I had few accounts with Barclaycard US and called them in to get my accounts closed. They then asked me to stay on with their company, in exchange for a retention offer, which they promised to put bonus points on my account, after some different charges I will put on my account. so I stayed on with them. However, I soon realized this was a gimmick, and they did n't even give me the chance to do so. it was just for them ; to be able to suddenly close it without notice, instead of me doing it, and to get it reported on my report as closed by credit granter, which is decreasing my credit score significantly. When I questioned them as to why they decided to grant my request to close it? their answer was since I drastically want over my credit limit. This is odd even if I would 've not have paid, as with every other bank either they do n't allow you to overcharge, or it 's no issue, especially weird of course after I paid already almost full balance. All this happened only after I warned them I 'll start litigation against them. since they were refusing to send a mid cycle update to the credit reporting bureau about a very large payment I made on the account right after the statement closed with a high balance, which is ruining my score as well. Despite the fact, that they did update right away the closure of my account done by them, even though it was still open on the closing date of the statement. They are not acting in good faith as every other bank would 've done to send an update to the bureau, even after I advised them of the damage it 's causing to my report having a large balance. They are also refusing to rectify the reporting as closed by consumer. I had a very big lost by using their cards above other companies, especially that they are not allowing me to redeem the rewards I legally errand by using the card and paying for it. In the past they also once in error stopped a check sent to me causing me damage. NEVER SEEN A BANK BEING SO STUBBORN NASTY!
