They have asked me to send a picture of my drivers lic. over the phone for everyone to to see. Never send your lic. over a phone. All IO wouldn't is to know how much I owed and when my payment was due. Then I found out my account was restricted can be used. Just got my new card a couple of days ago. Do not go there.

I had a similar situation as another reviewer. I deposited my paycheck through the app. Capital One determined it was high risk and froze my entire account (all funds, not just the deposited check). I have spent more time than I have on the phone and with the online chat trying to resolve this issue. They have offered NO assistance and say they need to verify my employer, but have made no effort to do so. As a previous reviewer said, they are holding my account hostage. This issue has yet to be resolved and I cannot access any of my funds at this bank. I do not recommend banking with Capital One. This has been a nightmare.

Someone, and I think it was my ex-husband, reported the card as fraudulent. He had all my information and pretended it was me, so my account was frozen. Instead of actually utilizing the contact information that Capital One had on file and saying, "Hey, we have a report of fraud. Is that correct?" They simply chose to freeze me out of my own account. The way they handled this situation is despicable. They don't care about their own customers. I have every single authentication and verification that they need and I am the account holder. Yet because someone claiming to be me reports it as fraud, I'm the one left hanging out to dry. Fine, Capital One. Claim the whole damn account as fraud and I won't be liable for a penny. Good luck to you.

Capital One froze my entire bank account due to a check I deposited that they said had an increased risk of fraud. That is not my complaint, I understand that part. However, I contacted them and spent an entire day trying to get it cleared up. I gave them the phone number of the person that wrote me the check and they called and spoke with them. I sent in a picture of my driver's license, everything they asked for. I was told that is was cleared up and I could use the account again. Well, when I tried to buy groceries today, the account is still frozen. Not only the amount of that check, but the entire thing including my other deposits. They said there is nothing they can do. They are holding every dime we have hostage for some strange reason. They can not even explain why. I have wasted a substantial amount of time dealing with this. They have not made any attempt to help me with this problem. This is by far the worst banking experience I have ever had.

If you're looking for a credit company that takes care of its customers then look elsewhere! I disputed a charge with Capital One for $1,935.00. They gladly credited my account for the full amount and I thought, "WOW, that was easy!!!" A month later and boom the bombshell! Capital One REBILLED me for the full amount of $1,935.00. When I called to ask what was going on they claimed that they will ALWAYS credit their customers, regardless of the elapsed time between purchases. But what they don't tell you is that if your claim is passed 120 days then you automatically lose the claim because your claim doesn't meet the TIME parameter. THEN WHY ACCEPT THE ** CLAIM!?!?

For months I have been getting pre-approval letters from Capital One Quicksilver. I decided to apply with a 780 credit score and over 100k in liquid assets and was denied. Scam. Why pre-approve me to deny me and put a hard inquiry on my credit report. I would not recommend. Something is seriously wrong with them. Don't fall for their marketing ploys.

I have had a Quicksilver account for years and used it off and on as needed. I decided to restart all my charging through them. I was able to get online and update some information yesterday. I went to the grocery store today and used my card. It was rejected so I used another card. When I arrived home I tried to contact them. Could not find anywhere for email contact. Just telephone numbers. My spouse recently passed away and I stopped telephone service to get rid of robo calls and people asking about my wife in my grieving period, leaving me with PC for contact. If I cannot notify them of card refusal, guess I don't need this card.

I have this card for business and charge $3-4K per month and pay my balance in full every month. In April I accidentally paid $3,424 instead of $3,442. I underpaid the bill by $18. So they assessed me $45 in interest for underpaying by $18. I accepted this because it was my error. So in May I paid my $4,353.60 bill in full and have another $47.84 interest because it needs to be paid off 2 months in a row to avoid interest. So for accidentally underpaying my bill by $18 I have $90 in interest charges. I think that adds up to about 550% interest. I called customer service and asked them to at least waive the $47.84 2nd month interest and they refused. So now I will be using my Amex and Citicard for my $4K a month in business charges instead of Capital One.

Three or four month ago I applied for one of their credit cards but never agreed to the terms and I'm not their customer and never been. Since that day, my wife (I didn't give them her name though) and I are getting one or two fancy marketing mails EVERY DAY, every each of them going to the trash - a funny ritual for our baby. So, roughly $100-$200 have been already lost on a family which has obviously decided to stay away from the company, and they did it a long long time ago. To me, that's an extremely bad marketing and management, and guess who's paying for it? Their existing and potential customers are.

I have a Cap One M/C, I recently used it to buy tix to see Madonna. when I found out my request for Madonna tickets had been approved, I received an alert from Cap One that my cc was charged for $X, when I checked my account the $X increased by $71.06. I called them to clarify why I was being charged more... After being on hold for quite a while, Maria came back to tell me my amount in the alert charge doesn't mean that's what they are charging? It took 2 days for them to post the charge and the exchange rate changed so now the charge is more. I argued that just because it takes them 2 days why should I pay for that?
It's in their policy, and she advised it's written in their website, how great for them that they have policy to take advantage of people just because they wrote it into their website. Read before you sign... Especially when they make amendments after you establish a relationship. Plus, last month I paid off my balance but they still charged me full interest, the front line staff rep put me on hold for a while then came back to tell me that it is written in their policy that they charge full interest unless the balance is paid off twice in a row.

Capital One charged my bank account twice for my April monthly auto-payment. On the day of the charge I called immediately because my balance was $1,153.69. So I had essentially had a $2,307.38 charge to my checking account. When I called on Monday (day of charge), I was assured this would put back on by Friday, which seemed reasonable to me. Saturday I noticed there was no refund to my checking account so I called again, and the woman on the phone told me she was going to "reprocess this". Finally, I called again today (Tuesday) after getting my student loans notification that my auto-payment was going to be processed soon - which means if my student loans company draws the monthly $600, there will be an overdraw and overdraw charge on my checking account.
At this point, I thought it would maybe be appropriate to express my frustration to Capital One. Like hey, I was told this would be settled at this point, there's going to be an overdraw charge, it's been a week... I'm a little disappointed. I did not necessarily expect any free money or giveaway, but maybe a little sympathy. The gentleman on the phone showed no concern, he thanked me for my call and wished me a good day, it seemed like he was really trying to get rid of me... I don't have this issue with my Discover Card. And I am a little disappointed. And so far I have not had issues with Capital One, so this was a little unpleasant for me.

The Capital One staff have been great to reverse unexpected late fees and have been very understanding. I am a converted Costco supporter who in life decided to join the rest of the world to earn dollars for purchases. I cancelled my MBNA of 14 years to join CapitalOne to carry one card for Costco. My limit was very secure with MBNA but I was only awarded 3000 for Capital One. Capital One did not solicit my business. I volunteered and was offered no perks.
They could not figure out how to fit a Dutch origin last name on the credit card. If you exceed the limit, they disable autopay. This was new for me trying to fit all purchases on a credit card with the 3000 limit just for the cash back, Safety positioning I imagine. Then autopay off again the next month as a result of Capital One without reason. Called and the IVR robot confirms my payment. Then says my amount is past due for the month ahead? Really, is this a credit card company?
Now, my 2 Amazon purchases are being denied and there is no obvious chat option I can see on the company site. Chat, that is frustrating experience altogether. It usually crashes, freezes 4 times and I do not leave the window on my iPad but when I type I cannot see the chat window. Could be the 10.3 cap on my iOS UPDATE. IDK. It's possible that with these days, it is now a "thing" to manage multiple chats and maybe the idle time waiting for an answer loses the chat? Again IDK.
Be prepared to provide your account details in full and do so all at once as soon as you get a live representative. Otherwise, depending on the agent you will have to piece together each detail one at a time. So, even though you have logged in prior to chatting, meaning THAT should link up in the system as verification, they ask to verify name, address, postal code, date of birth and if you are the primary account holder and IF you are logged in. A simple question can take a hour.

Capital One are scammers. They open account without my permission. They have use my social security, and post late payment on my credit report. I’ve never open account with them. Once I find out on Credit Karma the day of opened two accounts on my name, I called them and they’re saying “oh we are so sorry. We will close those accounts if it wasn’t you.” Eventually they close one account and the other account they’re saying they don’t see in the system. They’ve got me in trouble. I couldn’t take apartments on my name. “The supervisor is busy.” There is no one to talk with. If they’re not going to clean it on my credit report I will sue this bank. Quick advice for you guys, record them. The service they give is ridiculous.

My payments fell behind due to personal issues, so I set up a payment arrangement to get back on track. My card was fine and they said everything would be ok as long as I paid as agreed. I did just that and got caught up and now they have restricted the card. Called to ask why and they said because I fell behind in payments and explained to them that I followed the payment arrangement and have been making on time payments since then and below my credit limit by a lot! They said my restriction will not be removed and may just stay on there until paid off while at the same time they still are able to charge me interest each month?? Why aren't they restricted from charging me interest if I cannot use my card? They said even if it restricted they can still charge the interest which is ridiculous since my card should have never been in a restricted status in the first place.
They got me just like all the other credit card companies that say, "We will work with you to get caught up." and then say "oh by the way, you cannot use your card ever again, but we can still charge you interest". They didn't even give me a reason why the restriction wasn't able to be removed, just that "It's not being removed at this time". What a scam to tell customers who have been loyal long time customers that they will work with you to get caught up because they want you to stay with them, yet screw you at the same time. Lesson learned I guess! So disappointed!

Worst Bank In The WORLD! In May 17th, 2019 I logged in to my Capital One accounts, only to learn that both of my credit cards were “Restricted” which means closed. I call in to customer service, and no one has any answers why, even the supervisor can’t find anything. They can, they just can’t say. So I’m transferred to this voice mail from the “Executive Office of Resolutions” nobody answers, it’s leave a voice mail and someone will call you back. A few hours later, an email from the 360 banking dept. “We are closing your account” again, I called, no explanation. It would seem Capital One made a business decision to end the relationship.
Be very careful when using their products that this doesn’t happen to you. Very shady, and very strange all of the sudden. I’ve never had any late payments, overdrafts, late payment fees, been over the limit, bounced checks, returned ACH payments, any suspicious transactions credit/debit, any excessive abuse of credit, nothing was strange, and I’ve had my accounts for YEARS. They don’t even deserve 1 Star. 0 stars in my experience.

Worst customer service. Capital canceled my card without telling me and never sent a replacement. Found out after my card was denied repeatedly. Their solution a senior acct. specialist by the name Edgar, was to ship me a card next day. Great this was on Thursday so he says it will arrive Monday or Tuesday of the next week. So case in point no customer service no legit solution and they themselves had the fraudulent activity by replacing my card that I never agreed to it or requested.

I have had 2 Capital One credit cards for 13 years. I have been paying an annual fee on both since I’ve had them. I decided to call and see if I can have my cards converted to ones that have no annual fee. I was told that in 2006 when I got them I agreed to the terms and conditions. I agreed that I had however as a long time customer I wanted to see if they could reward my loyalty over never having had any late payments. I was told that “there are no upgrades available to you” and basically it is what it is. So I could apply now....as a new customer and get a card with no annual fee but since I’ve been a long time customer I’m stuck with the fee? This is a terrible message you’re sending to your long time customers. Why am I showing loyalty to a company that doesn’t show any to me?

A little over a year ago I applied for a Capital One credit card. I was approved and sent a card. Upon arrival of the card I contacted Capital One. I told the representative over the phone I was no longer interested. I asked for it to be noted on the account, to close the account and I was mailed a letter stating the closure. Fast forward to today, out of the blue I received a statement. It showed my line of credit and a zero balance. Immediately I contacted Capital One. After going round and round with the manager on duty the card was closed. Not one time in over a year did I ever receive a statement of any kind. I had no relationship with Capital One. How is this even possible and how can I trust this won't happen again?

I've put well over a hundred thousand dollars through this credit card over the past 10 years. In this case, I bought an item which arrived not as described (broken). Filed a dispute, got a chargeback. The seller got 45 days to respond. On April 10th I saw that this charge was rebilled on April 01, called in and was told that I only had until April 23rd to respond (which means that even if I saw this right away, they still only gave me 23 days vs the 45 days the seller received). I said that this can't be right and that I would dispute this discrepancy once I received an actual letter statement to this effect from Capital One. The letter arrived on April 17th and stated the case was already closed! So the seller got 45 days to respond, I was told over the phone that I would get 23 days for my response and then by the time an actual letter arrived 17 days later - the case had already been closed!
After a series of complaints, my problem was forwarded to an account supervisor named Julian. I was told to expect a call in the evening PST, but Julian called twice in the morning (when I'm at work) and then refused to call back on three subsequent call back promises that Capital One made thereafter. So out of 5 evening callback requests, I got two morning attempts and then nothing. The last time I called the agent actually told me that Julian is probably not calling me simply because I didn't pick up the fist two attempts (even though, again, these attempts were made at completely different times than I was told to expect them).
I was also told that even if I do get a call as promised, the case is already closed and there's no way to appeal. So, apparently, they can just close a dispute whenever they feel like it and, even when this is a glaring error on their part, there is zero protection offered. Needless to say, I will no longer be doing business with Capital One and don't recommend anyone else does either. The bottom line is that this company's "purchase protection" claims - prove downright fraudulent. To say nothing of their "customer service."

On May 8 I was browsing through my reward points looking at pricing for a potential vacation. I was doing some comparisons and mistakenly clicked to redeem 44,000 points with JetBlue. Immediately after I realized my error I contacted customer service at Capital One to alert them of my error. In conversation with the level one rep they understood my concern but we’re unable to assist. I then requested to speak to a manager and was transferred accordingly. In conversation with the manager he stated that there was nothing he could do to correct the issue. When I asked to speak to his manager he claimed there was no one higher than him then I could talk to. He was a little rude in his tone and suggested we contact JetBlue directly.
I contacted JetBlue and the rep was sympathetic to the situation and simply stated that the points could be returned to Capital One and that a simple email from the points department to JetBlue is all that would be required. I then called back to Capital One and spoke to a new rep who stated that my concern would be escalated to the appropriate team and a review would take five business days. I received a call back this evening May 13th and again explained the situation to the Capital One rep. Once again our request to have the points returned to our account was again denied. I again requested to speak to a manager.
In conversation with the new manager she was unwilling to write a simple email as I requested to JetBlue to resolve this to which I feel is unfair to me being a valued customer. I am very upset with the situation and the lack of customer service Capital One has provided thus far. Your company needs to review their policies to be more customer centric. When errors are made there should be provisions to help the customer. I would appreciate a call within 48 hours as I will be taking this matter to the Better Business Bureau and other social media outlets.

If you plan to open an account and use it right away, this is NOT the choice for you. I opened a 360 savings account 1st, on 05/02 and transferred $5 from my already established non 360 checking account. They do the verification with 2 small deposits into your current account to verify. This finally happened on 5/7. I verified the amounts and thought ok cool I'm good to go finally, and transferred a larger amount. I had opened a 360 checking account in between transferring another $5 to start. I read up online and kept seeing check deposits are usually available the next day. So I went ahead and deposited my paycheck into the 360 checking. Nope, they are holding my paycheck for a WEEK before it will be available.
Typically I would be screwed if my paycheck was held for a week. Fortunately at this time of year it's not going to kill me. Both of my initial $5 transfers have only become available today, 5/13. My larger transfer into 360 Savings last week STILL isn't available. In my opinion, that's ridiculously slow given today's technology. But Capital One pulled their $0.03 and $0.09 verification deposits back out of my non 360 account within hours of my verifying. Maybe they will end up to be good accounts, but it's gonna take forever to find out! I wish someone had given this info in one of the many reviews I read before I started the process.

Omg, I just had the worst day dealing with Capital. Few days ago I used my card purchasing online. Then notice from the company that I purchased from stating I was denied. The another company stating I was denied. So then I finally called Capital One asking them why I was denied? Then the drama start. Questioning all kinds. Wtf. I was just using my card to purchased online. What is the credit card for. I look up online. I did not see anything suspicious charges. I verified my purchased to the Capital One agent.
Here the drama of verifying my identity. Really? I have already verified all to make sure it was me that used my card. Then I was to upload my driver's license so they can verify that it was me. Few days later I never heard back from anyone. Then they ask me if I requested a new card. I said no. I only wanted simple answer "why did you deny my card?" No brain whatsoever. Then today I was someone tried to change my PIN number on some date. So much more drama ahead trying to fix all payment that was done on autopsy coz this people told me you have contact them. That is not our responsibility. Really? What are you then. Easy to take my money. You charge for all the interest but your services sucks.

Updated on 06/10/2019: I tried a couple more times to reach a supervisor and one was never available and they claimed I could only speak to a supervisor. They made no effort to speak to me and threw up roadblocks every step of the way. I wanted to try to get the late fee removed. So I cancelled the credit card online before they could not harm my high credit rating. Got a new one from CitiBank ASAP. Fortunately my payment was only a couple days late so legally they could not report it unless it was over 30 days late. Never do business with Capital One. Horrendous treatment of an excellent customer.
Original Review: I rarely use my card and recently placed $10 on it and never received any notice or alert via email or text that a payment was due. I happened to check the app tonight and was also charged a late fee that would harm my perfect 831 credit rating. I attempted to call and speak to someone at Capital One but was told I had to speak to a supervisor only and that rep could not speak to me. No one came onto the line when I was transferred and I tried a second time. After being on hold, I was told they could not tell me when a supervisor would be available. What a scam.
By the way, this is the same Capital One that has been sending checks to members for an alleged unclaimed property refund. I never had any account with Capital One beyond a credit card and when I called a year ago to verify the check was legit, they could not tell me what the $800 refund was about. I believe they are trying to head off a class action lawsuit for overcharging fees, etc. by sending these "refund" checks and refusing to disclose the reasons for the checks. Very dishonest company. The company needs to be investigated for fraudulent practices.

We closed our money market account to move to a bank with a better interest rate. We waited 11 business days for our final check for funds held. I called and they could not even tell me if they mailed the check but they would have to take 3 days to stop payment and then take another 10 business days to issue another check which they would NOT send with tracking so NO ONE could ever prove that they ever sent check.
After calling 3 times more and insisting on speaking to a manager I discovered they never issued the check in the first place!!! Now they are researching why they didn't BUT they still have not returned my money. All I have is a case number. The people were pleasant and always said they are sorry and have a nice day but no one has ever solved the problem of getting me the $104 they have of mine.

WARNING! SCAM ALERT! DO NOT GET A CAPITAL ONE CREDIT CARD. If you make your payment early they charge you twice. I just got a card from them on April 14, 2019. My first payment was not due until May 28, 2019 so I decided to make my payment early so I wouldn't have to worry about it at the end of the month and made my payment on April 25, 2019 for more than the amount due.

I have had an issue with accessing my account online for several months now. I've called back well over a dozen times to get help with this. ZERO support has been given. There have been numerous excuses and promises to fix the issue and I've been told to call back in a week. Capital One does not return phone calls supposedly.

One to three days they will contact you (we know Lies). I knew this wouldn’t get resolved. So I called back and spoke with a very intelligent lady manager.
I explained everything that happened. She was very apologetic. Which I greatly appreciated. But still not happy. They inputted a incorrect SS number more that what my SS was. She explained that because it was not my SS number it would never get reported to the Credit Bureau, which I totally understand. There is a balance on the card that I would have to pay. Mind you it’s not my SS number. She advised me that I would need to reapply with my SS number. I agreed and I did and got declined. Go figure. So I have a bill that’s not mine and got declined under my own SS. Plus the rudeness of everyone. I would NEVER EVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO CAPITAL ONE.

So I called again on 05/02/2019 to verify that the card will work because I will be receiving my direct deposit on Friday and was informed by a different customer service agent that it was closed and could not be reopened.
She then informed me she would get me a card mailed out by expediting the card to me free of charge since I was given the wrong information the first time. So today 05/05/2019 I call the customer service support and was told no debit card was ever order for the new account that I received my direct deposit into. So I am beyond disappointed and dissatisfied with the lack of ethics within the customer service support team.
Being that this is primarily an online bank since they do not have physical branches located in Illinois I will be closing my accounts and credit cards because of the poor service I received. I have bills that need to be paid and now I have to wait 7-10 business days to receive my debit card. Is unacceptable. I also work in the consumer banking field and can say this is the worst service I’ve received in a long time. So future online consumer beware of the lack of ethics and inconsistent information you receive from the customer service department.

I received an invitation to open a credit card account with Capital One. I applied and was approved. Fast forward 6 months, in that time, I ended up getting a new phone with a new number. I went to pay my bill for its most recent cycle. Upon using my new phone, it did not recognize my IP address. The only way to sign in was to verify from my old phone number. It is not in service. I call the number provided. Fast forward almost an hour of being on hold, they could not authorize me to change my phone number. I do not have an I.D. Granted, they never bothered asking for one when I applied and was approved. I got this credit card without an I.D. I am 86 years old. I don’t drive. I have no need for one. So I have been making due as is.
After being denied the ability to change my phone number merely so I may pay my bill, I ask if I could pay it over the phone. The woman said I could. We hang up. I call the number. Give my details. The automated system then changed from my last call out. Now it demands I verify my information. I do not have this ability, as I do not have the picture documents. This said, I am literally unable to pay this month's bill of $25 on time. Needless to say, I cut my Capital One card and put it in the envelope. I will send to the billing department, along with a money order when I am able to get one.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Capital One claims they do this to "secure their customer's information". If that was their intent, they would have denied me the ability to get a card because I do not have a form of picture ID. Clearly, I received a card. This means someone could have taken my social security number and gotten this card just as easily. Never have I ever been so frustrated by a hypocritical credit card company. Disgusting.

Capital One gave me a second chance when nobody else would with a credit card with a $300 limit, and after 6 months of my prompt monthly payments they raised my limit to $500.

Saw ad on TV for Savor card. Applied and got the card. Used it for five months, and was able to get great $$$$ on Rewards as I purchased Season Tickets for Cardinals baseball. Out one day, tried to use card and it was declined. Called customer service and was told the account was closed, and decision was not reviewable. Was given no reason for the action taken, and was told I would receive a letter in the mail, which after a month I have not received. Only thing I can guess, is they did not like the $$$ paid out, as I did not carry any balance, so they got no interest income. If they want to offer the 4% then live with the cost of the offering.

Apparently Capital One is suppose to notify you if you have reached or are reaching your withdraw limit from a savings account. Never received a email or text alert as they claimed on the phone is suppose to happen. I logged into my account today to check if a transfer had gone through and found out they had closed out my account without notice. I would as they claimed be getting a check in the mail in about 7 business days. However, I live in an major city where both packages and mail get stolen all the time and this check for several thousands of dollars won't require a signature.

At its inception, I applied for and received a Capital One Savor Card. I heavily relied on the fact that this card was conceived and promoted based on the fact that it provided its users the ability to earn 4% Rewards on purchases of "DINING and ENTERTAINMENT". I have now found out that "category code" that the merchant supplies Capital One, determines the reward level of benefits that the Savor Card will pay the cardholder. Specifically, two of the merchants among many others, that I question are NETFLIX and DIRECTV. These items were classified as "phone/cable" not Entertainment! My purchase of both Netflix and DirecTV were purchased directly from the merchant and included no phone or cable cost packaging. Both of these merchants now pay a rewards of 1% not 4%!
After contacting Capital One, I was told that they had to go by the code provided by the merchant and felt "no responsibility" to evaluate that code as to its correctness. Finding that NETFLIX and DIRECTV are not classified as ENTERTAINMENT seems to be a valid error that needs to be changed, if Capital One continues to promote the Savor Card to reward its cardholders 4% on the Entertainment. I would assume that if this is not corrected, a Class Action suit will eventually would be pursued by cardholders.

Capital One credit card for approximately a year and a half. The first payment that I made unfortunately bounced because the bank that I was using the prepaid debit card they charge me a drawing of use and sometimes when I made my payment if the company didn’t take the pay within five days they would take the fee at the bank and then leave it short. The debit card even charge me a dollar to call for questions. My account showed the payment posted and they doubled my credit on the card and I spent it because I didn’t know that that it happened and that happened the very first month.
As soon as I found out what happened I paid the bill and fall and continue to pay the bill and for every month since. I’ve always had really good credit but went on disability and my credit rating went down which was why I was on a Hi-Rez credit card with Capital One. I was told that I would get a credit line increase and I’m used to having 20,000 or credit cards and this was $300.
After a year and a half of making my team is on time I was never given a credit line increase. I was told that I probably wouldn’t get one but some of the customer service rep said, "Oh I that wished all of our customers accounts to just looked like yours." When I explain to Capital One that I would request wanna never get anything in writing in the mail their system or just say will notify you in 3 to 5 days which is no. I didn’t get a notification that I have been approved for a car loan up to $35,000. They told me to go to a dealer that I had done business with before so I did and bought the car. The car is not finance to Capital One. I was never approved with Capital One and their email to me about being approved was all **. Some kind a marketing gimmick I’m sure.

I went online and printed off Capital One's Hardship page. I was very encouraged to see what they do for their customer's who are having some financial difficulty. I called my 2 other credit card companies first explaining that I had 7 documented disabilities. I had been denied disability only because the judge had a negative relationship with my physician. My case is now in the US District Court & it could be another year before the judge reads my Brief. I said I needed some help since I have been waiting for Disability for over 7 years. I have never had a late payment in over 47 years. Both companies helped me more than I ever thought they would.
I then called Capital One. I've talked to many people in the last 2 months being transferred from person to person every time. I have been told that I could get no help until I am delinquent! I have been told many times to call back next month. I was told that I could make a minimum payment & not be charged a late fee for 3 months by 2 different people. I asked about the high rates but they didn't know about that. One woman was so nasty that I told her that I was going to get off the phone now before she had the chance to say Capital One would throw me in the dungeon & put me on the rack.

I signed up for this Capital One Platinum Mastercard back in Sept. 2018. I had recently been discharged off chapter 7. This card had no annual fee. No high interest rates. And the plus was it offered a credit increase after 5 on time monthly payments. I had paid this card off every month. No little amounts. PAID IN FULL each month. Back in March, I noticed that I was still at $200.00 available credit. This actually hurts your credit because 1. It's such a low balance that every time you use it, it will show up as 78% used credit showing that your over using your available credit. So, I was told that April is the month that I would receive a credit increase. Well, here it is April and what do you know? No credit increase!
I called Capital One customer service and they told me that the type of card that I have does not offer any credit increase. I was furious to say the least! I told them that I have the paper documents to prove that if I made 5 on time payments that my credit line will increase. She told me to fax those documents into them. She also told me that she showed no comments that I had called three times before.
Bottom line, I will send those documents in. Wait till the end of June, if I do not receive any credit increase, I will cancel this card. It's funny that they say this is a secured card. However, I never deposited any funds into this card and started with $200.00. All the cards I had ever had that was secured I had to actually put funds into the account in order to have the funds to charge anything. So, to me? This card is a joke! It's a BAIT & SWITCH card and in the end will only hurt your scores rather than help them! Maybe keep it 6 mos and not charge anything on it just to get your scores up enough to get a REAL credit card and then cancel this card once you've secured a card that at least starts you out at $300 to $500 and make sure you keep the original document that came with the card that shows you're on a credit increase program after so many months. Otherwise? You will just defeat yourself!

Two nights ago, upon realizing I was a day late with my Capital One payment, I called a payment in on my phone for $100, which has always been foolproof. Surprise for me next morning to get a confirmation email from Capital One for my payment of $2100!! Called the company to cancel the payment and pay the $100 I wanted to pay, and was informed I couldn't stop the payment. I am living on a fixed income, and I would be cleaned out if this went through, with payments into my checking acct being cancelled, and bounce-check fees left and right. My option was to call my bank and put a stop order on the payment, which has a hefty fee attached. Also, I can't pay my Cap One bill out of this account for 6 months (?). So, the repercussions will make it hard to pay this bill for half a year. Called Cap One as a courtesy to explain this, and the representative didn't understand why it would be a problem.
I used to think this credit card was one I wanted to keep, but I now know I will be getting rid of it ASAP. The last chapter is I went on my account online to make sure the payment hadn't gone through, and it was posted that it had. I called the bank, they said no it hadn't. So called Cap One, and they said, "Oh yes, it went through!" I believe my bank, who I have used for 35 years, before this credit card company. I was tempted to say fine, then my credit card is nearly paid off, but I happen to be honest, even with dishonest people. So, let them know there won't be any 2100 coming from me.
I can't wait to be done with this horrible company. We are penalized for being one day late with a $38 fee, charged ridiculous interest, and when they make a mistake, all they say is, "So sorry for the inconvenience, but there's nothing we can do about it!" Of course there is something--they just don't do it. If I said I couldn't pay my bill to them, that wouldn't fly.

DISCLAIMER: The following review is MY OPINION of the events that took place from last night through today and MY OPINION of my experiences with Capital One support, website, and services. I am not responsible for anyone else's decision as a result of my writing my opinion below. By reading this review you agree to the above terms. Last night, I received an email from Capital One stating that someone has requested my account username. I navigated to CapitalOne.com using my saved favorite and changed my password from a 29 character random password to the max (only 32 characters allowed) randomly generated password.
I tried to enable MFA as I had done many times in the past, yet even in 2019 they still do not support this. I was hoping for MFA with token access, have the Capital One app give me a notification to approve, etc. Nope. Not an option. Oh well, at least I could lock both of my credit cards, right? Ha! I locked both of them but it gets better...
This morning I get a notification that my card was used to purchase over $600 worth of whatever on some shady airline (looked it up) called Interjet Internet. I'm like how the heck did they do this? I locked my cards! So, I called Capital One. Guess what? The card that was used was unlocked! I asked how as I'm sure you're dying to know too if you're reading this review.
After about a 5-8 minute hold, I was told "We sent an SMS and received a message back that it was okay." I'm was like "you what?". They sent a message via what anyone and everyone in the security industry knows is one of the least secure methods to send information – SMS (Text message). It's not encrypted, is in clear text, and CAN BE INTERCEPTED. Of course, I never got the message. But if they did in fact send this message, guess who did get the message? Yup, the criminal using my card number.
Why would a bank remove the lock that you put on from an IP in FL late at night last night so someone can make this purchase from an IP address well outside of FL on some airline site I've never used before after a whole bunch of account changes were made the night before? Nothing suspicious there... NOTHING about the trail of events should have been considered normal and for my authenticated lock down of the credit cards to be waived by 1 unsecure text message is JUST PLAIN DISGUSTING.
Capital One should be ashamed of what happened. The only thing I could have done (and would have if I had known the end result) was to cancel my card last night. Unfortunately I cannot rewind last night or I would have reported the card stolen that was sitting in my safe but figured the credit card lock would have actually prevented it from being used. I mistook the login request as an attempt to just gain access to the account, which I'm sure it was (to see how much credit was available and any other info they could get on me) but if this ever happens again, I am canceling any cards associated with that login and requesting new ones immediately.
I will say that the support people handled it decently in that they were pleasant but not all that helpful. This is the 2nd card in less than 6 mos that has been compromised. Both Capital One cards. I've got a number of other cards and I'm in my 40s. I've never had a card compromised until these two. I do get that vendors get breached and information like card numbers gets leaked.
This is why I've minimized the cards I use now or use services like PayPal, etc., but I still feel like my Capital One account login is not secure without a secure MFA method and there is nothing I can do aside from canceling my cards and closing the account to fix it. One last good thing to point out is that both times Capital One was helpful in not holding me responsible for the charges. However, I feel that if their security was better, I would have been able to prevent this charge in the first place...

I was logged into Experian to look at my credit. There was an ad that said that I qualified for a Capital One Visa. I clicked O.K. and they sent me a Visa. I never used it and 3 months later I get a call from them telling me that my account was overdue and that they had sent me 3 bills that I did not respond to. I get credit card solicitations in the mail almost every day. Since I had not used the card I wasn't aware of the fact that I owed them money and didn't recognize the company when I received the bills so I must have shredded them because I didn't think I owed them anything and mistook the mail as a solicitation. After all, I had not used the card.
My other credit cards didn't charge a fee to set up the accounts and they don't charge an annual fee. Apparently there is a $39.00 charge initially (and I believe annually) that I was not aware of. With penalties for paying it late it was up to $112! I was only made aware of this late fee because I received a phone call from them informing me that I was late. I immediately paid it over the phone and explained that I was not aware of any charges to the card.
Then, a couple of days later, I get notified by Experian that my credit had changed. I logged on and found that they had reported to them that I was late and it knocked my credit score down DRAMATICALLY. Why didn't they call before it would affect my credit? I called them to straighten it out and they told me I would need to contact the 3 credit bureaus and contest it. I told them that they were the ones that made the mistake and I would cancel the card if they did not take care of it. As soon as I told them that I wanted to cancel I got put on hold many, many times.
Then transferred to a supervisor who I had to explain everything to again. More hold time. He transferred me to another person and I explained it again. He transferred me to a senior manager who said she would look into it and call me 2 days later. Now, at this point I was on the phone for an hour. In my opinion they intentionally stall people who want to cancel hoping that they will give up and change their mind. She did call me and told me there was nothing that they could do. I told her to cancel the card. I did not speak to one person who spoke English well so I had to deal with the language barrier as well. They must offshore all of their customer "support", and I use the term loosely because that was not support.

On Thursday I go pay pay my Snap-on tool guy as I would every other week to find out my card is declined. Meanwhile no email, no phone call from them saying they're fraudulent charges. So I call. They say my card has been deactivated due to a fraudulent charge from Snap-on that I was trying to make so they have to send me a new card which will be 3-4 business days. Monday get an email. I will get my new card between Friday and Monday which Friday would be the 7th day. It was the only card I had so I call them back and tell them what an inconvenience it has been and their only answer to me is, "I'm sorry but that is how the Capital One automated system works. We have no control over it."
So now I have to wait because Snap-on Tools had a fraudulent charge posted against them by someone else so Capital One sees it as they are a fraudulent system and stealing accounts so I can't make payments to them anymore. I'm switching companies because no one can give me an answer on why I wasn't notified first and that I have to wait a week to a week an a half to get a new card when they are the ones that messed up.

I have been a card hoarder Now for a about 4 years. I've paid off my balance several times and had no issues. However this past 6 months I have kept a balance on my card But always paid my payments on time and paid more than the minimum payment. My bill was due April 6th. I was Finally able to pay off my balance Which I was very excited about. I paid my current balance not my statement balance so which means all interest in any charges should have been wrapped up in that. However 2 weeks later I get a notification on my phone that $27 in interest has been charged. I'm not really sure how interest gets charged on a $0 balance. I've paid off my card several times before and this has never happened. However when I called they said that's because they are a month behind on Interest charges. I believe they were just saying whatever that's why you have a statement balance and a current balance.
If you pay off your current balance there should be no more charges unless you make those Charges. Clearly there was a reason I want to pay off my balance so I didn't get charged any more interest. They told me if I consecutively pay off my balance then there won't be an interest charge but if I don't pay off my balance every time then I need to call and get the payoff balance if I don't want any reoccurring charges. That made no sense to me. My current balance should be the balance that I owe you the credit card and I should not get any charges if I pay off that by the due date which I did. I'm sure any other cardholder feels the same way.
The lady indicated to me that the credit card is a loan so you have to call for the payoff. I've never heard this on any of my other credit cards or from anyone. This is very unacceptable to me that I was charged interest on a $0 balance nor should any customer have to call for the pay off of their credit card which is only a $1500 limit. Your current balance should reflect any Charges that is owed that month. If you pay that balance off you should not get charge the interest the following month. People pay off their cards for reasons not to pay the interest the following month. This is very unacceptable and the customer service was absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable.

Capital One has removed the option to combine accounts. However it seems they now want the members to continue to check back consistently rather than send out a notification that the issue is fixed or removed indefinitely. This is not a great a form of customer service as they are essentially advising members to do "homework" daily. This should be changed. It’s not the fault of the one who advised this but clearly there can be a email notification sent to all members advising of the issue once it is resolved.

A little more than a week ago, I had lost my wallet. I used the Capital One App to look up my card number to make a digital payment and proceeded with the payment. A few days later, I noticed my card was locked due to "fraudulent activities". When I called to follow up with this account lock, they refused to give me any information about my account unless I provided them with a Photo ID. I informed them that my wallet is lost and that I do not have such documentation. They told me that until I provide them with a picture of my Photo ID the account will remain locked for my safety.
I end up going and getting a new ID from the DMV and submit it. They then tell me that the ID is not enough because it's a paper ID EVEN THOUGH I informed them that my state gives out paper ID's for about a month before you get the real one in the mail. They then wanted a picture of my social security card as verification that I am who I say I am. To this I refuse to give them.
They then inform me that unless I provide them with my social security card that the account will remain locked. I told them that's fine and I will refuse to make payments on said card until they decide that the ID I provided is sufficient enough for them. Be very wary before doing business with Capital One. I've been a member since 2015 since 2015 because they were the first card that I could get approved with and now I greatly regret it since they don't honestly care about their customers.

I’ve been a customer of Capital One credit cards for 6 years. As of last year I consolidated all of my banking with Capital One. That was my first mistake. On 3/31 I purchased a vehicle, it was a Sunday so the dealership asked that I remit payment no later than Monday 4/1. On Monday I go to my nearest Capital One cafe to request a banker's check to pay the dealership. They inform me that it takes 48 hours. The dealership informed me that was unacceptable. I asked the employee at the cafe for cash, not possible in the amount I needed. Then I asked for a wire transfer, and was also told not possible. I begged the dealership to accept a late payment and they were kind enough to accept.
I order the banker's check (pay a $20 fee for certified overnight) with a guarantee delivery of Wednesday 4/3 directly to the dealership. As of Wednesday evening the dealership still hadn’t received it. I call Capital One and they can’t locate the tracking number for the check, so I am transferred to a manager. He informed me that FedEx deemed the package undeliverable, and returned to sender. When would I have been notified, had I not called? I also was told I couldn’t manually pick up the check because I was not listed as the sender or recipient of the package (now I’m a 3rd party to my own cash). The Capital One manager informed me it’s on its way back to their HQ in AZ, and it will be added to my account when they receive it in 2 days. He then allowed a wire transfer to an old BOA account I have so I can get the money to the dealership, now 4 days late.
As expected BOA was friendly and got me the banker's check by 12 pm the next day. Fast forward - it is now Wednesday 4/10, and the original banker's check value is still not deposited back into my account. I call and am immediately transferred to a manager because yet again, they have no status on my check. After a few transfers I am finally told that the check was delivered to an address in VA, when it should have gone to Delaware (what happened to AZ??). They have no reasoning as to why, no tracking code to share with me and were not apologetic for that fact that they keep losing a slip of paper equivalent to cash within the FedEx system.
The “manager” refused to escalate my call or offer anything but - "When we receive it we will deposit it back into your account but we haven’t received it so I can’t help you." Capital One takes zero responsibly for listing an incorrect return address on their banker's check/certified mail packages and I am still missing this cash from my account on day 10. My husband and I will never do a dime of business with Capital One again, and warn you to do the same.

My previous credit card with this store was updated into Capital One credit card. They transferred my paperless option into this new account, so I was not to receive any paper statements. They also blocked my access to online account which took a few months and about 12 calls to resolve. Meanwhile the old account was still accessible and showing zero balance, misleading me that no payment was due.
The answers I received on why account access was blocked were that they block it once there's balance. How does it make sense, I can't comprehend. So eventually they started bombarding my home phone with calls (I wasn't there, so my family had to endure this). The "delinquency" was reported to agencies, dropping my score from 850 to 729.
It took about an hour on the phone to convince them to send me paper copies of the statements, as they refused to unblock the online access. Then it took another phone call and 6 transfers to remove the fees and make the payment. Then the online account still remained blocked and it took another 2 weeks and 6 call transfers to finally unblock it. Meanwhile they still maintained that the practice to block online access to paperless accounts is their normal practice.

I was like, "No way! I need you to refund my credit card immediately, I am not waiting for that long! It is not my fault." Then he hung up on me.
I called again and the new lady tells me the same story. I asked her: Are you going to pay me interest on my money since you kept it for so long? And she answers, "well, no, you are only receiving the money you paid back". I am so mad at this company, they are making money out of my money and when I asked for them to return it they asked me to wait for 10 business days before a check is issued.

I asked them to just cancel the deposit since they had to hold the check for that long and they refused.

They added the charge back amount and the amount on hold and now my account was negative for twice the amount even though my credit line was 3700.00 which is ridiculous.
They finally resolved the issue only to find I get a letter in the mail stating they reviewed my account and found it was not valuable and they decided to close it based on the terms of the agreement since they can close it at any time. What? They sound crazy! I have a credit card open almost 20 years with almost 10,000.00 credit limit and never missed a payment, I have a credit score over 800 and an open line of credit of over 3700.00 but I am no longer eligible for a checking account?

This is the worst card ever. In mid-March I had my card turned off by the fraud dept with no notice while I was overseas, when I need it most. They did not even give me a phone call to discuss any fraud or to give me any notice it was being turned off. After being declined by several merchants overseas, I gave them a call. They said my card was turned off. I asked, "Why?" They said, "Because of fraudulent activity in Dec '18." While it is true I did have fraudulent activity in Dec '18, a new card was issued at that time and it was old news.
I asked what that had to do with my new card? They did not have an answer. I asked if there was any current fraudulent activity with my new card. They said, "No". I asked again why they turned off my card. They said it must be some sort of "glitch". I said, "No problem, just turn it back on." They said that they could not do that, and it would have to be escalated to a higher department for investigation and it should take no more than 7 days. In the meantime, I was overseas without the use of this card. I have all my bills enrolled for auto payment using this card. Some of those bill payments were declined, and now I am dealing with that, too.
The seven day period passed, and my case has still not been "investigated". I spoke to 3 different managers in the fraud department, no one could help me and not one of them found any evidence of fraud. I am unable to log in to my account. My account is now marked as "Charged Off", a term used for delinquent card holders, and this is a black mark on my credit report. I have paid my bill in full on time every month for many many years. Ever since I first had this account in fact. They did tell me they have a backlog with these types of investigations, and this could now take up to 30 days. This is the worst card ever.

So on Feb 23rd for March which was due March 20th I paid my $30.00 bill, on March 23rd. On March 23rd I get a notice saying my bill was overdue. I quickly sent $30...thinking that I must have forgotten to pay it. Later when I had time to follow up...they took $30 out of my bank account on Feb 23rd. So I call them.
First thing I get told is, "Well you pay your bill with your mobile phone so we didn't do this." Then I get told they can see I am a great customer, pay on time or early, they appreciate that so much!! Then I am told I paid it too early and it was like a double payment in Feb. As THE CONVERSATION Goes On I Am Told THE $27 Late Fee Would Be credited Back. They CAN ONLY Do THIS Once AND ONLY FOR good customers. Yada Yada yada. Furthermore the 30 I had just paid would've applied to March because of MY mistake. Basically kept blaming me for paying them early. Sorry TOO early.
After speaking to a supervisor I was informed I needed to pay $88.00 to bring my not late bill current. So these idiots had the $30.00 I paid on Feb 23rd. The additional $30 I paid on March 24th were going to credit me 27.00 and of course the one payment for $30... However I was going to be bill $88.00 BUT I SHOULD REALLY PAY JUST $58.00 TO BE CURRENT. Their math not mine!! Now my math... You want me to pay you the 27 bucks that you are going to credit back to me. Cause the 27 is not payment. It can only be credited. Plus of course the 30 for April's payment.
My math say that is 57 buck not 58 or definitely not 88. With no one can tell me how they get 88 and they admitted I did not pay my bill late, but I need to pay a late fee so they can give me said late fee back plus pay nearly a double payment to bring the account current when truthfully March and April's payments were made. By their standard though only March has been paid. Even if I go for that BS one payment should at least count, but they want 88 bucks more because I paid my bill early.
No one can tell they want 27 plus 30 and 58 or as the bill says 88. 88 minus 27 minus 30 is 31 more bucks. No one knows why but apparently they think I owe it. Even though I've paid both cards early for over a year, without any problems. I Pretty much told them shut the card off. They will get 30 a month until it's paid off. I will only be using my other cards that appreciate customers who pay on time or early. Capital One here is a math lesson for YOU... YOU NEED CUSTOMERS MORE THAN WE NEED YOU. To everyone else pass this company by. There are many great credit card companies, but this isn't one of them.

I submitted the form now over four times to which they've given me the response that it wasn't legible and needed to be resubmitted, however, they are behind on reviewing forms from over two weeks so I'll just have to wait. And even once they do review, they have a 7-10 day waiting period for me to receive my funds and close my account.
This process started on the 7th of the month. Today's date is the 25th and still nothing from them in regards to communication. My funds are still there and I cannot access them.

I have had a Capitol One Sparks Business Card for many years and had accumulated 280,000 miles. Sunday evening I booked a flight for a business trip that I was taking in two weeks. Monday morning when I got to work and checked my email confirmation somehow they had the traveler name as our company name. I called the travel center to get it changed and they told me that the only thing that I could do was to cancel the ticket and rebook at the current rate. The ticket price had gone up $140 overnight. I told the lady that I was not going to pay the difference as it was not my mistake.
I went back onto the booking site and when I click on the dropdown list for traveler information my name is the only one in the list so it had to have been a computer glitch that somehow pulled in the company name for the traveler. The CSR would not budge on making me pay for their mistake so I asked to talk to her supervisor. Same BS from her. So I went back online and used up the rest of my points then called and canceled my card. Of course it was all an automated system so I didn't get to explain to a person why I was canceling so that is why I am writing this review. I ended up calling Delta Airline and the CSR was very pleasant and helpful. I did end up paying a $50 fee to get the ticket fixed but that was better than the $140. When I go to trade shows the credit card companies always have booths set up to try and get you to use their products so I am going to give them an earful at that time.

I give Capital One the worst review of any CC company. Paid off my account in full, took them almost a month to report it and then charged interest after account was paid off. When I paid account to zero balance (almost 5k), they were barely willing to help where other companies were more than willing to help.

A few years ago I applied for a Capital One Platinum Card and was approved. I put a few charges and paid it off within a couple of months then put a few more small charges paid it off etc. I then put my dishwasher on the card a paid about 4 to 5 months in a minimum payment but couldn't stand to keep paying the small amount so I paid it off.
Two weeks later I looked and my card had been restricted!!! I called for a solid week in an attempt to figure out what had happened and was told with each phone call that I would have to leave a message for the "Executive Resolution Department" and they would call me back within 2 to 3 business days. That NEVER HAPPENED. I sent a fax with all of my info for that department with still no communication. I carried my phone in my back pocket for 2 weeks answering every aggravating solicitation call just to keep from missing Capital one's phone call. Never a returned call, email, fax or smoke signal. Nothing.
I was standing in a local grocery store earlier today listening to the conversation next to me and the woman was complaining that she paid off her Capital One Platinum Card and now it was restricted. I told her the same thing happened to me. She said that she has a close relative that works for Capital One in New Orleans and they said if Capital One doesn't see your account as profitable meaning if you pay your balance off too quickly and deprive them of making tons of money off of you, then they will cancel your account. The heck with trying to be responsible with your credit. Right??
I get back into my car and try one more time to get answers but was told the same thing by a very nice young lady. She genuinely said that she was very sorry and could tell that I was upset. An hour later my phone rings. I don't want to answer a number that I don't know but I'm glad that I did. I recognized the voice as the young lady that I just spoke with earlier from Capital One. She didn't call from the same number and she tells me "you deserve an explanation". Your card was cancelled because you kept paying your balance too early" and she hangs up. I was so shocked but appreciated that she gave me the answer that I was looking for and she also verified what the nice lady I had just spoke to in CVS had said.
This is the day for coincidence...as I'm typing this my phone rings again and it's the Executive Resolution Department 2 weeks later. I asked the woman why and she first tells me that I will be receiving a letter. I tell her that it's been a couple of weeks and unless it came from China to the US it didn't make it to me. She said that they canceled my card due to the fact that I used it against Capital One policy... what??? I then asked what transaction was against your policy. She says. "Ma'am I don't know." I asked her if the letter would tell me that and she says no, it will simply say my card was used against Capital One Policy.
I then asked "did I ever pay late"... she says no. I said did I buy a ** precursor with it by mistake lol and she says no. She would never give me and answer. What that tells me is that the lady from CVS and the anonymous phone call were both right. They were not making enough money off of my account. I'm over it now so thank you all for taking the time to read this crazy but very true story. Be careful with this company please.

I just closed my 3 Capital One 360 Online Savings accounts. There was a glitch that was not allowing me to name the accounts (nicknames). Since the balances are sometimes similar I need to be able to distinguish between them at a glance. After months of this & multiple calls to tech support, I closed my accounts. Not because of the glitch per se but because of this response, more than once: “we see no issue on our end, the back end, so we will not create a trouble ticket and we will not pursue this any further. We see no reason that this should be happening”. Translation to their customer of over 10 years: “This shouldn’t be happening therefore it isn’t happening”. Unacceptable.

I called late last week and if the change would have happened then, I could have viewed my bill and made my payment online then. I was then told they had an issue with the system and to call back today. I spent another hour on the phone with them tonight to get nowhere. I was told I couldn’t make the number change again tonight but to try back in a week. Wtf?? How is it our account and I can’t make a change to my phone number? The phone number they had on file was no longer in use so tell me how I am able to view my bill before paying it if I can’t access the account? All they kept saying repeatedly as they couldn’t share any information with me but they understand our frustration.
Frustration isn’t even the word for what I was feeling! So I was required to make a payment on an account that I couldn’t view but told if I didn’t pay it, I would accrue late charges. Then I was told I was late to pay by phone by an hour which was the time I was on with them asking to change my phone number. Hey but they were willing to send me a paper statement and I could send payment by mail but it’d be late so nothing like giving a customer options.

I asked for a credit line increase, this is the response "Recent use of this account's existing credit line has been too low". For over a year I have paid my account on time, been a great customer.
Now I ask for a credit line increase to actually use the card more, which I do use it every month. I simply keep my payments up and pay more when I can. So for that, they tell me, sorry but you don't keep your card at a high enough amount for us. It's a $500 limit, I keep it around $40 a month because like I said, I keep it paid down for the sake of my credit scores. Whether it's a $5000 limit or $500, I will keep it low. So what they are really saying, is they want all of us, to keep our spending limit high to keep out scores down and their interest rate pulling in as much cash as possible from us. It's a scam through and through and if you read this, my advice, stay away from Capital One Credit Cards and the company as a whole.

I specifically asked the customer service agent which Credit Reporting Agency was used for checking “credit worthiness” for new applicants and I was told that TransUnion was the only one used.
I then proceeded to unfreeze my TransUnion Credit Report. After unfreezing my TransUnion Credit Report I applied (online) for a credit card and was Declined. I have an 800+ Credit score and I am debt free. I made a 2nd call into the customer service department and spoke with a supervisor. She informed me that it was “due to the freeze” that I was declined and they were “unable to pull my credit”. I explained that I had already lifted the freeze and then asked her if it would hurt if I “tried again.” She answered by telling me that it would not hurt at all. When I attempted to apply again, I was declined, once again.
Frustrated, I phoned customer service (a 3rd time) and spoke with a different supervisor. This supervisor then explained to me that your company “pulls from ALL 3 credit bureaus”, which was contrary to what I was told on my original call. I was also informed that by the 2nd supervisor that your company did indeed pull my TransUnion credit report, which would leave a “hard inquiry” on my report.
I feel that I have been misled and do not believe that I was treated fairly. I do not feel that it was fair that my credit was “dinged” due to misinformation that was provided to me. I requested that the “hard inquiry” be removed from the credit report (TransUnion) that was affected and have not received a reply to my certified letter, which was sent over a month ago.

My mother passed away in 2004. She left credit card debt with Capital One and for some reason, my father didn't pay it. Not sure if he didn't realize it, couldn't pay it due to living on social security, not sure. In 2008 they took my father to court over my mothers defaulted credit card from 2004, because he was her spouse. I do not know what type of arrangement he made with them, whether to pay a small amount each month, etc.
In 2011 my father got sick, and all of his mail/bills, came to me. I paid them for him, while he was sick. He died a short while later, in January 2012. I was the sole heir of his property, as well as executor of his will, I handled all of his creditors once he passed. His mail still, in 2019, comes to me to deal with. I never received a single piece of mail/phone call, etc from Capital One. In 2014 my father's will went into probate, to allow me to sell his property, and creditors were alerted to the fact that the estate was in probate and they had to send in requests for payment. They only have a limited time, by law, to pursue payment. Again, nothing from Capital One. I wasn't expecting anything from anyone, he had passed 2 years earlier, and I had taken care of all bills that came through.
I entered into a lease-to-own contract with a buyer to purchase the property in 2015, and the attorney ran a title check on the property, it was clear. The buyer has been leasing to own, and let me know that they would be putting the property on the market a couple of weeks ago. When their realtor ran a title check on the property, there was a judgement lien on the property from Capital One, dated 2018.
How exactly, is it legal for them to, 1. Try to collect on a debt that defaulted in 2004, 15 years ago, 2. Bypass the legal limit of time for them to collect their monies when a property is in probate, and 3. Not alert the personal representative/executor of the will that they were owed money, and would be taking the estate to court for payment? I have NOTHING... I don't have a copy of the judgement, I had to call the courts and ask them to please help with whatever they could. I don't know where it was file, what it was filed for, or where to even start.

Capital One spammed my email and physical mail with a pre-approved 0% card for months, so I figured why not. Keep in mind I have a checking account with them and a card for years that has a limit of almost double this one, and $0 balance on it at the moment. Step 1: Call to activate, done activated. Step 2: Your card needs fraud check and you can't use it. Step 3: Submit 5 million documents all over the internet proving my identity, yet their link doesn't allow me to submit them all so I have to resize and do other stuff.
Step 4: You don't have enough documents, sent them passport, driver's license, w2, a 1099-int from Capital One. After spending 30 mins on their terrible phone system I learn I can't physically go into a branch to show my identity. Why? Who knows, maybe all the card scammers out there have an easier time cloning people than getting the massive amounts of sensitive documents I put in one place on their website. Step 5: Call up to get a new "secure link" and send my SS card. After this 30 min call the Capital One rep confirms that my documents have been received and now they have to call me back and to give them the best call time. I told them 12pm est.
Step 6: Got a call around 8:00pm est leaving a VM to call back. Get in touch with a representative in about 5 mins in the nosiest call center room in history. Then I'm placed on hold for about 20 mins as someone verifies the documents. What takes that amount I don't know as they aren't actually doing anything other than looking at them. My SS card wasn't signed. I requested to speak to a supervisor and explained the process they put me through and that I'll send the card signed right now, but I want it looked at and I need a new link. She hung up on me, no wonder why the company sucks because they have supervisors that are useless.
Step 7: Call in again, get a new link, upload the signed card. After about 15 mins on hold again, now I need proof of address. They have a Capital One 1099-int from me, passport, driver's license, w2, ss card, healthcare coverage tax form (forgot the name) and I believe I sent in a photo of myself holding these things as they have been frustrating me for 2 months. Online I have to figure out where the bank statement can be printed as the representative has no clue, figure it out, send it. More time on hold. Now I'm waiting for a callback yet again. I wonder what they will want this time? A blood sample probably. Basically Crapital One will jerk you around and treat you complete trash. Why? Only thing I can think of is they shaved two months off my interest free period on the card.

I have had a Cap One Visa card for over a decade and always found their telephone reps to be knowledgeable, helpful, fluent and conversant. However, something has changed since March 2019. On previous calls to consolidate my two credit cards into one, I received the usual high-quality service I've come to expect. I was told I would have to wait until March 6th to do this since my newest card was opened last October; the card needs to be open for 6 months before I could consolidate.
When I called on March 9th, I was connected to a very poorly connected line that sounded like someone working from home. The person was not very helpful and told me that the consolidate function was temporarily unavailable. Since this was a Saturday night, I figured perhaps the best and brightest were not on duty so I tried again on Monday March 11th. Wouldn't you know I was connected to the SAME PERSON (what are the chances of that?) with the same crappy cell phone sound with the same end result. Knowing that this was not going to go well, I hung up and tried again several hours later. End result: Different person but same crappy cell phone connection. Neither of these two were very helpful or knowledgeable. They basically read from a script. What's more, it reminded me of past experiences with offshore phone banks. I can't find any info on the internet to validate my theory but something has definitely changed... and NOT for the better.

I used Capital One card for my business for years. I had someone contact me wanting to sell some items to me for my business. Was nervous that it may be a scam, so I called Capital One before I made the purchase and expressed my concerns about it may be a scammer. I was reassured to go ahead and make purchase as I would be completely covered under their fraud protection plan if I did not receive merchandise. Well, I didn’t receive the merchandise, and the seller was arrested for scamming, but Capital One would not cover this under their fraud protection plan, as I was told they would.
I requested a copy of the recorded call where I was told I would be covered and they told me, “No problem...send your written request to this address”. As expected, they will not release that recording to me after all. I am now being charged $3800 for these purchases, plus interest and late charges. I am totally disgusted with Capital One. Can never talk to the same person twice and am told a different story each time you call. NEVER EVER do business with Capital One!

Beginning in early 2018, someone has been calling in to Capital One with my SSN, and DOB, to update the mailing address on my credit card, so they can then request a new credit card. This has happened 4 times now, and Capital One has ZERO security in place to protect victims of identity theft. When I spoke with the "manager" in the fraud department, he told me that Capital One has "layered" security, but if the person calling can provide a full SSN and DOB, then they will make any updates that person requests. When I question them about why they do not offer any kind of 2 factor authentication, like just about every other company in the world, they can't give me any answers. I've spent countless hours on the phone with Capital One trying to get everything corrected each time this happens. Beyond Frustrated.

My husband and I have cards with Capital One. We recently sent in a check to payoff off the balance on his card. I sent it by Priority Mail on Monday March 4th. Per tracking, it was picked up on Thursday and now they think the check is lost. How do you lose a $3800 check once it’s in your building? As far as customer service-nonexistent. Their answer is to send them another check—seriously? If you lost one, how many does it take before you find it and post it?

Originally obtained this card as a Cabela’s card. It was wonderful from 2012 till the end of 2018 WHEN CAPITAL ONE TOOK OVER. As soon as they took over, I began having issues with statements being send, and payment processing. I was diligent and never made a late payment or let a balance carry over. One payment in particular was never received by Capital one. I called them several times and they said It had not been received. So, I redid the payment online a few days before it was due. Also, since they did not receive the check (at least said they did not) I put a stop payment on it. Then 1 month later they tried to cash the check!!!! All the while I am having to deal with people who barely speak English and are following a prompted script of what to say (IE: No rational thought).
Now roll forward to today, I am getting ready to make a big purchase that will accept my Cabela’s card - so I want to earn points. I ask for a credit increase. Declined because "A payment on this capital one account was recently returned". WTF!!! I call in and explain the situation, they look at the account notes and history, and the only response is that 'due to the reasons stated they can’t approve the credit line increase." I asked to be escalated to a supervisor and was told no, and that there was nothing they could do to review the case. So I am declined a credit limit increase because THEY lost my check? then THEY try to cash it even though I told them it was stopped paymented, and I made a second payment of the same amount to ensure that the bill was paid and that no balance was carried over!
Capital One - you have lost my business and Bass Pro and Cabela’s needs to find another company to handle their CC transactions. For now Citi will get my business. Look through the reviews and you will see similar situations where loyal diligent customers have requested things and been declined, and have gotten no personal review. If an intelligent and rational Capital One representative wants to contact me to discuss this, please do - but don't call me if you can’t approve the credit limit. I am calling BS on your system.

That was the first I had heard of that and have NEVER experienced that with any other card. They wanted proof of who I was.

The Quicksilver 15 Month 0% APR is deceptive. It should say "Up to 15 months", or have an asterisk that you may receive something less than that, but nowhere does it indicate this, as other reviews have expressed as well. Not only that, they do their best to hide the terms and still call it legal. I applied for the Quicksilver card and was approved with about 760 credit score, never a late payment on any credit card, never defaulted on any credit card, never broke any agreement or violated any contract with a credit card. 9 Months later I started getting charged interest on a 10k balance at 25% interest rate. Why? The first rep I talked to couldn't even figure it out. He tried to connect me with someone else who could help, but said they were too busy and gave me a different number to call back with a different time.
The next time, the second rep said 'every account has different terms.' I asked 'Why was my account set at 6 months less than the 15 Month 0% advertisement? And then 25% APR? What do you have to have, an 800 credit score or something?' He had no clear answer, just 'as to the credit score requirement, I don't have that information. But every account is approved differently.' There's absolutely no reason for them to have done this. I told him I requested a copy of my terms online (it took an entire day to receive the email) and it said nothing about any promotion, just the current 25% APR. So how was I supposed to know I was going to be shorted like this?
I searched my email, and besides finding emails about posted payments, I never received a copy of the terms from the beginning. He said it should have come in the mail in a separate letter than the card came in. I said, 'well it's true. I probably threw that away after I saw that I was approved for what was advertised. But not having that one copy of the terms, you're telling me that's just too bad that I didn't know you scammed me? And in order to find out that I was deceived, I have to make this long phone call, request the terms, and wait up to 30 days to receive them? What in the world? The basic terms of when your APR promotion is over should be posted on the front page of your account! Or AT LEAST easy to access!' I told him, 'but of course they don't want you to know that, do they? This is deceptive, I'm sorry. I know you only work here and it's not your fault, but this is ridiculous and deceptive, and I'm going to leave the worst review online.'
So here it is. All I can say is, if you don't want the same thing to happen to you, keep a look out for those original terms they mail you and make sure they aren't trying to screw you over with something 6 months LESS than they advertised and seemingly approved you for, especially when there is absolutely no reasonable grounds for having done so.

I was eventually told the application documentation was sent to the address of the person who submitted the fraudulent application and I was asked to provide Capital One with identity verification of which I had been a card member of theirs for close to 16 years!
The hard inquiry remained until expiration of the mandatory 2 years period by the credit bureaus. At exactly the same time another fraudulent application was submitted to Barclay Bank which they cleared up the entire matter - including removal of the hard inquiry - within a 4 week period and I have never had, nor do I currently, have any of their credit cards.

A pop-up will indicate that the site should be reloaded always followed by a message to "try later" but it never works on those internet sites. An explanation of why ENO does not work with some sites would be useful, to avoid wasting time using the system at those sites.

Even though I have hardcore evidence of getting scammed (fake confirmation text messages, RECORDED PHONE CALLS).
On top of that they restrict my account, and since, for 2.5 weeks I've been going out of my way to send them the info they need to prove my identity. 3 different times. They still want something else specific!!! Now it's the end of the mth. MY CREDIT WAS DAMAGED 101 POINTS, MY ACCOUNT IS STILL RESTRICTED, AND I OWE WHAT I GOT SCAMMED FOR!!! These people are just trying to benefit themselves, and let me tell you, it has been a ** nightmare!!! Stay away from them!!!

Last year I was on my way back from California and my car which was financed through Capital One broke down in Arizona. I was stranded and the only reasonable option I could think of to park the vehicle was a nearby hyundai dealership (the vehicle that broke down was also a hyundai). I talked to them and they told me I could hold it there until I figured things out. I ended up being homeless and stranded for a few days during this escapade. Luckily, as last resort (I exhausted many options), I called my family to ask for help. I don't come from a financially well off family but they managed to pull together some money to help me pay for a rental car to make it back home.
Prior to all of this I called Capital One WHILE MY ACCOUNT WAS IN GOOD STANDING and told them I anticipated this would happen (pretty much right after the car broke down I called them and explained the whole thing and the possibility of not paying because the issue was engine and they don't make the engine anymore apparently and the cost of repair was around $8,000. So I decided might as well get new car at that point). Anyways, they told me pretty much just let it happen. So I let a couple months go by and I call back and they act like they had no idea what I was talking about and I had to re explain everything. They said they will get it to the right department and see about repo (that's what I wanted).
So another couple months go by and I call back to see the status of the situation, same thing happened, I HAD TO RE EXPLAIN THE WHOLE SITUATION AGAIN. Apparently they do not document what is said. So I did and again they said they will get it to the right department. So I wait another couple months. The hyundai dealership in arizona called me and said they are under new ownership and noticed the car that was there and asked about it. I explained the whole situation again and the guy said he would do his best to try to move things forward. Cool, so I wait another month and call back to try to get a hold of the guy and failed.
I call capital one and try to check on the status of the car and my account, they tell me I need to call a specific number and I do and it's a collections agency and say I owe the whole amount. So apparently capital one lied to me when they said they would take care of it. I tried contacting the owner of the dealership again and no answer, so I left a voicemail. Overall, this experience was terrible and once I get my situation taken care of I will never go back to capital one. I would never recommend this company to anyone. The whole thing from start to finish (not really finished) was a disaster and chaos.

About a year ago, I fell into some financial hardship and fell behind on my payments on a credit card from this company. I was put in restricted status, meaning I couldn’t use the card, which I think is completely understandable. However, I learned later from the company that this status is PERMANENT. That means that even with the account in good standing and completely paid off, it is restricted for LIFE. I have a better chance at killing someone and getting off sometime in my life than I do of being forgiven by Capital One. It is a ridiculous policy and I will never work with them again.

Beware. I had a Capital One account. I would often have $60 or $70 thousand charged on it. I pay bills by receiving statements, like most businesses. January 2019 I received no statement so I neglected a payment I owed. I found I owed the money when a charge was refused. I immediately called & dispatched the entire balance. I paid the charges refused by Capital One with another credit card. After all my years of history Capital One treated me like a criminal. I have to say I was very offended. After years of history with them with vast amounts of money they had no personal relationship with me whatsoever. After calling them, dispatching payment in full & sharing the bank transaction processing number they put me in with all their other flight risks who don't pay.
I was annoyed enough that I closed the account. I thought we had some sort of mutual trust but no. Anyway. It seems that they now are paid off & they paid the payments they had refused. I paid them twice but when I call to get my money back they say, "Sorry, we don't investigate accounts that are closed". They refuse to give me back my money. In my books that's theft. I ask to speak to the executive escalations department & they tell me, "That department does not take customer calls". When I request they call me I'm told "they don't make calls to customers". As I have spoken to that department before I know they are lying to me. SO BEWARE. THIS COMPANY ARE BOTH LIARS & THIEVES.

Capital One states that it takes 2-3 business days for this credit to go through, so I submitted this transaction 5 days before my payment was due and I received an email confirming this transaction. 5 days later the credit was still not posted. I called Capital One. They admitted that it was strange and saw that 5 days earlier I had this particular amount of cash rewards and that I no longer have them. They said that would expedite the matter but it would not be resolved for another 5 days and would not be able to use it towards my balance. They barely apologized.

I'd avoid it like the plague. We were on our annual trip to Costa Rica when I received an email questioning a charge made locally for $12.64 from Capital One. As I'm not opposed to security, I clicked the link saying it was our purchase. However, it did make me nervous as we'd already been in Costa Rica for a week and had made perhaps 20 charges already. What was going on? When we returned to the United States, I went to log into my account at Capital One. When I did so, I got a pop-up message saying that they did not recognize the location of my computer, and consequently were locking me out of MY account. They allowed 3 ways to get access. One was a text message sent to me with a code; I do not have texting capability. Another was to phone an automated number; I would be given the code. The third was to call Capital One -- they listed a number.
So I called as I wanted to ask them about the earlier email sent to me in Costa Rica. However, they then refused to do anything to reinstate my account unless I went through either route #1 or #2. As I'd already spent about 60 minutes to get to an agent, I told them that they could ask me any questions they wished - I would answer. They refused. So I am locked out of my account and cannot even look at the many charges from Costa Rica to see if they're legitimate.
I decided this was a company that I did not want to do business with -- although I'd been a customer for 14 years. On the phone, in the same call, they were then willing to close my account - but not allow access!? WTF? They identified me well enough to close my account, but wouldn't let me see my charges? Decision re-enforced! Then this morning, I get a call from an anonymous 800-number with a woman who identifies herself as "from Capital One". She then asks me for my birth date. What? An anonymous person on an anonymous phone line asking me personal questions. Avoid Capital One. They're there to serve themselves, not you.

It began simply enough, I have 2 cards, and I wanted to transfer my reward dollars from one card to another. They promote the ability to transfer rewards easily, and when I do the transfer it just tells you that you are transferring money. No indication that anything else will happen. But if the account that receives the money is not set up for the same rewards program, in my case it was set up for miles, the incoming money converts to miles at a reduced value. Then if you want to redeem what is now miles for dollars, to pay part of your bill for example, you end up with 1/2 the money. In one click they take 1/2 your reward money and there is no way to undo it. Customer service is no help, actually quite nasty. Time to move on!

Customer service is the provision of service to customers before, during and after a purchase. The perception of success of such interactions is dependent on employees "who can adjust themselves to the personality of the guest". My experience as a Capital One customer was an unpleasant one, an unpleasant experience that went on for several days, placing me in a position where one's professional composure could be saturated, provoking unprofessional behavior.
The uncomfortability of the service made me experience inconveniences that could have been avoided, if the situation was managed with a different approach of service and understanding. Customers are more than just a dollar sign you capitalize from, they're guest, whose concerns should be addressed respectfully so that strong business relationship could be forged with the opportunity to forge strong relations come referrals.
