I applied for a credit card to purchase an XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX. I have made payments towards the card, just recently, I was charged accrued interest. This interest is causing financial hardship. My intention was to pay the card off within the alloted time, however, financial hardship prohibited me from doing this. My brother XXXX in 2012 and as a result, our family is sustaining financial hardship. My mother is attempting to remain afloat but the loss of his income has now had an impact on my mothers finances. All savings have been depleted. As a result, I have had to contribute financial support to my mom in order to meet everyday expenses. I have only XXXX credit card and this is with Barclay. I am hoping that Barclay will note that I have made the payments as required and when I have the ability, I pay more than the minimum payment. I would like to continue to maintain my credit card with Barclay and look forward to expanding a financial relationship with them. I am only XXXX years old, but due to the XXXX brother have now had to take on added responsiblities. Any compassion on the part of Barclays would be met with very much gratitude. I honestly did not know that the interest was going to be added or I would have made bigger attempts to pay a larger dollar payment. Thank you again for your understanding of my financial hardship.
