Barclays-hanging on to your money

It's iniquitous.

Rob Graham

Bad business from their POV I would have thought. Still bankers know what they are doing, dont they? :-)

Thet are not alone.... Norwich Union..or should i say Aviva make you jump through so many hoops to get your dosh. Once I have my money out it wont go back again. I am just amazed that a minority act like double glazing companies...not expecting any repeat sales!

There is something VERY dodge about that company, did you read about the student who was overdrawn by £100bn...

Mr Moffat said he had "been passed from pillar to post" after making the error known to Barclays.

Here is last years account.

My secret personal suspicion is Barclays are implementing creative accounting, to spread there losses amongst unsuspecting customers, and in this case... instead of a small slice of debt, this poor student in the first story was saddled with the whole thing. After reading my account, you might believe the same thing.

Several weeks ago I had occasion to ring Barclays about another matter. I ended up talking to someone in Mumbai who tried to sell me house insurance while reading from a card. He was unable to answer my initial enquiry.

Incompetence or desperate to milk customers for as much cash, either way I hope Barclays go bust next.

I did contact watchdog, but no reply - it's appalling what they try to get away with.

Ever since crossing with Barclays customer mis-service, I have taken to recording ALL phone calls with ANY company, on ANY customer service related matter. They record us, I advise you to do the same, that way you can send a CD of their behavior to their chairman.

In the end, I tracked down the big cheese at barclays and sent a letter recorded delivery, all i got was £50 compensation - Shocking.
