Barclays Credit Card Complaint

Barclays Credit card department,

Closing/Cancelling account Connecticut

I attempted to add my friend as an authorized user to my Barclays - - on -/-/2016. My account was placed in a limited mode with absolutely no warning or notice given to me on -/-/16. I am unable to make any purchases. I called Barclaycard - on -/-/16 and spoke to the front line CSR. She informed me that they had requested certain information from me and it was not received. She stated that the request for information was sent yesterday ( -/-/16 ). I received no such request, and no requests at all. I decided i did not want to deal with card shutdowns on my own account, so I asked to withdraw the request to add an authorized user to my account. The front line CSR stated that this was impossible now that the notation was on my account requesting information. I then stated that I wanted to cancel my account. I was told i could not cancel my account. I asked to speak to a supervisor. -, the supervisor, restated the same inforamation that the front line CSR had stated. It 's impossible for me to fathom that I can not close my own credit card account. I have paid off the entire balance on my card, maintained a very positive relationship, and have never had a late payment.
