  Laura Cook (@LauraVCook1980) reported 4 minutes ago from Hatfield, England

  @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 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.

  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 …

  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

  @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!

  @BarclaysUKHelp @Barclays @BarclaysUK I know chat support via app is being reset . So why force neurodivergent folk to call.? There's a msg us option but autoresponse says call. Why can't my query be solved with text/email? This violates access rights re: Equality Act. Is this unreasonable?

  Anybody else had to wait on @BarclaysUK @Barclays to release a charge on a property? Loan paid off 2 yrs ago! Been nearly 1 week since contacting them to get any positive response! Refinancing being delayed causing cash flow issues !!

  @BarclaysUK Recent Barclays premier customer, as my credit card didn’t work I was forced to use my Barclays debit card for a hold on a deposit for 2 rental cars. Over £30 for the hold and then removal of the hold x 2. Over £120. Tell me why I would continue to bank with Barclays?

  If you bank with @BarclaysUK then I suggest like me you consider moving your money somewhere else. I’ve been trying to get a problem sorted out now for nearly three days and guess what? Not resolved yet

  @BarclaysUK @HomeOfCricket Since you say your closing down online banking and any banks near us are closed down what does one do if they haven’t got a smart phone?

  @BarclaysUK I just updated my banking app on my iPhone & the login page for the passcode no longer shows that greeting that I set so that it would reassure me that it was the genuine site. Is this deliberate?

  @BarclaysUK dear Barclays, firstly I want to say I’m grateful for my mortgage I have with you. As my mortgage wasn’t straightforward at all and you approved it so thank you so I want to thank you for that. However I want to make a complaint about your member of staffs rather odd attitude with me over the phone today when I phoned customer services Firstly my card was frozen by yourselves totally out the blue for NO reason I just made a eBay transaction of £100 and I often shop at eBay. Now the customer service woman said Barclays had frozen my card because you detected fraud on my card. I confirmed with her there was no fraud all purchases were mine. I said to her that Barclays should notify their customers when cancel / freeze cards. She said yes we have texted you. I said no you haven’t but she kept disagreeing with me saying they had. THEY HADNT neither had they sent me any email notifying me of you freezing my card I was totally unaware of you doing this and why Now only through phoning up cust services did I find out you had frozen my card due to you suspecting fraud Now I said to the lady that’s fine you being secure for your customers. But I said it’s not good when customers are not notified. She was not sympathetic to my complaint and she had a abrupt manner and tone I wasn’t keen on her attitude Secondly if I was a mentally disabled person or elderly person and didn’t think to phone you or didn’t know how to get your phone number And I was out of my house no internet to get your number off Google Then I would have been stranded without use of my card and no way of knowing why or what to do That’s why I’m making the complaint so doesn’t happen to anyone else Your staff member had no sympathy with my valid complaint she had cold attitude I just wanted to make you aware of this
