Barclays PLC Credit Card Complaint

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Barclays PLC Credit card department,

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement Illinois

I am a victim of counterfeit fraud on my credit card. Barclay notified me of the suspicious transaction on -/-/- the day it happened. I contacted them as soon as i could and confirmed the charge in question was indeed fraud. After wait more than 2 weeks for the fraud charges to be credited to my account, I sent them an email questioning the status of account ( see copy of email in attachment ), and they responded that my issue has been escalated and will be diligently working to resolve it. After waiting another 3+ weeks, and nothing happened I contacted them for a 3rd time, this time by calling them. I finally got someone on the phone from the fraud department and he told me it would be handled right away, which I did receive credits on my account the next day. I just got a letter this week that was generically worded saying they resolved my fraud case and it is now closed. I assume this meant that it was in my favor, since I am the victim of fraud, but no, they put the fraud charge back on my account. I find it extremely frustrating and completely ridiculous that I will need to reach out to Barclay for a fourth time to resolve an issue that I am a victim. I have also been making payments to cover the fraud charge because I do not trust this company to properly credit me any interest that I would have incurred because of their incompetence and failure to handle this simple situation.
