Barclays juniper bank Balance Transfer Pending, but still charged me the money it has been years Wilmington , Delaware

 I was solicited by Barclays in October of 2006 to do a balance transfer with 0% for 6 months. The transfer was supposed to be between Barclays  and American Express. American Express claimed they never received the transfer, and barclays claimed they sent it.

I was immediately being charged by Barclays for the U$5000.00 however american express has never received this money. I have made hundreds of attempts to get AMEx barclays on the phone to work things out; no luck there.

Once I go through to a "corporate contact" in a New York Office who told that my account shows balance transfer pending which meant that they had NOT received a confirmation of payment number form the "CheckFree" the company use to pay the Other side , in my case AMEX.

The person further speculated that the likely hood is that it never got done.

After 4 years, and multiple times paying of this money, my account still says balance transfer pending, meanwhile I may have picked a fight with the wrong side.. and refused to Pay AMEX the 5K. In hind sight I wasn't there fault and they should be responsible for finding the payment send by barclays...

looking through these complaints, it seems I am not alone.. other please have this same issue with balance transfers not going through but still being charged.
