While trying to help someone with memory problems who had lost their cards in their wallet we contacted Barclays to get a replacement card. I was using speakerphone so that I could hear the questions. All were answered except for the naming of a direct debit on the account. The account holder could not remember so I helped by reminding them of one that I knew about. I was told to take the speakerphone off and the person had to answer unprompted. The answer given following my prompt was not allowed. All my attempts to explain why this person needed help were dismissed in a very unsympathetic way. When I tried to complain I was told a complaint could only be lodged by the account holder. I repeated that the account hold was not capable of making such a call and hung up because I was so disgusted. I still do not know how this person can get a replacement card. Appalling service Barclays!
