    I've been a customer of Barclays and Barclaycard for over 25 years. I have a good credit history yet when I applied for a loan when they headlined 5.6% last year, they came back with an offer at 7.7% which wasn't competitive. I wrote and spoke to Barclays but they refused to negotiate. They said 7.7% was their best offer so I declined and made other arrangements.
