Barclays Credit Card Complaint

Barclays Credit card department,

California

I was offered a Barclay credit card - - to make purchases at -. This was a deferred interest credit card. I made timely payments however little if any of my payments was ever applied to the original balance. In - - and an interest charge of $520.00 was applied to my account. When I inquired I found a tricky and deceptive practice and seek relief. In - of - I asked if the same credit card could be used for other purchases. Barclay responded yes however I was not told or informed at that time how the other charges would accrue or payments would be applied. Upon the charge of $520.00. in interest I attempted to find this information in my statement and could not. I did find on their website that in the last two months payments are applied to the minimum due and the rest to the original purchase deferred program. Those months ( 60 days ) are the only time that payments are applied to the original purchase. Candidly this seems tricky and I dispute the interest charges made. In addition, this issue has affected my credit rating which I have been working on very diligently for some years. I feel tricked and angry about this matter. I request remedy from your Agency. On searching the web I found other similar complaints about the Barclays - deal and found that many people share my concerns and my frustrations. My goal is to have the $520.00. - time interest payment removed so that I may pay off this credit card. Coincidentally in the last 60 days I did in fact make $1000.00 in payments even though I was unaware of this rather deceptive matter. That would mean that in over 2 years and nearly $5000.00 in payments little or none was applied to the original purchase. Clearly that is intentional to gain revenue for Barclays and for -. Thank you- -
