Consumer Narrative
The issue is with Barclays US credit card. Despite repeated requests ( 2 ) Barclays US bank refuses to provide me with a credit card paper statement. It only sent me an electronic reminder listing the minimum payment due ( {$29.00} ) however it refused to provide a statement listing all purchases. On XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX I called the company numerous times and the calls were not answered. Subsequently I got excuses such as the Barclays US card experiencing problem with the XXXX XXXX or another excuse provided to the credit card partner supervisor ( Wyndham ) stating that the company is undergoing " system updates '' etc. The bottom line is Barclays US is unwilling/incapable to provide a basic customer service and depending who asks them the answer is different depending who picks up their phone. It is apparent that their overseas call center employees ( most likely provided by the third party vendor ) are not properly trained to handle calls or in my case are not even responding to calls. The question to the US regulator I have is this : Why is the Barclays Bank US allowed to operate in the US market when it can not meet a basic requirement such as customer service or even send out a credit card statement? Also why the Barclays Banks sends out electronic reminders to pay a minimum fee instead sending the total amount due? It appears that the bank deliberately drives the consumers to pay their minimum fees so the bank can charge high interest rates on the amount owed. I paid my estimated bill as I am unable to find out how much I actually owe on this card at this time due to the large volume of transactions.
