My barclays account

They sent my contactless card to the wrong address!

I recently moved and was told by Barclays I had to tell them my new address in a branch. I did this and they typed it into an ipad. I then had a statement and paying in book e-delivered to me from a neighbour at a similar address - Barclays had written that down instead of mine. I informed Barclays of their mistake straight away and told them my correct address yet over a week later they sent a contactless debit card to the wrong address! Thankfully the person living at that address was honest and put it through my letterbox - had they not been it could have been a whole different story. After all this I discovered I could actually change my address my self online and had Barclays told me this to begin with I could have saved a loss of stress and hassle. This has really lowered my faith in this bank. Reviewed on: 7th February 2017

Slow and poor customer service

After informing then of my card being stolen and them not sending a new one causing me to default they have still not come back with a resolution after two months. I have spend hours trying to get through to someone with no answer and everyone I do get through to passes me on or cannot help, no ownership or decision making just to try save a few quid, well I will be moving my money and closing my account after this.
