Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/XXXX, I logged into my Barclays account at https : //cards.barclaycardus.com/. I was able to view my account balance, payment history, and more as I have been able to since opening the card. Please note, the card was closed back in XXXX ; however, this has not prevented me from accessing my account to make payments. After reviewing my account, I attempted to change my password as I received updated information from XXXX ( under " Password Settings '' ) that my password has been compromised due to redundant use. Therefore, I attempted to update my password. Eventually, after a few error messages I was able to successfully update my password but I could not access my account after being prompted to log in. I recorded the password both on my XXXX and via my XXXX but I received an error that my credentials were wrong. I attempted to use the " Password Reset '' feature but I was asked to provide the XXXX code ; however, I have not had the card for five years or more. The account is closed. I called customer service and they advised that since the account was closed, I no longer would have access to the account after six months from the closing of the account but this is not correct. I've logged into my account every month to pay my bill. To add, I've taken a more aggressive approach ; therefore, I make multiple payments each month. I advised that the information about me not having access was incorrect as I just accessed my account, saw that balance was about {$260.00} remaining and I experienced an issue only because of the password reset request. Although pleasant, the representative proceeded to attempt to collect a payment from me although I've already paid for this month. I am attempting to purchase a home and I need access to my statements for financing. The representative repeatedly advised that there is no fee to retrieve payment via phone ; however, that was not the goal of the call. I feel as though this violates a convenience or ease of payment methods to adequately manage my account. Additionally, this error may have occurred as a deceptive practice to force individuals to pay their account in full. I was about to pay but I was extremely upset with the alleged practice as I'm in finance. I've attached the confirmation advising that I have successfully changed my password, and other confirmation emails advising of credit score changes and payment activity in which they all prompt me to log into my account ONLINE to view all activity. This is contradictory to what the representative disclosed. The only document that does not prompt me to log into my online account is the password confirmation email.
