Weird credit on my credit card

[2dgreengiant]

So I went to stay in this hotel that had been arranged for me and they wanted my credit card to charge it £50 in case I broke something, it would be refunded to me at a later date so I gave them it and it was all good. Now knowing that credit card was maxed out they called me up during dinner and said that I needed to provide another card, as well so I provided them with a card that would work even though they never charged it.

The next day I got a call from Barclaycard (my credit card provider) and they said there was some unusual activity on my card that they would like to review with me. So we spoke on the phone for like 20 mins and he read out some transactions: Boots £3.29 approved, some payment company £60 declined, same payment company £90 declined, the hotel i was at £50 declined. Now as you can tell I was like wtf at the payment company charges that were DECLINED (remember that) so I said nah didn’t do these so he cancelled the card and issued me with a new one.

Now here’s where it gets weird, I checked using the online banking thing to see that everything was ok, I had the new card number in the top left of the screen but all of a sudden my £254 that I owed them was now £6 and ALL previous transactions were deleted. So it's as if they have wiped the account clean as well as the debt. Before this has happened but they never deleted any transactions and I still had to pay what I owed. Really really weird and I'm not too sure what to do, I'm going into the bank today to check what’s going on but I have not been charged anywhere and I have been credited with over £250 lol.

So yeah thought I'd share this with you

I have no problem in paying what I owe it was just really weird
