  • contacted by email

    Hi there,

    what are your thoughts on this one.

    I have contacted Barclays via email(written form) asking them to supply copy of contract(t and c). However Barclay card have replied via email and state that they will not proceed with my request because they say i have to register on their secure site first.

    Does not my email constitute written request.

    Always best to use Hardcopy and snail mail for official correspondence of this type.
    You can't beat a good papertrail.

      + they need £1 for a CCA request or £10 for a full SAR (which should include the agreement)

        Thanks guys for that information, i have already requested this information on the 13 April 2010, in writing and recorded mail, which i have seen was delivered and signed for by Barclay's. I have copied the Royal mails electronic receipt from their web site.

          Hi roksee,

          I am with curlyben on this and from now on I would ONLY correspond with Barclays/Barclaycard by Royal Mail preferably recorded/signed for, although it is acceptable to just get a receipt for ordinary postings. From now on never sign a letter with your own signature, I just print my name now and never sign anything.

          Another thing from experience, now that you have registered your disatisfaction with the Barclays coven formally, it would be very sensible to move any banking you have within their groupings to another bank/building society NOT in their group, and divert all incoming funds to that new account immediately. Our cards were fully paid up at the time but they still stripped our busienss account because they claimed they had "made a mistake and lost the last two payments" on one card. The account was already OD and this took us ovber the limit and they even tried to charge us for the privilege! We got the money back but it took a very angry scene in the local crowded branch to do so.

          regards
          garlok
