Consumer Narrative
I have tried closing my credit card account with Barclays Bank. My account was only accessible via my website, but I was unable to access it. My userid and password did not work and I was locked out. I contacted Barclays customer service by phone. They said they would send me a code to verify my identity and reset my password but the code never arrived by text or email. I contacted them many times to ask for help, but they did not help. I decided to close my account and pay the last balance I was aware of in full. I Paid {$2900.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I did not receive any confirmation of the payment. I was also not informed that there was a remaining balance of {$13.00}. Interest has continued to accumulate on the balance. As of XX/XX/XXXX it was {$220.00}. I became aware of this when I was notified by XXXX ( whom I also have a credit card with ) that my credit rating had been reduced and they were decreasing my credit limit. They referred me to XXXX. The XXXX report showed that there was a balance due on the closed Barclay card that continues to increase. I have contacted Barclay regarding this, but they are unwilling to dismiss the interest charges which continue to accumulate and allow me to pay the {$13.00}.
