Barclays PLC Credit Card Complaint

Barclays PLC Credit card department,

Credit card protection / Debt protection Colorado

Barclays took over my - - card with - points -/-/-. From the moment the account transferred over I have not been able to open an online account, set up autopay, see my charges or pay my bill because their entire system is based on your social security number, and for some reason it takes 3-5 business days for them to record it. What is disturbing is that mine does n't work because someone else is using my social security number on their account. It has been over 7 months and Barclay 's still has not resolved the issue. I even faxed them a copy of my social security card, at their request, but no one ever confirmed they got it, it is just lost in their company somewhere. Because of this I can not open an online account. I have to call to check my charges, and call in to make a payment, first I have to go through a series of transfers and holds, it takes 45 min - 1 hr, my identity is questioned ad nauseam, then they finally realize the situation and offer to update my social security number, but the problem is they are not


them to put a stop to it, they say it will take 3-5 business days, and that they will call me back, but it never gets fixed and they never call back. I have to call them and go through the whole process all over again, this has happened 15 times in the last 7 months and there is no end in sight. They even charge me late fees while acknowledging that I can not pay without calling and wasting an hour of my time. Once they charged me the late fee after informing me that I was 10 minutes late calling, because it was based on Eastern Standard Time, even though neither of us was on the east coast. I asked to talk to a manager and was told there was no higher supervisor available, I asked for security and was told that security did n't take phone calls, but then another time I called I was transferred to security even though I did n't ask for it. One of the many managers I spoke to said the only thing I could do was write a letter to their headquarters through snail mail. There is more but I will stop here. At this point I am just going to pay it off and close the account. Their customer service is horrible and their lack of security and execution of tasks is downright frightening. They simply do n't know what they are doing and can not be trusted with money. They should be shut down before they do serious damage.
