    Hi there, ;)

    I would move on to the FOS, tell the FOS on the complaint form that you have heard nothing, 8 weeks is ample time, you can download and print a complaint form online, or ring to arrange to have one posted to you here:
    http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/consumer/complaints.htm

    Enclose any copies of correspondence you do have, good luck and please keep us posted.

    as Di says they are just fobbing you off ,go to FOS they are upholding around 90% of claims against barclays

    there is a good report out next month that puts them top of the complaints pile by a mile, so good time to act .

    If its over 8 weeks since you first complained then you now have the option of taking this to the FOS anyway. Its up to you if you give them longer cause once it goes to FOS they will most probably stop commumicating with you altogether.

    Barlcays are known for not replying in time limits so if it were me i would now go to the FOS if you prove its over 8 weeks since first complaining. You may be better to ring FOS and give them dates and details and see what they suggest.

    Good luck
