Consumer Narrative
End of XXXX I have made a payment to Barclays XXXX for {$390.00} using my bill pay with an outside bank. Since the payment appeared to meet the deadline I have called Barclays and I was informed that the payment was never received. Subsequently I then paid the whole amount of the statement plus some pending activities over the phone at around {$1200.00}. I was also advised to put a stop payment on the missing check which I did. However the company informed me that the payment was actually processed despite being told that the payment was never received resulting in {$39.00} payment denied charge. On XX/XX/29 I have made 3 phone calls with the following results : Call # 1, the CSR couldn't locate the charge stating that it doesn't exist. When I questioned whether she was properly trained to even look up the account I was put on a very long hold to verify the info and then hang up on. Call # 2, I called the call center and after a long hold transferred to the supervisor, XXXX. After the verification, the call was subsequently disconnected by the supervisor without warning or cause. Call # 3, I finally called and after undergoing a verification process transferred to the supervisor XXXX. XXXX took many notes on the account and at the end informed that that regardless if there was a " miscommunication or not '' he doesn't have an authority to remove the {$39.00} charge. It is obvious that Barclays XXXX is doing business this way to accrue unnecessary fees. Not only after many problems I was finally sent a paper bill which I requested for weeks, and now the company is misleading the consumers on whether the payment has been received on not. The transaction log shows that by the time I was told the payment was not received it actually was received but not processed. That's the reason I opted to pay in full while putting a stop payment on the check that should have been processed to begin with.
