Barclaycard Airtran A+ Visa Signature Promised me in writing 0% Balance transfer; gave me 0% for 2 months, then jacked up the rate to 28% interest. They stated other credit card company "Missed the Deadline for their 0% offer." Last state Philadelphia , Pennsylvania

A few years ago, I received a 0% credit card balance offer for 1 year from Airtran A+ Visa Signature Card (Barclaycard, Card Services).  After two months, I saw that they were charging me interest.  First, they told me that the other credit card company did not get the transfer in prior to the due date of "the 0% offer."  When I had the other credit card company provide proof that the fault was on Barclay's end, they stated that they would make certain that I got the 0% interest for one year as they promised.  I told them that I wanted a paper statement from then on.  They did not send me a paper statement, so I closed my account so they could not do an automatic withdrawal.  I sent them a paper check instead; it was sent before the next payment was due-ON TIME.  When they found out I closed my automatic withdrawal account, Barclay charged late payments (although they cashed the paper check prior to the amount due date).  The interest went up from 7%, 18% and now 28+% (I've lost count).  I became disabled, and I am only able to make the minimum payment.  On this last paper statement that I received from them, they stated that if I continued to make the minimum payment that the $12,707.16 that I owed would be paid off in 2,506 years and I would pay a total amount of $2,814,042.00.  I know that I am not the only one that Barclay has done this to.  I have never had another credit card company deal with me in this way.  Somehow, for those of us that have been ripped off by Barclaycard, we need to get a Class Action Lawsuit going on this company for getting away with fraud.
