Calling BARCLAY RECON Dept ALL DAY ?!

I cant stand Barclay RECON!  They are all very demeaning, in regards to credit issues and have caleld 15 times today!  I will call until I get a REP who raises my CL .. they did last month, but it took many calls.  I do not believe one should be punished for issues of the FAR past (6-7 years, about to age off!).  Myline is $1500, score 590-640 depending..  But they dont care about the score, they say!  CALL CALL CALL ?  I have heard of account closures but TBH I really do not care, I've already recon'd 20 times since December!  LOLOL!!!!  AND GO!

@Anonymous,

 

You are doing yourself more harm than good.  If you are saying you keep calling Barclays to demand a CLI, you can call and call and it is for them to decide as they are not obligated to give you a CLI. Perhaps, what I'd do in your case is take a step back and regroup my strategy on getting the CLI.  Research helps.. The credit game requires patience and it is OK to rant.  But take a step back, list why they have refused you the many times you have called and then plan a strategy.

If you tried hard enough, you could probably get your cancelled. Careful what you wish for.

Re: Calling BARCLAY RECON Dept ALL DAY ?!

Have you considered they may be noting your account each time you call?  Calling a 2nd or 3rd time for an additional opinion might make sense, but calling 15-20 times just screams out to a CCC "difficult customer" and "costing us a ton of money".

 

You rant that they aren't considering your score of 590-640, but I'd argue your current CL is very much in line with your scores.

 

I think some time and patience are what you need to get what you want.

Re: Calling BARCLAY RECON Dept ALL DAY ?!

Well, to all those offering real advice -- thank you.  To all those offering crude advice or rumpatoots, your "help" is not needed.  I believe I am due an icrease based on my high income ($82,000) as an NP, and my positive trade lines over the past 3 years.  ALL items are reporting as current, save 2 collections that are 7 years old, aging off soon!  So I will call weekly, until I am assisted.  If they close me out, so be it !  They won't get money from me !

I can promise you that they keep track alright.

 

They remembered like it was yesterday my pair of Recons from October when i called them Friday trying again for the Sallie Mae.

Call as much as you want,  I guarantee they have calls logs like I do at my workplace. 

 

2-3 times is OK and understandable but you are out of line..... accept reality for what it is!

Let the OP handle however they deem appropriate.

They have already posted that they would accept the consequences if any.
