Barclaycard reviewing claims?

Hi folks,

Come home from work to find a letter from Barclaycard saying they're reviewing my claim from 2007 about a Platinum card with PPI I took out in 2003.

Has anyone else had old claims re-opened?

They've asked me a bunch of questions about what job I was in at the time and so on and said they'll be in touch with a decision.

It's come out of the blue and I'd completely forgotten all about it. I was unemployed and 7 months pregnant at the time (and stupid, hence taking out a credit card with no means of repaying it at the time). I wonder if it will come to anything in the end.

I was wary of a scam but called Barclaycard direct and they've confirmed it's been re-opened, and that a few cases are.

    hundreds of thousands of people have.

    Difficult to give any indication as we have seen posters that have said their review didnt change the outcome and others that said the outcome changed.

  • Ahhhh I see. The lady at barclaycard made out that it was just a selection of cases that had been re-opened. Thank you for clarifying for me.
