  @AppleUK_ and @Barclaysuk - As a premier banking customer I get apple TV a benefit. It stopped working. You sign up via the Backays App. I get the error code MR014. I reinstalled app - still get this response. Speaking to both support teams you blame each other. Please sort it.

  WARNING: The @BarclaysUK Travel Pack is not fit for purpose. I'm currently stranded abroad in a legal emergency and the "Emergency Assistance" is non-existent. Paid for a service that leaves you vulnerable when you need it most. Avoid at all costs.

  @BarclaysUK @HomeOfCricket What about the abysmal design of a totally BLACK debit card? Yes I know you can ask for a high visibility card but who on earth commissioned a BLACK card that sits in BLACK wallets and purses. Good luck finding it in a dark pub or club if you drop it. Shocking customer disregard

  @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

  @Barclays @BarclaysUK , Worse Bank Ever ! Every day Having to Call them, >5 times in last ten days or so. They block the most redisclose of payments like to your energy provider, Or you shop for an hour in a supermarket to get to checkout and they decline your card, then block it after u check balance in a machine outside, to only then when you see you have money in there struggling to understand wtf is going on, you try remove the money then it kills the card. Every one knows how embarrassing issues like huge que waiting for me and my useless plastic. Then U have to apply new card.... "We actived the touchless payment so u can use it while you wait for new card", they say. Ordered card on 11th the card never turns up but a letter from them did. and supprize supprize u can use it in all the shops touchless other than the shops you want to use it". Great work guys..... @grok what do you make of these shenanigans, do you think a bank like this is fit for purpose ?

  @BarclaysUK My Barclays App greeting has changed but it wasn't done by me. I contacted Barclays help and they said I should update the app. However it seems I already have the latest version of the app. Any suggestions?

  @StuartMaggs @BarclaysUK Since we still had a working bank card, we moved all the money out - it was only a few hundred quid - in cash and opened an account with a different bank. For all I know the Santander bank is still sending stuff to the wrong address.
