Barclays Bank blocked my card — how can I dispute fees?

If Barclays blocked your card and you’ve been charged fees because of it, you can dispute those charges by reporting the situation to Barclays as part of a formal transaction or fees dispute.

Barclays will stop and refund any fees, interest or charges that resulted from a fraud query or disputed transaction while they investigate your case.

Start by contacting Barclays through your app, online banking, secure messaging, or by phone and explain clearly that the card block was unjustified and led to fees.

If the charge relates to a specific transaction or incorrect amount, you can raise a dispute online, in the app, or by using Barclays’ dispute form with evidence like statements and receipts; this often triggers a refund of the disputed fee during the review.

If Barclays refuses your dispute or you’re unhappy with the outcome, don’t hesitate to share your story here.
