Learn what Barclays lawsuits are out there, and how to take action…
Barclays is such a colossal business that it is hard to find investment opportunities that don’t have ties to their bank. With offices overseas too, it is no wonder people ask about Barclays dispute help. 
If you have issues like Barclays hidden fees, you might contact Barclays customer service, but find that this results in hours on hold and no resolution. So what next? Now you can file a complaint against Barclays. But what about lawsuits? Can you sue Barclays?
When you look at your user agreement with Barclays, you’ll probably find that the small print doesn’t let you sue Barclays except in small claims court because of an arbitration clause. This can be expensive and time-consuming which is why consumer arbitration is a great alternative.
A class-action lawsuit is meant to bring a group of individuals together who all have the same complaint. However, if you have an arbitration clause in your contract you might not be able to join a class action lawsuit or file one.
Sometimes you might still see lawsuits against big banks like Barclays that are usually brought on behalf of government agencies who have more options than most consumers.
The first option you have as a Barclays customer for a lawsuit is a small claims court case. Small claims court only works for qualifying cases, and the qualifications vary depending on your state. You have to pay court fees, file the right paperwork, and go to a court hearing.
Alternatively you can use something like consumer arbitration to argue your case before an independent arbitrator who can force Barclays to fix the problem and give compensation.
