    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. Other companies waived service charges etc to help me out during my husband's illness but Capital One would not even talk to me. I recommend taking your business to MBNA.

    This company is terrible. I was buying a Christmas present across the street from my house and the card was declined for security, for a $70 charge. I had to use a different card. ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE ADDRESS I HAVE ON FILE AT A MAJOR RETAILER. Then the agent hung up on me for being upset about the incident. I cancelled the account immediately and will never use this company again. The agent tried to manage my "feelings" rather than solving the problem, typical lousy customer service.

    I wouldn't even rate Capital One a "1 star", I would rate them in the negatives a hundred times over!!!! I called the customer service line 4 times and was left on hold and then disconnected when I was to speak with a customer service representative. I have been on hold for over an hour and still haven't had my issue resolved. When I tried to connect online through Chat the representative could barely write in English. I am not impressed with Capital One right now and am considering cancelling my card. This is very frustrating and a waste of time. I pay my bills on time and am a valued customer. Don't get a Capital One card, opt for a different company, as this one does not stand behind their product.

    I spoke to ** agent ID. This boy never understood the reason why I called. He kept on cursing and arguing with me. This was the issue "Maybe people reading can understand and help me." 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. The customer agent I spoke to keep me on hold for longer than enough and then she said they don't have a Manager tonight for me. So I said I will come online to report this. Maybe the Digital SUPPORT ANALYST for Capital One can help speak to this boy to understand why I was calling instead of cursing and arguing with me on phone. Worst and ridiculous moment.

    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.

    I looked online for a zero interest credit card and found Capital One. I know at times account agreement information is in very small print, so I called and spoke with Marvin who assured me that Venture One was the card for me. On my very first statement was a $35.00 charge and I thought, must be a one time transfer fee, then in the second statement, $107.00, oh my gosh, I live on a fixed income! I called and spoke with Andrea whose answer was, "Unfortunately you received bad information and I'm sorry, we are unable to assist with ANY of those fees." I ask to speak with her supervisor, Jazelle, who basically gave me the same information, I'm sorry, I hear you and unfortunately, which aren't answers, just a way to get around an uncomfortable conversation. Very disappointed with the way this company does business and treats the customer once they have them "on board". I for one refuse to do business this way.

    The situation has been resolved; what concerns me is that it never should have happened. A company was making unauthorized charges on my credit card and I was told that these charges could be blocked. They were not and I've been going around in circles for the last two months trying to straighten this out.

    Of all my credit providers Capital is the least used and most subject to Fraud. They prolong investigation processes until the "small print" time frame expire to cover fraudulent charges, even if immediately identified, and if you're paying additional fees for protection. They use multiple delay tactics to have client ending up paying fraudulent charges. Be very careful, and if you have other options, use those. Capital One is off my list of providers. Absolutely shameful service. I don't wish their services on others in any circumstances, look elsewhere.

    This company is dishonest and will take advantage of you as a customer. I overpaid my account accidentally and was issued a refund check. I forgot to deposit it within the 180 day window. I subsequently called Capital One to have the check reissued. It has now been 5 months and I have not received the check. Capital One claims the matter is "under review". For 5 months? Makes me think they're waiting for me to forget so they can keep the money. Don't get taken advantage of and steer clear of Capital One.

    Capital One refuses to work with their existing customers. I have been a long-time customer with Capital One and had one of their credit cards for years. I spend a large amount on the card every month and do not keep a balance on the card. I called Capital One a few months ago to ask about an interest rate reduction. 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. Needless to say, I will be applying for a new credit card with a lower interest rate, but it will NOT be with Capital One. I'm done with these jokers!

    Last year, I made a purchase from a merchant oversea in the amount of a little bit more than $1,000. The amount was not approved and locked. I had to call the rep up and unlocked it. This year, learning from the previous experience, I called in advanced to make sure the transaction would be approved. Rebecca was the person who I talked to. Told me I do not need to call to get approval since it has a chip (really?) but she can not guarantee the transaction would go through??? I have been authenticated before talking to her, went through another screening, have enough funds in my card, called in advanced to get approval and still would not guarantee my purchase would go through? Then what would? Basically, they just do not care.

    I literally hung up and called other credit card company and they would gladly stay with me, monitor the transaction to make sure it went through successfully, which is important as I do not want my credit card bounce when the merchant is charging it. Many other cc card companies offer no transaction fee, no foreign exchange conversion commission as well, no just Capital One. We do not need to use Capital One if they do not care about customers. Capital One, what's in our wallet is none of your business!!

At that time I called and asked them to close the card and immediately paid the $51.21. I looked at my account on December 8, and discovered $9.94 in interest which is due January 1st.

    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. I'm appalled that in a globalized world, where many of us travel and live in different countries due to work, you not only don't understand this, you refuse to offer solutions when it is brought to your attention. I will never recommend this card or company!

    Capital One has attempted to enter the business arena with their Spark Business products. My experience has been a caution to other business owners. This is not your typical business account and not at all business friendly. While the interest rate is nice, you pay for it elsewhere. They don't have the capabilities to offer any standard business account tools and good luck getting a wire done - it's not happening. I've tried to sent 3 at various times and each and every one has been messed up. Basically the account is great so long as you never need them to do anything. Words of warning - stay away!

In term of financial institution, they have the worst customer service and also I felt discrimination. This matter needs to be taken seriously.

    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 was advised by Capital One that my info was compromised by the massive data breach in the in States when hackers stole account information. I didn't get a replacement card. However I was given 2 years free credit monitoring from Trans Union. Since the breach had already accrued and I am in Canada, I noticed that I was advised by my credit card and my loyalty cards to change my passwords because my info was compromised. Unfortunately my medical history for chronic medication prescription was also compromised by 3 suppliers which has never occurred. I had to send hours searching for users name and resetting my password. But what really got me upset was my medical history and my prescription drugs being compromised.

    I called Capital One on December 3 2019 for compensation of $50 for the inconvenience. I was offered $10 which I rejected and took as an insult since they had a duty to protect my personal information. They transfer me to the security department. I spoke to a rep and had to reiterate the entire incident, He put me on hold. Then a manager name Galdermer came on the phone and said, "You ask to speak to at manager." I said, "No but I will speak to you." I had to reiterate all the information again. He said my info was not comprised and if it was then I have to send him prove. I told him that I couldn't do that because I was not the fraudster.

    He kept speaking over me. I told him that I was the customer and he should be listening to my concerns. He really wasn't interested. He said that, "I am warning you that you that if you continue then I will disconnect the call. This is your 1st warning". The call was not going no way. He said the FBI has assured Capital One no accounts info were compromised. I asked him repeatedly if any Canadian accounts were comprised. He kept repeating no according to FBI which to mention US accounts. This gave me no reassurance. I was not pleased with his attitude and that time I didn't care about the $50 credit. I asked to speak to him manager. He refused. I was even willing to take a call back. He decided then that to say "This call is going no way and I am going to disconnect the call" and he hung up.

    I call customer service. Waited for 20 minutes. Asked to speak to supervisor to file complaint. Rep asked me to hold for another 20 minutes and hung up on me. Call back waited 20 minutes rep said will transfer call right away. Waited for 60 minutes holding. Finally supervisor answered and stated that CAPITAL ONE HAD ADVISED THEM NOT TO ISSUE ANY CREDIT FOR BREACH OF PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM STOLEN CAPITAL ONE DATA IN USA. He gave me a $30 credit for waiting 3 hours. Decided to post review. Extremely disappointed by the way the customer service is conducted at Capital One. I will not be using the card again. Who needs a card when they don't have enough security measures in place to allow hackers to steal personal information which in turn they can sell to other experienced fraudsters who can use name address and DOB to use information that Trans Union does not track.

    I have been a Capital One customer for close to 20 years; for both my business and personal cards. Up until now I would have given them 4 or 5 stars for customer service; however, I believe the application process deserves -3 stars! I accidentally applied for the wrong card, and I called and immediately told Customer Service that it was not the one I wanted and they cancelled the card. This was done within minutes of the on-line approval. I was told to just re-apply for the one that I wanted the next day. I did, and was declined; I called and the agent said I needed to wait a week. I re-applied and was declined. I called and the agent said to wait a month. I re-applied and was declined. I have an excellent credit rating, and could not figure out why I was being declined. Then I was told that Capital One does not allow anyone to apply for another card for 6 months after an application.

    There is nothing that can be done about this according to the agents. I requested a supervisor and got disconnected at transfer. I called back and got disconnected at transfer. Third time was not the charm... I called, got transferred, and there was so much static on the line that the call was... yup, disconnected. The agents were nice, and if I had a dollar for each them they said "I am so sorry you are having issues" I could pay off my house!! I do not believe I will ever (even after 6 months) apply for another Capital One card. The call center for applications is over-seas, the agents could care less, and all they do is apologize and then disconnect the call. Very frustrating and annoying!!

    I loved my Capital One credit card for over 12 years. Today, I requested a replacement credit card. Due to their excessive requests to prove my identify in numerous ways, I asked them to cancel my request for a replacement credit card. I was informed they cannot cancel such a request. Now, my credit card is frozen for TWO WEEKS because my government ID is too new; they cannot verify it. The manager refused to let me speak with his superior. The manager refused to give me the CEO's email address. The manager just repeated that he could not help me and my credit card will remain frozen for two weeks.

    Capital One was easy to deal with in getting approved through their prequalify page. And I tried to prequalify for a Kohls' card thru them as well. But was shot down for that but approved for there platinum card and Walmart card. And I only had a 580 fico score and a 645 vantage score. So don't give up easy and use the prequalifying page before getting a hard inquiry, cause with this option it does a soft pull. And after 5 on time payments they increase your limit from 300 to 500 dollars.

    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.

    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.

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.

    I applied for a Capital One business card no problem, received the email to tell me it was on the way, no problem. The credit card arrived and I put it away for safe keeping and lo and behold, I received a call from the fraud department asking me to upload some documents online, no problem. I never received the email link the lady said she would send and I called them back 7 days later to get it. I finally upload the documents they requested and I received another phone call to tell me on a Sunday when nothing is open they will call me back on Monday to verify the utility bill. No phone call was received so I called them back twice over the additional 7 days and now they want more documents.

    If they had cold feet they should not have issued the card in the first place and they still have not called back or emailed me expressing what they are looking for.

    If anyone one knows about business how on earth can you ask a sole proprietor for a certificate of incorporation? Absolute nonsense, A sole proprietor has a business name, a tax EIN number and a business account. I got a larger line of credit elsewhere. Goodbye and good riddance Capital One.

    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.

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.

    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.

I have a join account with him and access to his account, but there is no way for him to authorize me to call on his behalf to temporarily unlock his card so he can withdraw funds to buy himself a bus ticket. He tried to chat with bank agent and borrowed somebody else’s phone to call collect the bank, but guess what, that’s for credit card holders only. I am very frustrated and worried for my son, who is 21 and does not deserve this. Capital One does not have the customers’ back at all as they boldly claim!

    Just experienced a situation that cost me $60 down the drain. Scamming streaming service offers a free trial and says they will alert when the trial is up. They never alert you, it's well documented by many other people with this experience (Fubo.tv is the service). And then they also refuse to refund even if you cancel day 1 of the service, nobody does this anymore. Extremely sketchy business practices. And capital one takes their side and refuses to dispute it even though they broke their own terms by not alerting the user when the trial is up. I'll be switching to American Express as soon as possible.

    Capital One recently took over the Walmart credit card and in doing so the process shut down my online account. No notification was sent on how to access the account or who to contact for payments until after the due date. Upon calling customer service, I was placed on hold and had to repeat myself numerous times. After being sent to a “specialist,” I was read some statement that was supposedly sent out and justified them charging me a late fee. Capital One failed with their lack of communication, ridiculous fee, and incompetent customer service.

    This rating is 0 stars. I will admit that I am not the best customer. I forget to pay my bills on time. But I wanted to grow up and stop paying all these extra fees and interest so I decided on auto bill pay. Made a payment over the phone in May and requested Auto bill pay to start for the month of June. June goes by, beautiful weather, until I look at my bank account and realize that auto pay hasn’t gone thru on the date it should have been taken out.

    So I call and I am informed that No, auto bill pay has not been activated but the Customer Service Rep is so nice and apologies for the inconvenience and helps to set that up for me. Great! I am so happy! I also make a payment for the month of June that I missed. The late fee is also waived. Yay! Everything is looking up. I’m told what my minimum is and I round up a few $$, that way, as my minimum slowly decreases, my auto payment of $65 will pay off the balance a little more every month until the account is $0.00. No problems.

    A few months go by, auto pay is working out great. But then I open a notice from the Capital One and it states I am Past Due $198!! WTF?? I am so confused. How can that be? I open my statements for July, August and September and even tho I’ve made automatic payments of $65 on the due date, I have all these extra late fees charged on my account. So I call to figure this out. The Rep on the phone tells me he cannot help me and tells me to call back in a few weeks. So I do. I call back in the middle of October and another Rep on the phone tells me that no one is available to help me with my questions and to try back in a few days. I call back again.

    I’m starting to feel annoyed at this point. I spent my commute to work trying to understand what is wrong with my bill, trying to understand because of the Rep talking a little fast and the accent, and somehow being read the fine print of something I’m supposed to agree to, but I don’t understand what she is saying and by now, I’ve run out of time and need to punch in for work.

    I have to call back AGAIN and start the process all over again. I’m told that yes I’m paying $65 but it’s not covering the minimum amount due and that’s why I’m incurring all the extra fees. But how can that be? I’m paying a few dollars more than what the minimum due is. And then I’m told that my payments are late. No they are not because My bank statements show that the money is being taken out on time. Why would I request to pay my bill late? But I’m still past due and that my new auto bill pay amount would be $125! I don’t have the budget for that.

    It’s been an hour going back and forth and finally I speak to a Supervisor (both her and the Rep have been very nice, btw). She reviews my account and I explain to her what happened and then I’m told that in July when I set up the auto pay, the Customer Service Rep should NOT have told me what the projected minimum amount due was because of instances like this. My minimum shot up to $88 in July because of missing the payment in June instead of being $63. And then $123 for August. And then $159 for September. But yet that’s still my fault.

    Even though my July statement shows a payment for June and the fee waived, I’m still charged a late fee. All the supervisor can do is credit my account the $30 something and wish me a great day and I’m left with an account that’s Still past due $128. Because I can’t get the extra charges reversed somehow. Even though I was misinformed about my minimum due, it’s all my fault and I have to pay up. So make sure you keep all your papers, and just watch out for the activity on your card. I will never deal with Capital One again and will be closing out my Husband's card as well. 2 customers lost. It was fine up until this point. That’s too bad.

    Opened a credit card with Walmart August 2019, initially serviced by Synchrony and all payments made on time. Oct 2019 Walmart partnered with Capital One and moved over all of their accounts To be serviced by them. Capital One without notice closed my Walmart credit card account a few days ago, increasing my available credit ratio and lowering my credit score. They just made this switch with all of their accounts so I'm sure within the next few weeks thousands of people will be experiencing the same scenario. Capital One can do whatever they want when they want and do not care about their customers. Stay away from Capital One, when you need it most they will not help you.

I don’t think is fair for them to change their deposit policy just because they feel like it. This caused tremendous inconvenience for me.

    Over a period of 5 days have spent probably about 45 minutes trying to get to a human and probably another 15 minutes talking with untrained customer services reps. Early on was told Chrome was the only supported browser. [What about Apple? - but I use Windows.] "The department I needed to speak with" (to find out that I needed to use Chrome) "wasn't available until Monday." I.e., no real help outside normal business hours. Still have a lengthy prompting procedure where the computer says it "needs to identify your account" but it does not accept account numbers, only Federal IDs. Eventually you get to a person who gives you a number he repeatedly insists will solve your problem when they open in the morning.

    After another lengthy computer screening the person says you need to be transferred to another department. Another wait on hold. Then have to give Social security number again and account numbers in question. Cannot access the information through account number, need SSN even though computer screen that got you there already took it. Finally told that transfers between accounts have been deactivated, can do over phone. GIVE ME A BREAK! At the branch or by mail. She gave me a "direct line" for the department that could do inter-account transfers. Yeah - it was the same time waster I had started with. Maybe they are trying to encourage switching to their 360 program. One of the associates suggested that that only online service worked better. Why take the chance.

    The Walmart Credit Card has been taken over by Capital One. You should be aware of this prior to giving them your information. Capital One just had a breach of 106 million customers personal information. See article: **. Currently you will be routed to a call center in India to get your personal bank account information from you, as Capital One does not have an automated system where you can pay. Human beings in India will make judgements about what you say to them and note your account accordingly...a computer system is direct and nonjudgemental. You will spend more than twice the amount of time trying to make a payment this way, as you will have to answer all kinds of personal questions.

    The first call I made, the line connection was so bad I couldn't understand them and then it went dead. The second call I made when I asked to be transferred to the automated system, she transferred me to nowhere. The third call I made, I spoke with a supervisor who was expertly trained in her position and after a lot of back and forth, finally told me that Capital One doesn't have an automated system. And when I told her I would be making my payment in person, she said she'd note the account of the amount that I would pay - even though I told her I didn't want her to note my account! (I always pay more than what is due and that is the figure she wanted to note saying that is now the amount they expected to receive.) She was treating me like a debt collection instead of a customer!

    I have been a victim of credit card fraud involving the Capital One Silver One credit card that I own. On September the 30th, thieves made online purchases on Walmart AR (I live in Oklahoma City). I was notified 2 later and immediately disputed the charges. Of the charges, $303.06 were effectively charged to my card and another $303.06 were declined due to being over the card's limit. After spending around 1h speaking to a non-native English-speaking representative ("fraud department specialist") I received several emails reassuring me that I would not be penalized, as is their contractual obligation. However, the charges were made.

    I had another over-one-hour call with another non-native English speaking "fraud specialist," who was not familiar with the USA legal system and encouraged me to seek law enforcement. My card statement changed in front of me, on my computer screen, as they proceeded to lie, saying everything was taken care of. Another charge was done a few days later. Another hour on the phone. After that Walmart made what looked like two credits to my account and several days later Capital one charged me with $303.06 as “billing adjustment.”

    After so many charges, credits, adjustments, letters with discrepant numbers, I have no trust that my actual balance is accurate. Capital One only reacts to legal threats. Their consumer review is the worst in the scale, by thousands of customers. I took time analyzing them and Capital One actually infringed the law with several of them. Finally, they lost my card on the mail and were going to charge me for a third card. Had I not reminded them that that, too, would be illegal, to which they responded that they would not charge me anything, I am sure I would. In terms of billable hours, they owe me at least $1500. However, they have caused serious damage: I have hyperacusis. I had to be medicated because of the pain caused by the bad connection. I have filed complaints with 5 government agencies today.

I called Capital One to see what the problem was and they told me I missed a payment in August and as a result of late payment fees for August, my payment in September did not hit the minimum required by $5! Capital One never contacted me to inform me I missed a payment (no phone call or mail), but they did contact the credit bureaus to report me 30 days past due! When I spoke to Capital One they offered no assistance and actually scolded me for not checking my on-line statement - they don't send me paper bills anymore. I have never been late or missed a payment with Capital One, but they are content to collect late payment fees and destroy my credit over a payment that was $5 less than the minimum required.

    I have been a multifaceted consumer with them for years. I had a credit card, and made payments monthly. For some reason a payment was reversed. I was not notified until the credit reporting agencies let me know. I immediately logged on and corrected it, paid everything and reached out to my bank account to figure out the issue. My bank was confused just like me. Capital One never notified me that the payment was past due. I contact them and was advised there was nothing they could do. I filed a complaint with the CFPB and spoke with Janina at Capital One. The company came back and said they are not required to notify me of past due payment or payment due, even though I signed up for alerts, so they will not reverse the credit report.

    What do they have to gain from doing that? Other than being jerks. I have a credit card with AMEX, and I could call them and say I didn't want to pay last month, but if I square up my bill now will you report it to be good with the credit agencies. They will, because they care. Capital One doesn't and has nothing to gain damaging someone's credit.

    After putting 300.00 in my bank from my credit card they call it "cash in hand". So, they charge $6.60 for this action. The charge continues each month even if you take $1.00 cash. Also if you take a second cash out then it adds another 6.60 a month to your bill. The $6.60 per month for me has been 47 months to date "since 11/2015". The supposed cash was $300.00. Their charge alone exceeds the amount I took in cash and continues each month until the card is brought to a zero balance.

    If I were to make the minimum payment each month I would end up paying almost $2,000 for taking $300.00 cash in hand. This charge never stops until the card is brought to a ZERO BALANCE and then after you pay off the card they charge you another fee they call interest after the card is at zero balance with another charge of $6.60. If this isn't credit card fraud then there is definitely something wrong with the laws for credit card business. BEWARE! I have checked with several card companies and none of them do this but do charge a "one time fee" for cash in hand and dependent on the amount of cash of course.

    I opened a new card with CapitalOne and paid my first payment early. I check my account when they state it should have been processed and it has not come out of my bank and while it shows posted on the credit card’s balance it shows what appears to be a pending return payment message. Naturally I call customer service to investigate. I authorize through the system and get a rep who does not give me her name and gives me very general information at lightning speed. I ask her if she can verify any specifics and she tells me she doesn’t have my account up. All payment questions are the same she says. If it isn’t in on time it’s a late fee. Granted she has no idea of my due date or if I’m reading the pending charge correctly or anything, but who cares about giving out correct information, right?

    I ask for her supervisor and the next woman won’t give me the first reps employee ID because although she is the supervisor she doesn’t know it, or who I was talking to. This place doesn’t track calls or transfers or escalations and there is apparently zero accountability for what their reps are telling people. So I guess I’ll just have to figure out what to do by osmosis?

Called Capital One in May or June regarding a dispute with a transaction.They handled it well. Unfortunately, on their end they got the wrong charge and instead of crediting $99.99, they credited 96.00. First mistake. So they adjusted it later and everything was fine, until... The charge came back in the form of a "transaction rebill". I called them to dispute it. That's when they made several more mistakes.

They said they would handle it, that everything would be adjusted by next statement. Instead I received another form letter on September 25-29th (I was out of country), telling me the dispute is closed. The letter referenced the wrong charge. It referred to the original wrong amount of $96. Not the correct $99.99. My account has been credited $96 again, instead of me receiving a check for $99.99, as they said I would over the phone.

She assumed that the account is balanced and there is no further action on their end. She insists the math adds up, but when I explained it, it still is missing $3.99. She was unable to explain where my account was balanced. They said they had sent a check, but they did not, so that was a lie. They said it was credited but they failed to explain where. They insisted the $3.99 balanced the account, but they could not explain. Maybe they fixed it, I can't tell, because they don't know what's going on their own system.

On 9/13/19, my partner was informed that he had to leave on a business trip from LAX to ORD on 9/17/19. He called American Airlines on 9/13/19 to try to change his outbound flight. American Airlines told him that since we booked the trip through Capital One, they could not help and he would need to change the flight through Capital One.

    I called Capital One on 9/16/19 to try to change his flight, but was told that the systems were down so they could not help me or verify my identity. They told me that the problem could take hours to fix and I would need to call back. Since my partner’s flight was leaving the following morning of 9/17/19, we decided to just sacrifice the cost of his outbound flight booked through Capital One, and he booked a separate outbound flight through American Airlines.

    On 9/17/19, I checked both of us into the original outbound flight to avoid any issues with his round trip ticket. On 9/21/19, I went to check us both in to the return flight from PHL to LAX, and his reservation no longer existed. Neither Capital One nor American Airlines had tried to contact me to notify me that there was any cancellation of my partner’s flight. Secondly, the only reason that I couldn’t change my partner’s flight in the first place was because Capital One’s systems were down.

I called Capital One on 9/21/19 and was on the phone with them for hours on the night of my friends’ wedding trying to sort out the issue so that he could get home the next day. Capital One told me that when someone doesn’t take the outbound flight on a round trip reservation, the airline cancels their return flight. I informed the customer service rep that I had tried to change my partner’s outbound flight the day before his trip but was told that Capital One’s system was down.

    Capital One would not re-book the flight that I had originally paid for, and instead bullied me into buying a new return ticket for my partner for $658.30. I had no choice but to purchase him a ticket home because otherwise he would be stranded. I also didn’t want to waste any more time on the phone with Capital One during the wedding that we had traveled there for in the first place, so I booked another return flight for him and decided I would call back at a later time to sort out the issue.

    I called Capital One on 10/2/19 to try to sort this out again, and was passed from customer service rep to customer service rep, all of whom could not help me. Finally, I was transferred to a supervisor named Cassandra who was extremely rude right off the bat, and before even hearing anything about the situation said to me, “We’re not giving you a refund”. I proceeded to explain the situation to her, and throughout the conversation she accused me of lying about calling to cancel my partner’s flight and also said that there is no record of Capital One’s systems being down. Then after speaking with her for about an hour without a resolution, she hung up on me.

    I’m not sure why Capital One is making this seem like it’s my fault that I couldn’t change my partner’s flight when they are the only ones who had the power to change his flight, and they could not do it because of their internal technical issues. Did I cause those technical issues for Capital One? No. Did I have the power to change my partner's flight through American Airlines instead of going through Capital One? No. So how did Capital One want me to handle this issue?

    Why even use Capital One Travel if they are not going to look out for their customers and communicate any issues regarding their travel reservations? I was under the impression that since I am a loyal customer, booking travel through Capital One would mean I’m getting even better customer service than booking through the airlines. The airlines are always very accommodating when it comes to issues that arise, and I’ve used other travel services including Chase Sapphire’s travel service, and they have provided nothing short of excellent customer service and communication. The complete opposite of what I’ve experienced with Capital One.

    I will be able to provide phone records from my cell phone provider of my calls to Capital One and American Airlines as requested by Cassandra, not that I should have to jump through any more hoops because this whole situation is Capital One’s fault. Also, Capital One and American Airlines’ calls are all recorded, so there will be a record of every single call that I mentioned here, including the call I made to Capital One when the gentleman told me that the systems were down. I would also like a copy of my recorded conversation with Cassandra because if that is the type of customer service that Capital One is providing to their customers, then people deserve to know about it.

    All I am asking to be reimbursed for the second return flight that I had to book for my partner on 9/21/19 amounting to $658.30, which I believe to be very fair considering all the stress and money that Capital One Travel has cost me.

    Not very pleased with this company either! So since transferring $150 over to the Citibank I tried to contact Capital One to ask if there was anything that they could do to help me. They told me there was nothing they could do except refuse the funding and basically claim that I didn’t authorize the transaction at Citibank. At the end of the day it was a huge runaround. And I got absolutely nothing accomplished. There is nothing they can do to help me is all they said. I truly have appreciating being the one that has to be patient. I’m not good at this.

    I banked with Capital One since I was 18. I’m now 31. I “HAD” 4 savings accounts and 2 checking accounts and a credit card with them. All in great standing....On July 2nd (2019) I did my first transaction with my brand new microblading business using the Quickbooks merchant app. It was for $220. Everything went through great, no problems and 2 weeks later I moved $100 from the acct. The money was in over to another acct. When I did that I immediately get an email saying my $220 transaction wasn’t submitted - or something like that. I call Quickbooks and they say they’re closing my acct because It looks like fraud was reported on my first transaction. That I need to contact my bank because everything on their end processed and went through.

    So I call Capital One - Well they said the transaction for $220 was reported by Chase as fraudulent. I contacted my client and she said she does bank with Chase but did not report It as fraudulent. I call Capital One and they say they can’t do anything unless they hear from Chase but I ask if they can call so we can all be on a call together and talk and they said they can’t call them.

    So I go to my bank branch because after many conversations like this I’m getting nowhere. The branch was trying to help and at the same time my client went to Chase we were all speaking on speaker and Chase said there was no fraudulent notifications or accusations on the account. That the $220 went through and everything is good on their side. While Capital One insisted the fraudulent alert case from Chase - but would never provide me the proof - a form or document from Chase - Chase said there’s nothing at all on their side about any of this. Then Capital One leaves It up to me to get an official letter from Chase emailed to Capital One's fraudulent department.

    On top of that Capital One informs me my accounts are all frozen and I can not access them until this is resolved.... yeah.... So I contact Chase and they said they have never heard of emailing another bank and they can not do this. So I contact Capital One. This person tells me nobody should have said anything about an email and she gave me a fax number to have the letter faxed to.

    After I sign up for an account with Chase, with the same banker who my client was using so they knew the whole story, he typed me up a letter on Chase letterhead stating there was no fraudulent charges with that account etc. then faxed it to the number Capital One gave me. Well after a week I call Capital One and they say they never received anything so I repeated the number they gave me and turns out that's not a correct fax number. Great job Capital One....

    So I get another fax number, I go to chase bank and ask them to fax It for me and after a lot of pleading, they do It for Me, because they do not fax things for people to other banks. I don’t know why but apparently it’s a big deal they do not do. They made an exception for me. So it’s faxed. Yay. I call capital one immediately - they tell me give It 24 hours.

    I call 2 days later and yes they received It but they can’t tell me anything other than it’s received. I call 2 days later. They tell me someone has opened the account but they’re not in the office. So keep in mind every time I call It takes me at least 30 minutes to get through to the correct department. So after 6 weeks now of calling them and now they just transfer me to a voicemail. They say they can’t see my funds or anything that they have terminated the relationship so the only thing they can do is transfer me to the fraud voicemail that the capital one computers tell them to do...

    So for the past 6 weeks I’ve been calling and leaving messages and nobody calls me back. Tried again today and that’s when they said they can’t do anything but transfer me. I don’t have a lot of money. They are holding - $114 to be exact but this entire situation has debilitated starting my business. I couldn’t accept cards for a long time and now quickbooks will not EVER work with me and this company again as far as the merchant side goes. And capital one will not talk to me or return any of my voicemail calls.

Next year, or when I finish school, I would not have an issue with this.

    It makes me wonder where this society is headed to think this kind of behavior is okay. If I were to start using this card, even after waiving it, I think it would be fair to charge me.

Well sure as ** no card. So I call back and they say there is problems so I need to contact a different department. Well got transferred then on hold for 48 minutes.

Call back again and talked to not 1 rep but 4 different rep.

    I got so mad that when I asked for a supervisor I got hung up on. Then called back to talk to my 5th rep and she said that on September 27th my identity was confirmed and my card has been mailed out. Ummm what? I never did that.

    As embarrassed as I am to admit I fell for an email scam, I did. I received an email from what I thought was my client asking me to purchase gift cards that I would be reimbursed for. Knowing my client (I have known him for 40 years) and his personality, this not a request that would put up red flags. In hindsight, I wish I had questioned it more but long story short, I spent $3500 (I admit I used the card and allowed the charges) that I will now never get back. I did everything I could do to report the issue (contacted the company the gift cards were purchased from, filed a police report and reported it to the FTC). I supplied all this documentation to Capital One's fraud department in hopes they would help me out in recouping this money. I am by no means a wealthy person and losing $3500.00 from my SMALL business account was a real financial blow.

    Capital One took ZERO time to consider the documentation I supplied (apparently, I file false police reports after buying a ridiculous amount of gift cards) and said they could do nothing as I purchased the cards. What they are failing to see is that I was still a victim of fraud. I am out $3500.00 and the thieves win. The ONLY reason I ever opened this account was because Schwab (my personal bank) doesn't do business accounts. I would never have even considered anyone besides Schwab...for this very reason. They have not done anything to protect their customer. I was scammed and it was my own fault...done, dusted, end of story.

    It would just be nice to think that I have a bit more protection from my bank when scams are getting more and more prevalent. I am now in the process of closing my account with them because I feel no peace of mind from this company. It was basically the equivalent of being told I was stupid enough to fall for the scam and now I suffer the consequences. Maybe if you are lucky enough to never have anything like this happen to you, you will be fine and happy with Capital One, but just know that IF something does happen to you, they will not have your back.

    Customer service is awful. I have spent over 2 1/2 hours sitting in the bank over the past few weeks trying to open a CD for a non-profit organization. Our organization already had a savings account with the bank, so you would think this wouldn’t be that difficult. I was wrong. Nobody knew how to do it. First they could find our file and it took them 45 minutes to find it.

    You sign in and then sit (a long time) while the tellers help everyone that entered the bank after you. Finally when the bank is empty and the tellers have finished talking with each other since there are no customers, one of the tellers will ask if they can help you. During my last trip to the branch (4th time trying to open the CD), I decided I would just get in the teller line. Once I got to the teller, she said I had to go sign in and wait. I told her I had already tried that with no success and had already waited for over 2 1/2 hours. She didn’t care.

    I then tried to set up an appointment to meet with the branch manager and she said the next appointment she had available was in 7 days.

You can apply for another card if you want." Seriously people, something went terribly wrong with this interaction. She was rudely interrupting me during the entire conversation and then played it off like she was the benevolent one. This has left a very bad taste in my mouth for this company.

I thought it was going to be a simple call since I recently activated the card, maybe they do this for protection of the customer I thought to myself. Martha attempted for several minutes, then several more minutes. She reset everything and asked that I try again, I tried and it was declined. Martha tried everything again, it has been well over 30 minutes with no resolution and it was after 10:30 at night, so I said I will just try the card tomorrow.

    Next day, and card still declined on me. I call and speak to Shea, she proceeded to tell me that I needed to send them my driver's license to verify it was me. I said that ain’t gonna happen, and I have many cards and NEVER been asked to send them my DL! I have verified it was me when they sent me texts messages and I had to click “yes” and I also verified what I tried to buy, and the bill pays I had already created. Who else would know this info??? So I call again after work and speak with Tammy, she is just as useless as the others I recently had the displeasure of interacting with since nobody here can simply resolve my card issue after days of this. I said I wanted to cancel and she asked why. I told her the situation that I still cannot use the card and it still says “restricted” on the app.

    I said, "If I can’t use the card and you can unlock it, there really is no reason to keep a card, right?" Of course she didn’t even try and fix it, she just read me some disclaimer that if I have outstanding bills or balances that I still need to pay them. I interrupted her and said I can’t even use the damn card so how can there be a balance? This is why I canceling, and honestly she didn’t really seem to comprehend my issue. They must just hire the bottom of the barrel here, so sad! But, now I realize why I have been a long time American Express user, they are just a much better put together organization that can always fix my problem in one phone call and just a couple of minutes. Please beware of this difficult company, you will regret this card.

    In a nutshell, they don't send you the card you applied for. I applied for a card with 0% interest on balance transfers. I got my card in the mail and tried to do a balance transfer online. It was showing there was an astronomical interest rate on the transfer. I DID NOT COMPLETE THE TRANSFER. I immediately called Capital One and I was assured that my interest rate was 0% on balance transfers and the issue would be resolved. I received my first statement and there was a $87 interest charge. I called again. They promised me I would receive credit and would honor the 0% interest. I received my 2nd statement. NO CREDIT and and $86 interest charge. I called again. This time they say there is nothing they can do and I'm not allowed to speak with whomever made the decision to deny my request.

    Unbelievable! I have had this business credit card for years and have NEVER had a late payment! I paid the total card balance of over $10, 000 a few days before autopay was due. Then autopay deducted over $8500. So the card had a negative $7000 balance. I asked them to return my money as I obviously did not want that deducted since I had paid off the full balance. They talked to my bank Chase to make sure the funds had been deducted. Then told me it would be 5 days for them to reissue the funds!!!! It took them 2 hours to get the funds from Chase and they are taking 5 days and then said Chase may take 5 days. And I need the funds now!!!! **!!!! Predatory Lending!!!

    Shocked to see my Mastercard has gone 5 times my credit limit! I only have 300$ credit limit on my Mastercard so I barely use it. Just for emergency purposes. 3 weeks ago, my car got a problem so the insurance company gave me a rental car. The rental car, took 150 for security deposit fee. I returned the car after 22 days, nothing seems happened. 3 days later, I got my statement of account from Capital One and it blows my mind, I was charged $1586 by the car rental. So I went to the car rental to take a breakdown of the money and took a receipt to deal with the insurance company.

    My concern is, how could I go 5 times beyond my limit, without Capital One notifying me as customer? Ridiculous! I tried using 300$ once, it was declined. How could this car rental charged me, 5 times my credit limit, and Capital One allowed it to happen? Totally crap!!! Where is the customer safety in here?!

After speaking to Customer Support and a Supervisor, they stated that they could not honor the Refund Request because it takes 1-2 billing cycles for the billing update to process.

    When I stated that I received a letter confirming the request was completed, they said that it is only to show that they received the request. They would not be able to honor a Past Due refund even though the letter they had sent was inaccurate.

    Capital One/worst bank ever. I agree 100%. I was suspected of depositing a fraudulent check from Wells Fargo. Which turns out to be a great bank. Capital One gave me the runaround and did not offer a solution to the situation. I had just had a major surgery and not fully recovered. Capital One blocked my online access and proceeded to place their foot on my neck hoping I would fall. Wells Fargo stepped right in, ran an investigation, offered a solution and took care of the matter from beginning to end as well as paid any fees I may have accrued. STAY AWAY FROM THE BANK CAPITAL ONE. CAPITAL ONE IS NOT A MAJOR BANK ON THE PLAYING FIELD AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AS WELL AS SECURITY ARE BELOW STANDARDS!

    I filed a complaint over a week ago and also re-deposited the money and still haven't received access to my money! I have been with Capital One for over 10 years without incidence. I just want my money so I can close both of my checking accounts, my savings account and cancel all credit cards with them. I too will now just be banking with my credit union. My Credit Union, Chase, Wells Fargo and Citibank was all amazed at the handling of the situation but all stated I am not the first when it comes to Capital One they are known for this in the industry. What would you expect from a small town bank. Definitely not exceptional customer service to someone who has and still does have excellent credit with 100% on time bill payment history.

Upon paying off my VERY LARGE credit card balances in full, I had been working with a representative who offered me a credit courtesy of 2 months interest taken off my bill if I could pay my credit cards in full. Excited about that, I made it happen but when it came time to pay off the balances in full, that offer was retracted. I have dealt with Capital One for almost 2 months dealing with this issue and now they claim that I never made that phone call because it’s not showing in THEIR records, yet it shows in mine... to top it off, out of frustration of being treated horribly on the phone by numerous reps, and being lied to, I decided to just pay off the full balance and not deal with this company anymore.

    Upon doing so, while my payment was processing, another small interest fee of $8.22 shows up on my acct after the payment has been made. I call in today to get that waived and they refused! I literally just made a $6,300 payment and they won’t remove $8.22? How petty, greedy and disgusting of a company do you have to be that you won’t remove $8!?

    I've had a Capital One Visa for over 20 years and called to see if they would lower my APR (which I've never done before). Their "records" showed me as a customer only since 2002, while I've had this card since the mid-90s. This card is actually one of the first credit cards I ever had, but okay, 2002. Whatever. When I asked to have my APR lowered, they said they would give me a promotional rate for 6 months to lower my APR and then I could call back to get a new promotional rate. If I didn't, then my standard rate would apply. So, I'm supposed to jump through hoops every six months to get a lower interest rate? Yup, they wouldn't budge. They didn't care that I'm going to take my business elsewhere, even though I didn't really want to. I guess they've got enough customers that losing one who has been with them for 20 years is of no concern. Thanks for the appreciation, Capital One.

After being transferred to 5 different representatives (and, according to my phone, 28 min 14 sec), I was told that they would have to call me back in 2 or 3 days. Is the time and effort that I spent this morning WORTH $1.38??? I utilize the bonus savings associated with use of the card to make purchases at CostCo.

I have been traveling abroad and using this card almost daily for 3 months without issue. I attempted to book an Airbnb room and the purchase was suddenly declined. Keep in mind I have booked rooms with Airbnb with this very card 3 times in this country already.

    I called Capital One to ask what was up and they said there was a fraud attempt on my account with Airbnb. I assured them that there was no fraud and that it was me who attempted the purchase. What followed was about 3hrs of phone conversations, holds, transfers, and an ever increasingly Byzantine set of verification procedures. It reached the point where I was told that I must text Capital One photos of the front and back of my ID in order to use my card. This must also be done using a phone number I no longer had access to due to being abroad.

    All of this and I never reported a single incident of fraud. I felt as though they subjected me to all the checks imaginable until finding the one I couldn't complete. Once found, this was the only verification they would accept. It's like they are scrambling to mitigate risk after the huge hacking scandal. My advice: DO NOT RELY ON THIS CARD WHILE TRAVELING.

They had no trouble getting the $99 start-up fee, then..., 2 weeks later, they hit my account for two more $99 charges which threw my bank account into overdraft status. I get that straightened out, Capital One refunds the 2 $99 charges, then adds the overdraft fees to my credit card account... not my bank account. I did get it back, just not the way it was taken.

    Now for the kicker, time for the first payment... as I said they had no problem taking the first and the additional 2 payments and the bank information is saved so all I have to do is press the pay button and verify. I do that. 5 days later, returned ACH for wrong bank information. HOW? I fought the bank, thinking they had done an oops, even switched banks due to several other things leading up to this. Put the new bank information on Capital One's site and thought it would be ok. 2 more payments returned from the new account. Now I know it is something with Capital One because 9 other Ach's are going through without fail. When I call and point this out, they blame me. They accept no responsibility. Then, they suspend me because I have too many ACH returns.

    Well, they kick out the bank information as soon as an ACH is returned. So, you can't go back and verify you had entered it in correctly, it's already gone. And, if you don't have a bank account listed, they close your account. So, now the only way to fix this is to be on the phone with them while they call my bank and verify my information. Well, first of all, I am working during banking hours and do not have the time to sit on the phone for that length of time with getting through their phone system to someone who actually can do their job there. Plus, those representatives are fine to help take your money, but when it comes to helping solve an issue you are having, they can only tell you the information that you can see on the website. No help at all.

    I don't need someone to repeat to me the exact information I can view for myself on the site. It's a waste of time. Since all of this has happened, I have just told Capital One to permanently close the account, I will NEVER do business with them or any of their affiliates again.

    The website and mobile apps are user friendly and intuitive. Other banks I use seem to lag in this area and activities are posted immediately and alerts of fraud charges happen instantaneously. When you call for customer, you can easily get to a live person without a lot of navigation through the menu system. The card gives me money back on my purchases and the interest rate is inline with other banks.

    The interest rate is much higher than you’ll receive from local bank account which is a plus. The only thing that is bad is that they limit your withdrawals from your account to five a month. If you go over that they will close your account. That’s about the only thing you really have to be careful with when you’re having a online bank account.

    I have had my account hacked and money stolen many and many of times... I recently had $1300 taken from my account. I have not worked in over 4 months and just recently received my first paycheck. I have my account set up to decline purchases if funds aren't available, I had .63 cents in my account and had $1300 worth of charges allowed to come through. The customer service department could not give me a reason on why these charges were even allowed to come through in the first place. The customer service rep told me "things fall through crack". Another SUPERVISOR told me the system failed. I am a single parent and have no one who can help me with financial things. I have been now on day 3 with no money, and have 3 kids... I also have school supplies coming up to buy and also a brother who has been in the hospital in ICU. And have had no way to go be with my family during this time.

    If Capital One would of done what they told me they was going to do, which is not allow my account to be overdrawn, then I would have my money, but since they MESSED UP me and my family have to go without until they decide to fix it... My nana also banks with them and they recently just frozen her account without notice. DO NOT OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH THEM... OH YEAH!

    I have had a Capital One Credit Card & online account for several years and had no problems until June 2019. Capital One Fraud dept called me and after a very elaborate long winded verification process, told me there were suspicious charges on my Chipped credit card and so they cancelled it, and said that they would the next day FedEx me a replacement card. Sure enough it arrived next day around 12 pm and I immediately went online and phoned in to activate the new card. The activation line put me through to the fraud dept before I even activated it, the fraud dept who said they wanted to verify some charges. I explained it wasn't activated and I had just taken it out of of the Fed Ex envelope and thus had not used it at all. I then noticed a charge of about $9 at a Subway in Georgia, I'm at my home in South Florida BTW.

    They then told me someone had tried to use it for other charges at a racetrack in Georgia earlier that morning, then told me to hold on the phone line when they saw all the charges occurred before I even received the card. On my own, whilst on hold, I immediately change my Capital One online Account password which was 12 digits long for another even longer, and changed my other bank accounts, Last Pass passwords as well. All this I did whilst using a VPN connection. They came back and asked if on the previous call had their fraud dept people told me to change my account password, I said no they certainly didn't. But I had just done that anyway.

    So at this point I pretty sure this was an inside job, but they said maybe my password had been compromised, difficult as I use Last Pass and use passwords with at least 12 digits. Anyway they sent me another card via snail mail, this time refusing to Fed Ex it to me, this delay was worrying as I would be traveling for about 5 weeks starting in the next 7 days. Anyway the third card arrived in about 4 days and I activated it. Made a few charges with it no problem. Then about 10 days later I got another Capital One email security alert, another fraudulent online charge for $1200 appeared. This one day before I was flying out to the UK. They again refused to expedite a card to where I was staying in NYC and so I had to travel without the card.

    Needless to say a week later I phoned in from UK and canceled the card and closed the account. So it's pretty clear that this must have been an inside fraud at Capital One, there is no other way this series of frauds on three cards, several attempted frauds even before it was delivered or activated. Pretty annoyed they tried to blame me for the issue, whilst saying well you won't be charged for the fraudulent charges anyway, completely forgetting the inconvenience and worry of why I had been the target of multiple frauds on this one card after ensuring good security measures on my side to avoid it. I have a another Visa CC via my Credit Union, that account has far superior security measures than Capital One, such as informing me of valid logins to my online account, via text and email. Something that if implemented by Capital One would have indicated to me immediately if my account had been compromised, which now I'm sure it hadn't.

    So it's no very clear to me Capital One has very poor security measures available to protect its customers. And they obviously had or have inside the Capital One web site insiders or outsiders getting illegal access to Credit Card info. So for me it was a warning, an eyeopener, it really showed Capital One cannot be entrusted with my CC account data. Good riddance I suppose.

    I have been a C1 credit card holder for about 10 years. I have only positive things to say. When they detected a fraud about twice in the past decade or so, they immediately called and lately also send emails. I get on the horn and they correct it, immediately send out a new card, etc. Spotless. Every time I talked to a representative, they were pretty good and seem to be knowledgeable and helpful.

    The only small gripe I have is about their phone verification. About 5 months ago I opened a 360 checking and savings with them. Spot on. Worked flawless. It took about a week to have the initial funds transferred from my external bank. I have direct deposit with them which worked flawless so far. However, after 4 months of using Zelle to make transfers, all of a sudden they wanted to verify my phone number. I've been with them for nearly a decade (credit cards) so they have everything on file. Since I have a pay-as-you-go mobile plan, I never give out my number, but what the heck. No big deal. Apparently they cannot verify pay-as-you-go or prepaid mobile plans. Since these phone plans do not require neither an SSN nor a driver's license, apparently there is no record that the phone number is tied to your name, hence they are unable to verify it.

    I've pointed out that this is my first mobile number, and I have this number of 8 years. Never had another one, never used another SIM card. In vain. Apparently they can only verify postpaid phone plans. Of course the cheapest phone plan on a postpaid plan is 60 bucks (as opposed to $3). I have no way of justifying shelling out that much money a month just so a bank can verify my ownership of the phone number. As a result, my Zelle transfers were halted and had to go "around" by transferring the money back to my external account (which I kept open), and from that account I am able to make transfers. Also, I cannot add joint account holder to the checking account due to failed phone verification.

    Now, get this. They can manually set up a joint account over the phone, if both parties are present at the same time, but they can only do this for savings account. To add a joint account holder to your checking account, you need at least a $60/month phone plan so they can verify your ownership of the phone number. In other words, if you have a six-figure savings account, they can add joint account holders to it no problem, but if you have a checking account with $200 monthly balance then forget it. Is this messed up or what!? Other than the ridiculous issue with unable to verify prepaid phone numbers, I have no gripe with them. Oh, also, I was able to call in and they helped me fix the Zelle issue. So that should be good to go again - we shall see this next month when I will do my regular transfer.

    I'm extremely unhappy with Capital One's customer service. I opened this account maybe 3 years ago. I linked an account and attempted to perform transfer. It failed with a message saying I should call a toll-free number. The first time I called, I got disconnected while the associate was investigating the problem. I called again and had to start over. So I asked to give a callback number in case of getting cut off again. The associate said no to that. Also said there was not a way for me to call and reach her again. I asked for a reference number I could use to refer to my case, and she said they don't do that either.

    A couple of days later, I logged in and used the chat. Through the chat I was told that the case had been logged. That the transfer failed due to account dormancy. (I had to get in touch three different times to learn this much?) Lastly, that all I could do was wait. My best guess is that the associates were just staying on script. They weren't rude at all but they weren't very knowledgeable. No trouble-ticketing system that spits out reference numbers? No way to leave a callback number? Really?

    This review is 100% accurate and true. I opened an account for me and my teenage daughter. I messed up when entering her social security number and my finger hit a 3 not a 4 so she was locked out of her account while I completed an IRS form to verify her social.... This part was completely MY FAULT, but what ensued after was a horrible ordeal I pray no one else goes through. We were in the middle of a move and while driving a 26’ van, moving 465 miles and 2 states away, Capital One closed both accounts with NO warning only to leave me to find out when my debit card was declined to fill up for gas. I figured this was a security measure as I had just used it leaving VA and was now in NC so I called their fraud department to validate the gas transaction only to find out both accounts were closed due and they would never do business with me again, so they not only closed my bank accounts but also my credit cards.

    MY information was always accurate, so I asked what fraud and was denied an explanation. I had previously had 2 auto loans and 3 credit cards with them, but now they want to sever the relationship with no explanation? WTF!! So I’m told all monies in the bank accounts would be returned in 7-10 business days. I verified my mailing address since I was moving and they had the new address as the place to mail the checks. This ordeal started on June 14, 2019 and ended on July 17, 2019. I made over 25 phone calls trying to get my money, verified my address 47 times because I was usually transferred to their security department. They mailed the original checks to the wrong address even though I verified with each call my new address and they confirmed that’s where the checks were sent.

    I emailed the bank CEO Richard Fairbank 7 times with not one response. I called their McLean number on 4 occasions hoping for help, but they do not have any Leadership team in place for such problems, you must deal with their customer service. I was spoken to by their reps with sarcasm and lack of empathy for what I was dealing with and I’m a disabled single mother of 2 who needed her money to live off of. Finally on 7-15-2019, I got a nasty employee, his ID was ** and he told me maybe I shouldn’t commit fraud and I said wait what? He said all of my accounts were closed for fraud.... Not one person had told me that before and I lost it because obviously with 2 previously financed and paid off vehicles, I was not committing fraud.

    One car paid off on 4-17 and the most recent financed in 4-16 and completely paid off in July 2018. BTW, I only got my money after filing a complaint with the office of the OCC, Treasury of the United States, they’re in charge, should banks behave with such careless disregard for customer’s money. Can’t give zero stars. This is my real experience with being a CO Customer since 2010. I just hope no one else experiences the disrespect I faced from over 7 employees, I started taking ID numbers once the disrespect started. Please think wisely.

    I trusted Capital One to be my main card while traveling. This was a nightmare. I contacted the rep to share that I could not pay my bill due to not having the same sim card while traveling internationally, which their site required me to authenticate with due to it recognizing that I was overseas. They responded with questions, including some which I had no way of knowing from very old public records, and then when I could not remember my address from a home I lived in 10 years ago for 3 months in Grass Valley, locked me out of my card use and account, leaving me in a foreign country with no money, after I had literally put far too much trust in this company for being my solid financial card during my travels.

    They literally confirmed that they require me to fly home (from Costa Rica to the US), go to the DMV, get a replacement drivers license (mine is missing), then WAIT 30 DAYS, then submit it to be reconsidered for access to my account. Or fly home, find my social security card (filed somewhere in my garage I would presume), and submit that with my passport. Literally, those were the 2 options they gave me. In either case, they required me to END my trip and to FLY HOME in order to access my account again.

    I suggest you either stay away from this company if you can afford to if you can get another card. Or, I might suggest having them as a backup but never counting on them to treat you like a human being or to actually consider the context from which you are contacting them, or to actually be reliable as a point of access to funds while you are traveling.

    The customer service felt heartless and uncaring to me, and the fact that the site was in such a state that it could not authenticate me in any of the hundreds of other ways which would have also been just as valid and relevant to my situation was very sad. I felt embarrassed for whoever built that site. The fact that the lead of customer service did not have the authority to do anything about the situation, and simply 'had to lock me out of my account' because the 'computer says to' made me lose every ounce of confidence I ever had in this company. What I like about the card in particular is that it doesn't have the same fees as my normal bank card or PayPal card when it comes to pulling funds out of an ATM overseas, so it's helpful to have, even though I will never again trust this company to be reliable when it comes to managing my travel funds.
