Barclay Card US XXXX XXXX XXXX 's business practices are horrifying. I requested a credit line increase recently and a few hours later was called by a customer service representative to " discuss '' this after being asked several invasive, inappropriate, irrelevant questions, then being lectured on credit use, I was still denied. I was asked questions about accounts that are no longer on my credit report, so he had to have been looking at old notes or something, and he was asking for " reasons '' behind what he described as " situations '', when I told him he snickered, then still denied the increase. I did ask him why it was necessary to ask those questions and he said to see if " the situations changed '', I expressed my opinion that it had nothing to do with the account I was requesting an increase on and he said that was for him to decide, and that he needed to see me be responsible longer and then we could talk about it later ... .as if I was a child. He talked down to me the entire conversation, in fact his tone was combative from the minute I picked up the phone, it was awful and embarrassing. I am not some loser that does n't pay her bills and being treated that way is outrageous!
