Barclays Credit card department,
To Whom it may concern, I am extremely unhappy with the recent finance charges charged to my Barclay card account. I applied to this card via - solicitation. When I applied, I was under the impression I had 18months at 0 % to pay this off. Apparently, I had only 12 months at 0 %. Which was not made clear whatsoever! This is the first card I 've done online statements with and never checked them because I always pay each month on time and thought I had 18 months to pay it. I received no notification via mail, phone or online saying my 0 % was expiring. The only reason I noticed something was wrong was because my account balance was off. I 'm truly disappointed that no one could call or make it easily and visibly apparent my 0 % was up by putting it on the main personal dashboard page and/or in the online payment section. I feel duped and taken advantage of ... .bait and switch for sure! I 'm a good paying customer and will no longer be a customer due to this method of business. While I appreciate the partial refund, I do not believe I owe anything because I was not aware my 0 % was up and believe they want online statements to gain money from unaware customers like myself. I believe I am owed back the difference I 've been forced to pay in interest. They charged me the interest for the entire year because my 0 % was up ... I had money to pay in full but was going to pay monthly because I thought I had 0 % for 18 months. Almost $200.00 ... Unreal! From what I have found online they have done this to many many customers!! Appalling and criminal!
