Barclays PLC Credit card department,
I applied for a 0 % interest for 12 months credit card called -. I was sent a card that said - all across the front. In the - billing month, I was charged interest. I called Barclaycard -, the issuer. They said they could n't resolve the issue over the phone but that if I waited two weeks they would send me a letter. I waited. No letter, no call. I called again. This time they acted like the first agent did n't even open the case correctly. They said they would. Told me to wait a week. I 'd get a letter. I waited-no letter. I called again. This time agent told me they were not going to charge me interest for the upcoming month and that they would eventually credit the account for the interest already charged. On -, I logged in to the online account to find I had been charged interest yet again. I called again today ( - ) and was told my card does not have 0 % interest for purchases and they would n't refund the charges. I applied for a 0 % for 12 months card for purchases AND balance transfers. I read the terms carefully before applying. They are still offering this - card on their website with 0 % for purchases and balance transfers for 12 months. I told them that. Manager said that promotion could change at any time and would n't verify that the promotion had been valid when I applied for the card. I definitely applied for that card and those were the terms. I was also supposed to get $100.00 cash back if I spent $500.00 in the first 90 days. I have n't received that either. They wo n't honor the terms of the card. Also, by telling me to wait in two week spans, I 've been pushed into subsequent billing months, interest charges piling up by the day. This is classic bait and switch. I 've never received - letter or call in response.
