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! 😊

Got a call from these people saying they were from Barclaycard about missed payments or going over the card limit. Thing is, I dont even have a Barclaycard! Looks like someone’s using my number so they can dodge these calls. Proper sneaky if you ask me.

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.

Just put a fresh EE sim in my phone and almost straight away got a voicemail from this number. Like a few others have mentioned, they say they're from Barclaycard - no clue if that's legit or not, but there are some weird things going on here: 1) The voicemail was dated yesterday, but I didn’t even have the sim back then. 2) The sim was probably not even active yesterday, so how could there be a voicemail waiting? 3) The message included another person’s name, even though this sim was brand new, still sealed from the factory. Makes me wonder if EE might be handing out unused numbers to spammers or something? Feels a bit dodgy.

This number keeps ringing me and sending messages for a person I don’t know. I don’t even have a Barclays card! I’m planning to pop into the bank tomorrow to try and figure out what’s going on.

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?

Can someone pls help me report this number? They keep phoning me loads of times and it feels like they’re trying to intimidate me or something. They just say stuff like: "
-THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ......" which is really annoying. Cheers,

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?

For the past couple of months, this number won’t stop ringing my phone, sometimes blowing up my line with more than 20 calls a day. Every time I pick up, it’s some robotic voice asking for a person I’ve never heard of. Occasionally, actual people call asking for the same individual, but the moment I say I don’t know him, they just hang up. Does anyone know how to get them to quit? It’s really starting to annoy me a lot.

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!

I’ve been getting calls from this number for over three months now, and it feels like nonstop harassment from Barclays. Just within two hours recently, they rang more than 24 times on both my mobile and home phone, often early in the morning. It’s getting ridiculous. My kids, who are quite young and have school, are being woken up by these calls and sometimes even fall asleep in class because of it. I can't imagine how this must affect people who aren’t able to stand up for themselves like I do. It’s taken ages to get anyone to actually do something - waiting around 16 hours for a callback in the third month is just not good enough. I’m seriously angry and now I’m thinking it’s got to be taken up with the FSA, the Watchdog, and even my local MP because this is just unacceptable.

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.

Got an automated call asking me to say my name, then when I pressed 1, it just threw another recorded message at me telling me to ring a certain number or check Barclays' website. It's a classic case of cold, robotic banking where customers feel like just some numbers in a system. If you check out their website, they boast about high moral standards, but their actual conduct couldn't be more different. Honestly, financial services seem to be drowning in nonsense these days.

This number keeps ringing me, saying they’re from Barclaycard. Thing is, I’ve never had a Barclaycard or anything to do with that bank at all. The automated voice even asks for someone I don’t know. They’re really persistent, calling multiple times daily, even late at night like after 11pm on a Sunday! They also leave messages and ring me about five times each day. Honestly, it’s so frustrating.

I got a call from this number and it turned out to be Barclay’s debt collectors. Apparently I missed sending my payment on time.
