My son had this too mate, but only £30.99 but thats not the point, Barclays couldn't have been more helpful and they gave the money back 2 days after the forms were sent in. Which is suprising as many people say they had problems with them and getting there money back to them.

I'm still waiting for £430 from Barclaycard from around 5 or 6 years ago. Useless retards, ended up costing them an awful lot more than what they owed me.

I got a phone call from an adviser from my bank trying to be helpful the other day. He remarked that I didn't have a savings account (not one of theirs, at any rate) and that I really should move any spare money out of my current account where it would be "safe from fraud".

I replied that, if their current accounts are so risky, why have they just activated a £2,500 overdraft facility out of the blue that I neither wanted nor asked for.

My wife's bank spotted a £1 bet on an online gambling site, and immediately suspended the card.

Problem is, my bank have recently issued me with one of those farcical PIN machines for logging in to online banking. Normally I haven't got it with me when I think about checking my account so I'm ashamed to say it doesn't get checked as often as it should any more.

I can understand needing it before transfferring money, but I need the damned thing to log in and again when I try to make a transfer.

I quite like mine, and I only ever log on at home.

No, they said that they flag up anything outside of the pattern the card is normally used for.

It always makes me laugh when I speak to customers who say our fraud detection system is too sensitive
I just ask them would they prefer the fraud to happen instead

I must confess  I have complained about this to Barclays!

I didn't use my Debit card at all at the time apart from 1 payment every month to the local council, same day, same amount. Every month I had to call up because it was flagged as fraudulent use got a little frustrating in the end!
