How screwed up are barclaycard

I had a barclaycard initial which is now on my dmp with CFCs.
It's been on it for about a year now with a balance on £410.
When I get my statements it's said credit limit nil balance £410. Today I get a letter in the post from b-card saying because you have been good with your payments for X amount of time we have increased your limit to £900!!!! I've never had a card with more than £500 limit!! Plus they are giving me 15.9% apt which is a barclaycard platinum. Your new card should be with you within 30 days!!
They are off their heads. Just shows how no two departments bother conversing!!!
Hahaha!

You will probably not get it in the post.
The left doesn't know what the right is doing.0 -
Bloody odd. Will wait and see! They did acknowledge in the letter that I had been only making small, below normal amounts!0

Hi
I read a few similar posts last week regarding this. Now call me sceptical but could it be that Barclaycard have no valid cca and this is their way of getting your signature, also it is against CCCS rules to take out any further credit whilst on a DMP and no doubt Barclaycard know this.
If they do send you a new card it would probably be for the best if you return it with a covering note, it may also be worth giving CCCS a call.DMP mutual support thread member:3270 -
I'm not going to use it even though I am tempted
they haven't sent me anything to sign so they wouldn't have my sig!
Can't wait to see if they send the card.
Any one has barclaycard initial with 15.9%apr?0 -
I'd be very careful in case you jeapordise your DMP by having more credit available to you.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0

Yes yes I know this! Thanks

I think the whole reason this has happened is because for some reason the dmp has been overlooked and it just looks like I'm paying on time each month !0

Hmmm just found the other threads. Looks like they are automatically offering £500 more than the outstanding balance!0
-
Anyone else recieved a letter like this from barclaycard? Still haven't received card so not sure if they will send!0
