After being a Barclays customer since 2014, I would have liked to have given them a Zero star but I am, sadly, unable to. I was helped to open an ISA and not given more advice than the basic ISA on opening my original accounts. On going to a branch in 2022 (what is a branch???), I was given advice to open a fixed rate ISA instead and did so. As there are VERY few branches now open and my fixed rate ISA is maturing, I sought assistance online - outdated and inaccurate (do I need to do this online or contact Barclays? What is exactly the current interest rate?). I spent nearly an hour trying to get through their "automated" systems that are unable to comprehend a two syllable "mother's maiden name" and I have no accent at all. The automated system is also unable to comprehend ISA. After being cut off several times, I got put through to 3 separate departments until I got through to the ISA department. The "assistant" repeated so many times "If that is what I wanted to do and was I sure that is what I wanted to do" - I felt that either I shouldn't do this or that he couldn't be bothered to transfer my maturing ISA to a new one. I then went to the "pop-up Barclays" which is about a 15 minute walk away from the high street and signposted by a wavy flag stabilised with a water weight on the ground - this is innovative as it used to be a blackboard that the staff (one) used to write offers on. On entering the pop-up bank, I was confused by the amount of advertising and finally spotted a paper, computer print out "Entrance" on a board and made my way to the door. I opened the door to be confronted with "I am with someone!". This is not professional, not a banking system that I feel confident in entrusting my earnings or savings with and certainly not a bank I will be staying with. I have changed my bank this week - I had to walk around the town to ask the remaining banks what their terms were, how long they envisaged having a presence in the town so that I could speak with them. Despite this, there is a limited time that the banks will spend with their customers and then we get sent away to do it all online. Regardless of whether their software is supported by our gadgets - my phone will not accept some of the new banks software!!!!! NOT MY PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!! I will go back again and again until the issues I have with MY MONEY are dealt with in a professional manner - I am unable to do that with Barclays.

Pain was the most regrettable thing and people I have ever done business with; they gradually drained me of everything I had until I was left empty and without anything. Eventually, I was introduced to C=O=V=S=E=C=L=T=D=C=O=M, who helped me get my money back and gave me hope for the future.

Barclay sucks. I have been a customer since 2007. In more recent years I have rarely used credit cards because I’m happy to say I don’t need to use them. In September Barclay said because I do not use my card enough they were cutting my credit limit from $14,000 to $5000. So in October, I made a purchase on my Barclay’s card to shut them up. In November, I wound up in the hospital where I was for over three weeks and during that time my Barclay’s payment came due. I did not receive any kind of notification from them until the beginning of January. At which point they told me the payment was past due. I checked all email accounts as I am faithfulness and I received no kind of notification about this first statement being due in the first place. I called them to discuss this with them because I was in the hospital and I had no proof that I ever received The first billing notification. They basically said too bad. Then I got a notification from the credit bureau saying that because of my delinquent payment, my credit was going down 91 points. Today I received a letter from Barclay saying due to my delinquent payment. They were raising my interest rate and cutting my credit limit to $500. I am 67 years old. This is the only payment I’ve ever not made on time or ahead of time in my life. They don’t care. So I just called the company and told him where they could put their credit card and canceled the account. I will never do business with them again ever and I will let everybody know what a horrible company they are.

Happiness and Joy can't express exactly how i feel now after recovering all what i lost to this investment scammers who took everything from my retirement savings, I was even so scared to tell my children about it for almost five months, not until i met my highschool mate at the bus station near the metro downtown and discussions led me to mention my problem and she gave me solution to it. She introduced me to TheresachinRecovery INC, these guys here at TheresachinRecovery INC gave me a very amazing and professional support after contacting them with Email: t h e r e s a c h i n 1 2 1 2 @ g m a i l . c o m Call/WhatsApp: +  1  4  3  5  5  0  0  8  3  0  4  they helped me do my recovery and i got everything back even with a little extra due to the rates/inconveniences. If anyone here has the same issue, do not hesitate to reach them. Remain Blessed!

Can the victims get their money back? Yes. If you have been the victim of an unregulated binary options scam or any scam at all then you are 100% eligible according to the law to recover what was stolen from you. With the right approach and evidence of the fraud you were a victim of, you can recover back your Bitcoin. Those behind the binary options scam want to sell the idea that what happened to you was an ‘unfortunate investment’ when in reality what happened to you was theft via an elaborate scheme. If you are a victim like I was or know a family member or friend who is a victim of binary options fraud, you should speak to a financial fraud recovery expert – it is not too late to recover your money. You can contact her via Email: charlotte scotte 24 @ gmail.com WhatsApp: +1---(504)---249----9337

I paid a significant amount of money based on their promise of full reimbursement, but unfortunately, I received nothing in return. I was misled into depositing my hard-earned savings with the expectation of a return, but I was prevented from withdrawing my funds. It seems their intention was to simply take my money. Thankfully, with the help of SPECTRUM-CREST rec()very experts, I was able to rec()ver my funds. I would recommend contacting them for assistance; I believe others may find their services beneficial. I have also filed a refund claim.

I would give 0 stars if I could, actually negative stars. I bought a tablet through finance, just so I can raise my credit score, so I paid in advance, but I also requested for them to take the usual payment every month. So I can finish faster, well I look today , they didn't took the payment, I had to call them, to tell them they are 💩, their system can't even take the payment on the day. From now on they will have to chase me for every payment.

Please don't open Barclay's account. If you need to update , they will take ages to fix it. Every time we call them, they are saying same thing . No update

Very rude staff! The assistant manager did not introduce himself. He opened the door and then threw me out, before I could withdraw the money. Your racist attitude towards immigrants is unacceptable. Southend on Sea High Street Branch

I can't believe I fell for this GlaxoTrade scam, but thankfully Spectrum-crest had my back and helped me retrieve my money. I was so frustrated and angry when I realized what had happened, but their customer service team was amazing. They guided me through the process of reporting the scam and provided me with valuable advice on how to protect myself in the future. It's such a relief knowing that there are companies like Spectrum-crest out there that are willing to help people like me who have been taken advantage of. I am forever grateful for their assistance and support during this stressful situation. If you ever find yourself in a similar predicament, don't hesitate to reach out to Spectrum-crest they truly care about their customers' well-being.

I am very disappointed in their services and this got me really bad in state of mind, because I literally trusted them with my capital like you all did and the moment I needed to take out my money all I could get is declined severally mails sent to them and they never responded to a single one when talk to the customer services I was told to pay more money in other to initiate my withdrawal. I surf through the internet and found this Chargeback company SPACETEL-CAPITAL and they got back my capital in 1 week after forth and back but it was successful at the end..

To entice you in and collect your deposits till the very last penny, they will use any means at their disposal. By discovering COVSECLTD.COM, my quest to retrieve my money was ultimately successful. In a matter of one week, COVSECLTD.COM completed my case with prompt professionalism and obtained my full reimbursement.

Terrible customer service, their app is absolutely useless, you can never reach anybody and the simplest task takes several days to resolve. Waste of time, please do not bother and go to a bank that is more reliable and actually cares about their customers.

I was tricked into investing with some online cryptocurrency brokers, and they took almost 120,000 GBP worth of bitcoin. With the assistance of the authorities desks at ~Authorities.wiki~, I was able to get my money back from them. Therefore, it is best to avoid making investments online without prior research.

I'm sharing my experience with the hope of helping others. After falling victim to a devastating crypto scam, I lost $150,000. Despite trying various companies, none were able to assist me. On Aug 20, 2024, I received a call from Anderson, claiming to help me recover unclaimed crypto transactions. However, clicking a link he sent led to another significant loss. Feeling helpless, I discovered ( dorisashley71 (@) gmail. Com.), which had excellent reviews. Desperate for a solution, I contacted them. To my surprise,Doris Ashley successfully recovered my stolen funds within days. If you've been scammed online, don't lose hope. Mrs. Doris Ashley can help, regardless of the platform. Reach out to them for assistance. Email dorisashley71 (@) gmail. Com. WhatsApp+1---(404)--721--56--08
