I can't stand this bank, I have had nothing but trouble. They have abused my trust by sending my endless streams of junk mail to my billing address, credit card offers, loans, mortgages, rubbish. My nearest Barclays bank have "Training Issues" which means I can't even transfer my money out of their hands and into my far more reliable Smile account. I tried to use the Barclays phone banking system and have been on hold for 1.5 hours before giving up, it seems that I can only ever get through to the phone banking people on a Sunday morning. I held great hopes for the internet bank service they were offering, but it uses PC based certificates thus you can't connect from anywhere else on the net, also they arn't even BSI backed!!! Useless. I will be sticking with Smile.. If only I could get a trained member of Barclays Bank to close my account. :-(
