  Adam Cannon (@adam_cannon) reported 5 minutes ago from Barnet, England

  And now 50 mins. I don’t get how @BarclaysUK call this a customer service team or service when no one answers, you are left on hold interminably and there is no time expectation management. At the beginning of the call, the message said the wait was 5/10 mins …

  @BarclaysUK Hi @Barclays, I am a Premier Account client and have tried during last 3 months to increase my credit card limit. Yes, 3 MONTHS !!! The app is not working. I call and they asked me to do it on the app. What a poor service.

  @BarclaysUK - worst customer service in the world. I now risk buyers withdrawing from house sale because waiting on you to do one simple task. Fed up of waiting on hold 40 plus minutes each time I call to chase you. A task you should’ve done 20 years ago!

  @BarclaysUK why did you suspend transfers with binance but not other exchanges if you are “protecting our funds”? Binance got insurance on funds, if anything, they are the safest exchange to buy crypto, yet you crack down on it. Hope everyone does the right move and switch banks!

  It’s completely bonkers that you’re increasing the Blue ‘Rewards’ fee to £5 which is the same amount as the reward! I mean what’s the point? Couldn’t make it up. It’s more of a slap in the face. Been your customer for 22 years!! @Barclays @BarclaysUK @BarclaysUKHelp

  David Frier-Murillo (@dfriermurillo) reported 4 minutes ago

  @BarclaysUK I paid £149 to Currys plc by mistake last year and I want my money back. What should I do? I need your help and support.

• 
  In bloom (@Inbloom1y) reported 4 minutes ago

  @BarclaysUK New terms and conditions opening the app on Apple iPhone does not show accept/decline option so cannot clear page to access account. Works on android, not Apple.

• 
  TJ (@teejwxm) reported 4 minutes ago

  Can someone please help @BarclaysUK? I’m unable to access my credit card account.

• 
  Justin Etheridge (@etheridge999) reported 5 minutes ago

  @BarclaysUK @BarclaysNews Board oversight matters. A titanium screw snapped after 8 months. I paid £2,000 under protest. @Barclaycard refuse my Section 75 claim using legally incorrect reasoning. Their own final response admits service failures. This deserves scrutiny.

• 
  Bill (@JetSetBilly) reported 6 minutes ago

  @BarclaysUK Is there a problem with your website? I cannot view my transactions via online banking.

• 
  Mike Turnpenny (@niyamawellbeing) reported 9 minutes ago

  @BarclaysUK my card has stopped working abroad (first time in 11 years…). Can’t speak with an advisor on the help. Please help. Thanks.

  James Roberts (@JamesRoberts330) reported 11 minutes ago

  Hey @BarclaysUK @BarclaysUKHelp how long do “Pending Transactions” normally take to appear on the Apple Pay Wallet transactions page?! New customer so just checking I’ve got everything set up correctly. Thanks. James 💙

  @BarclaysUK please can you help me cancel a card? I can't cancel it online as it's for an extra cardholder. Your telephone number isn't working

  @BarclaysUK about five years ago I was in a group looking at FinTech as a case study. The presenter noted how effective @monzo had been in pulling him personally into more and more of their services. Salary was the last thing he was still using his traditional bank for, and he was convinced that one day Monzo would make him feel comfortable putting that into their account, and he would fully leave his traditional bank. Following the most inept attempt at customer service, this might be the time to follow in his footsteps: close the account I've had with Barclays since they got me with the free whatever at university freshers week, and commit fully to Monzo. One increasingly wonders how the traditional high street banks expect to survive.
