If you have a bank account with Barclays that you pay a monthly fee for, you’re paying for a Barclays Packaged Bank Account (PBA). It may have been mis-sold to you, and you may be entitled to compensation.
We can claim on your behalf, taking all the stress away, dealing with all the paperwork and dealing with Barclays directly so you don’t have to.
You can still make a claim if you’re still paying the monthly fee for the account, or even if you’ve closed or downgraded the account within the last 3 years.
Unsure if you’re entitled to compensation? Find out if you could qualify with our PBA checklist.
Over 10 million Packaged Bank Accounts are open today. Millions more accounts that have been closed may have been mis-sold.
Packaged Bank Accounts are the next big mis-selling scandal after PPI. PBAs are current accounts with ‘additional benefits’, typically insurance products covering travel, mobile phones and breakdown. These usually come at a cost of between £5 and £30 per month, adding up to hundreds of pounds a year.
Many banks have used unethical and strong-arm tactics to trick customers into paying for PBAs they don’t need. If you’ve been a victim of such a selling strategy, you could be entitled to compensation.
We make claiming easy.
Barclays Packaged Bank Accounts go under the name of ‘Premier Current Accounts’. These accounts have taken over from the original Barclays PBAs, known as ‘Additions Plus’.
The accounts all come with a range of added ‘benefits’, from worldwide travel insurance to gadget insurance, costing up to £17.50 per month. The bank is one of the worst offenders, receiving 3.4 complains per 1,000 customers. As a result, it has set aside a remarkable £250m to compensate customers who have been mis-sold PBAs.
Mis-selling of PBAs is merely the latest in a series of scandals involving the bank, which has had to pay an incredible £134m in fines over PPI mis-selling.
