Duplicate transactions - Barclays

TheGardener

Over the weekend I had 3 transactions (all debit card payments in local shops) duplicated/ debited twice on my Barclays acc - they were swiftly re credited and an apologetic text from them saying they had refunded them. It didn't cause me any problems with balance limits or anything but the combined value was around £100 so it had the potential to have caused a problem. I just wondered if anyone else had experienced anything similar recently?

Well to say where I live is 'in the north' is stretching geography a bit...but hey ho.

Hmmmm...it could have happened to me in the morning and then been fixed in the afternoon. How would I know if I never logged on during that time? Guess I'll never know.

The transactions were/are very clear on my bank statement. All transactions within a few hours of each other on the afternoon of 31st - clearly itemised being taken twice and show being put back in - then a text from Barclays apologising - followed by an email apologising. I couldn't help but know...
