Barclays Bank/Juniper Financial

I received a Jetblue credit card that I did not request and when I called the number to have it deactivated I was told I had to give them my social security number which I refused. I asked them how they acquired my social security without a request and was disconnected. This is a form of identity theft since I never gave them my number.

I've had the Barclays credit card for three or four years. Never missed a payment, never late & always paid more than the minimum. Yet they reduce my available credit twice. Why? They give me an excuse that my balance is too high. I have not used their card in over a year, yet always made monthly payments. They gave me a credit line of over $4,000, it's now $2,200. I now owe them about $i,800, never owed more than about 2,500. Can't wait to pay them off.

Been with Barclays for 5 years, only used the card for a year as they would not lower the APR. I only keep the card cause it’s free and the length of time for the credit is good to have. Their customer service sucks and the interest rate is double my other cards. Barclays doesn’t compare to most other cards or competitors.

I made a payment on October 31 of over $10,000.00 (we were paying for our wedding). This company cashed the check on November 14th and still has not applied the funds to my account. My credit took a hit because I am not willing to send them more money. I own a home and just recently got married, and HAD perfect credit. This company is bad bad bad and the people running it should be in jail. I am so mad I ever opened an account with this company. Be smarter than the rest of us here and get a credit card from somewhere else. ZERO STARS.

0 is what they deserve from me. They have been a nightmare. They are a ripoff. They accrued some type of interest which they will not remove even though it was their fault for making a mistake with my payments which are always on time and I always pay more than the minimum. They will lie to you and tell you that they will take care of it and in the end they will waste your time. I also tried using the card for a small payment and they have been giving me a hassle for about a week. They have given me so much trouble that I had to order a new card in the mail which I already received for them to put a block on the card for no reason. I called them to find out what is going on and they just tell me the same thing, that it should be working fine. They are ridiculous. A big 0 for them!

Don't bother signing up to get your "50,000 American Airlines" points because it’s a big fat lie and a rip-off. They find every loophole they can to avoid giving you your points. I never got mine, even though I paid my fee and bill in the first 90 days like they required.

We made a claim on an item we ordered and was stolen at the mail box. We jumped through hoops with endless documentation’s and then denied. Our other credit cards would of been easy to work with and would of covered this loss. Their “perks” are all for show. Disappointing. If you have not open an account with them... don’t bother!

A “school” helped us get business start up $ with 3 banks. Credit card company “A,” “B” for Barclay, and “C” each extended credit. When the school was sued and closed by the FTC for fraud, we filed a dispute. Credit companies “A” and “C” (their company names start w/ those letters) credited our accounts within 30 days. BARCLAY HAS STALLED, dodged, & repeated same dead end script for 8 months. I concur with others: STAY AWAY from Barclays!

I received an email from Barclaycard that If I enroll in the automatic credit card payment then I will receive $10. After enrolling, I received three statements and three automatic payments have conducted and it has been more than two months still I did not receive the promotion offer. I called the customer service two times and they always say blah blah ball but could not give me an exact answer why did not I receive the promotion. I think they just expect customer will eventually forget or ignore because of the small amount, however, they will make the profit.

I Was purchasing tickets to travel with my family and got the promo ad offering to apply for the CC and get a better rate and two round tickets. Long story short was not approved when my credit is above 750 and requested to mail my Social Security Card, Driver licence and passport or third form of ID... WTF??? Signing my life away if my documents get on the wrong hands!!! Call them and asked if I could provide the information in a different way and there was none. FYI I have an account with them currently.

Had a dispute with a merchant. Reported to Barclay Aviator Red Card. Provided them with 2 people to collaborate my statements. After 2 months, they never contacted my provided contacts. Then, stated they could not do anything because I provided my credit card. Dispute department and process was worthless.

I had a Barclays card for 4 years with a perfect payment history. In August 2018 they sold my account to Mercury Card. When I called Mercury Card they told me I was 30 days late. So I made a payment. They made an error, I made another Payment. They said they were going to fix the error. Today I found out they charged my account off at 60 days. There's nothing I can do. I just want to warn other people of Barclays. They seem great until they sell your account out... They Ruined my credit and it was perfect. Awful experience. Beware. NIGHTMARE!!!

I have had a few problems with Barclays over the years, but here is the latest. I submitted an online payment on 9/2/18. In the past, they have always taken the payment out of my checking the same day or the next day. I assumed that September was no different and that by the middle of the month, they had already received the payment. However, they decided to wait until the money was no longer in the account at the middle of the month before trying to take it out. This caused me a bank fee.

The Estate's probate attorney sent notice to Citibank regarding her death and stating that, per the law, they would need to file a Creditor's claim against the Estate in the timeframe permitted by law. Barclays FAILED to file the claim or respond to the legal notice filed in the local paper in the timeframe required by law. Barclays, due to their failure to respond to the notice and legal notice, no longer has any right to request payment. While they are VERY aware of this, they send the family member's threatening notes.

I consolidated my cards with my credit union and Barclays cashed the check on Oct 2nd. The money was never credited to my account. I called on Oct 5th. They said they would investigate it. I got a letter on the 12 that said I needed to go to my bank and get a copy of the front and back of the canceled check and fax it to them and I need to make my payment to avoid late fees on an account that is already supposed to be closed. I did both. On Oct 29th I called Nate they said they are investigating it still and I need to make my payment on Nov 2nd or I will get late fees again. This account should have been paid off and closed on Oct. 2nd when they cashed the check. They said I should call back on Nov. 8th to check on it. This is the worst company ever. If they can't keep up with my money they won't be able to keep up with yours either. I'm at the point of just using them now. Take your business elsewhere.

I've had a Barclaycard Rewards Mastercard for years. My complaints about this company don't relate specifically to problems I've encountered with my credit card account, but relate more to what a joke this card issuer is. They consider themselves a big player, but when you compare their operations to other national card issuers, Barclaycard is in the stone age. Their "account alerts" (i.e. Security) is a total joke. I signed up to be notified every time there's a transaction over $50. One would think in this day and age that would be instant, but not with Barclaycard... Their idea of notifying you means you get alerted 2-3 days after the transaction has occurred. Now think about that... 2-3 days... If I lost my card and didn't catch the fact I had, I wouldn't know someone was using it for 2-3 days after the fact. What a pathetic shameful joke of a service to offer their customers... Obviously they hire only the best technology people!

Bad idea Barclays for switching one of my cards over to Mercury. Mercury is horrible. They don’t care about their customers. I spent two hours on the phone today getting transferred around being left on hold for such a long time that a recording came on that said my allotted time on hold was up so I need to hang up and please try again and then Mercury hung up on me. They kept transferring me to different people. I wound up with six different people and no one would help me. Bottom line is I made my payment on time with Mercury the first payment I had since it switched from Barclays. I received a confirmation of my payment. A few days later I get a notification from my credit report stating that there was a derogatory mark from Mercury which stated that I did not make my payment on time which I did and have a confirmation number.

Have repeatedly had to reset mobile app password because they have some internal issue. In fact their service people acknowledge that many people complain about the poor mobile app design and use. Yet they have done nothing to correct their problems or improve the app. They are the worst bank to deal with and I would never open any account with them. JetBlue made a serious mistake changing to this bank and it has been a problem from the very beginning. If you need a credit card do not get a Barclays card no matter what they offering.

I open a credit card at American Airlines offer and they charge me a 95 dollar fee and I never got the credit card and they refuse to give me the money back. They charge me 95 annual fee and I never use it. I close the card. Stay away.

I reserved a room online. I was told if I open a Barclay Credit Card I would save $25. I did so. To my surprise I COULD NOT use the card because it had not been mailed to me... 14 days to mail. Since I could not use the card I attempted 4x over 2 days to cancel the card. I was on phone an average of 40 minutes each time and was told to call back as the department I needed was not available. Stall tactics? Anyway when I actually got someone to deal with situation they asked for the account number. DUH. I have not received a card. Anyway after some brow beating I was able to close the account. NEVER will do business with this bank. Customer service terrible and the stall tactics unacceptable. Be wary before you utilize their services. I gave a 1 star but really wanted ZERO.

I was with Barclays Mastercard for 3 years. Now they sold us out to some sideshow company called Mercury Mastercard. Every time I paid my Barclay bill, my credit was always available the very next morning... Well I look to charge on my card. No credit available... 3.00 available... just paid 700.00 the early am on Wed Sept 26th. I called 4 times. Finally someone answered. I said I wanted a supervisor or manager to talk to... they said no one available that they would call me back. That didn't happen... called again they said you have a 3 to 5 day waiting period before your credit shows up available **!! It didn't take them but a couple hours to take it out of my bank account!! If this continues I will cancel this card whether it means my credit score is affected doesn't matter. I never missed a payment for 3 years not one... I'm just totally disgusted and a very unhappy Mercury customer???

I've been with Barclays for 5 years, never missed a payment, never been late. They sold my 2 cards to Mercury. Their customer service line is overloaded and unable to take calls or the wait is over 30 minutes... that's as long as I've waited with no help. If you call the Mercury lost card/fraud number they pick up immediately. They cannot help with your account at that number. I was unable to establish both cards when setting up the online account. It required me to use another email account to set up the second card.

Had a dispute where I was charged by a merchant for a service I did not receive. The merchant agreed it was an error also. 6 months later and I am still trying to Get American Airlines Barclay to correct it. They are horrible with disputes.

I have had an account with Barclays for 3 years now with a $3750.00 credit limit. I got close to limit, and stopped using for a few months, and only made minimum payments. I finally after 6 months got a bonus, and paid $2500.00 on account. After payment cleared, Barclays decreased my credit limit to $1200.00. I called them about it, and they basically told me to go fly a kite. I told customer service rep how I did not appreciate how I had been done, and he said there’s nothing they can do. I will pay them off, and never use again. They are a TERRIBLE company.

It all starts with a merchant I ordered from who did not send ALL of the order. So naturally I filed a dispute when the merchant ignored my requests for the rest. Barclays basically just added a note to my account and it went on my credit report (just the dispute note, which can harm you if you’re trying to buy a house)! They also said I still have to pay the disputed amount and if they rule in my favor then I will get credit (Luckily the merchant made good so I paid it). LOL. Go ** yourself! Secondly, to get a limit increase, which I’ve had this card for a couple years now with a 1500 limit, they put a mark on my credit again by checking. None of my other cards do that and I have a lot. They still turned me down for an increase.

12 members of my family recently sailed on the Carnival Valor (2-6 August 2018). On 2 August, there was a table set up for people to complete a Carnival credit card application and get lanyards and bags for free. I (and many others in my party of 12) began to complete the application and I told the representative that we didn't want the card and asked if we could get a lanyard. I offered to give her $5 for a bag and a lanyard. She said, in order to get a free gift, you had to do the application but she said, "If you do not want it to be processed, then you do not use the correct information and it cannot process." I said, "You mean use random numbers for the SSN and DOB?" And she said "Yes, just numbers and then sign".

Barclays Letter feels like a SCAM. I applied for the JetBlue Credit Card. My FICO score is 839, so who would think a problem would occur? They sent me a letter asking for copies of my driver's license, bank statements and SS card. Who does this? They can keep their card.

First off, I want to start by saying I don't have a lot of credit cards but being a new business owner has put me in a money crunch. I've dealt with all the other companies in putting me on a payment plan in which to help me, a tax paying American. However, when I had a late payment last month, Barclays advised I needed to make my payment in order for them to offer me a payment plan. Ok, done. Then when I called back to make a payment plan they tell me my account needs to be in past due status in order for them to put me on a plan. The complete opposite of what I was told!!!

Reported a double charge from a travel company to Barclay. Started an investigation in May. Sent in all the required documents they requested. As of now, 3 months later, all I get is lip service. Tells me the charge is still under investigation... When asked when the investigation will be over or any such time frame, nobody can answer that. Have spoken to managers, and now they tell me if I want to go further I will have to write a letter to the office of the President... THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! As soon as this is over, I will be cancelling my card.

I have been a credit card client with Barclays for almost 12 years. Today I received a letter from an obscure credit card issuer stating that Barclays had sold my account to them and as of September 2018 my Juniper Card would convert to a Mercury Mastercard. Barclays did not notify any clients and doesn't provide any information through customer service other than to state that, "your account has been sold". To be clear, my account is in good standing and has been for the entire time it's been open. It currently has a 0 balance. Essentially what Barclays has done is force many of its clients into a business relationship not of their choosing. Your only options are to continue with a company that you know nothing about or close your account, which would be detrimental to your credit score. This entire action shows what a lack of regard Barclays has for its clients. It will be a very long time before I ever consider doing business with Barclays again.
