Barclay..What a joke

They are in the business of playing with peoples credit.I guess my question here would be why open a account when your intentions are to close it as soon as its opened?And i am not really trying to hear that saying that they can do anything they want is their money.Well its our credit and is our life.Its a comon thing now this days with Mr 26% Barclay.I guess i am keeping my 9.99% PenFed card tight and warm. And i guess a little more respect as consumers

Re: Barclay..What a joke

LOL at the entitlement.

 

It's their credit, not yours - they didn't make you apply.

Re: Barclay..What a joke

So they opened the account and then immediately closed it?  What was the reason for them doing this?

Re: Barclay..What a joke

Oh boy. Not another post on a closer. I just got them in December. Did they give you a reason why?

Yea looks like another one.  Looks like Barclay's is off to a nasty start 2013.

Barclay is new account sensative so when you apply, get approved, they wouldnt know if you were going to apply for more credit after them. We make the choice to get new accounts and they have the choice to close any accounts that they lend.

Re: Barclay..What a joke

Two closed accounts with two different banks. ...hmm...something you're not telling us?

 

 

Cuz the whole US bank reason is suspect, but now you got another bank closing your accounts.  

 

 

There has to be a reason.  What has changed in your credit profile?  What are the real reasons they are doing this?

 

I can see one closing, but two closing is either a coincidence or something real causing this to happen to you.

I just seen that other thread about US Bank and there has got to be something else going on.

Re: Barclay..What a joke

Is the same reason because i had opened a autoloan and a credit card from Penfed/9.99% for the credit card and 1.45% for the autoloan

So both accounts from a single inquire.They say that i had 3 inquiries from shoping for autoloan

I know why some one would say inquiries sensitive lender but where is the logic on the fact shoping for a better rate is a bad thing

Re: Barclay..What a joke

no offense but I find it really strange two completely different banks shut you off for an auto loan..your definately either hiding something or something you may not be aware of but there is definately something red flagging the banks
