Barclays Credit Card Complaint

Barclays Credit card department,

Closing/Cancelling account New York

I had few accounts with Barclaycard US and called them in to get my accounts closed. They then asked me to stay on with their company, in exchange for a retention offer, which they promised to put bonus points on my account, after some different charges I will put on my account. so I stayed on with them. However, I soon realized this was a gimmick, and they did n't even give me the chance to do so. it was just for them ; to be able to suddenly close it without notice, instead of me doing it, so to be able to steal my rewards, and to get it reported on my credit report as closed by credit granter, resulting in a significant decrease to my credit score. Also they charged me interest on a balance transfer after assuring me I wo n't be charged. When I questioned them as to why they decided to grant my request to close it..? their answer was : 1 ) since I drastically went over my credit limit, 2 ) had three returned payments, 3 ) opened to many accounts past year. To Clarify : 1 ) This is odd even if


2 ) Explaining them issue with returned payments, furthermore, In the past they also once in error stopped a check sent to me causing me damage and bad image. 3 ) I had no problem while starting the relationship with them, although I always had many accounts. 4 ) In addition to the above referenced account, all other accounts including my wife 's, were closed, even where no issue occurred at all. All this happened only after I warned them I 'll report them to the CFPB, and start litigation against them, since they were refusing to send a mid cycle update to the credit reporting bureau about a very large payment I made on my spouses account, right after the statement closed with a high balance, saying they do n't do this service, no matter damages causing you, which is ruining my score as well, being that I am an AU on the account. Despite the fact, that they did update right away the closure of my account done by them, even though it was still open on the closing date of the statement. They are not acting in good faith as every other bank would 've done to send an update to the bureau, even after I advised them of the damage it 's causing to my report having a large balance. They are also refusing to rectify the reporting as closed by consumer. I had a very big lost by using their cards above other companies, especially that they are not allowing me to redeem my rewards I legally earned by using the card and paying for it. I also just upgraded my aadvantage card to be able to earn - miles and lost out on that as well. Barclays bank is being misleading and violated federal regulations by charging me interest on a balance transfer I was promised it will be free of interest. NEVER SEEN A BANK BEING SO UNFAIR MISLEADING, STUBBORN NASTY, UNACCOMMODATING, AND IMPROPER!
