Great... until something goes wrong

Generally no problems, but someone did use my account to make 3 pricey deliveroo orders. I had barely had the card a few months, and am exceptionally careful with my details. However the letter I received from Barclays over my experience was frankly insulting. Despite responding 'N' within seconds to their 'Did you make these payments Y/N' text, and receiving a confirmation reply, they insisted by letter that my text reply and subsequent phone calls had not happened, and on this occasion they had decided to give me back the money taken, but made it very clear that they believed the transactions were genuine only because I apparently hadn't responded.
