Barclays Pinsentry Problem

I got my card reader today and I used it and put my pin in right but it has blocked my pin and says contact back! I cant afford to call the 0845 numbers and I live over 15 miles away from my local branch. Does this mean my card will be locked if I tried to go with draw cash?

    www.saynoto0870.com - you're welcome.

    Also, you did not put your PIN in correctly, if you did, the card wouldn't have blocked itself.

    To unblock the card you will need to take it to a Barclays ATM and use the Pin Unblock menu.

    If you cannot do that, then your only other option is getting a new card.
