My father, who struggles with a disability, is plagued by incessant nuisance calls at precisely 8.15 every morning - six days a week no less! It's utterly infuriating, and one has to wonder when somebody is going to take action to put a stop to this madness.

It's just like all the other reviews, and it's starting to get rather frustrating, to be honest.

Not quite sure what to make of this??? Maybe just respond to this and settle your invoice!

We reckon this is an automated service initiated by Barclaycard to give you a bell whenever you're looking to settle a payment. It definitely cuts down on their manpower. Once they identify that you've answered the call, they presumably redirect you to a human operator within their team?

I'm absolutely fed up with this situation now. It's the same old story - a mechanical voice chatting on about Barclaycard, followed by some nonsense about returning a call. We’ve been letting them go to the answering machine and then clearing all the messages. If anyone has any tips on how to block these annoying calls, I'd be really grateful. Cheers!

It felt very much like harassment, as this number was ringing me multiple times each day.

It appears that Barclaycard is attempting to reach you, likely because you might not have made a recent credit card payment, much like us!

We keep receiving persistent calls from this lot. The moment I answer, I'm met with a voice that has a distinct foreign twang. One day-perhaps in an ideal universe-Barclaycard will take control of these nuisance call centres, particularly from those tricky regions. They might even send their representatives over for a pittance, raising serious concerns about our safety. It’s alarming, considering they even have our date of birth! - gooner49

Had a right nuisance earlier today with a staggering 23 calls from Barclaycard! We’re up to date with all our payments, so it’s puzzling to get so many. The final one at 9:55 PM was particularly disruptive as it disturbed the kids’ sleep!

It feels like I’m on the receiving end of persistent annoyance, as this number keeps ringing me multiple times a day. It's becoming quite tiresome, to say the least!

Received several calls from this number earlier today. I finally answered, only to find it was an automated service claiming to be from "Barclay Card," with a rather robotic pronunciation of our name. They even requested various bits of security information, which only raised our suspicions. It truly feels like a scam! We believe this was deliberate; they appeared to have all our personal details, including our full names and both mobile and home phone numbers. Interestingly, the call dropped as soon as it was redirected to our voicemail. So, stay vigilant folks!

Today, we've been inundated with around twenty calls from this number, all claiming to be from Barclaycard, which is rather exasperating, to say the least. I contacted O2, and they informed me that they’re unable to block numbers on my behalf. Following that, I reached out to we-phone to find out what steps I could take to stop these calls. They advised me to either call 0845 0700707 or visit the website www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps. Hope this information proves useful to everyone!

I'm plagued by phone calls throughout the day, despite having repeatedly asked them to cease contacting me. I've lodged a complaint at www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/index.html and I strongly urge others to do the same.

How amusing it is that this number seems to ring us right when we've got an outstanding balance with Barclaycard. Quite the coincidence, isn't it?

This is definitely NOT a call from Barclaycard! I've been bombarded with more than four calls every couple of days from this number! What’s ludicrous is that I don’t even possess a Barclaycard! Honestly, steer clear of these calls. They're fishing for personal details with dubious intentions! If you happen to receive a call from them, make sure to report it to the authorities!

I've been inundated with calls from these pesky numbers over the last few weeks. Does anyone have any advice on how to put an end to this nuisance?

I got a missed call from this number while I was overseas. Just noticed it now.

Honestly, these folks are relentless! They seem to ring us around six times a day, and then there are three texts on top of that. To cap it all off, we’ve had two actual calls from a real person. I've had enough of this nonsense! Our mobile provider doesn’t allow us to block 08 numbers, which is just infuriating. I’m beyond frustrated-best not to engage with these callers at all!

I've encountered the same situation! If you don’t have a Barclaycard, just give them a bell on 0844 811 91. Skip any prompts and don’t input any digits-this way, you’ll connect directly with Customer Services. Simply provide them with your name and the phone number that’s been bombarded with calls, and they will take care of getting you off their list.

I got a call this morning around half past eight from a number starting with 08445. Are these types of numbers dodgy?

Like many others, I must say that I’ve never held any account with Barclays-it's just not my bank! I've been inundated with countless calls at all hours-day and night-as well as a barrage of text messages! It's incredibly frustrating and clearly has nothing to do with me or my banking activities!

I've been inundated with pesky automated calls from 0844 555 0800, requesting someone whose name is completely unfamiliar to me. After some investigation, it turns out to be those Barclaycard debt collectors. I decided to reach out to Barclaycard's Customer Services at 01604 230230 and was fortunate enough to speak to a lovely lady named Mumbi. She was incredibly helpful, took a look into the situation, and submitted a request via her system to prevent further calls. According to her, I should no longer be bothered by these incessant calls. If you're in a similar predicament, I highly recommend giving 01604 230230 a ring to get yourself removed from the 0844 555 0800 list.

I received a call from Barclaycard, and let me tell you, they seem to have no regard for proper business etiquette or decent hours! They ring at all hours, including weekend afternoons, which is beyond frustrating. Someone ought to put them in their place!

We received a call tonight… just a single ring and nothing more. We spooked them with True Ring. Honestly, it’s the best thing to happen since the invention of sliced bread! 😊

It seems that this call is from the Barclaycard team regarding outstanding payments or if you've gone over your credit card limit. If you don’t actually have a Barclaycard, it’s likely that someone else has misused your number to avoid receiving these notifications.

In essence, if you settle your Barclays bill, those relentless calls will likely cease. I’ve been receiving several calls from them daily. Unfortunately, I haven’t managed to pay my bill for some time, which is why they keep ringing me. I recommend steering clear of their payment methods; just use your regular channels instead.

I've just popped in a fresh SIM card from EE and, lo and behold, received a voicemail from this number almost immediately. Like others have mentioned, it claims to be from Barclaycard - not sure whether it’s genuine or not, but I'm quite baffled by a few significant points: a) The voicemail was left yesterday, yet I only activated the SIM card today. b) The SIM was likely inactive prior - how does one receive a voicemail on it? c) The voicemail even referred to a different person's name, despite the fact that this was a completely new, factory-sealed SIM. Could it be that someone at EE is unwittingly peddling their unassigned numbers to spam callers?

I've been inundated with calls and messages from this number, all looking for someone I've never heard of. I don't even possess a Barclaycard! I'm planning to pop into the bank tomorrow to get to the bottom of this confusion.

We received a barrage of calls from this automated system, which was quite vexing. Initially, when we contacted Barclaycard, they assured us that the number in question didn't belong to them. However, after enduring another wave of calls, we decided to give them a bell once more. This time, after what felt like a marathon 20-minute chat, they finally conceded that it was indeed their number, specifically from their Collections team. The gentleman we spoke to mentioned he could transfer us, which he did, much to our chagrin, as we learned the calls stemmed from them being unable to process our DIRECT DEBIT payment. We asked why they didn’t attempt a second collection, but they were rather vague in their response. In short, this number is confirmed to be linked to BARCLAYCARD, but rather than diving into that pricey line, it might be wiser to contact BCARD directly and ask for a transfer instead!

We suspect that this is an automated call from a service connected to Barclaycard, reaching out as soon as you're ready to settle your payment. It seems that they maintain quite a grip on their operations. Upon recognising what you've stated, will this then direct you to an actual person within your department?

I wish to bring to your attention a particular number that has been persistently contacting me. They've reached out a multitude of times and their tone feels rather menacing, almost as if they're trying to intimidate or provoke me. The messages often begin with the phrase: "THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR..." which is quite unsettling. I appreciate your help with this matter. Cheers, Serafim A.A.

For a good few weeks, I was bombarded by calls from this number, growing increasingly convinced it was some sort of scam. I considered ignoring it, but in the end, I decided enough was enough and reached out to Priya Thingalaya (believe it or not!) at Barclaycard via 08448119111. After a quick investigation on her part, she confirmed it was indeed their marketing team behind those annoying calls. I pointed out that I had no affiliation with the bank whatsoever, which made their attempts to contact me rather puzzling. Priya noted down my mobile number and name, promising to remove my details from their database and file a complaint for me. It was at that point I inquired about her full name and whether my phone call was being recorded, to which she responded affirmatively. I then made it clear that if I didn’t receive a written response regarding my complaint or if I received another annoying call, I wouldn’t hesitate to escalate the issue to the highest level of the financial complaint authority and loop in my MP as well! She quickly assured me I’d be notified about the outcome of my complaint. Thankfully, since that conversation, I haven't heard from them again, and now I'm just waiting for the promised letter which I'll gladly share with anyone interested. To all you folks out there: it really is worth taking a few minutes to ring that number and voice your concerns like I did. If enough people do the same, the bank might just think twice about harassing others in the future. Who knows, I might even consider reporting it to Watchdog...! Cheers, Alan

Maybe if you settled your bills promptly, this wouldn’t be an issue, would it? If you’re not responding, it’s only natural for these callers to keep trying their luck, isn’t it? Come on, think a bit!

We've been receiving a number of these calls over the past few weeks. How on earth do we put an end to this madness?

I've been inundated with calls from this number for more than two months, sometimes getting as many as twenty calls in a single day. Each time I pick up, I'm greeted by a robotic voice inquiring about someone I’ve never heard of. I've even fielded calls from actual people asking for the same individual, and when I inform them that I have no clue who they’re on about, they just hang up. It's becoming utterly maddening. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to put an end to this relentless nuisance? I'm really at my wits' end!

Is this number a con or what?

It seems that this number is associated with either Barclaycard or Mercers. You might be overdue or have overlooked a payment for your credit card-quite possibly. I’d recommend taking a look here: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?119374-Barclaycard for more insights.

Utter nonsense!

Has anyone thought about alerting the police regarding this? I’ve received countless calls today. We reached out to genuine Barclaycard representatives, and while they didn’t seem overly worried, they did confirm that the number in question isn’t one of theirs.

Received a rather robotic call today, requesting my name. Upon pressing '1', I was met with yet another pre-recorded message directing me to either dial a specific number or navigate to Barclays' website. It's a classic illustration of banking devoid of a personal touch, where customers are treated like mere numbers in a computer system. One can’t help but notice the stark discrepancy between Barclays' supposedly noble ethical stance on their website and the actual experience that unfolds. It seems that in the world of finance, nonsense has become the norm.

I've been inundated with incessant calls from this number, asserting that they're from Barclaycard. The funny thing is, I've never had a Barclaycard, nor have I ever been involved with that bank in any capacity. The automated voice keeps asking for someone by a name that means nothing to me. It's utterly infuriating, to say the least! They ring multiple times throughout the day, sometimes even late at night - I've received one as late as 11pm on a Sunday! To top it off, they leave annoying voicemails and seem to think five calls a day is acceptable. I'm absolutely fed up!

I received a call from this number, and it turns out it's linked to Barclay's debt recovery team. Apparently, I missed submitting my payment, prompting them to reach out to me.
