Paying Barclaycard

Brie

Hey Grumpy!  Remind me please.  Was it simply the fact that you don't have paying in slips to post along with the cheque?

Yes.
Pay by phone today was 45 minutes.

Any other card, write a slip, cheque, envelope, stamp, box.  5 minutes tops.

Its not 5 Minutes though it is really? As you have to post it, then snail mail has to delivery it to Barclaycard who then have to process the cheque and wait for it to clear before applying it to your account which could take upto 10 working days in total.

Why can't you do a faster payment from your bank account this takes mere seconds and usually gets posted to your barlclaycard in about 30 mins from experience.

We have done all this in this thread before. The OP claims that his First Direct online banking never works.

If you're with First Direct just ring them up and say you want to pay your Barclaycard. They'll do it for you over the phone and take the money from your current account. All you have to do is to give them your Barclaycard number and the amount you want to pay.

That's what First Direct was invented for: telephone banking. 

Thank you.
I do use the telephone banking a lot. I didn't realise that I could pay the credit card in that way.
I'll certainly try this, it sounds easy, so hopefully it will be straightforward.

So you still havent tried this then?

Never have I read a thread where the OP insists on making life so difficult for themselves or somes up with so many ridiculous excuses as to why they can't do things like normal people do.

Have you not fancied getting round to finally sorting out the First Direct internet access issue then?

That is not a service they seem able to provide.
