Consumer Narrative
On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for a Barclays Bank USA credit card. I currently have one Barclays credit card that I have had for approximately 9 years without any issues whatsoever. This card was opened using the exact same address and personal identification as the one I applied for on XX/XX/XXXX. Shortly after submitting my application, Barclays mailed me a letter asking for a copy of my driver license, Social Security card and proof of address. Since I am currently with my husband who is on XXXX XXXX with the XXXX XXXX XXXX, I tried to get a fax number to which I could send the requested documents. After an extraordinarily difficult attempt, I was finally given a fax number and I promptly faxed all the documents requested. Well after successfully faxing the documents, I received yet another letter requesting the same documents. I faxed them successfully yet again. On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I received yet another letter from Barclays that contained my application ID # XXXX and stated I needed to call to help them verify information on my application. I recently had major XXXX XXXX and am currently XXXX. The letter from Barclays specifically stated a TTY number that could be used for those with XXXX issues. I used the XXXX XXXX XXXX service to call the number Barclays listed and the number is broke. The number when answered demands a credit cad number, but this is not abut an existing account. After not entering a credit card number, the system then offers ONLY two other options : 1 ) Report a lost or stolen card. Since this issue in no way pertains to a lost or stolen card, I could not select that. The only other option available is 2 ) Check the status of a current application. Selecting that option only states that their automated system can not provide a status update and says I must check online or wait for a letter in the mail. It then promptly hangs up. I called the other number listed on the Barclays letter that is not a TTY number. Since I am not able to speak, my husband spoke with the representative and they basically stated I needed to call them myself after my XXXX passes.
