Complaint narrative:
I had an open BarclayCard US Visa account that was closed due to the age of the account. After attempting to login to my online account to make payment I was locked out of my account, and soon after I began making my payments by phone. After a while, BarclayCard stopped allowing me to pay by phone, stating that the account was too old and that I would have to make payment via check or money order. Two weeks later managed to speak to a representative who was helpful in assisting me with payment. I made a payment of {$100.00} toward my account balance of {$1200.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, which was receipted on XX/XX/XXXX. However, I received an additional statements on XX/XX/XXXX which did not reflect this payment. Multiple attempts to contact the customer service lines have yielded an unavailable number, and a prompt stating that the call " can not be completed at this time ''. I would just like to be able to make my payments and insure that they are applied to my account.

Approximately 2 months after they filed suit against me, PRA finally got back to me by " responding '' to my previous requests for debt validation with a couple of copies of credit card statements that were totally not correct and were nothing different than the haphazard stuff they filed in court. Additionally, they called me while I was in the bath at XXXX XXXX When I told the guy who called that I didnt think he could call before XXXX, he totally lost it and started yelling at me and said why dont I " learn how to tell time '' and I said I know exactly what time it is because my son was just picked up by the school bus and I was looking at my phone and it said XXXXXXXX XXXX  He then asked where I was and I said I am in the bathroom taking a bath and he called me an XXXX and said " no, what city ''.

When I finally received what they called verification, it was vague and incorrect at best.
