 times. They offered 0% on balance transfers. Their sneaky little trick goes like this: They will send you this offer; then you sign their documents promising no interest for one year. Although you submit the balance transfer by the required date, they don't give the money transfer to the card that your paying of[censored]ntil 1-2 weeks after their "GREAT 0% TRANFER." When you call them, they say that a supervisor will get back with you. Usually they don't; if they do, they lie to you saying, "Oh, I'm sorry that a mistake was made, we will have it fixed right away." As you have probably already guessed this NEVER happens. They do not stick to there written policy that you do not make payments until the issue is resolved. Their contract also states that if you pay your bill every month, then no interest is charged. They did that to me every month for 4 months before I figured it out. The representative told me I have paperless statements and flatly refused to send me "paper statement." If anyone knows where I can complain and get action, please e-mail me. Does a department of the FDIC regulate these low lifes? Any information from anyone would be greatly appreciated. I may have to write another line for the old saying: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, get me a psychiatrist.

ur executive mis guide the customer, no manners, using abusing language, and make commitments not fullfill that.
