    I had a dispute with a merchant, where an unauthorized family member used my credit card. Capital One admitted to giving me incorrect information and did NOTHING to assist in my dispute for $3000. THey gave me the run-around, delayed, and then said I should have filed a different type of dispute, but because I filed one kind, I could not file another. Legitimately awful.

    We have been with Capital One for 15+ years using checking, savings and 2 credit cards. Recently we wanted to purchase hearing aids for my wife's father at Sam's. The cost was nearly 5k. The charge was flagged for fraud! While in line after the first attempt, we called Capital One and the representative had us try 3 more times with the same card while they were on the phone with us. It failed each time. Capital One then informed us that because we tried 3 or more times that the flag could take 1-2 weeks to get removed. So I tried my other card and it was flagged. I had to call Capital One again and while on the phone, I had them fix the issue.

    After nearly 1 hour I was able to use our second card. The issues are that the original card is the one we use all the time because of 1.5x miles has now been suspended. We have all our recurring bills placed on this card! What a hassle. So we are probably going to move to a different banking and card company. Especially after we call Capital One while driving home and he stated that the conversation would be recorded for training purposes. I said, "Great, so am I." The representative asked if I was recording and if I were he would hang up immediately! How ironic, they can record us but we can't record them. This experience was horrible all around! HELP!!!

    Anyone considering getting a card from Capital One, consider other alternatives. The CEO doesn't respond to emails, and they put 9 day holds on your available credit after a payment is made. Go with Discover or Chase. Those creditors make business decisions that make business sense. Capital One...DOES NOT. Richard Fairbank is the current CEO and he clearly has zero initiative focusing on Consumer Experience. Their board of directors should really just vote to force him out because he doesn't care about Consumers.

    I had been with Capital One for years before the 360 checking... I requested a new debit card be sent to me because my son was taking advantage and being careless with his Playstation account so I called and they wanted me to dispute it. I didn't want to do that. Just give me a new card. Well I requested a new card a few times then finally went to visit my local bank to see if there was a mistake. They said since I opened an account before they started making changes and did not have a 360 checking account that they could not issue me a new card and that I had to call again the same number and speak to someone there.

    I think it was very inconsiderate that I've been a customer for years they change things and I have to go out of my way. I asked how do I get 360 checking the lady said I had to call and close my account before she could open a another account. So about now I didnt want my new card anymore. I withdrew all my money then called and closed my account. I will never be back to Capital One.

    There was an article in Forbes that Capital One understands that there are complications with the pandemic and sabotaged postal service so they're giving customers some leeway, but that's not true. After paying my bills on time for 20 yrs, I've been penalized for not paying a bill I never received. The postal service claims they delivered it, but it wasn't delivered to me. I've paid on time for 20 yrs and I'm penalized for something I can't control. Capital One lied. They're not helping anyone. They're using a national disaster and failing postal service to get more money from their customers, even ones like me who have paid bills on time for 20 yrs. Aren't they rich enough already without screwing their customers in a time of crises.

    My available credit was cut from $9000 to $2000 overnight with NO WARNING! The reason? I wasn't using enough of my credit (My card offers no incentives at all and has a high APR so it is not my go to). So good financial behavior is only punished with this company. I have a $400 balance on this card which means that my credit usage went from .04% to 20%! This will impact my credit score significantly...because of the usage and even when I pay that off, I will still have a drastic decrease in my overall available credit. And they do this to people, with absolutely no warning, in times of a PANDEMIC when many people are living paycheck to paycheck if they have an income at all. Capital One, you are a terrible company that has no regard or compassion for your customers. Shame on you! You will never make another penny off of me. You lost a long standing customer today and with this type of behavior, you're only bound to lose many many more.

    We have 2 company credit cards with Capital One and pay in full every month. I scheduled my payment a week in advance and clicked on the calendar provided by Capital One for the due date. Apparently the due date was 2 days off and now we are being charged a big interest amount. I asked for the interest to be waived as this is a system error with Capital One and they will not waive interest. They can clearly see I pay the balance in full every month. I will be taking our credit card business to Citi bank who also has cash back rewards.

    Capital One is a horrible company. We have perfect credit and a perfect payment history with Capital One (and well, everyone else as well). They will lower your credit limit for low usage and then when you call to see what can be done to raise it again, they will tell you absolutely nothing. That is, there is no path of usage that will get the limit reinstated as far as the supervisors can tell. There is nothing they will tell you that you can actually do to get your card limit raised because it is a secret. Furthermore, the customer service supervisors are rude, unhelpful, and clearly do not care whether you are retained as a customer or not. You should use absolutely ANY other credit card company on the planet besides Capital One. They are about as bad as a company possibly can be.

    I have had an account with Capitol One for 13 years. Today, I received an email stating they were lowering my available credit limit by almost half. I telephoned customer service and was told it was lowered due to recent lack of activity. I informed her that because of the pandemic literally no one was traveling or making large purchases right now. I informed her that I had a vacation planned next month and I needed the previous limit restored. I was told that nothing could be done. That I would have to apply for an increase in 6 months. Which would certainly cause my credit score to be lowered. Typical corporation/big bank. You spend loads of money with them and never late on a payment and you're treated like this. I'll be switching credit card companies and closing both accounts with capitol one. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

    I applied for and received a Cap One Quick Silver card for foreign travel for years ago, since it doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees. I have used it only occasionally in the last couple years, but had planned to keep it for upcoming foreign travel or as needed. I’ve never had a late or missed payment, and my credit score varies between excellent and very good. Whereas other banks have increased my limit over time and offered incentives for me to keep using their card, Cap One has decided to reduce my limit out of the blue for no reason besides my reduced use the past year or two. The The decrease in limit will affect my credit score, and with a new 5k limit total, it’s a waste to even hold on to this card at all. If any of my other cards waive foreign transaction fees, I plan to close this account out.

    I used to regard Cap One highly but am so disappointed in them. Then again, so many things have gone downhill with them the last few years that maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. I have been banking with the same bank since I was a teenager 25+ years ago. I wish they had never bought that bank out. I think I’m just done with Cap One.

    I had applied for a Capital One secured credit card on or about 7/1/2020 that in which required a opening security deposit of a minimum of $99 in which I paid $100. So Capital One gave me a $200 credit limit for my $100 opening deposit. I had made two separate purchases for fuel totaling approximately $50 that I had paid the following week to bring my owed balance to $0.

    Now today 8/8/2020 logged onto my Capital One mobile app to look over things and it showed my credit limit was at $0 and the account is currently restricted. So I called Capital One and spoke with a representative and they had told me the account was closed as of 8/6/2020 and were not able to provide me with the reason for closing my account and not refunding my initial deposit of $100. Is it not fraud to lure an individual or company into making a deposit for a line of credit and then without notice or cause closing that account without refunding the intital deposit? If you are considering a credit card... DO NOT CHOOSE Capital One. THEY WILL ROB YOU!

    I will start by saying I do have a Capital One card currently. The issue I just experienced was a bit annoying. I was sent a prequalified offer for a second card. I’m new to credit cards and didn’t understand why they sent me another offer because I already have a credit card through them. I did some reading and apparently you can have two cards through Capital One. I thought it would be good to accept it because I’ve been carefully working on building up my credit score and a second card would lower my credit utilization. Anyway, I decided to go to the site to accept the offer and was declined. My credit health is a lot higher than it was when I got my first card from them. I don’t see how it was denied, but it was and now I have a hard inquiry on my credit report for nothing, which is upsetting to me. Be wary of accepting a second card offer from them.

When I called to complain and seek a restoration, they said they could do nothing, refused to connect me to a manager and could not even process a final payment to bring the account to a zero balance. Don't even try to connect with their corporate office because they don't want to deal with customers at a non-existent executive complaint function.

    Today was the second time in the last few months my credit card was turned off by Capital One for no good reason. I found out that this time it was turned off was because whenever you update your personal info, the card is flagged and it is shut off until you take a photo of your ID and email it to them for a 7 to 10 day review. This makes the card useless to me since I can't rely on the card to be active when I need it the most.

    I appreciate Capital One for acknowledging me as a person and not just one of million of card holders. You know how it is when family can base your character on your past. I had a horrible year 2019, car accident, therapy, etc. so I had a difficult time keeping up with my payments, two out of 3 cards were restricted, including my precious biz card that I worked so hard for. I've had these accounts for approx 5 years or more in good standing prior to 2019. Different than a couple of my other card companies with the same history, same faithfulness, they didn't care, immediately sent my accounts to collections. My good score plummeted over 140 points to 540. Capital One did not leave me high and dry. I called in and the CSR told me my accounts were restricted. I had no idea what that meant, but after talking more with her, it was over, a done deal with the credit.

    I asked for a Credit Manager and when I explained what occurred to me (she has no idea that the car accident and therapy was very small part of what I was dealing with as a single mom), she advocated on my behalf. I have no idea what department she was speaking with, but each step of the way while on the call she was considerate, returning to inform me that she was still on the call and continuing to attempt to get my cards reinstated. Finally after 30 minutes, it was all done, she did it!!!

    My accounts were reinstated and I was in a position to pay down the balances that were at least $500 - $1k over their limits. I figured, heck if a company can do this for me, I have no problem giving what is owed to them, fees and all. I will forever be dedicated to Capital One and if I have nothing else in my wallet, it's OK. So now I am rebuilding my business, helping my daughter to return to college and pay my basic rent.

    In order to avoid a late fee on my card, I called Capital One customer support line to make a payment using their "check by phone" option with a CSS.

The CSS took it upon himself to make another payment using their "check by phone" option and drained my checking account that should have had over $500 in it! I immediately went to my bank and they froze my account to investigate the check fraud this person committed.

    I think a person who has a bad attitude is reviewing these auto loans. I have a Capital One Credit card in good standing. I have been a customer for two years and have never been late. My credit score is 620 and I wanted to apply to get a used car. Nothing expensive or anything. I have lived at the same address for 8 years. I have several credit cards that are in good standing and I was turned down. The reason they gave was too many inquiries and not enough credit history.?? Three years is not enough? And I have a vendor that is coming off due to I was a victim of fraud. I believe if you already have a credit card in good standing they should at least give their customers a call and go over why you're being turned down and let the customer give an explanation if possible.

    They will not work with me or the credit bureaus to correct this. Their lending is predatory and completely immoral. Many account of former employees show that they spend hundreds of hours figuring out how to be more efficiently predatory, though their jargon won't reflect it.

I ask that someone please fix this issue once and for all, I have been going through this for months and especially under all these times we are all going through it is unacceptable for someone to contact you months ago and never hear from them again and the same issue remains during a pandemic. I have a weakened immune system because of medications that I take and I have been at risk barely being able to leave my room as a precautionary method I cannot get sick.

    Our business shut down by state due to coronavirus mandate. Capital One continued to charge late fees and only took requests for payment deferrals if you called in during a specific timeframe. Nationally and statewide millions of people had lost their jobs, forced to close their businesses, and many people without paycheck or never receiving unemployment. Not to mention tens of thousands of people hospitalized, ill or dead. The behavior and policy of Capital One during this crisis is reprehensible and cruel. Loan sharking at this best.

    I purchased products at a health fair from a company that ended up being a scam company that fails to warranty anything they sell and misrepresents the product manufacturer. Upon finding out the type of company I had purchased from, I returned the products I bought and disputed the charges with Capital One. At first they reversed the charges in my favor, but the company manufactured a phony receipt that stated "all sales final" on the bottom. Capital One then credited the $5,400 price back to the scammers, even though their representatives admitted that I had been scammed.

    The company ghosted me and would not return the products, so they now had my money AND the products. I asked Capital One to send the merchant a letter asking them to return the products to me, since they would not re-open the case once their decision was made. They refused to help out by sending anything to the scammers (other than my $5,400). Doesn't anyone has common sense and decency in this organization?

    Capital One has without notice changed their interest rules. They are now charging interest on brand new purchases, where in the past they charged Interest on past 30 days charges. So in order to avoid interest, you have to pay off the whole card by the due date. Better cards out there.

    I've had an okay experience with my card up until this point. My husband and I having been working hard to pay off our debt and of course like so many others it has been super hard during COVID-19. But yeah, we did it and paid over $4K in June to pay off our card. Well just like all cards, the interest accrued during the time from the previous bill until we paid the card off have to be paid which is totally valid and I'm not disputed those charges. I called to see if they could waive the interest charges of $67 which is a drop in the bucket compared to the $4K I just paid in June and since I've been such a great card holder.

    I have had so many other credit card companies to help before when we do this, and Capital One just isn't one of those. I even spoke to a supervisor and he couldn't help help me or direct me to someone that could. The supervisor was very nice and I know only doing his job, but to waive only $67 when I paid over $4K last month doesn't seem like a big deal.

    Capital One just send a standard e-mail that they don't have enough information for a scamming provider. As per my conversation with the Capital One representative today, I’m providing a brief summary of the process I have experience as it relates to my request for a REFUND from Viagogo. I purchased tickets from Viagogo for the Penn Relays on January 24, 2020. Order Confirmation # Cost: ** $131.00, ** $108.00, ** $208.00

    On March 26, 2020, I contacted Collin ** (Manager, Tickets Sales & Services concerning the Penn Relays Event April 23 – 25 2020 at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, PA). He informed me the event was CANCELLED as of March 16, 2020 and I had purchased my tickets through Viagogo. They were a not affiliated with Penn Relays and were a third party. POLICY: "If an event is cancelled – you do not have to do anything. We will contact you. You will be entitled to a full refund or a 125% voucher." (See Attached) On March 30th I called Viagogo a spoke with a representative. He informed me that a refund would NOT be a problem and I would hear from them soon. I did not receive a response. So I sent an e-mail on April 9th concerning the refund for the tickets.

    Summary: I contacted Viagogo via phone and e-mail on many occasions. The following represents correspondence from Viagogo and myself. Below represents a brief summary of phone calls from me to Viagogo followed by e-mails. (See attached)

    1. Initial call: Requested a refund from Representative, He indicated that Viagogo had not received notification from the Penn Relays that the event was not cancelled.
    2. I sent Viagogo customer with a link form the Penn Relays that the event was cancelled. He confirmed it was cancelled and said he would change the status on the tickets to CANCELLED.
    3. Contacted Viagogo again and the representative informed me they had no notification that the event was cancelled.
    4. Contacted Viagogo again and requested a supervisor to confirm they have received the information provided. I was informed it was received and would be sent to another department for review. I would be contacted soon.
    5. Contacted Viagogo again and requested to escalated this refund request. She reviewed the account and informed me she had received the e-mails and would process the request.

    6. Requested supervisor for follow up, Supervisor indicated they have the information, but the event has been postponed to 2021. Not True!!

    Not once did receive a phone or response that was NOT a generated e-mail. At this point I contacted Capital One and requested the charges be reversed based on Viagogo refund policy. I was informed by the Capital One representative to save ALL correspondence for 90 days and I would be contacted about my request. I did not receive any correspondence from Capital One concerning this matter. I just checked my account and discovered that my account had been REBILLED 3 tickets. To date. Capital One keep telling me I have not provided enough information, but they don't tell what information is missing. I sent the the better business reviews and the cancellation policy of Viagogo. They ARE NOT ON THEIR CUSTOMER SIDE.

    She waited patiently with me while I got my husband on the line, as he was working during our call and not able to come to the phone immediately, and she was fast and efficient so as to not take up too much of his time. I have NEVER in my life had such a memorable customer experience... to top it all off she even sent us a surprise gift to show just how much she CARED and paid attention (as the gift was relevant to our interaction - a picture frame for my husband and I who were recently married).

After 90 days of filing my dispute, fulfilling multiple requests for random support about the transaction and HOURS on the phone they closed my case because the "timeframe expired".

    I called again, "manager" refused to transfer me to his supervisor, refused to have anybody call me, said I had no proof that I didn't receive all the items and asked if I could prove the quality was not good.

My spouse has fallen victim to Capital One's abusive credit scams. First, my spouse had a balance of $16 and had a small transaction posted each month on this card for five consecutive months. Do you know that she forgot to check because of the impact COVID-19? Genuinely she forgot. She was informed of a credit decision made by Capital One, and they reported her account as a delinquent for the previously mentioned balance. She had a credit limit of $500, and she paid it off. No courtesy emails and just automated messaged.

    Second, the delinquency lead to her credit card, Discover, to be permanently closed and impact her credit score to the point that she cannot get any new loans.

    Third, did I mention that she has been a customer for four years? Yes and never missed a payment until recently. Today, I am putting this testimony because when we contacted a supervisor they said they could do nothing, and we could dispute the decision, which could be reviewed months later. Everything that has been said here is completely accurate, and we are responsible consumers.

    I had been with Capital One 360 for years, ever since it was ING Banking, and I used it for so long because it was a convenient option for saving money. I always thought that the service was convenient, until last year when I had to jump through several hoops in order to open up a credit card with them. Capital One 360 made me verify my identity online because I couldn’t verify it via phone line on account of the fact that I live in China and have been living here for almost seven years. I told the employee this and there seemed to be no problem with where I lived, but the verification process took days to process and ended up being declined because I needed more documentation that I could’ve originally provided had they told me.

    Then I transferred money from my Chinese bank account to my Capital One 360 account and then transferred that money to a friend’s account, which I connected to my account. After I transferred the money, my account was frozen and I had to call the company in order to unfreeze it. This was an arduous task in which I I got disconnected twice and had to call the company again, only to redo the verification process that I had completed earlier. After nearly two hours, they finally told me what the problem was.

    At first they asked me about the money transfer to my friend's account. They said that I couldn’t connect an account if the other account wasn’t under my name, to which I told them that I couldn’t wire transfer the money on account of the convoluted interface on Capital One's webpage, so I linked the two accounts instead, seeing that I trust my friend. This didn’t seem to be the main problem though, as I was told afterwards that Capital One 360 is purely a domestic bank.

    When I told them I never had a problem transferring money from my overseas bank account, they said that it was against company policy. I even told them that I called the company before and notified them that I live in China, but the only response I received from Travis in Security, the third gentleman I spoke to, was “how long do you plan on living in China?” What he meant was, if I don’t live in America, then Capital One 360 is off limits for me. Without providing me with any other option, I had to close out both of my Capital One 360 accounts.

    Capital One 360 puts on this facade of convenient banking, but the customer service representatives are incompetent, rigid, and expect the customers to arbitrarily jump through hoops because “it’s company policy”. If it wasn’t a problem that I lived overseas for many years while using Capital One 360, then why is it a problem now?

I haven't had trouble accessing my accounts online until fairly recently when they eliminated the option to be verified via registered email address. Instead it now keeps redirecting me to verify myself by receiving a code to a registered phone number. How am I supposed to review my credit card statements and my credit score when I'm being denied access simply for not having a registered U.S phone?

    I understand that some measures are taken to improve online security. However, whoever is in charge of security needs to take on responsibility from their ends, not relocating their responsibility to the customers' ends. Simply limiting ways to be verified in order to increase level of security instead of developing/writing a better and improved security software system is lazy work at best and inconsiderate of convenience of the customers! Please consider customers like me who have been loyal for several years who do not have registered U.S phones, and reconfigure your security measures to give back to people like me our online access to our accounts.

How could this have happened!?!? Needless to say I will not be using Capital One ever again. I have since destroyed my card.

    I contacted Capital One today after paying off a large credit card debt 2 weeks ago. I had gotten a bill for $67.00 in interest. I had lost a job in March due to the virus after 19 years of employment. I borrowed money from my family to pay off the card so I wouldn’t have more bills to worry about without my income. I got ahold of someone finally after about 30 minutes of holding.

    Since I had been a great customer for 15 years I assumed they would help me out and waive the $67.00 interest due to my financial situation, loyalty, and on time payments. Guess what, I got bounced to 2 different people and I was so shocked that they were not willing to do anything. What a horrible company. I am closing this account and I will never deal with them again. I have a credit score in the low 800’s. This was the only company that was not willing to work with me, all of the others were so gracious and wanted to help. Capital One does not care about their customers.

    I hope in the Capital One credit card two years ago. This is my second credit card that are open for capital one. I asked the representative if I could change transfer my current balance from the open capital one credit card to the new capital one credit card with a lower APR and a higher balance and I was told I could not so needless to say I have not use that credit card since I opened it and today I received the email that my account was just closed due to inactivity. I think this is a sorry excuse for a corporation To give no due process to the consumer that they are doing adverse action on an open account of theirs to me. This is irreconcilable. They also told me, "Well this account cannot be re-opened." I used to have very high regard for capital one but no longer. I’m in process of moving any balance to AE.

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

    I had a credit card with Capital One for about 10 years. They became uncompetitive over the years by never modifying the rewards for my card so I stopped using about 2 years ago. I still kept it in my wallet for emergencies though. No biggie right? Nope, I received an email saying my account is formally closed. When I called and asked if they could reopen they said, No." I use Capital One for my businesses too and told them I will go out and find new credit for my business and close them down too and they said, "OK."

    I find it very unpalatable that they send me a constant barrage of emails, postal mail and phone calls about their offers and opportunities for us to work more closely together yet they had me as a client on the personal and business side yet they think it is appropriate to not send a single, "Hey, you need to use this card at least once," etc - nothing - before rudely closing my account. I'll never use Capital One again and advise others to stay away if they expect them to be treated as most people and businesses treat their customers nowadays i.e. with common courtesy.

    I pay my credit card every month. I have been paying higher amount the last two months. Typically my payment posts as available by the end of the day. Twice now this month, my payment take 14 days to post. I've never had this issue. I've never heard of "this is our policy on occasion". I'm not sure you can have an occasional policy. It seems more like you're holding my payment so you can collect interest because I've been paying my card off. I've tried calling, I'm told sometimes this happens. Well it's happened my last 3 consecutive payments so it's all the time and it just started when covid hit.

    I'm trying to rebuild my credit. I buy my groceries and then I pay it off. Now that are holding my payment so they can charge me interest? It seems illegal. If I pay a higher payment, I'm penalized? My entire card is on hold for the second time for 2 weeks. I was told this is only until my bank funds clear-well they cleared days ago. Is this legal? It seems like a scam to charge interest rates-this is the great Capital One? I'm disgusted.

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

    I have spent at least 14 hours over the last 3 days on-hold and being transferred from one inept call center employee to the next with no resolution as to my miles being reimbursed for a flight that was booked through Capital One on their app. The amount totaling almost $800 in value doesn't seem to be their concern. I've had an employee, (Cathy) hang up on me for asking her why she was lying and then requesting to speak with her supervisor. I've been put back on indefinite hold after having just gotten off of hold and being told I was sent to the wrong department (this has happened several times but most notably and blatantly by Nick). I've been told by Deanne that she not only did not have an employee ID number but also did not have a supervisor - so apparently she's the top of the food chain. I'm sure Warren Buffett would love to know that, since in a roundabout way he actually owns Capital One.

    I've been made empty promises by Colleen and Trinay; Trinay actually did have an employee ID Number - I know, weird, right? Trinay's employee ID number is **. Now, surprisingly, I'm not mad at either Colleen or Trinay despite their apparent lack of understanding as to just how horrible of an organization they work for as they actually did TRY to get something done, unfortunately, that meant transferring me yet again to the Travel Center which is filled with what can only be described as morons. To say that their core values are "...excellence, integrity and respect" is a joke. This organization and ALL of its employees are absolute scum of the earth garbage. I want my refund and I'll happily cancel every capital one card I have. I will NEVER charge another dime on any of those cards. The airline was easier to get a hold of then the credit card company.

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

I then asked to speak with her supervisor and was on hold for two or three minutes. The person that was connected to spoke very clearly, but without a helpful attitude. I explained to her that I was not able to understand the woman in Costa Rica and asked her about the call center.

    She said they have call centers all over the world and told me that I would be on hold for two to three minutes in order to be connected to the dispute center - after about five minutes I received a recording that said my wait time was over twenty minutes. I disconnected and called another number for disputed charges. This time I was connected to some woman in the Philippines who was also very difficult to understand.

    On 4/28/2020 my wife answered an ad offering $500 bonus and a 1.5% interest for opening an account with new money. We went through the fairly easy process to set up the account, the suggested promo code was pre-populated, my wife's information was gleaned from an account she opened in 2016, set up a transfer of the funds from a different bank. When we got the 'success' screen it also said that the promo code was not accepted. We called the 800 number and got assurances that it is a computer glitch and we need to call in August to start a review to manually apply the promo (the $500 bonus). My wife then called a local branch and they informed us that she is not eligible because she already had a promotional account opened in 2016??? We wrote an email to: Shelley **, Director of Complaints, Richard D. Fairbank, Chief Executive. Of course no answer has been provided yet.

    Conclusion: a) The Bank advertises promotions, the application process 'assists' in filling out the forms but nowhere does it warn you that you are not eligible before the transfer of funds set up is complete - why? b) Why are existing clients 'punished' for opening another account 4 years prior to this promotion? It stinks, doesn't it?

    I entered into a settlement arrangement to pay Citi on my account ending in **. The LAW provides for 90 days once entering the agreement, regardless of proposed installment dates. 2/26 - I paid $250 3/26 - I paid $250 4/26 - Final Payment tentatively to be paid for $751. After being affected by Covid 19, I called to get this final payment date RESCHEDULED, and they flat out refused. I know for a 1000% FACT that they can do it, and that provisions of settlements allow in regulations for a 90-day payment period. I also know this to be true, because AmEx, Citi Financial, and Discover all allowed me to do it. I asked to pay it on May 15 (still less than 90 days from start of plan to finish) and they flat out refused. I requested time to pay due to Covid 19 income loss and they flat out refused. I requested another settlement for the remaining $751 and they flat out refused.

    I requested any settlement and they flat out refused. I requested assistance under Covid 19 and they flat out refused. I requested the standard Covid 19 that they are giving people, and they flat out refused. They haven't implemented one thing to help their customers. The only option they have is this "build your own plan" available on the internet on their site which only approves it if you do a significant payment, on a monthly basis, which doesn't reflect someone's capacity to pay on an ongoing basis. There is literally no way to get an approval, unless you type in a very high significant amount.

    This is the same feature that has always been on their site. It is NOT directed towards helping people with Covid. 3 of my other creditors immediately enrolled me in a 60-day plan with no payments. Capital One had nothing. They are truly a selfish greedy company. I have lost my entire income due to Covid 19 since March 13, and have been trying proactively to get help from them, and they flat out refused.

    I live in Arizona, and the Department of Employment Security (DES) and the Unemployment Office does not have the system set up yet to pay sole proprietors. They expect implementation on May 12, and payments to start being made to the unemployment self-employed group shortly following that. I find Capital One's inability or refusal to help me an egregious lack of support and expectations by consumers and the federal government, and I'd like to have a full investigation done into Capital One, not just through them replying to my statements, but I'd like to see the CFPB launch an investigation into their refusal to help me. I will also be reaching out to the top executives in my LinkedIn network to shed further light on this, as well as the non-cooperation of senior account managers to work with people.

    This is deplorable, and I want to throw up just thinking of how they are not helping people. I want to cry. I consider how much stress this is causing me. It's awful to have no help from them. NONE! I sure hope they get what they deserve, by going down when nobody pays them due to Covid, and people are forced to file bankruptcy. It will happen, and Capital One's Managers who refused to work with me, will suddenly find themself where I was. I will make sure everyone website, platform, and review center knows of this. As well as the BBB. Please do NOT get one of their cards. If you are having trouble getting financial support from them due to Covid-19, please contact the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB), and the Executive Offices, as well as your Attorney General.

    I had a Capital One Venture card and canceled in less than a year. NEVER would I recommend this card. Trying to get my refund on a flight canceled by the airline was absolute ++++. HOURS on the phone with Capital One, hours on the phone with Capital One Rewards, hours on the phone with Capital One Travel, hours on the phone with the travel booking company they use. My longest hours of waiting was about 7, there were the hangups after hours, there were the transfers and disconnect, there were the transfers then more hours of waiting. Then the BROKEN ASSURANCES. Add to the insults, they "lost" the airline refund only to find it after more calls and more transfers. The airline refund went to the booking company then to Capital One Travel then to Capital One Venture card.

    Finally a letter from Capital One Venture that I had a refund, I was advised I could not use the card (because in total disgust I had canceled the card earlier), and it would take TWO BILLING cycles before I would be mailed my refund. This after ASSURANCES my refund was being mailed directly, immediately to me. In checking my account I see that the airline credit was posted to my account and held before I was even notified by mail that the refund was being held. A phone call and another long hold and I quoted the Fair Trade Act to Capital One and requested immediate refund. I am advised it will take 3 weeks. This despite Fair Trade Act limiting the time a card company can hold my $.

    And when asked about the separate rewards cash (1/2 the rewards point value) refund, Capital One hung up and did not call back. Other issues, the so-called insurance on travel? Forget that. Ease of booking and cost of booking? My one-way airline ticket cost was appallingly high. I found I could have bought round trip ticket for more than $100 less.

    Awful customer service with this company. This is my everyday credit card but I see now why people review their service so horribly. I spoke to a supervisor after I was told I couldn’t take my interest charge off and he proceeded to belittle my situation. He told me I didn’t read the guidelines. He then said there’s no one else to speak to other than the administrator and that he was hired so that we could talk to him because the administrator has more important things to do. He then told me to stop cutting him off, kept talking over me, didn’t listen to how unfair my situation was. This is all during the crisis of COVID 19 as well. He then tells me he cannot take this “correctly charged” interest off.

    Then he goes, "BECAUSE THE CONVERSATION IS NOT GOING YOUR WAY YOU’RE UPSET." My situation is that I was incorrectly charged interest for the month of March 2020. I paid the full statement for February, but they accidentally had doubled my payment resulting in my account being overpaid and so I then had a credited amount. I wanted this reversed so they helped me out and reversed one of the payments. I was then given the statement for the month of March and it came back -20$ balance. “No minimum Payment due” . When they reversed my payment my balance went back up but I wasn’t aware that this balance still applies to March because my statement didn’t say so.

    I was just asking for an interest charge waiver so I could then pay the balance. He refused to do so and kept telling me Covid-19 has nothing to do with this. I have been a loyal customer for a long time. All I asked was the courtesy of taking away a very confusing charge so I could pay what I owe. AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE - I couldn’t even speak to someone else to help with the issue because he refused. I was also on hold for an hour which is understandable during these uncertain CoVid 19 times.
