I got a helpful review indeed. First in formost Walmart is stupid for combining with Capital One. Walmart was perfectly fine without it. It's dumb that I am forced to use this sorry excuse of a credit card system because I go to Walmart. Secondly, Capital One is trash. I have never seen any credit card system force you to pay before 8 pm. Aren't they supposed to make you feel comfortable paying them? Like CITI does? Last but not least, everyone who is looking to using Captial One, I suggest CITI. I've had better experience with them. TLDR: Capital One is trash, use CITI.

I have been a customer of Capital One for about 10 yrs and may I add to it I've never been late. I called capital one during this time of the Covid 19 and ask if I can have my interest charged waived because I lost my job. Their answer was "NO. There is nothing I can do." But I called Discover and ask the same question, Discover did accommodate my request and waived "ALL" interest charges since February. Capital One you're garbage and inconsiderate of your loyal customers that need help during these time. I highly recommend anyone looking for a credit card to APPLY FOR Discover. They rock.

As a person affected by the coronavirus, I was unemployed as of March 19th 2020. I maintained my account with Capital One and once I received unemployment in May I begin to pay off my cards, including this one. I paid my card in full on June 12th, but on June 17th I received an interest charge. As a customer of 6 or 7 years and now with a balance paid in full, I asked for a courtesy to waive or credit my account on June 18th to two representatives. I was told no by the first representative and then asked for a manager. I was given to a supervisor who was rude and told me I cannot speak with a manager and that they would not do anything for me even with me being a long time customer who is unemployed and had just paid the card off in full.
I will never use this card again so they will not get any more of my money. They are always unreasonable and I wish I never signed up for this card. Not customer friendly at all. And for someone who has lost their job due to the virus they should have been flexible to do something for me whether it was only 22.00 of interest, that is 22.00 that is hard to come by now that I used a huge chunk of my unemployment check to pay them off.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing this review because Capital One has revealed itself as a company that just cares about their bottom line, and harming customers with excellent credit history. My spouse has fallen victim to Capital One's abusive credit scams. First, my spouse had a balance of $16 and had a small transaction posted each month on this card for five consecutive months. Do you know that she forgot to check because of the impact COVID-19? Genuinely she forgot. She was informed of a credit decision made by Capital One, and they reported her account as a delinquent for the previously mentioned balance. She had a credit limit of $500, and she paid it off. No courtesy emails and just automated messaged.
Second, the delinquency lead to her credit card, Discover, to be permanently closed and impact her credit score to the point that she cannot get any new loans.Third, did I mention that she has been a customer for four years? Yes and never missed a payment until recently. Today, I am putting this testimony because when we contacted a supervisor they said they could do nothing, and we could dispute the decision, which could be reviewed months later. Everything that has been said here is completely accurate, and we are responsible consumers. Capital One was my wife's first credit card and now we will close our account because we have been targeted for whatever reason. Irresponsible and abusive practices by this institution.

Stay away from Capital One. They do have 0 professionalism, I got my credit card and have not received my pin. Called Capital One to generate pin and reset my pin. I was on the phone 2 hrs. I was throw out from one Department to another one like ball. At the end they said can't do this. Do not get any products from them. Never.

I have come to this site for a very good purpose. And that purpose is to warn other good responsible customers not to get involved with Capital One Credit Cards. I didn't apply for a Capital One card account, I inherited from another good company name Synchrony Bank. They managed my Walmart card very well. Now Capital One is the manager and it's just terrible. They are dishonest, unorganized and uncaring. I used my Walmart card to order kids furniture for Christmas. Once arrived the furniture was defective. I called Walmart and they stated they would send second furniture and credit my account. Once second furniture arrived the headboard was missing and was told that this piece of furniture wasn't for sale and shouldn't been shipped out to me. They stated they would have all the merchandise picked up and my account credited.
Two months later I was still calling Walmart about this problem because I needed my money. I called Capital One, they tell me it's nothing they can do and I need to go back to the merchant to work this problem out. I ended up turning to the BBB Agency. After this complaint, Walmart refunded my money. Capital One saw where Walmart refunded my money and they began to say they refunded the money also and stated that I owed them half of the amount Walmart refunded. All of this is untrue. I never put a complaint in with Capital One because they never wanted to put the time into the problem. This is Capital One way of taking advantage of the customers because they feel like they can financially abuse their customers. Please be aware of this company. They don't care about their customers. And they will never, ever listen to you. YOU BETTER RUN.

I had been with Capital One 360 for years, ever since it was ING Banking, and I used it for so long because it was a convenient option for saving money. I always thought that the service was convenient, until last year when I had to jump through several hoops in order to open up a credit card with them. Capital One 360 made me verify my identity online because I couldn’t verify it via phone line on account of the fact that I live in China and have been living here for almost seven years. I told the employee this and there seemed to be no problem with where I lived, but the verification process took days to process and ended up being declined because I needed more documentation that I could’ve originally provided had they told me.
Then I transferred money from my Chinese bank account to my Capital One 360 account and then transferred that money to a friend’s account, which I connected to my account. After I transferred the money, my account was frozen and I had to call the company in order to unfreeze it. This was an arduous task in which I I got disconnected twice and had to call the company again, only to redo the verification process that I had completed earlier. After nearly two hours, they finally told me what the problem was.
At first they asked me about the money transfer to my friend's account. They said that I couldn’t connect an account if the other account wasn’t under my name, to which I told them that I couldn’t wire transfer the money on account of the convoluted interface on Capital One's webpage, so I linked the two accounts instead, seeing that I trust my friend. This didn’t seem to be the main problem though, as I was told afterwards that Capital One 360 is purely a domestic bank.
When I told them I never had a problem transferring money from my overseas bank account, they said that it was against company policy. I even told them that I called the company before and notified them that I live in China, but the only response I received from Travis in Security, the third gentleman I spoke to, was “how long do you plan on living in China?” What he meant was, if I don’t live in America, then Capital One 360 is off limits for me. Without providing me with any other option, I had to close out both of my Capital One 360 accounts.
Capital One 360 puts on this facade of convenient banking, but the customer service representatives are incompetent, rigid, and expect the customers to arbitrarily jump through hoops because “it’s company policy”. If it wasn’t a problem that I lived overseas for many years while using Capital One 360, then why is it a problem now?

I highly doubt I'm the only one who's experiencing this as I am sure there are thousands of other U.S citizens who temporarily live outside of the U.S and do not have U.S phones. I haven't had trouble accessing my accounts online until fairly recently when they eliminated the option to be verified via registered email address. Instead it now keeps redirecting me to verify myself by receiving a code to a registered phone number. How am I supposed to review my credit card statements and my credit score when I'm being denied access simply for not having a registered U.S phone?
I understand that some measures are taken to improve online security. However, whoever is in charge of security needs to take on responsibility from their ends, not relocating their responsibility to the customers' ends. Simply limiting ways to be verified in order to increase level of security instead of developing/writing a better and improved security software system is lazy work at best and inconsiderate of convenience of the customers! Please consider customers like me who have been loyal for several years who do not have registered U.S phones, and reconfigure your security measures to give back to people like me our online access to our accounts.

Good afternoon to all the people who use Capital One. Just to let you know they made the worst bank list in New York now. Let me explain. We are in the midst of a pandemic. People are not working. People are still staying home and some are disable like me. And because my account was overdrawn they have the audacity to charge you $35 with people still unemployed and people starving and as I explain to the representative my wife is a front line worker a nurse so I asked is there any remedies for Frontline workers or disabled people and they told me no so in my opinion this is a bank That doesn’t help the community. They suck the blood out of the community “” so you decide what bank you would like to use because capital one is not the one!!!

I paid off an auto loan and credit card in full that had previously had a past due balance due to a job loss. I sent a request a request to Richard ** to have the auto trade line removed from all credit reports, because the Capital One credit card trade line was removed. The deletion was needed due to secure a new home after being told by the owner of my home I had less than two weeks to move or he’d have as many people as he chose to enter the home during COVID19 without masks and expose my health to anyone carrying the virus.
The request was denied I was told by Capital One and I will be filing a lawsuit. One division shouldn’t be able to delete a trade line and another can’t when you’re the same company. Capital One is not recommended for having no compassion for customers who have in good faith paid off accounts. I have also experienced what others have with sudden closed revolving credit card accounts with no knowledge about why it occurred.

I was approved for a Capital One platinum card. Received the card and made 4 purchases on it paid all of the purchases off in the amount of 72.00. I was told the account was closed by Credit One because my bank disputed and denied a duplicate charge made on the account. This was in March. I then receive a statement saying I owe 96.53 for interest, past late fees but when I call the account is closed.
I dispute it out again with them telling me if I pay it they will clear it off my credit report which had already dropped it by 63 points. So I pay the 96.53 it cleared to be told that because I paid it before the due date 6/16/2020 and did not get an end of card finalization I was accruing interest in the amount of .69. So I said pay it in which the response I got back was "Ma'am we can't because you have a zero balance!" Well no duh....I have paid 168.53 on card closed 5 days after receiving it!!! Will never get a credit card from this company again and now I have to dispute my credit report on top of that!! Angry is saying it nicely!!!

I have been a Capital One member for over 30 years. I had an emergency in my home and needed repairs, I decided to use my Capital One card for $3,000 it was declined! I didn't understand why because I had plenty of credit and I have never missed a payment however when I called the company to find out why the transaction was declined they told me I had not made the payment. After looking further at my records they realize the payment was made but I was short by $4 on the payment. Well that was a mistake on my part because I mixed up my money orders.
I asked the clerk if she could approve the transaction because the work was done and I needed to pay the electrician. She told me she was not able to approve the transaction unless I made a payment over the phone for the $4 and then at that time she could approve it for the following day. I was having a crisis and Capital One failed!!! EPIC FAIL. I have a credit score of almost 800. I have never been late, I have never missed a payment, and I have never been over my credit limit. How could this have happened!?!? Needless to say I will not be using Capital One ever again. I have since destroyed my card.

I contacted Capital One today after paying off a large credit card debt 2 weeks ago. I had gotten a bill for $67.00 in interest. I had lost a job in March due to the virus after 19 years of employment. I borrowed money from my family to pay off the card so I wouldn’t have more bills to worry about without my income. I got ahold of someone finally after about 30 minutes of holding.
Since I had been a great customer for 15 years I assumed they would help me out and waive the $67.00 interest due to my financial situation, loyalty, and on time payments. Guess what, I got bounced to 2 different people and I was so shocked that they were not willing to do anything. What a horrible company. I am closing this account and I will never deal with them again. I have a credit score in the low 800’s. This was the only company that was not willing to work with me, all of the others were so gracious and wanted to help. Capital One does not care about their customers.

I think this is a sorry excuse for a corporation To give no due process to the consumer that they are doing adverse action on an open account of theirs to me. This is irreconcilable. They also told me, "Well this account cannot be re-opened." I used to have very high regard for capital one but no longer. I’m in process of moving any balance to AE.

I opened a personal credit card with CapitalOne 15 years ago. I got notice that they elected to close my account without notice. When I called CapitalOne I was told there was nothing that they could do, they did not care that they were going to adversely affect my credit. When I asked to speak to a manager, I was told I was speaking to one and there was no one above the person I could talk to. I was then told, I could apply for a new credit card as a solution to my issue. I have been a loyal customer to them for 15 years, I have another credit card and several CD accounts with CapitalOne, I pay my bills on time. I am very disappointed in the practices of this company and lack of customer service. I will not be doing any further business with this business.

I had a credit card with Capital One for about 10 years. They became uncompetitive over the years by never modifying the rewards for my card so I stopped using about 2 years ago. I still kept it in my wallet for emergencies though. No biggie right? Nope, I received an email saying my account is formally closed. When I called and asked if they could reopen they said, No." I use Capital One for my businesses too and told them I will go out and find new credit for my business and close them down too and they said, "OK."
I find it very unpalatable that they send me a constant barrage of emails, postal mail and phone calls about their offers and opportunities for us to work more closely together yet they had me as a client on the personal and business side yet they think it is appropriate to not send a single, "Hey, you need to use this card at least once," etc - nothing - before rudely closing my account. I'll never use Capital One again and advise others to stay away if they expect them to be treated as most people and businesses treat their customers nowadays i.e. with common courtesy.

I pay my credit card every month. I have been paying higher amount the last two months. Typically my payment posts as available by the end of the day. Twice now this month, my payment take 14 days to post. I've never had this issue. I've never heard of "this is our policy on occasion". I'm not sure you can have an occasional policy. It seems more like you're holding my payment so you can collect interest because I've been paying my card off. I've tried calling, I'm told sometimes this happens. Well it's happened my last 3 consecutive payments so it's all the time and it just started when covid hit.
I'm trying to rebuild my credit. I buy my groceries and then I pay it off. Now that are holding my payment so they can charge me interest? It seems illegal. If I pay a higher payment, I'm penalized? My entire card is on hold for the second time for 2 weeks. I was told this is only until my bank funds clear-well they cleared days ago. Is this legal? It seems like a scam to charge interest rates-this is the great Capital One? I'm disgusted.

I not only made 3 consecutive payments, I managed to pay off the card during the pandemic, thinking in case I need to use it I’ll have it. After I make 3 consecutive payments and pay the card off they tell me that unfortunately they can not lift the restriction. So, I was lied to during this pandemic just to get my money. They kept saying they wished they could help but unfortunately they couldn’t. I hate that phrase. Don’t tell me you wish to help if you can’t help me. And don’t lie to me to tell me that if I do make 3 consecutive payments that you will turn off the restrictions and once I do say I’m sorry. Don’t trust them and what they say.

I have spent at least 14 hours over the last 3 days on-hold and being transferred from one inept call center employee to the next with no resolution as to my miles being reimbursed for a flight that was booked through Capital One on their app. The amount totaling almost $800 in value doesn't seem to be their concern. I've had an employee, (Cathy) hang up on me for asking her why she was lying and then requesting to speak with her supervisor. I've been put back on indefinite hold after having just gotten off of hold and being told I was sent to the wrong department (this has happened several times but most notably and blatantly by Nick). I've been told by Deanne that she not only did not have an employee ID number but also did not have a supervisor - so apparently she's the top of the food chain. I'm sure Warren Buffett would love to know that, since in a roundabout way he actually owns Capital One.
I've been made empty promises by Colleen and Trinay; Trinay actually did have an employee ID Number - I know, weird, right? Trinay's employee ID number is **. Now, surprisingly, I'm not mad at either Colleen or Trinay despite their apparent lack of understanding as to just how horrible of an organization they work for as they actually did TRY to get something done, unfortunately, that meant transferring me yet again to the Travel Center which is filled with what can only be described as morons. To say that their core values are "...excellence, integrity and respect" is a joke. This organization and ALL of its employees are absolute scum of the earth garbage. I want my refund and I'll happily cancel every capital one card I have. I will NEVER charge another dime on any of those cards. The airline was easier to get a hold of then the credit card company.

Don't get a Capital One credit card! During COVID-19 crisis they continued to charge interest and fees and state that zeroing out a payment is the best that they can do, this action helps them assess more interest on your balance, and makes your balance grow even though you are not making charges! Capital One takes advantage of the customer by taking advantage through the COVID-19 crisis! They use a natural disaster to make more money! Don't be a victim of greed. Honestly I do have one great thing to say about them, they are extremely excellent at apologies! Take that to the bank!

I was disputing a charge to my card and called the customer support number that was given. I had a very difficult time understanding the individual that I was speaking with and asked where she was located. She said she was in Costa Rica. I then asked to speak with her supervisor and was on hold for two or three minutes. The person that was connected to spoke very clearly, but without a helpful attitude. I explained to her that I was not able to understand the woman in Costa Rica and asked her about the call center.
She said they have call centers all over the world and told me that I would be on hold for two to three minutes in order to be connected to the dispute center - after about five minutes I received a recording that said my wait time was over twenty minutes. I disconnected and called another number for disputed charges. This time I was connected to some woman in the Philippines who was also very difficult to understand.

On 4/28/2020 my wife answered an ad offering $500 bonus and a 1.5% interest for opening an account with new money. We went through the fairly easy process to set up the account, the suggested promo code was pre-populated, my wife's information was gleaned from an account she opened in 2016, set up a transfer of the funds from a different bank. When we got the 'success' screen it also said that the promo code was not accepted. We called the 800 number and got assurances that it is a computer glitch and we need to call in August to start a review to manually apply the promo (the $500 bonus). My wife then called a local branch and they informed us that she is not eligible because she already had a promotional account opened in 2016??? We wrote an email to: Shelley **, Director of Complaints, Richard D. Fairbank, Chief Executive. Of course no answer has been provided yet.
Conclusion: a) The Bank advertises promotions, the application process 'assists' in filling out the forms but nowhere does it warn you that you are not eligible before the transfer of funds set up is complete - why? b) Why are existing clients 'punished' for opening another account 4 years prior to this promotion? It stinks, doesn't it?

I entered into a settlement arrangement to pay Citi on my account ending in **. The LAW provides for 90 days once entering the agreement, regardless of proposed installment dates. 2/26 - I paid $250 3/26 - I paid $250 4/26 - Final Payment tentatively to be paid for $751. After being affected by Covid 19, I called to get this final payment date RESCHEDULED, and they flat out refused. I know for a 1000% FACT that they can do it, and that provisions of settlements allow in regulations for a 90-day payment period. I also know this to be true, because AmEx, Citi Financial, and Discover all allowed me to do it. I asked to pay it on May 15 (still less than 90 days from start of plan to finish) and they flat out refused. I requested time to pay due to Covid 19 income loss and they flat out refused. I requested another settlement for the remaining $751 and they flat out refused.
I requested any settlement and they flat out refused. I requested assistance under Covid 19 and they flat out refused. I requested the standard Covid 19 that they are giving people, and they flat out refused. They haven't implemented one thing to help their customers. The only option they have is this "build your own plan" available on the internet on their site which only approves it if you do a significant payment, on a monthly basis, which doesn't reflect someone's capacity to pay on an ongoing basis. There is literally no way to get an approval, unless you type in a very high significant amount.
This is the same feature that has always been on their site. It is NOT directed towards helping people with Covid. 3 of my other creditors immediately enrolled me in a 60-day plan with no payments. Capital One had nothing. They are truly a selfish greedy company. I have lost my entire income due to Covid 19 since March 13, and have been trying proactively to get help from them, and they flat out refused.
I live in Arizona, and the Department of Employment Security (DES) and the Unemployment Office does not have the system set up yet to pay sole proprietors. They expect implementation on May 12, and payments to start being made to the unemployment self-employed group shortly following that. I find Capital One's inability or refusal to help me an egregious lack of support and expectations by consumers and the federal government, and I'd like to have a full investigation done into Capital One, not just through them replying to my statements, but I'd like to see the CFPB launch an investigation into their refusal to help me. I will also be reaching out to the top executives in my LinkedIn network to shed further light on this, as well as the non-cooperation of senior account managers to work with people.
This is deplorable, and I want to throw up just thinking of how they are not helping people. I want to cry. I consider how much stress this is causing me. It's awful to have no help from them. NONE! I sure hope they get what they deserve, by going down when nobody pays them due to Covid, and people are forced to file bankruptcy. It will happen, and Capital One's Managers who refused to work with me, will suddenly find themself where I was. I will make sure everyone website, platform, and review center knows of this. As well as the BBB. Please do NOT get one of their cards. If you are having trouble getting financial support from them due to Covid-19, please contact the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB), and the Executive Offices, as well as your Attorney General.

HOURS on the phone with Capital One, hours on the phone with Capital One Rewards, hours on the phone with Capital One Travel, hours on the phone with the travel booking company they use. My longest hours of waiting was about 7, there were the hangups after hours, there were the transfers and disconnect, there were the transfers then more hours of waiting. Then the BROKEN ASSURANCES. Add to the insults, they "lost" the airline refund only to find it after more calls and more transfers. The airline refund went to the booking company then to Capital One Travel then to Capital One Venture card.
Finally a letter from Capital One Venture that I had a refund, I was advised I could not use the card (because in total disgust I had canceled the card earlier), and it would take TWO BILLING cycles before I would be mailed my refund. This after ASSURANCES my refund was being mailed directly, immediately to me. In checking my account I see that the airline credit was posted to my account and held before I was even notified by mail that the refund was being held. A phone call and another long hold and I quoted the Fair Trade Act to Capital One and requested immediate refund. I am advised it will take 3 weeks. This despite Fair Trade Act limiting the time a card company can hold my $.
And when asked about the separate rewards cash (1/2 the rewards point value) refund, Capital One hung up and did not call back. Other issues, the so-called insurance on travel? Forget that. Ease of booking and cost of booking? My one-way airline ticket cost was appallingly high. I found I could have bought round trip ticket for more than $100 less.

Awful customer service with this company. This is my everyday credit card but I see now why people review their service so horribly. I spoke to a supervisor after I was told I couldn’t take my interest charge off and he proceeded to belittle my situation. He told me I didn’t read the guidelines. He then said there’s no one else to speak to other than the administrator and that he was hired so that we could talk to him because the administrator has more important things to do. He then told me to stop cutting him off, kept talking over me, didn’t listen to how unfair my situation was. This is all during the crisis of COVID 19 as well. He then tells me he cannot take this “correctly charged” interest off.
Then he goes, "BECAUSE THE CONVERSATION IS NOT GOING YOUR WAY YOU’RE UPSET." My situation is that I was incorrectly charged interest for the month of March 2020. I paid the full statement for February, but they accidentally had doubled my payment resulting in my account being overpaid and so I then had a credited amount. I wanted this reversed so they helped me out and reversed one of the payments. I was then given the statement for the month of March and it came back -20$ balance. “No minimum Payment due” . When they reversed my payment my balance went back up but I wasn’t aware that this balance still applies to March because my statement didn’t say so.
I was just asking for an interest charge waiver so I could then pay the balance. He refused to do so and kept telling me Covid-19 has nothing to do with this. I have been a loyal customer for a long time. All I asked was the courtesy of taking away a very confusing charge so I could pay what I owe. AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE - I couldn’t even speak to someone else to help with the issue because he refused. I was also on hold for an hour which is understandable during these uncertain CoVid 19 times.

I have been a Capital One customer for many years and this company does not care about helping its customers through the pandemic. It's impossible to sign up for relief on any of their websites, but they make you think you can, so you end up having to get through to their call center. I spent hours trying to get through to anyone who will help, only to have to do it again in a few weeks because they want to be irritating. Capital One would really benefit their customers if they took a look at how other credit card companies are working together with us. We are all in this together -- FYI, take a look at how Apple Card is handling things and learn how to be better.

I have been a customer of Capital One for almost 7 years. Recently I have had identity theft that has caused some issues with people trying to open accounts. Capital one has by far been the worse to deal with! There was a second account opened using my personal information in my name with different employers and home addresses. When Capital one opened this account it caused the fraudulent address and employers to appear on my credit report. Now if those people apply for additional credit the credit bureaus show their information on my credit report.
Fraud/dispute manager out of Tampa, Florida named Felida told me that they cannot verify my personal information with me that it is confidential what they have on file, she also verified that there is no way to stop capital one from continuing to open accounts in my name even though I requested something be tied to my name saying that I do not at any point want another account opened in my name.... She explained they would continue to open them as long as someone had correct information to give.

I am very dissatisfied with Capital One after they withdrew $3400 from my bank account using AutoPay for charges I did not make. They sent me a letter indicating potential fraud a few months ago and asked that I call, which I did. The fraud department was very vague and secretive, and did not provide any details of any charges, but indicated I could no longer use my credit card. I also checked my online account, but I was locked out. I was later notified by letter my account was closed. I found this peculiar because with other credit cards, they simply sent me a new credit card with a different number.
A month later I received my bank statement and was shocked to see Capital One withdrew without my authorization $3400! I immediately called Capital One, and continued to receive vague statements that my account is restricted and they cannot share any info. I asked for a manager but still received no additional detail. I demanded to be informed, and told them this $3400 withdrawal was not authorized; they could not even tell me what were the charges amounting to $3400 that they withdrew. BTW I have an excellent credit rating, and always paid off my credit card each month. Capital One made this a nightmare experience and now I will advise others do not open a Capital One Credit Card!!!

Sometimes it is not easy and here is an good example of it. I never miss a payment, but Capital One canceled all AutoPays. I tried to set up AutoPay. I changed to their system after talking to the C1 Account rep in both November and December 2019. A payment was made on time in November but the tried to draft a Bank Account that I had closed over a year ago. The payment was returned of course.
I called Capital One. I talked to an account rep. He said he saw the problem and that it was curious that they had used an old account number to draw from. He credited back all fees and said he had corrected my account to where I would not be reported as late. But now, not only do they show me 30 days late to the credit bureaus on this card but also on the old card. So because of their mistake I now have two 30 days past due on my credit report even though I am current on the account. I called again when I got notice of being 30 days late. I talked to an account rep and a supervisor. They would not fix their error and acted like it was all my fault. They said this to someone who was on AutoPay and was Never late. I would think they would like a customer like me. So, I paid off the account and locked the card. I now have a credit and hope to never deal with Capital One Again.

When I called them to see what was going on the person on the phone told me they would have a 7-day hold to first confirm with my bank, if it wasn't because I have had Discover customer support tell me that they can contact my card issuer (in the past) to confirm the payment I would've most likely left it at that but when the agent took me through going into my Chase bank and still didn't contact my bank instead tried to create a report through their side, I was left wondering why they needed that information, then they tell me that their system wouldn't let them credit my payment because they couldn't confirm if it went through with my bank.
I was naturally angered but kept my composure and told them to contact my bank to confirm with them and explained that they had my authorization to get the information they needed from Chase.

UPDATED (04/26/2020): Capital One provided me a credit card in 2019. I used it, never used the amount allowed, paid my balance of what I used, and if paid I believe 7 payments you get an increase. I always paid more than expected before due dates, paid off and they granted me an increase. Shortly after that I received an email my card was restricted, I call they tell me what I already knew, restricted and said they had no additional information for me except I will get a letter explaining why. I still have letter and it said nothing but that they made a mistake in giving me three credit card.
Since then, January 2020 they continuously send me offers. In this unprecedented time, still working but need some money to get me further in my career, licensure for substance abuse counselor. I've been holding onto the last offer out of several they've mailed to me with pre approved credit. I decided to give them another chance, apply using the offer and I was denied. I'm very upset at this because it's a hit off my credit score! At this point my feelings towards them is awful! I feel they continue to lure people, hit their credit score hard and make things worse on mine and I'm sure others. They should be ashamed at doing this especially since they originally did what they did.
I will never deal with Capital One again and they should be penalized for doing this to people, making mistakes, that they admitted and then continually send that same person, myself offers, only to deny them, hit my credit score and make my masters worse! I feel they should take back my hit on that score. By the way it doesn't reflect on my credit score that I paid off my credit card, it doesn't even exist in my credit records, this should be illegal. I think I will start looking for a lawyer on this company abusing my credit record now. I have all my documentation from them, making an error and this pre approved offer, shortly after they pulled what they did. I was hopeful they corrected their error and that's why they kept sending me several offers, then when I decide that possibility they denied me, made a hard inquiry on my credit score, that's horrible business in them!

Good day, A few months ago I forgot my Visa card at home but I had the Capital One Master Card in my wallet. I was purchasing laptops for work which totaled $3500. The Capital One card was declined multiple attempts even though I knew I overpaid the card and had $9000 to $1000 available credit. After a 1.5 hour wait on the phone and more than one agent, my card was unblocked and the purchase went through. It was an embarrassing experience and painfully long wait, all because of prior major Capital One breach and tougher measures were imposed.
Later that day I made a second stop at a cell phone repair store. It closed at 7:00 pm and I was there at 6:45 pm. Again I attempted to pay a $550 bill but it was declined. I called but ended up on hold for another 1.5 hrs and I didn't get my cell phones as the store closed. I canceled my card when I finally went to an agent as I had enough.
Unfortunately, my experience doesn't end there. My wife ordered something from Costco just a few days before, but it didn't hit the Capital One statement until later. I paid off my bill in full (so I thought) and was done with Capital One. However, because of the one small purchase, I unknowingly missed one bill payment by a month. Yes, I didn't open the Capital One mail. Why would I as I told them I don't wish their services? Once informed, I again paid the bill in full, however now it affected my credit score. After multiple departments, they wouldn't reverse the negative credit review.
In summary, Capital One, due to your breach and unrealistic protective measures and snowball ball of bad experience here is my parting gift, a black mark on my credit score. Your system is broken and this would have never started if you had a viable solution like other companies that text or call you for unusual purchases. A copy of this review is being mailed to their top tier department as well as to the appropriate credit bureaus, but I am sure it will hit the shredder.

I've been a very, very long time Capital One Credit Card holder, 18 years to be exact. I've ran into two times in my life where I became financially distressed and today is one of them. I am a very engaged customer and am always on top of my payments and usage of the card. Once I was diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma, working full time became difficult. I even got laid off a few months back and have been practically begging Capital One to be understanding and work with me so that I can not continue to get drowned in interest charges while accruing driving up the actual balanced owed.
Rather than truly empathizing with my situation of being sick, being laid off, having two children to raise and just asking for some REASONABLE help to keep up with payments which would still turn them a profit, I was told nothing can be done. I was offered a few late fee waivers but continue to see my balance rise as my my 25% interest rate requires an almost $300 monthly payment.
I've asked for a hold on interest payments (declined), a lower interest rate just for a few months (Declined), stop on reporting late payments to the credit bureau to not continue to destroy my credit (denied), a lower payment amount (approved) BUT with a catch as the lower payment amount is still considered a LATE payment and still is being reported to the credit bureau at late / payment not received, so what exactly is the point there?
I am being drown in interest and finance charges and continue to see my card balance grow without making any purchases as its all interest and finance charges. Over $1,500 so far and not a dime from me using the card. They say we are here to help you, Really Capital One? I even reached out today due to this pandemic to see if I could get any help this time as I am basically quarantined home due to my compromised Immune System from dealing with cancer for several years and lost a job opportunity because I just can't be out of my home during this time.
Again, stop lying and acting like you want to help and work things out with your customers. As a big billion dollar business in which I worked for in the past, your only concern is you bottom line even during a World Wide Pandemic where many are actually suffering first hand. I am still trying my best to keep up with this card but if this pandemic doesn't boil over both myself and Capital One loses as the account gets charged off and they wont get paid a dime until much, much late. Sorry excuse for a company. I think all those millions of dollars they pay ACTORS to say "What's in your wallet" would be better served for reserves to help during times like this!

I took one of their offers and In two months was back on track, I was still overdrawn but my payments were back on track, once a plan was set they didn't charge me any overdraft fees, late fees, I was only charge the first non-payment fees from the two missed payments before my deposits were fixed and my regular interest.
The two other cards said before i could have a payment plan I had to be at least three months behind in payments, by then the cards doubled my balances with fines and fees so I let them charge off but kept the two that worked with me. When my friends and family get credit card offers I always tell them go with Capital One. I'll never give it up, they were wonderful, understanding and didn't make me feel worse than I already felt.

Earlier this month, after receiving a notification my credit cards that were expiring were being replaced in April, I waited to receive them. After waiting over a month I called to check on them as they were not received. After Calling in and speaking to an agent they apologised for the inconvenience and said they were having new cards sent to me. They just needed to put me on hold for a few minutes. At this time the cards I had were active and functional with no issues for another 45 days. After being in hope for maybe 2-3 minutes, the line dropped. I called back re-explained my issue and was hopeful this last call would fix the issue. To my surprise the 2nd agent told me that my cards were cancelled and I would not be able to use the service until the new cards arrived.
To complete the story in the blink list version, I was finally told after escalating there was a function on my mobile app to see all cards and security data while I waited. After 3 days of getting errors of “we hit a snag, please try later” I called back to see how to resolve. I have been through 6 calls, 2 escalation managers, 4 dropped calls. Each time I ask them to take my information if I get dropped so I don’t have Call back and reexplain and never get called back and have to re-explain each time. I get agent details like - Jana and serial ** and ask to speak to the agent I previously spoke to. They indicate every call is recorded but when I inquire about getting ticket or call info to triage so they can see how many times I call and the issue, they don’t seem to keep that info or have access to it.
Any decent call center would have logging, knowledge base info, and call database repository through a common CMDB using tools like service now or others and apparently capital ones does not or they refuse to use it. Net is I am waiting with no recourse for 2 weeks for cards that have been changed, which affects the auto payments and other transactions I had with these cards, through no fault of my own with a service provider that has no accountability to provide a better alternative. Extremely disappointing.

I would never get the Venture card. Raised my interest to 20%. I called customer service and asked to have my interest rate verified. And sure enough it has been raised to 20%. So I asked if they could lower it due to the fact they're getting their money at less than 1%. They not only said no but they would be raising the rate next month. Guess that what you get for being loyal to a brand. Going to close all my Capital One accounts. They can keep their greedy money.

Capital One has taken over the Walmart credit card. I had the Walmart card for nine years, and never had a problem. Then, on the first capital One statement, there were two almost identical $ 150.00 charges made four days apart that I did not recognize. I notified Capital One, and a new card was sent. A week later I get a letter that stated the "investigation," which took one day, showed that I, or another account holder (?) benefited from the transactions. I am the " only," one on the account. When I asked what was purchased, I was told: " We don't know". What kind of way is that to run a credit card company. " We don't know?" Really Horrible customer service. I didn't ask for a Capital One credit card, but got one anyway.

I cannot express how utterly disappointing and frustrating trying to block payment of a disputed "pending" charge was. It had not been paid by Capital One, the charge was merely pending. No description. I googled the charging vendor--it came up as a scam. I told the CapOne representative on the phone that I did not want the alleged charge paid. He first tried, with me on the line, to call the charging vendor. That resulted in 5 minutes of automated call waits until it threw us over to voice mail, and then the call hung up on the vendor's end before a message could be left.
The CapOne representative then told me to call the vendor later, and get back to CapOne. I asked CapOne simply to not pay the vendor, which CapOne had not--the charge was merely pending. He said that CapOne could not do that. I then asked him to close my CapOne account. He could not confirm that it was closed for over 20 minutes, and claimed that if the pending charge was paid by CapOne before the account was in fact closed, I would be billed for and have to pay the charge, even though I'd intercepted the scam attempt before CapOne paid it. Now I'm wondering which is the bigger scammer: the vendor or CapOne.

I applied for a Capital One credit card a little over a month ago. The next day I received word that I had been approved and that the card was in the mail. 3 days later I received word via a phone number I had not included on my account that my account application (which they had somehow pulled via some 3rd party nonsense without trying my listed number) that they were going to run a fraud verification to ensure I was who I said I was. Fair enough. This started a 15 day journey of waiting on hold, being talked down to, and receiving unclear or incorrect instructions.
I was repeatedly made to upload the same 3 documents 6 times. Any time I uploaded documents, I was told there was some issue, ranging from the edge is cut off(it wasn't), to their team not even realizing that I had uploaded documents. The first 5 times I asked for further clarification on specifically what their team would want me to upload. Each time I heard different guidance and the results were more of the same. Their team was uniformly unhelpful, rude, and poorly informed. This is my first experience with Capital One and I am severely let down. I fully intend to make this my last interaction with them as well. If you can avoid working with them, do.

After a few years of having my card and paying off the entire balance every month on time, I requested a limit increase and was denied. They agreed I had A1 credit but said I never exceeded my existing limit so they couldn’t increase it. Seemed dumb to me but no big deal, I just used another card for a large purchase I was making. Then more recently I had a fraudulent charge on my statement and they refused to investigate it. Said the card wasn’t maxed out therefore it couldn’t have been fraudulent. But it was. And not every fraudster acts the same. This is a company who has unreasonable policies, very poor customer service, and doesn’t care about retaining a good customer. I don’t recommend Capital One.

I recently lost my entire family within a year's time. On too of everyone in my immediate family dying, the house I grew up in had 2 major insurance claims. After one full year of not having running water, the insurance company finally cut a check for water to be restored. I deposited this check into Capital One mobile checking.
Since I'm the sole survivor of my entire family, I'm also Estate Administrator. After 2 days I realized I wanted to keep my Estate funds separate from "my money." In my state, it is not required to have a separate checking account. In fact, per federal law, no state requires separate Estate checking account. It is suggested but NOT legally regulated or required.
The day after I deposited the insurance check (made out in my Father's name to his Estate) Capital One illegally garnished it. All of the insurance money and every penny in my checking as well. I had a creditor that I already arranged payments for seize the money. I immediately contacted Capital One who NEVER NOTIFIED ME of the garnishment and explained that legally, they cannot freeze every penny and that the Estate funds were exempt.
Extremely long story short, Capital One lied under oath, illegally garnished money that belonged to my dead family, not me and refused to apologize (stating they didn't believe my family was dead even though I sent in the death certificates,) flagrantly ignored state and federal LAWS and left me penniless for 5 months until they decided to follow a court order to give me back part of my federally protected funds. The family house lies in ruin because of the money they stole. I wrote to the President to explain what happened...I didn't even get a form letter back from my certified letter.
Capital One does not care about you. They do not care about FEDERAL laws. Capital One doesn't care about STATE laws or protections. Banks are untouchable in their legalized villainy and NO ONE, No bank proves this better than the heartless, disgusting thugs Capital One. What's in your wallet?

I have been a loyal Capital One credit card holder for nearly 30 years. Recently there have been changes to security that make this a very bad card to use when traveling. Recently I was in Australia and needed to purchase airline tickets. When I went to pay I was transferred to a Capital one site that tried to verify my purchase by sending a code to my USA mobile phone number which when traveling is impossible for me to receive outside of the USA. I phoned customer service and was told 1. They can do nothing to stop this "automatic" process, and 2. it isn't possible to add a foreign telephone number or to use an email address for such a purpose. End of story! Too bad!!
The only way I found around this issue was to use Paypal where the card was registered. The card was accepted through Paypal, but unfortunately this isn't always an option. Bottom line, there are more user friendly cards on the market. Capital One really needs to upgrade their policies to reflect the real world needs of customers. This experience was not the first time I've run into this issue when outside the USA. It is incredibly annoying.

I don't have my US phone with me, when in Europe I use a local mobile phone.

I tell them to send me the code through my email like my online account does. No, they can't do that either and we are done.

They call my US phone, my daughter answers but they can't give her any information because it is not me. I call again, explain again and they tell me that it is going to take 7 to 14 days to verify the documents that I sent. I explain again that I am in Europe with a card that doesn't work can we do anything sooner. Nope, 7 to 14 days is the answer.
I am out of my mind at this point, this is a card I use all over the world, charge 60 to 80 thousand dollar per year and I can't talk to them. I wait five days and call again, explain my problem, the girl tells me that she sees my driver license but it will take 7 to 14 days blah, blah, but she is very sorry. I ask for a manager. I get Patrick, explain everything again and he puts me on hold to verify my documents. After an eternity on hold, he comes back and finally he can talk to me. He tells me that he has no idea why my card was denied and can't explain why I didn't get an email to confirm that it was a valid transaction from my side. And the good news is that I can use my card again.
I ask Patrick what's going to happen when I call again in a few days to say that my cards was stolen, my card is denied, or for any other problem with my cards. You are not going to believe what he tells me: "Oh, we'll send you a six digit code to your phone on record to verify it is you". Bottom line: the card is great, the benefits are great but the support system sucks. The agents are robots reading from a script and are not allowed to use their brains. The verification system is inflexible and the system has absolutely no possibility to help a customer in a tough situation. As soon as I get home I will look into and alternative card for my travels.

Come to find out the reason I gave them when speaking to someone overseas, was transcribed incorrectly for the wrong issue, they put the entire $426 charge back on my card even though the dispute was for $120. It had to do with luggage. I spoke to somebody in disputes. He said he has to talk to the higher ups. It took ONE HOUR 39 minutes for them to review my bill to say I was right!
They said I can start the claim all over again and wait another 60 days for the $120 to be disputed but in the meantime they’re giving me back what I paid. It will take three days.

I paid the balance down to 0 (450$ later) just for them to restrict the account because of “possible fraud”. They wanted me to send the bank statement with my account number on it.

So I talked to a Sup to see if there were any other ways to prove I made the payment through my own account. No. Bank statements.
So at this point I’m up against a wall because I really cannot get this bank statement. She told me that they are doing verification to make sure it’s my money and not someone else’s. They’re just trying to be sure. I understand that. So I decided to just close the card considering i’m not going to be able to get that bank statement. HOWEVER, if they were really concerned about someone else’s money, they would’ve never posted the payment and they would’ve never let me close the account without confirming it’s my money.

Addition and withdrawal are transactions. The clearing of the funds is an end result of a deposit. So now deposit is under "past transactions". Same fund clearing is under "future transactions". One transaction cannot be under past and future transactions.
3. For those who hold multiple accounts Cap 360 online is NO LONGER showing total of cleared deposit and total of pending deposit.
Capital 360 calls unbelievably calls this an improvement. I cannot imagine that the person who made this changes was approved to download this nightmare. I do hope the old functions will be brought back because the system is ABSOLUTELY NOT USABLE. You are misrepresenting the terminology and are co mingling different functions under the same sections.

This company can give unpleasant unexpected surprises. Nowhere on the chat, I went to, I received a message which mentioned I would be charged a fee of 10 for a bet on a lottery ticket that was worth less than $10. I was charged $ 10 for tickets sometimes worth less than $ 5.50. I was charged a total of USD$ 100: The chat mentions cash ATM Withdrawals, wire transfers, and international wire transfers. The Receipt I signed did not show I was to pay a fee. I will avoid using the card and report the issue to the Better Business Bureau. The ticket I signed should have shown the advanced fee.

I have had a Capital One credit card for over 20 years or so. I made a payment on my capital one credit card. The vendor classified it as a cash advance payment without my authorization, so I was charged a cash advance fee and a 26% interest fee from capital one. All this was done without any approval from myself. I called capital one and they were rude and said they couldn't do anything about it. They pretty much told me that the fine print in the application lets them do about anything they want!

Capital One treated me unprofessionally the other month. They took four hours to try to figure out how to resolve a simple issue. Several of the staff had not been trained appropriately and gave me misinformation. They never resolved the issue. When I sent a letter of complaint, it was ignored. Prior to this experience, I was pleased with the company for 10 years. Now, I avoid using their services and have since signed up for Discover. I had even tried to speak with the manager at head office and she was completely arrogant. This was extremely disappointing. I am a customer who always pays my bills on time. I had even referred a friend. They told me I would receive credit for referring a friend and then they never gave me the credit. Therefore, I will never recommend anyone to this company.

Hadn’t used my card in a while but decided to use it to go grocery shopping at the store near my house since I still had a week till pay day. Prior to leaving for the store, I logged into the app to verify everything looked good since I hadn’t used it in a while. Everything looked good so I left, got the groceries and went to check out to have the card declined. Right then got the email saying they had suspended the card due to “suspicious activity” and to call them ASAP. So here I am in the check out line with a cart full of groceries and a frustrated toddler calling Capital One to verify my identity. Get put on hold and at the end of all of it told I need to upload documents to prove my identity.
Ultimately something you can’t resolve at the grocery store which would have been nice to know in the beginning before I called that the process is slow so I didn’t waste my time calling them at the store and could work toward finding another way to pay. Ended up calling a family member. Since again had a week until pay day. I still don’t understand how using my card at the grocery store less than 5 minutes from my house is considered suspicious activity. At this point, I’m considering closing the account. I don’t think I would ever feel comfortable using the card without worrying the card would be declined for no good reason. I also don’t ever want to have another experience of feeling mortified in the check out line.

14 Days still no returned payment! WORST customer service. Capital One credit card: I made an extra payment by accident through my checking account. This resulted in $930.00 in overage payment to Capital One, and a negative balance on my credit card. Unfortunately, since it went through my bank could not recall the payment. I called Capital One on January 11th to have the money sent back to my checking account. I was given a 4-5 business day period for the ACH to go through. I had to call back on the 18th and it was still not processed. They had to submit another request for another 5 business days.
Why does it take 10 business days to process a simple ACH? I work in a financial institution and it takes a maximum of 2 business days to process an ACH. The managers I was put on the phone were absolutely horrible. They said there was nothing that could be done and even suggested to hang up and call again. What kind of terrible customer service is that from Capital One? It is now January 24th, so that is 13 days that this money still has not been returned.

When I got to that place, I said, "I already did all of this before and it's the same result, it's still asking me for my bank info which is already linked," and he said, "oh, it won't (pre-populate, reenter, whatever his exact words were) all the information, 'you will still have to enter some.'"
Me: Q: "Do I have to re-enter my bank account info every time I buy a 360 CD?"
Rep: A: Yes, it will pre-populate the rest of your information if you are already a customer, but you will have to enter your bank information each time.
Me: "Ok, thank you."

First let me say I've been a fan and customer of Capital One for many years and have several accounts with them. Second I'm a global cybersecurity advisor and work with the G100 companies to establish the most secure processes possible. I'm currently in a middle east country which doesn't have secure infrastructure such as internet or cellular systems. Today I went to use my phone app to check on my account and instead of using biometrics to access my account, they said I needed to use my password.
Because I travel I don't carry my passwords and biometrics are far more secure, I just don't use them. So for my financial institution to down grade my security process without informing me of the process is placing my information a serious risk. Talking with them, the only option I have is to enter more secure information (SSN, DOB, etc.) to reset my password.
The thought process was ok, the implementation and notification is lacking. They should have informed me of this random process and I would have never used their card in this situation. Second applying this process when they know I'm on international travel (charges) they should have never activated the random password. This has resulted with my inability to use their app to verify transactions while abroad. Thus I can use their card. I strongly urge anyone who reads this to contact Capital One and let them know how disappointed they are at down grading customer's security when it's most needed.

I was told by Capital One the charges will stay because he was on for so long as a user and I should have known..

I told capital one how was this right when we were separated and have not been together since August but he has the right to charge my credit his lawyer fees in December.

We are long-time customers of CO. In the summer of 2019, we sold our home of 13+ years to move our family into a larger home and serve my parents. My father has Parkinson's Disease with Advanced Dementia and my mother has severe arthritis. We encouraged them to shift funds to CO in preparation for our move, so they placed over $240,000 in one of these accounts for the specific purpose of purchasing their half of the home we had placed under contract. At no time were they given any inclination that there would be an issue when it came time to wire these funds which we entrusting CO to manage for them.
On the morning of our house closings, 11/8/19, the time came to wire the funds from their account to the law office. It was then that my mother’s wire request was DENIED because her account had not been opened for at least 60 days – a requirement she had NOT been made aware of until the very moment. She and my wife spoke with multiple representatives trying to resolve this, but none were helpful. They were offered neither a solution nor a clear explanation as to why Capital One would place us in such a dire situation. And no one could point them to any WRITTEN information that would inform a customer of this so-called "60-day policy" regarding wire transfers. We even made it clear that we could lose our house over this and no one was moved to help further.
In the end, we were forced to delay our closing and pay a $500 early move-in fee. We asked Capital One to reimburse us this $500 fee which would not have been necessary if Capital One had disclosed information properly, and they were unmoved by our request. We are incredibly disappointed by a company whose mission statement is "to help our customers succeed by bringing ingenuity, simplicity, and humanity to banking." I cannot see how INGENUITY was applied here. This was not a SIMPLE process in any way. And to unnecessarily render two families potentially homeless for seven days is INHUMANE.

Paid off billed balance online. I realized that account would have accumulated additional interest. So I called to get the payoff for the interest. They could not calculate the interest nor could they accept an estimated payment amt from me as they repeatedly told me that I must wait until the billing cycle ends in order to pay off the interest. So I said, "No I want a payoff as of this date, so that I get no additional interest."
Repeatedly told by senior account manager, reading from a script, No they could not give me a payoff, that my balance is zero. I said, "So you want me to continue to wait until the end of the billing cycle so that you can continue to accrue interest on my account rather than quote a payoff thru today's date so that the following month you can charge me additional interest on the interest that you are refusing to quote a payoff on until the end of your billing cycle. When I have asked you for a payoff as of this date and you are refusing to give me a payoff amount or allow me to make an additional payment that would more than satisfy any interest."
So since she has refused to give me a payoff, refused to accept payment for any interest that may have accrued and repeatedly told me that I have a zero balance, I finally said, "So my account is paid off in full because you keep telling me it is zero." She proceeds to tell me, "No, it doesn't work that way," but she can't calculate and give me a payoff nor can she close my account but she will put a restriction on it. So I said, "Basically I have a zero balance that you want to allow to accrue interest so the following month you can access additional interest on the interest only balance and repeat over and over again," then oh no she didn't. Yes she speaks down to me and tells me, quote "Let me educate you...."
Ok, now I am angry so I tell her the one that needs educated is her. She needs educated on her customer service skills. She proceeds to tell me she is quite educated. But apparently not educated enough to calculate a payoff amount. Phantom debt is what I told her she was creating on my account. Call eventually has ended. Still not resolved so next month I will get another bill for interest only and when I pay that, will get another bill the following month for interest on the interest they have refuse to calculate and quote me a payoff. Not happy. This should be illegal. Actually I am not sure that it isn't illegal.

My Husband is traveling in Bulgaria. I went to log in on our laptop to make a payment at my Grandma’s home. CapitalOne’s server must have noticed that the I.P. Address was different from our homes and asked for verification via one of three options. Each of the options, however, required a smart phone’s texting feature. Unfortunately, he was not able to perform any of the options due to very limited service. There is a tollfree number for this situation posted on the bottom of the webpage’s verification page.
When I called the tollfree number, they asked for him to send a photo of the front and back of a government issued I.D. However, they also placed a hold on the card making it unusable. So, he is stuck traveling in Europe with no Credit Card for two weeks. This is horribly upsetting as we informed CapitalOne prior to his departure that he would be traveling to Bulgaria and made certain that the account was noted for travel outside the US. We provided verification via the telephone that it was indeed him traveling to release the hold with no success.
I fail to understand why they would place a hold on the card, making unusable after all of the precautions have been made and after all of the verifications have been performed. This is not only a major inconvenience, but a safety concern. CapitalOne is negligent in jeopardizing the wellbeing of an American traveling overseas who was depending on their services. Monies will now have to be sent via a service at additional costs and hopefully will be accepted at locations to provide him a safe return. There are so many other credit card options that offer better interest rates and rewards and would never consciously jeopardize the safety and wellbeing of their users. Be warned, stay far away from CapitalOne!

This is to lodge my complaint against Capital One in regards of allowing repeated identity thieves’ attempt to open credit cards and my repeated calls made into Capital One to the Fraud Dept. Over a course of 2 months, I have had 6 hard inquiries of individuals trying to open a credit card application; each time the application was denied due to suspected fraud. While I’m relieved an account never opened, I'm beyond belief there were no attempts to review internal records to if a submission was previously denied and reason why. Had it this been flagged, more vigilant questions could have been posed, perhaps it would have stopped BEFORE you submitted a hard inquiry for that application.
The operation is grossly laxed that allowed continue attempts. Capital One may have stopped the account(s) from being created, but miserably failed to stop the hard inquiries which has an immense impact to the victim: credit score, my time of repeated calls to your Fraud Dept, and my mental state. I’ve made several calls the Fraud Dept to report this is a fraudulent attempt and that I had reported to each Credit Bureau (all 3) that I disputed the hard inquiries. The last incident with Capital One finally compelled me to voice my complaint as loud and far as it could be heard. 5 of 6 hard inquiries were removed – small victory. But, the 6th hard inquiry that was submitted 10/31/19 was still lingering on the credit report.
I called into the Capital One’s Fraud Department today (12/16/19) to discuss why #6 hard inquiry was still lingering… The representative was curt and abrupt. She saw that I called into the department a couple of times. The first call is 10/28/19 and last call was 11/26, with the representative indicated an account didn’t open and that an investigation was opened and it’ll take 60-90 days to investigate. Only to discover today (12/26/19) when I called that Capital One just started the investigation… TODAY!
There is something truly lacking that it’s taking Capital One three (3) months from the first time I called… or, one (1) month from the last time I called to open an investigation. And, why would the remaining 5 others dropped from my credit report... All I know, this is on my credit report and each week I see the other vendors drop off and my score inches up again, while Capital One stubbornly remains. For a company who got breached and supposedly takes fraud seriously, the actions shown of delaying investigating the 10/31/19 hard inquiry submission and 1 month from the last date that I called to today to start the investigation - this is outrageous. I'm more anxious and angry that it's a 60 - 90 days process to investigate. For this reason, I’m moved to offload my anger as a complaint.

I’ve been a Capital One patron for about 10 years, and was very happy with their service until recently. Capital One’s changed the due date on their customer's Credit Cards to the first week of the month when most pay their mortgages/rent. This caused my bank account to overdraw, then when I called to complain they said it takes 2 or so pay cycles before it would adjust, in the meantime I would still be responsible for paying on the conflicting date, and they would not waive the fees they caused, they said I received emails in advance telling me this was going to take place...some people don’t check their emails every day, I never seen it, and I never received a letter. Their policies on fees are so strict, they are willing to sacrifice veteran customers. I’m very disappointed in Capital One. C. **

My husband was gravely ill and in ICU. I did not know if and when he would recover. Twice I called Capital One to see if they could give me a temporary reduction on my interest rate until my husband was well. The first time I called the agent informed me that I still had $500 credit on the account that I could spend and she could not help me. When I called back to speak to a supervisor, they put me on hold for an hour and then hung up on me. I have since applied for a credit card with another company and will be transferring my balance.

I have always been charged overlimit fees. Before I called to dispute this overlimit charges, I was told to pay 78:40. So I called. Spoke to an Account Manager, she understood why I called. Then she gave me a credit of 120 dollars. But she also instructed me to pay the minimum amount owing - which I did pay on that same day.
The 120 dollars is a year overlimit fee Capital One charged me but she refunded me the money to my account. And I also paid the 78.40 dollars. Since then, I have not made any payment to my account. But they keep charging me for overlimit fees. So I called and I was transferred to this boy **, this boy kept on saying rubbish. Won't let me say a word. I only called because I had a payment due and I am very sure if I made the payment they will still charge me again for overlimit fee. I asked him to refund the charges back and find a solution for this overlimit fees - IT reoccurring month after month but this boy will curse me and argue. I requested to be transfered to another Account Manager. This boy refused and finally he hanged up the call.
It was a very sad experience for me in my life. I called back when he hanged up on me.

I will not recommend Capital One to anyone. Recently I applied for CC. Got accepted. Card was sent. I activated it. But it was restricted so I called capital one. After 90 minutes of wait time I was told to send them proof of ID, which I was happy to do as it helps protecting identity theft. I was happy that Cap One is taking these steps to protect me. This is as far as my happiness goes.
After about 3 days, I get a call from 1-866-381-0447 which I didnt answer thinking that it's scam. I got a voice mail, telling me its "capital one security" and asking me to call at 1-866-953-7904. So to summarize, I get a call from UNREGISTERED UNOFFICIAL number, and I was asked to call another UNREGISTERED UNOFFICIAL number. I call this number and after literally 60 min wait, I get this gentleman on the phone asking me all kinds of personal info. which I refused to give. Now I am tensed that someone stole my identity so I call the OFFICIAL capital one number. They said that no one called me. But I gave them the case number just to be sure, and they transferred me to same department and after again 60 min wait I was told the call was legit.
So capital one customers are most vulnerable to fraud because capital one uses this amateur method to reach clients and there is no way to tell if its legit call or scam unless you call them back at their official number and wait times are ridiculous. You probably need to take half a day off to get in touch with them. It took me a total of 3 hours+ to fix the issue. It's ironic that they block your card to protect your info, but call from random 1-866 numbers and ask for private personal info. !Class Action Lawsuit! waiting to happen. Many people will be scammed because of Cap One's reluctance to fix this flaw.
So to conclude, I have learnt not to give my info to random callers, but my friends can be naive, and capital one is not taking responsibility for this flaw. I have complained about this to abuse@capitalone and to the agents I spoke to but there is no response from them yet! I have planned to pay off my balance from an old cap one card and close it soon. I have no surprise that these guys were hacked and our info is out there somewhere due to their negligence.

The representative on the phone stated there was nothing they could do. I spoke to a supervisor and was given the same answer. When I told them I was taking my business elsewhere, the supervisor just said "okay".
I haven't used the card for months and transferred all my funds from Capital One bank as well. When I called back today to inquire about changing my card to another "product" where they are offering lower interest rates, I was told that if I changed products, the APR would stay the same. A new customer with an excellent credit rating can get a 13% interest rate, but my card will stay at over 17%? What the heck? I have a credit score of over 800. Apparently the only way to get a lower interest rate is to apply for a new card. Capital One does not care about its existing customers, only tries to attract new ones.

I've been a Capital One Visa holder since 1999 and it's only been in the last several years, after moving abroad, that I've had the most trouble with them. This last was the tipping point which has me looking for a new card. Due to work, I live abroad and come home to the US every year or so. I also travel quite a bit. However, in the last 2 years not only have they made it so that those living overseas can longer access their website, any attempt to use the card outside of the US immediately locks the card so it cannot be used.
Every month I have to call to pay my bill over the phone because I do not have a US phone number to receive a 'special access' pin which would allow me into the website (this used to be emailed but they have taken that service away and it is now only available to those with a US cell number which I do not have). Each month I explain that I live overseas and that I am using my card as it's my main credit card. Every month I'm told, "we're so sorry for the inconvenience, it's now been unlocked and you should be able to use it with no hassle."
This last call was the icing on the cake. For 3 weeks I have been trying to buy airline tickets for the upcoming holiday season. 2 weeks ago, again, my card was locked so I called to inquire and the girl informed me I should have signed up for the email notifications - then I could just click the button saying that the purchase was by me. Yes, I had that service- CAPITAL ONE TOOK IT OFF MY ACCOUNT! She unlocked my account and said I should be able to purchase the tickets with no problem but as I explained to her, the tickets that I needed were no longer available and I had to rearrange travel dates now and would try again the following week.
Today I called yet again because the card was locked after attempting to purchase airline tickets again. The customer service representative, John, was not only completely unhelpful, he refused to allow me to speak to a manager or supervisor stating 'there are none on duty on Saturdays' - really?! They let a whole floor of customer service representatives have entire shifts with no supervisor or manager on the floor?????
He then informed me that NOT ONLY WOULD HE NOT HELP ME, THERE WAS NO WAY HE COULD UNLOCK MY CARD! This I called out - every month I have to call to have my card unlocked so I know it can be done. He then stated, it was for "my own protection for identity theft" but he would be happy to send me a pin number over my cell phone! Again, I stated I didn't have a US number, I call from SKYPE! - and his reply, "Don't you have a roaming US number?" Why would I have a roaming US number when I don't live in the US!?!?!?! I literally had just gone done explaining this entire issue to him but clearly was response was not on his script of what to say or do in this situation.
Admittedly, by this point we have been on the phone for a while and I lost my cool. He then proceeded to tell me that he wouldn't be able to assist me for 'my own identity protection' to which I replied, what identity are we talking about?! I've given you my social security number, birthday, card number, Security number on the back of the card, address, answers to every security question and have told you what the purchase is for, who the vendor is, and the damn amount in question! What don't you understand that I am who I say I am?
Not only was the situation not resolved - my card is still locked and I am unable to purchase my airline tickets! - but he then went on to tell me perhaps I should look for a different credit card! I've been a loyal customer for 20 years and this is how I am treated. Not only is the representative unhelpful, kept reading from a script, would not allow me to speak to a manager or supervisor on duty, refused to unlock my account after giving ALL INFORMATION TO THEM - even more than they asked!!!- and then told I should take my business elsewhere.
Yes, Capital One, I will take my business elsewhere. As soon as I hung the phone, I immediately applied for a credit card with a different company.

In my opinion, for an institution that was hacked once already, they are seriously deficient when it comes to protecting their customers against financial fraud. When it comes to checking accounts, all they pretty much offer is merchant per merchant block, reimbursement (which, based on many reports online, they have been known to reverse after weeks), closing the hacked account and opening a new account (sure, so we open a new one when my "new" account is hacked again and on and on and on?) which misses the whole point: lack of proper and efficient fraud protection for their customers.
Those common hacks should not happen to begin with. Other banks offer fraud protection services that monitors your account and calls you when there is unusual activity. When asked why they do not do that, their response: "too many customers to monitor each account"!!! WOW! That is bank equivalent to "the dog ate my homework". Needless to say, if your Capital One account is hacked once, shame on them. If you take their "advice" and close the hacked account and open a new account with them instead of running away as fast as you can....

I am writing to refer an incredibly bad experience of customer service support I just had with one of the representatives at the Capital One’s call center. I have posted a transaction via my credit card last night on an unsecured website for the amount of $75. I only noticed that this website was not secured after I had inserted my card details and processed the transaction. This happened at 11/29/19, 01.30am. I tried to call the merchant to cancel my transaction, however the number on their website is not working. My concern is that a) I inserted my card details on a website that is not secured and there might be a possibility of fraud and b) i needed to protect my account and cancel the transaction before it gets posted to the merchant to avoid further implications.
Capital One representatives made me aware that Capital One cannot protect any cardholder from a fraudulent transaction until this is posted on the cardholder’s account. The only option would be to dispute this after this is posted on the cardholder account. To the extend of my knowledge, the cardholder has the right to cancel any transaction made within 24h before funds are transferred to the merchant. In case there is no such possibility through Capital One’s visa credit card, I would like to receive the policy that applies to the cardholder rights. I requested to receive the policy in written or referred to the terms and conditions in regards to cancellations and disputes. None of the two representatives were able to refer me or give me a complete answer.
The only suggestion was to wait to dispute and then talk with a representative in disputes department. On top, I was supposed to be talking already with the disputes senior manager, as when I called I asked to be transferred to this department to discuss my case. Hence, the disputes department was not able to provide not even the simplest information so as to when and whether my funds would be credited back once I initiate the dispute process. In overall, apart from the fact that I did not receive any decent guidance from your senior manager on how to treat this situation or felt secure that Capital One has the procedures in place to protect my account, I must say that till now the actual fear of fraud exists and might affect my account.

Capital One takes advantage of people in need. They give more credit than you can afford to pay off and then attack you when you get behind on payments. I’ve had a card with them for 10 years. And have always kept up with it. I’ve become seriously ill and have been unable to keep up with payments. There is no program set up to assist for illness or accident. Even though I have contacted them many times explaining what has happened, they continue to harass me day after day with texts and phone calls. They are causing me undue stress in a time that I am struggling for my life. STAY AWAY. You will regret getting a credit card from capital one.

Have had the card for the past year and have had nothing but issues since about the second month. Problems came about when I paid the same bill twice and had requested to have the amount credited back to my Capital One account. All was well for about 2 weeks, I faxed them the required bank statements and worked with them. They credited me back the amount and then about 3 weeks later, without warning, took the amount back causing my card to go way over balance.
They never had any issue accepting my payments before this incident. Even after authorizing a payment to be made over the phone (which is what they told me needed to be done), my account still showed a returned payment. I always had sufficient funds in my account to cover any payment, so balance on my end was never an issue. On top of all this, the 4 people I’ve spoken with over the phone calls were extremely short with me and rude. This incident has since ruined my credit score, the account has been closed, is 4 months delinquent, and has severely changed my outlook on this company for the worst. Definitely would not recommend CapOne.

This bank is the worse when trying to talk to anyone on their service department and ones you do get a hold of someone they will click the call and you will have to waste more time to get a hold of someone just not to be help, and do not ask to speak to a supervisor. They will immediately click or they're not available.. I used other banks for car loans and never had to deal with so much stupidity to make a payment or to fix a late payment in my life.. First and last time I'm using this bank. Stay away....

I had a problem where my account was restricted. I called up their customer service line and the girl mispronounced the street names which led me to get the questions wrong. Now I was sent to the fraud department where they ask me for a copy of my state id, my ss card and a bank statement. I do not have a state id or a driver's license as I have a passport. I included a photo of the passport and the ss card. I tried to include my bank statement but they refused to accept it. They were complaining because of the bank account number is blacked out.
I use Ally Bank and they do this to all my bank statements. I cannot understand why they need my bank account number if it is simply to verify my residency. If there are any questions they could have simply sent a letter to the address on file and ask me to provide them with the word or series of numbers printed on the paper sent. Regardless they have refused to allow me access to my account. I am working overseas in China as a teacher and do not need this type of stress. This card is great for those who reside in the USA but for someone who travels like I do it is a complete nightmare of a company to deal with.

I had an issue with Capital in December 2015, where I promptly paid off my outstanding balance and asked them cancel my card and close my account. My card was then charged in November 2016 - almost a year later. I called and was told my account was closed. My card was then charged in November 2017...and November 2018...and November 2019. Even though my credit card was closed in 2016. Each year it’s charged by a different vendor, gets declined the first two times the vendor tries to charge my card and gets put through the third time the vendor charges the card. Capital One has been unable to explain how they can decline payments twice and let them go through the third time and also are unable to tell me how a card that was closed years ago still continues to be active. I have the same conversation with them every year and am on the hook every year for a payment I didn’t authorize with a credit card I do not own.

Riddle me this Capital One - If I take advantage of PROMOTIONAL OFFERS - Where the CONSUMER has the understanding that they need to pay it off by a certain time frame - Why do you then get to determine how MY PAYMENTS are being applied?? Why why why do you have the right to apply MY MONTHLY PAYOFF FOR PURCHASES? Why the hell DO YOU GUYS SPREAD THAT PURCHASE PAYMENT to the balance transfers??!!
I'll tell you why! To rob people and get any penny you can get! Every month for months I have been dealing with an hour plus on the phone with these thieves. I have taken advantage of balance transfers and ensure if I have a AN ACTUAL PURCHASE where I actually use my credit card - that I pay off indeed WHAT I ACTUALLY PURCHASED!! But guess what these thieves like to do.... They take this "PAYOFF" that you think you did and yield it across the balance transfers first, leaving your "payoff" for the month... SHORT!!!
So guess what? Next thing you know - (and worse if you don't even use your CC) and just have it on auto pay for the "balance promotional transfers" - you start getting hit with interest cause they state "you didn't pay off their INTEREST SAVER" payment" - ???? Which includes a portion of the balance transfers?!!! Which also angers me cause YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL ME I HAVE A PROMOTIONAL OFFER then expect to tell me WHAT I need to pay off on it monthly!!! Just like the freaking government - taxes and all this matrix hell - they keep you misinformed just to keep on robbing us blind. Shame on you Capital One!

On October 28, I found out that Capital One switched my Essential checking account out for a Simple Checking Account without my permission. Their excuse was that it was upgraded to a online 360 account. My direct deposit prior to this migration to an unwanted would be deposited on Saturday. I was informed by my employer, a Capital One Rep, and an FAQ on the Cap One Bank website that nothing should change but that was untrue. Three deposits later I am still getting my deposit according to my employer on Saturday but Capital One has changed their tune. I spoke to a Capital One bank manager name Ms. **, who thought it was a great idea to be patronizing, to explain that not only will they not resolve this issue but my deposits will come in between Monday and Friday.
This manager Ms. ** continuously spoke over me throughout our conversation as if I made the decision to switch my checking account when I did not. For this I will be moving my account to my old banking institution which was not much better but at least I could count on them not making unnecessary changes to my accounts without my permission.

When I told her that it wasn't normal and no other bank or credit card did this, she then proceeded to say that it was a Federal law to hold access for 7 days. I told her that she was a liar and that I should know because I worked for Bank of America for several years and that neither Chase or Wells Fargo does that and they're both major banks. She then said that she was just following the rules. I told her that I was going to pay them off and send them back the card in pieces!!!

I never received the email link the lady said she would send and I called them back 7 days later to get it.

On Oct 5 I contacted Capital One to have them deny a payment for a purchase I had just made over internet. The supplier advertised buy 3 get 2 free at a discounted rate. After purchase made I was charged full price, no discount price from Website nor free bottles advertised on their website. Although supplier has return policy they refused to give me an RMA on two occasions. I called Capital One & asked they deny charges because supplier were charging me more than advertised. To me that is a fraudulent charge. I don't speak Capital One-eese so I didn't know that I should never mentioned the word fraud (even though that is the crime that went down.) I didn't know which department to send the claim. Since the pricing charged versus what they advertised were different it seemed fraud was their game.
Capital One folks sent me to fraud department. I thought they knew the right department. I've since learned that employee training is not valued. I was notified that fraud wasn't found. That is based upon the fact that I had given supplier my card information, didn't matter I reported the incorrect pricing. According to Capital One supplier can charge whatever they like, even if you notify them of the incorrect pricing. Since they sent it to the fraud department (called Fraud & Dispute how as I suppose to know there is a high silo dividing the 2 and if customer gets the wrong dept or Capital One directs you to wrong group, customer eats the cost because Capital One doesn't take responsibility for their errors.
I also learned that no supervisors or managers can be named. No one can tell you where Corporate Headquarters are. There is NO WAY TO ELEVATE ERRORS OR POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Watch your wallet. Or better yet, keep Capital One out. They are not a customer advocate and even if you contact them within minutes of a fraudulent charge they will let pass because supplier has your card number (that's been cancelled) & can charge when and where they want. No supervisors or managers take calls or make calls. Apparently no one is in charge of Customer Service.
Now I learn that once Capital One identifies a claim as fraud they can't change it to dispute (I didn't know that was the magic word). I spoke with 3 different account managers and got the same answer. Bottom line, supplier screwed me by charging me more than advertised and Capital One screwed me because they sent me to wrong department to handle complaint. I have to find a way to get my money back because I don't have the $198 for Capital One. They couldn't get customer to issue a credit. They are totally INEFFECTIVE dealing with crooks. I wouldn't recommend Capital One to anyone. If you have a card from them, use the scissors and save yourself grief when dealing with customer service at Capital One.

I looked into doing a balance transfer because of the interest. I researched on a few websites that compared different credit cards, looking into 0% balance transfer offers. I went with Capital One & that was a horrible decision!! It says on their own website & 3rd party websites that they have 0% APR on purchases & balance transfers for 15 months. I signed up, got approved, & transferred my balance from my old CC to the Quicksilver card.
I realized later on my monthly statements I'm being charged 21.74% interest! That is much higher than my previous interest rate. Capital One tells me I agreed to these terms and there is nothing I can do & they refuse to refund me for the interest charges. Why would anyone switch over to a higher interest rate?! Then they even tried to tell me I do have an offer of $150 cash back if I spend $300...why would I make more purchases if you already took my money?! Do not go with them!!

The take advantage of people in need of credit with insane interest rates. I paid my balance off expecting to have a zero balance, and I did. I checked back a few days later and it said I owed like three dollars. No big deal. I figured extra interest as my payment in full took a few days to post. So I paid the three dollars. This all paid before the due date. So I was at zero balance.
So now like three days later I check back to make sure all is good and I find they just added an additional charge of like $150.00. I call them they tell me it’s additional interest. I tell them when a balance is paid in full that should be the end of that. That’s not how Capital One works. They screw you when you owe them and screw you when you don’t. DON’T LET THEM SCREW YOU. I had no choice but to pay them the $150.00 so I could close the account as when I called them they had no interest in helping me. They lost me as a customer. My wife just canceled her card.

NO NO NO! There is a huge scam going on...either Capital One is paying off writers to give good reviews or I don't know. This is NOT a real bank, they do NOT comply with standard banking practices. Let me explain: Paycheck/Salary direct deposits take 1-2 days to clear with any other bank. Capital One will credit your electronically deposited salary (direct deposit) after 5-7 business days - how is that even legal? Manually deposited checks or mobile check deposits can take easily 7-10 days to clear. Their app and web interface is terrible, confusing, it uses non-standard language making it often impossible to figure out what is actually going on and what your real balance is.
For example....if you make any deposit it is represented with a beautifully designed square icon and among other information will display the line "Send on: With a date in the future". So I deposited a check, then I made an electronic transfer into the Capital One checking account both on November 2nd. Both deposits eventually showed up as the above described icon with the line: "Send on November 15th".
Now of course I am not sending any money. I am waiting for the deposit to be available. So I called customer service and it was explained to me that the term "send: followed by date" is Capital One's way of telling you when the deposit will clear (is available). When I asked whether they understand that sending money is the opposite of depositing money and that a line stating my deposit will be "send" with a future date is totally concerning I was told "well we use the term "send" to tell you when your deposit clears". Come again? I could go on with similar issues with their credit cards. This is the worst bank ever. Luckily I didn't yet close my Chase accounts and so I am spending tomorrow to get everything switched back to them.
