Recently, I went to use my Barclay Rewards credit card only to have the purchase declined. I found that very surprising because I was n't contacted by Barclays before the decline. I was even more surprised since in an effort to reduce my credit card balances I used my entire annual bonus I received to pay down my total credit card balances by over 25 %. I made it a point to pay Barclays the most - I paid my card down {$900.00} on XXXX/XXXX/16 via eft. I also made a regularly scheduled monthly payment to Barclays, and do n't believe I was ever delinquent. 

When I got home on XXXX/XXXX/16, the same day of my declined purchase, I immediately called Barclays and spoke to a few individuals ( rep last name XXXX, ID XXXX and also XXXX, ID XXXX ) who simply said my account was closed due to negatives items on my credit report. 

Yes, I know I have some, but for Barclays to close my account AFTER I made a substantial payment to them and other creditors was devastating, and honestly I think disingenuous on their part. To make matters worse, I know their act of closing my account further damaged my credit rating! It should be noted that NONE of my other creditors closed any of my accounts and XXXX XXXX actually reached out to me to work out a payment plan that I also completed on XXXX/XXXX/16 AND they have reactivated ALL privileges on my XXXX accounts I have with them - despite the fact that I was previously delinquent on my accounts with them! 

The point is to demonstrate the totally disparate treatment I received from XXXX creditors - XXXX, XXXX XXXX reached out to me to resolve my issues, the other, Barclays, closed my account AFTER I made a substantial payment and without advance notice. Although the date of the notice that finally did arrive from Barclays, and it was dated XXXX/XXXX/16, I know for a fact it came days AFTER my purchase was declined. 

Ironically, just today, XXXX/XXXX/16 I received another notice from Barclays dated XXXX/XXXX/16 acknowledging my complaint, and giving me an XXXX to call. Now, why would I waste my time at this point when the damage is done?!
