Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card with chip issued by Barclays Bank that I have used for several years for traveling. I use the card sporadically, mostly for stays at XXXX XXXX  and hotels. In XX/XX/year>, while looking at my credit card transactions online, I saw a message from Barclays that possibly fraudulent transactions had been detected on the card and was instructed to call their customer service line. I checked the transactions that had been posted to the account, and found that about {$2000.00} of charges had been made to the card at businesses in Massachusetts. I live in Utah and had made no purchases with the card for several months. The customer rep opened a fraud case on their end and canceled the card. After a couple follow up calls, I managed to get all the fraudulent charges credited to my account. However, today I am informed that Barclays ' fraud investigation has concluded that the charges were in fact valid and that they would be reinstated to my account. I made another call to them and found that they consider the fraud transactions valid because, according to them, the physical card was supposedly used for the charges. This is not possible, but what can I do to convince them otherwise. The pattern of the purchases is clearly fraudulent, e.g. six gas station charges at the same store in one day. However, they are not budging. What can I do?
