Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/XXXX, I accepted the promotional offer on my Barclay Carnival MasterCard for an amount to be deposited into my bank account for purchases or balance transfers. There would be a processing fee of 81 dollars. My balance was zero as I hardly ever use this account. I requested {$2700.00} ( my credit limit is {$5200.00} ) which was deposited to my banking account on XX/XX/21. In the next several days I pulled up my Barclay Carnival MasterCard account on line and noticed my balance was XXXX. There had been two transactions made for {$2700.00} and two fees of {$81.00}. I immediately pulled up my banking account to see if they had deposited the money twice. They only deposited {$2700.00}. I called Barclay Carnival MasterCard and spoke to a representative and she said they would need to investigate the matter. She placed a request and told me those can take up to 48 hours. So I patiently waited 2 days and the charge was still there. I called for the second time and spoke with a representative who told me there was a glitch in their system and the money would be returned. I waited 7 days and nothing. I called for the third time and asked for a manager. She told me there was not one on site but I insisted. She put me on hold for a long time and the manager came on the phone and said she was handling it and it could take until the end of the billing cycle. So, one week later I began getting reports from my other credit cards and credit protection agency 's that I was over the limit on one of my cards. My credit score was being directly affected and I was due to close on a property in a week. I called 3 more times. One time they accidentally hung up on me and the last employee I talked to told me there no phone number to the department that was handling the glitch and that it could take up to 120 days to correct. He told me it would do me no good to call them everyday. This mistake is costing me $ 100/day and I need my card balance to be corrected. They should be able to reverse the charge on my card and correct their glitch without costing the consumer financial burden. I am suspicious of the vague comments I am receiving and the fact there is no one to talk to at Barclay Carnival MasterCard to assist me in answers. It has now been XXXX weeks since this glitch has happened and its now affecting my credit.
