Just came to write a review and interestingly enough found another consumer had the exact same issue as I did. Paid over $3K in full 2 weeks before the due date only to receive another bill for interest. Called and was told this is how it is. They are thieves for doing this... I will surely contact the banking department. BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE... JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE DONE...HERE COMES THEIR LAST GRAB!

If I could give ZERO stars I would. I've been a loyal, excellent card holder for years with Capital One. I've never missed a payment and I've never been late on a payment. I have great credit. I paid off my balance of almost $5,000. A month later they tacked on a $50 interest charge. REALLY?? I called and waited on hold for 30 minutes only to get some woman who barely spoke English. I went through the whole story with her and I could not understand her, so I requested to speak to a supervisor. Waited an additional 15 minutes on hold.
Needless to say, he was a condescending jerk. He spoke to me like I was an idiot. He actually asked me if I read the terms of the card contract or if I called to get a payoff balance. I told him, "No, why would I when I have an online account and have to wait 30 minutes on hold when I do call". He refused to waive the fee. because of this lack of loyalty from CAPITAL ONE, I closed the account and he gladly assisted me in closing my account. CAPITAL ONE DID NOT CARE at all that they lost an excellent customer. I guess they need to rip consumers off so they can afford to pay high-end celebrities to promote CAPITAL ONE. I will NEVER have anything to do with CAPITAL ONE again and I suggest anyone looking for a new card or any sort of financing to AVOID CAPITAL ONE.

When I went to log in my online account to Capital One the screen said it was locked. I called customer service and was online for an hour. They stated they had to escalate the problem. It has been a month and several calls and the online access has not been resolved. I cannot check charges before payment. I received a statement in the mail but it is 20 days old. I always pay my balance every month. I cannot do this since I do not want to pay if my card number has been stolen. I am to the point of just canceling the card and getting another one with someone else.

Capital One representatives are so poorly trained they make it obvious during a phone call. I paid off my Capital One Platinum Card on 2/26/19 for the balance that Capital One showed was owed. On 2/27/19 the idiots still auto-drafted another $60 payment! They showed a credit of $60 on my card. Then on 3/02/19 they charge me a $20.99 for an "interest charge" on a credit card that I paid off four days prior!!! I called them and spoke with a male rep that was completely clueless. I could tell he was merely reading prompts from his computer screen like a drone.
I asked to speak with a supervisor. I spoke with a female that was just as clueless as the guy. Common sense isn't that common these days. Any which way she attempted to explain charges after a payoff was ridiculous!!! Choose another credit card company and steer clear of these crooks at Capital One!!! Capital One -spend some money and TRAIN these people you put on the phone to answer simple questions from consumers! You are an embarrassment to the human race!!!

When I activated my card and I set up autopay on it. For all the previous bills it worked well. But at last bill it didn't charge to my account automatic. After 1 month I received the phone call from them. Got told own them 36 dollars. I paid right the way at the same day and they still reported to the credit bureau. This is ** company.

My credit was stolen and called in to cancel my card and dispute a charge. My purse was stolen as well which contained my driver's license. They could not identify me even though they all pertinent info like ASN address, mother's maiden name, etc... They asked me questions that were over 30 years old to try and establish my Identity. The questions were where I lived 30 years ago. I couldn't remember so they wouldn't help me. I asked them to mail me documentation to prove who I was. They couldn't do that either. My card was cancelled but the dispute was never addressed. Customer service and the fraud department was a joke. I had no problems with any of my other credit cards. Stay away from Capital One credit. Horrible, Horrible service.

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.

If you use Capital One for your credit score, you're absolutely lost. They submit the accumulated monthly statement to the credit score bureaus without taking into account payments you make to settle your balance. Their service is horrible. Email support is nonexistent. Phone support gives you a heart attack fighting with a computer voice until you get to speak to a real person after 15-30 minutes. Now the person you reach in an outsourced call center keeps praising your business relation with Capital One with memorized phrases in every sentence they start, usually without being competent enough to help you with your problem. Better ask for a supervisor right away to slightly enhance your chance to get a problem solved. Instead of spreading wannabe lifestyle cafés all over the country they'd be better off with improving their service system. For now it’s truly HORRIBLE!!!

Absolutely disappointing. The worst credit card. Horrible customer service. I have a venture card. My credit score is 820. I pay off my card in full. They are holding funds already for 8 days and my available credit card balance is 0. I can't use my card. In my account it's showing that it's paid. Transaction posted (not pending). My checking account also showing that that Capital One withdrew money from my account. I received emails from Capital One that they received my payments (I even overpaid). No one in customer service wants to help. I have called multiple times. Every time they move funds release day. And at the meantime I can't use my credit. Horrible experience!!! Wish I never got this card!!! Choose another card. STAY AWAY. You will be disappointed.

Capital One Savor card is fraudulent advertisement. If you shop at a grocery store the Savor card is supposed to earn you 2% cash back. If you call Capital One they will tell you that you were shopping at a supermarket and not a grocery store so they only reward 1% even though the charge clearly says grocery store on the website.

Beware - it messed up both PayPal and Amazon accounts. PayPal is so concerned about this that they opened a fraud investigation. When I linked the Eno to PayPal, my payment settings were changed. How on earth can it change my settings on PayPal? Even PayPal was mystified but that is when the change occurred. I had reoccurring payments bounce because they were sent to an account I had closed. Eno had changed my backup payment to it. I never authorized Eno to change my payment methods. I assumed (wrongly I guess) that I could specify the virtual card if that is what I wanted to use. I never thought it would change all the payment settings on PayPal. As I said earlier, PayPal is as concerned about this as I am.

If I could give no stars I would. I've been with Capital One ever since I was 17, now in my 30s and I've never had a late payment! This last December they gave me a wrong minimum payment and yet my account never reflected that. I kept going in and paying my minimum payment until today I went in and it said my account was past due (mind you this is February) waaay past December. I had 3 late fees and my next payment due was over 120 dollars! I called them and the person on the phone gave me the runaround for 45 mins, finally talked to her supervisor and they both tried to say it's my fault for their app's mess up!
They said they'd take one late payment off but that was it. Bull. As I stated, I've been with them since I was 17! And every payment I made reflected me making the minimum payment every month, except for the weird 1 DOLLAR different payment I made in December that I clicked minimum payment on! You'd think being a long loyal CUSTOMER they'd have given me that respect and fixed it for me. They are disgraceful and I'm never dealing with this company again. I suggest everyone else do the same.

I plan on closing my Citibank account and opening up a free account like Capital One. That means no Citicard credit card. I need a new one. In an attempt to apply for one, I was denied twice. Trying to talk to someone is very hard. Chat is accessible, but they cannot do everything via chat. On hold for very long times. Upon speaking to customer service they cannot tell me why nor help me find a credit card - not personalized at all! She kept asking me what my credit was "good or excellent?" When I asked what she meant, she could not tell me. I plan on starting a business (recent grad). Again, there is no personalization. Running into walls like this was a big red flag, so I decided to close my checking and savings account.

Just stopped off at the Capital One on Union Blvd in West Islip. It was close to 5:00, but we had a few minutes. I went in because I needed to cancel out my Debit card and get a replacement. Sure, it was close to 5:00 BUT it was really disappointing when I asked the teller if she could help me. She said she had to go somewhere so she wouldn't help us. That was really disappointing. It is all about customer service after all! Now I know why they are closing this location!!!

One of my vendors processed the wrong amount on a charge. When I received a fraudulent charge email that states, "Do you recognize this charge." Of course I answered, "No..." So they graciously suspended my card. After calling to get my card reactive the charge remained on my account. I called them back to explain I was traveling and needed access to my funds and this large pending transaction was eating into my available credit.
I was told there was nothing they could do until the merchant processed it on their end, there was no supervisor available to talk to (or I was refused to be transferred), two separate reps insisted on arguing with me and there was no one to help me to come to a resolution of increasing my limit or releasing the funds. However, I could use their automated "system to request a credit line increase" - "IF" and only "IF" it was automatically approved would my limit be increased. If you opt to do business with Capital One - buyer beware. They do not have your best interest in mind. Only their GREED.

Capital One MasterCard recently replaced my Cabela’s Club Visa that I had for many years after Cabela’s was bought out by Bass Pro. The former Visa card had great customer service. Recently called to question some issues with the new Capital One account and ran up against a terrible automated phone triage system that ultimately patched me through to incompetent and indifferent human operators who could easily be replace by an AI system that would do a better job. First operator put me on indefinite hold. Called again and second operator hung up on me. Called a third time and used the automated system to cancel my card. Will never do business with them again. I had been with Cabela’s Club Visa for over 10 years without any problems. With Capital One I lasted less than 6 months.

In 2015 a fraudulent application for a credit card was submitted in my name to Capital One. With a Fraud Alert attached to my credit report, Capital One contacted me and inquired whether I, in fact, submitted the application. I had not and asked to not honor the request and to provide me with any info related to the application for law enforcement prosecution. In addition, would they also please provide the 3 credit bureaus with the necessary information and request their hard inquiry be removed from my credit reports. After TWO YEARS, countless phone calls to and numerous promises by Capital One customer service representatives to rectify the issue, nothing happened. 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. Go figure. There are many other credit card companies out there with exceptional customer service. I won't name any for fear I may be looked upon as biased toward any of them, but check online reviews and make your own assessment. This was my experience and I feel the company failed to take care of its customer. I still have their card, but hardly ever use it.

This morning I was on-line making a purchase and the charge was declined. About the same time I got a text from Capital One asking if I was attempting to make a purchase with the basic "Respond Yes" if you are. So I responded YES. 2nd text follows "Great. You're all set to go." Try the purchase again, still declined (and for the record, I'm nowhere near my spending limit). Called Capital One, explained what was going on, was told the purchase was flagged as: "Possible Fraud" (even though I confirmed and got the "Great. You're all set to go" message). Was then told they would need to speak with the primary cardholder (my husband). He called them and was told they would need a copy of his ID and sent a link to which this document could be uploaded.
SIX HOURS LATER we still can't upload the document. Called CO again and was told they're having "system issues." In the meantime they've suspended any charging on our account; and we were told it could take up to 72 hrs to resolve the "suspicious fraud" issue. Have been a customer for approximately 15 yrs. NEVER missed a payment. As a matter of fact, have paid the balance IN FULL EVERY SINGLE MONTH. We will be canceling our Capital One account and obtaining a card elsewhere.

One star is being generous at this point. If I could give negative stars, I would! We paid off our car loan at the end of December 2018. The title was mailed to us and I thought that was that... until we never received it. A couple of weeks went by and I called to see what the holdup was. I was told the title has been mailed and I should be receiving it any day now.
Fast forward 2 more weeks and nothing. I called back and they told me again that it was mailed, but this time I had them confirm the mailing address as well which is how we learned that they cut off the last number of our address, therefore sending it to the wrong place. I was told they would send a release of lien letter in the meantime, which took about another month and many more phone calls to receive. During all of this, our current tag registration expired so I had to pay to renew the old tag AND pay for a lost title fee when Capital One lost the title to begin with! When I called to complain about it or expressed interest in speaking with a manager, I was told that the customer service representative would be able to assist me and there was no one else I could speak with to resolve the matter. I will never be using Capital One for ANY business in the future and will tell my friends and family not to waste their time either.

Capital One has an excellent feature called "ENO" on its credit card that allows for codifying a credit card number in a way that keeps the actual number from being recorded on a company's records. But it doesn't work at many sites; maybe a quarter of the time. 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. Maybe a pop-up that explains that some sites don't allow for the encryption ENO uses.

Everything was perfect. Paying my bill on time, never incurred interest charges. Till I got scammed 2 mths ago. As the first reviewer said, they acted like it was all taken care off. I even called several times the day I got scammed, explained everything. The pending fraud charges turned green, I thought it was taken care of. 2 mths later they call wanting to hear what happened, also putting an added $450 to my monthly bill! That's the amount I got scammed for!!! Since then I've spoke to customer service at least 20 times, have been getting the runaround, excuses, and now it turns out I'm responsible since I got scammed, and it wasn't their definition for "fraud". 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.

This company Capital One has continually proven to be the worst customer service company I have ever experienced. I have dealt with them over many issues that clearly shows their goal has nothing to do with customer service, it has everything to do with their own benefit. I needed something simple today, password reset and it took over 47 minutes with 6 transfers. Started with on-line chat with Veronica who told me that this would require a phone call. Then from there I had to be transferred 6 times because the person didn't deal with that. It is companies like this that don't deserve customers at all.

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.

I decided to "cash in" my cash rewards as credit towards my balance. 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 immediately closed my 2 separate Capital One accounts. Their customer service was despicable even though it was entirely their mistake!

Navigating the mechanized prompts completely frustrating. When keying in answers to questions the system doesn't recognize. Finally got to a live body as transferred to Philippines. Representative spoke broken English and it sounded as if there was a party ongoing in the background. Asked for a supervisor and was put on hold for over 35 min with no update and then ultimately disconnected.

I am upset with the practice of residual interest billing when one calls and request full pay off balance payment one month and then gets billed hundreds of dollars the next. $234.87 I owed Capital One AFTER I was told pay off balance. I was quoted another payoff balance and everything was great until I asked if there was another balance next month. Yes, $38.00 and I had to laugh. How many times to pay off the account. It must be paid twice for two months straight. It appears to be a scam but really the lesson is DON'T USE CAPITAL ONE. They really are in your wallet.

I never thought that a Credit Card could be so bad and ancient! For two months, they have not been able to provide me access to my online account citing technical issues. I am not able to view transactions, make payments or redeem rewards online. I have to wait for my paper statements to view transactions and send a check for payments! They don't show my rewards on my statement again citing technical issues, so I don't know how many points I have earned or how can I redeem them. This is by far the worst credit card ever. I had a Checking Account also with them and closed it as the service was poor, but I thought I should give them a chance with the credit card. No, never again! I just want to get my bonus points and close this account for good. Even after escalating the issue and sending in a formal complaint, they don't take any action.

I set up autopay on the mobile app to pay my balance in full 14 days BEFORE my actual due date. I was going on vacation and wanted to settle it. An error occurred with the account info and it was returned. I called customer service 2 days later and was told the account was closed due to the returned check. I paid the account in full (because it was the only option I was given), keep in mind it is 7 days before the due date and currently waiting for a review to reopen the account. I have only had the card for a month. $300 credit limit with the $39 fee assessed and only being notified a few days before the statement notification and my account is closed because of an error that was cleared 7 days before the due date. Seems surreal to me right now. I was advised, this is detailed on the terms of agreement and subject to review. I’m not sad the account is closed, I’m sad I was trying to rebuild credit while trusting this company.

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.

I was called to the Capital One Customer Service Representative to ask if they have branches in Florida.

On September 2018 I was open my account. Capital One bank never sent my documents, never registered my signature, and tell me about the benefits of the account. Only send me a debit card without a checkbook. Later I requested a checkbook and I apply for to credit card with them.
On December 2018 my account is restricted from Capital One Customer Security Intake Center because they think someone has access to my account. I confirmed with nobody access to my account and what device I used it. They give access again, but on December 19, 2018, the same area restricted my account again. The Capital One employee: Sandy talk with me like a mother to child. She asked me the same issue and I explained. She started an interrogation technique like a Police Officer and request me ALL the names and phone numbers to the person who sends me a wire transfer to make a call conference and asked them. We are talking about five persons. She wants to call them and asked why they are sending a wire transfer to my account and they have a document with a purpose. I said: "Okay, no a problem."
I was called again the same area to give the information requested. A guy answer my call and don't remember the name, takes the same interrogation techniques like a Sandy and he reported my case with an Investigator because he suspect weird activities on my account, without proof and confirmed to call the people who send me a wire transfer. Right now, February 3rd, 2019 my case continue, the investigator never call me, one of the people who send a wire transfer request a refund the money back to her account. Capital One Customer Security Intake Center request to her bank send a Hold Harmless Letter to release the money and report. I was called her and her bank and they are refusing to make it.
The meaning of the hold harmless letter that Capital One requests. Basically it is an agreement that says that person has no right to sue another for loss or damage. This isn't sound good for her, her bank and for me. The investigator never calls me and continue restricted to the account and refuse to release the money back without a letter. I requested to talk to a supervisor. They are saying I need waiting for 10 to 15 business days call me. I requested a call conference with her and bank and they are saying: "We can't CALL conference," but Sandy she does it with me to call one person who sends me a wire transfer to ask.

I have been a loyal customer of Capital One for years, but my recent experience with their rewards program leaves me wanting to cut up the card and switch to another. 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. Customer-centric should be the way that representatives define service to drive business.

I used to be able to get around the limit by making a big manual payment (like $8000) to get "extra" credit space for large purchases. But not now! They seemed to have closed this "loophole". I tried this trick to buy new appliances and I should've had enough for $9000 worth of products. But what do they do? They CAPPED my credit to $6000!! WTF?? Now my "balance" is only $2700, but my "available credit" is $0.

Where to begin, where to begin... The Capital One Quicksilver Credit Card has a very high APR. Let’s say you decide to pay $35.00 on your balance — you’d be looking at about 21 percent in interest (which is $6.00). So realistically, you’re only reducing the balance amount on the card by $29.00. The interest is applied unless you pay off the card completely. And then there’s their membership fee which is $39.00 a year. Now you’d think a membership fee sounds a bit more attractive, right? Like it would come with some perks or discounts. Yeah, no: their member fee is just an annual fee. There’s nothing for you when using this card.
You’d (maybe) be able to build up $10.00 in cash rewards— if you’re lucky. But other than that; there’s not one redeeming quality about the Capital One Quicksilver card. Keep browsing for something better. There’s some companies who may actually reduce your interest charges or increase your credit line. Capital One did neither after I was injured in an accident and missed a couple of payments. Yes, their institution does not care about your well-being even if you offer to provide proof of your ailment(s)/inability to perform your normal daily routines. If you see an advertisement for it, run for the hills and don’t look back.

I called to ask how an interest charge was applied to a zero balance and was told that it takes two months of payments to be at zero with no interest charged because interest is a month behind. Customer service refused to waive my interest charge even though I am currently laid off and just paid my balance a week before Christmas. Crooks...all of them!

I paid off my card in full and 4 days later autopay debited my bank account $397.05. I have a negative balance with them and they said it will take up to 2 weeks to give me my money back. I did not owe them any money and they took it anyways. I called and asked for them to expedite it and the manager said there was nothing they could do. I will have to wait to get the money back. This is called theft when anyone else does it. Mistakes are part of life, but they were unwilling to do ANYTHING extra to fix this mistake. For someone else that could have been a car payment or utilities and could have caused them more problems. I will be canceling this card. No customer service at all.

I tried setting up a mobile payment on my Capital One app. At the time I was out of the country in Mexico. 3 separate times the payment came back as returned over the course of no more than 4 days. When I got back home to San Diego I called to take care of it - I was placed on hold for close to 45 minutes. I hung up because I had to go into a meeting. Called back in the very next day because when I checked my account both of the credit cards had been closed off due to the returned payments. I had NEVER missed a payment with them. I got absolutely no call or heads up that they were going to close my account. They closed both of my accounts even when the other one had no returned fees.
Now they are saying neither account can be re-opened. Keep in mind I never had a late payment, called in to make it right, wasn't given any warning, and they come back with this. It's ridiculous. This is going to adversely affect my credit when their app was the reason I wasn't able to get my payment scheduled properly. I DO NOT recommend this company to anyone. Unfair, unjust, unworthy. Don't open a credit line with them. I will be reporting their practices to the BBB as well as sharing this information with my network on every social media platform I have. Don't trust the cheerful TV commercials - it's all **. ** Capital One.

I'm now put on wait for over 1/2 hour to help resolve a very clear dispute. I had bought a Samsung phone and had returned it as it didn't work properly as it was meant to used in another country. The business took the phone back no problem. Meanwhile, weeks later I receive a letter from Capital One that they reversed the transaction as the vendor disputed what I said. I contacted the vendor and they said that was not the case and that they had received the phone back.
Capital One refused to reverse the transaction meaning I was out $800.00 and the case was closed. I got them copies of the return from the vendor including the receipt and signature of the person who accepted the return. Capital One just said, "Sorry case closed" and the vendor says they did not get the money. This is a big company, the vendor, and I know they are not lying to me so who's got my money and Cap One won't confirm when they reversed the charge as to where that money went. Have literally spend millions in charges over the years with them and will cancel the card as their service has gotten terrible over the last few years.

Don’t buy this card. I have had more payments bounce on this card just because they are unable to accommodate even a penny over the spending limit. My Chase card or Citibank or Bank of America card never does it. And I can usually talk to someone in Bank of America or Chase or Citibank and ask them to accommodate more expenses and they usually comply. Let’s say my limit is $15000 and my payment bounced due to me being at the limit. If I make a payment with my bank account, it takes 48 hrs to post and I have to wait 48 hrs to make the purchase.

Yes, the original error was mine -- I mistakenly paid the bill on my current card but used an out-of-date credit card number held by my now deceased husband. Called two weeks later to ask why the payment had not posted. We figured out the error. They said, "Wait 7-10 days -- it'll post within that time." It didn't. Called again. Spent 4 hours working on the problem -- calling them, calling my bank to get info they needed. Then in 1 massive 2-hour phone call, during which I kept getting put on hold, got transferred to at least 4 different folks who each talked to some other person while I was on hold, conference called with one agent to my bank, the end result was “Wait 7-10 business days and the payment will post." Tried to use the card today. It was declined — payment past due. Yeah, duh.

I had my card with Capital One for years. Never had a bad experience with them before now. I always pay my bill on time and one day they put a restriction on my card. I still don't know why. I called and waited 12 minutes before a rep came on the line. When I finally got someone they said they wanted to put me on a brief hold while they look at my account. Came back to the line and said, "I need more time to look at your account please hold." Waited 5 more minutes.
The lady came back on the line and said she needed to verify that I am the cardholder. She asked me to send a copy of my driver's license front and back, a copy of my social security card and proof of residency. This struck me as odd since I've had this card for years that they would be asking me to send them all this documentation years later. No one could answer any of my questions and just appeared to be incompetent. I wasted valuable time to get nothing accomplished. I'm definitely closing this account.

Having both of our chip Capital One credit card stolen in the past, hubby and I use the mobile alert system for any transactions over $5 (limit we set as previous $100 alert limit and $25 turned out didn't catch thieves). My hubby is the primary and I am the authorized user. We have been able to stop theft several times within seconds from mobile alerts since and made us feel secure. We both take pride in credit score over 800 so close monitoring is a must for us. It is horrible to have one main card and to have it stolen and wait for a card for days when you have daily things needing charging. We have been with Capital One for years and up until now would give them 5 stars.
Last week hubby and I switched cell phone carriers (kept same numbers) - we noticed we weren't getting the alerts anymore this past week since the change of carrier. I looked up the website from my mobile device and saw a message "confirm if changed numbers or carrier as number not attached for alert". I confirmed hubby's mobile number is correct. I couldn't see my number but googled Capital One website for mobile devices don't always show all and to use PC for full site.
Tonight we went online for full website and the "enhanced" website for the alert doesn't show where to put my mobile number. I called and spoke to a customer service rep and a technical department rep (neither rep said 2 mobile number ever allowed). I tried explaining for years we have had both our mobile phones get alerts for any transactions. By request, I was transferred to a supervisor and she said she can add back my mobile device at first, but then after brief hold was told by her their new "enhanced" website is only now allowing 1 mobile device.
I am so disappointed and shocked in today's mobile world they are only allowing 1 mobile number per account - why would they limit alerts (they allow 2 emails… but only 1 mobile)? She was trying to say emails just as good - While I don't mind email alerts also. I want my mobile number as well as hubby's. As we have different hours of able to monitor "alerts" (He's at work, I can watch... While I'm at school, he can watch alerts). I am sure most people like me get lots of emails a day (I get over a hundred) and want for certain alerts we set up to get text to us as those will stand out as they should.
The supervisor said I am not the first person that realized this "new enhancement" is more restrictive and she also felt this should be brought back. People won't know it's missing until they change carriers or theirs get dropped without notice. You would think a company would alert you if you will be removed from an alert instead of false security! I asked if she could mention this to complaint department and she said phone calls are recorded for issues but I would not be able to get a follow up on this issue or on my complaint. She said hopefully this will be brought back in early 2019 (not that it's in the making but she thought it would make sense).
I asked if she means weeks as I would want to change cards if going to be awhile. She said, "Well maybe not until next quarter (end of April )???" I said, "You can't have something fixed or changed other than 4x a year in a quarter?" She said it takes a lot of time to change things (and that's if they are working on it and she doesn't know if they are). So she was hoping it would be brought back without it being brought up to anyone? She just said there is nothing she can do. Wow.

I found Capital One online and submitted an application for a limit of $5000 to $7000. I intended on using it as an emergency travel card. After I applied through their webpage for the specified limit, it checked my credit (which is great) and processed my application and approved it. They then asked me to etransfer a $300 deposit for the card to be issued. I transferred the payment from my chequing account to their office directly (they provide the account number to you). I didn’t receive my card within the timeline they told me it would arrive. I called to inquire and discovered they only use one mail method and there was a strike so they couldn’t reissue a card with any other delivery method. So it was a very long time before it arrived.
They also told me they mail the card and the pin separately for security reasons, and both arrived the same day. So regardless of transit wait times, when I got the card to activate it I discovered they only have me a limit of the $300 deposit. I called immediately to find out why when I applied for a card with a $5000-$7000 limit they gave me one for my deposit value. They could not give me an answer. They offered to cancel it (again) as a way to “resolve my issue”. I said “I’m now over a month of time lost and calling for answers and no one recognized the wrong card issued along the way after lengthy discussions about how I applied, when I applied and all the dollar values involved“. Again all they wanted to do for me was cancel the card.
Recognizing this company is very disorganized and just repeats policies that only protect them not the client they had no way to provide me a card for the value I originally applied for even with my deposit. They tried to say it was likely because I have credit issues so they’d not approve the card value I applied for and rather would issue a card for deposit amount instead. I said “that doesn’t make any sense. They did a credit check and confirmed it was approved before I ever issued my deposit amount. Why at that time would they either not reject my application or at very least inform me of my credit status and provided me an option of a card with cash deposit value?” Again no answers or logical rationalization of what happened, just, “We can cancel your card for you.”
So being frustrated I said, “Yes, let’s cancel this card because it serves no purpose at $300 and I have perfect credit so I have other options for another card to use for its original intention.” So then they said, “Well we’ve gone ahead and processed your request to cancel the card, now you have to call back in 10 days to request we issue your deposit back via cheque.” I’m like, "I provided payment through an etransfer why can’t you refund the same way?" “Sorry it’s our policy.” I said, “Well what happened if I don’t call back in 10 days.” They said, “We will send it back within two biweekly payment periods” (so in a month or longer time). I was frustrated by called back in 10 days. They then told me it had to be 10 business days.
Then after the 10 business days they said, “Oh well there are holidays to consider here and the banks don’t do banking in these additional days so you have to call back on another date.” They basically took another 23 days to take my call to issue a deposit back. Then they informed me I had to wait another 10 business days for the processing of the cheque request for deposit and mailing time. And I could only call to confirm once I received an official letter in the mail confirming all these cancellations (keep in mind they are still using the mail system that’s on strike so I had an additional wait to get the letter).
From start to finish, applying for a card that I never actually used or even activated to the point where they gave me a cheque back for my original deposit was 62 days. Over 2 months to cancel a card and return my deposit and never actually addressed any of the questions I asked as to why or how this could have happened. I had to call them at least 6 times to have it all processed and I was put on hold regularly so the average call took about an hour to two hours to try and get anything done.
I highly recommend never using this company for anything as they stand up for each other but don’t actually have customer service that acknowledges they’ve done anything wrong or inconvenienced anyone. Just hide behind fine print to rationalize it all. The 1-800 number are people in the US and the transfer to a supervisor was in New Brunswick so how they handle call volumes is also beyond frustrating as well. I’m just thankful I didn’t get into business with them as I can only imagine what happens to people using their cards or if they ever had a problem with the cards. Best they can do is cancel them apparently. And I applied for another card with another company and received it for the $7000 value right away. So I feel like they are just a huge scam. Save your time and money and just go somewhere else.

It is now December 10th and I still know nothing. The sender recently sent me the receipt and proof that he walked into the bank and made the wire transfer. I don't understand why Capital One 360 banking and their so-called security goon squad of Crooks are holding my money hostage. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever experienced in my life. Do not bank with Capital One ever ever ever ever. It is the worst bank in history.

"I am sorry." That is all I got from the customer service after being on hold for 2 hours. I did a balance transfer a year ago. When I made the last payment, I closed the account. The system confirmed the account was closed. Then two months later I got a bill for almost $100 with two passed dues and some interest charges. I called and complained and all I got was "I am sorry." I will never do business with this bank again.

I didn't even want to give 1 star to them. I have good credit score and never missed my payments. But on an unfortunate day, I applied for Capital One, they accepted my application, under review on SSN verification, I get my card, I gave them permission through form they provided for SSN verification and it's been a month and I still can't use my card. Reason they have a special team which created the case against me, I don't even know for what, no fraud can happen, coz I gave them papers they need, been in touch since then, and mind you, I am calling them not them.
I provided each and everything they asked for, but surprise surprise, their special teams is not able to verify my SSN, that's what I believe, now I just don't know. They are not rejecting me and their special team is now what I believe is good for nothing. I can't cancel the account fearing they can mess up my score. I know people needs time to do their work but I also know the regulation and their timeline. So now I just wanted to know if I can sue them for harassment. If they touch my score or created any problems for me because for their incompetency or their special team incompetency, I want to sue them. Just don't know how yet.

I am so fed up with Capital One. This is why. So my husband has bad credit and a low score and was approved for a platinum card. He doesn't even work. So guess who pays the card. I do. He then applied 6 months later gets approved for the Quicksilver card. Again who pays it. I do. I have an Experian credit score of 635. Applied for Capital One and I get denied. But guess who has the car loan with them for over a year and no missed payments. Again, I do. I am so pissed. However, it's funny how this card pops up on all my credit apps with good approval odds. Such liars.

I have two complaints: (1) Deceptive advertising (2) Capital One is refusing to let me know what my balance is and debiting from a checking account I do not authorize. 1. Capital One conducts periodic account reviews. November, 2018, is my twenty fourth month of on-time payments. As a result, Capital One increased my credit limit automatically; I did not ask for a limit increase. However, Capital One informed my card is restricted and it cannot be used until all of my authorized users mail a copy of their driver’s license and social security card. I currently don’t have any authorized users and believe this is cumbersome because I use to have 7 authorized users a few months ago (I requested to have my authorized users removed in August 2018).
The representative said I still need to have my authorized users verify their identity because they want to make sure they consented because it affects their credit. The agent further said it’s mentioned in my card holders’ terms and condition. However, Capital One’s website promotes the use of authorized users and has an entire page dedicated to the promotion.
Their websites states: "Together, you can maximize your card’s benefits. What is an authorized user? An authorized user is someone you add to your account without any additional application or credit check. They'll get a card with their name on it and share your line of credit. As the primary cardholder, you'll still be responsible for all charges and, if you have a rewards card, you'll earn on every dollar they spend. Ready to add someone to your account? It only takes about a minute: Tell us their name, phone number, Social Security number, and date of birth. Double check the info is correct. That’s it! We’ll send you a card for them to start using right away."
Also, I read the totality of their online “terms and conditions”, “additional disclosures”, and Patriot Act Certification.” The word “authorized user” is not mentioned in all three online disclosures (press Ctrl+F to search by keyword). I believe this is deceptive advertising. Under the Federal Trade Commission Act:· Advertising must be truthful and non-deceptive;
· Advertising must have evidence to back up their claims; and
· Advertising cannot be unfair.
According to the FTC’s Deception Policy Statement, an ad is deceptive if it contains a statement- or omits information - that:· Is likely to mislead consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances; and
· Is “material”- that is, important to a consumer’s decision to buy or use the product.
Capital One’s website is misleading because they omit information that is vital and relevant to authorized users. I was lead to believe adding authorized users only takes a minute and is easy as 1, 2, 3 as their website promises. And this was the case at first, until now, I need to have 7 of my previous authorized users photocopy and mail their driver’s license and social security card to a company they don't conduct business with and do not feel comfortable sending in copies of their personally identifying information in an era of the Equifax, Yahoo, and Anthem Blue Cross breaches and fraudulent activity conducted by Wells Fargo employees (opening accounts in customer’s names without their consent or knowledge.) If Capital One placed a disclosure on their website or on their online terms and conditions then this would be fair, however, this was never informed to me until after the fact.
Second complaint:2. I called Capital One on innumerable occasions, and they are refusing to tell me my current balance. It is relevant to know my account balance in order to make a proper payment. Capital One is also refusing to confirm payments I recently made. I need to know what payments posted in order to know my new balance. I want to make my payment in full but I am not able to do so because they are refusing to let me know my balance. Also, a manager named Terrel, gave me an erroneous balance (on 12/7/2018). He told me my balance was $475 which is not possible. My balance was around $500 the month before, however, I made two payments for the month of November; first payment for $35 and second payment in the amount $100. I have not made any new purchases and do not have any recurring charges with any merchants.
It is improper for a financial institution to refuse to let the consumer know their account balance. I have a right to know in order to make payment. I called Capital One on 12/8/2018. I informed the manager I became aware Capital One debited my Wells Fargo checking account on my due date (11/27/2018) for $35. However, I already made a payment for my November billing cycle for $135. My minimum due is $25. There's no reason to debit my checking account when I made two manual payments over the phone using my U.S. Bank account. I told the manager I no longer consent to any autonomic bill payments from my Wells Fargo account. The manager egregiously said he cannot do anything about that. This is clearly illegal. Please be advised, I had this account for two years and never had a late payment or missed payment. I am considering filing suit.

I called to find out where my bill was and was informed of the paperless switch. I submitted a dispute for late payment due to billing mishap, but I keep getting several different responses from different reps. Customer service and caring about their customers is horrible.

I should of read the reviews for this company before setting an account with them. Earlier this year, I signed up for the Secured Credit Card in hopes to restore my credit. The first issue I had with them, was when I submitted my first payment. I submitted a full a payment to pay off the balance, since I was leaving for vacation. The day before traveling, I noticed that my credit card was "restricted." I called customer service, and after being transferred to numerous representatives, I come to find out that they restricted my card because they were having trouble "confirming" my payment. As I am on the phone with the representative, I sent copies of my bank statement showing the payment was deducted from my banking account. After going back and forth, they eventually released the restriction and I was able to use the credit card during my vacation.
Today, I noticed again, that my card was restricted. I called customer service and they tell me, without notification, that my account was closed as of yesterday. Apparently, the scheduled payment was not successful. Come to find out, that the day the payment was supposed to be posted, was the same day my direct deposit submitted in my bank account, however, timing was the issue here. The payment was attempted before the funds were available. I noticed this a few days later when I received an email notification, and I immediately submitted a payment to pay off the balance on the credit card.
I asked why I wasn't notified that they were closing out the account and they said they were sending a letter. I expressed that I would like my account reopened and they said there is nothing they can do, and that the account is closed permanently. This is unfortunate, and now I have this impacting my credit score negatively, when my goal was to rebuild my credit. Beware that this company has one of the worst customer services and they have no consideration for their customers.

Love my bank and have many good experiences at their brick and mortar branch but the bank now has a new website platform that even after a month is riddled with issues. About 80 percent of the time, the website is not functioning. Trying to reconcile is impossible because the accounts are either not up to date with postings, or you just cannot log in and then the website says, "oops hit a snag" and "working on it." As much as I love the bank, I am going to have to move to another bank which in itself is a pain since it involves several linked business accounts. After ten years with this bank, it's time to say goodbye, old friend.

I applied for a SaksFirst card and was approved on the spot. I took a week of looking around and finally made my first purchase of $424 on Christmas gifts and awaited my physical card before I was going to do any more shopping. I got my order from them and wanted to pay the order off of my card, so when I got the physical card I attempted to sign up for online access. I was given the message that my account was locked for security reasons and that I needed to call to have it unlocked. I called every day for a week and no one could explain to me what was going on. Finally after a week of calls an agent gave me the number to Capital One because she stated my account was under fraud investigation.
I called Capital One thinking that I probably had to verify my identity in order to get this unlocked and sat on hold for over an hour. When I spoke to the rep she told me that it was in the fraud department and that it would be taken care of within 72 hours that if I did not have a call by then to call them back. Three days later I called Capital One back as no one had ever contacted me and spoke to another person in the security department who informed me that my account was closed for fraudulent reasons and that I would have to reapply if I wanted to have the card again. I explained that I had already made a $424 purchase and wanted to know how in the world I was going to pay for it if I was not allowed online access to pay the payment.
I was then informed that because it was due to fraud that I would not be responsible for the balance and that they were canceling the service in contract with me so that there was no debt owed. I’ve validated that it was me who open the card. I have not even made one payment nor was it a payment even due for a month and now on my account history it shows I’ve never ordered from there before. I’ll be keeping a close eye out on my credit report to make sure all the stuff doesn’t come back to bite me in the butt. To add insult to injury when I did go back to reapply because I do want the card or did, I was denied and told it was because of security reasons.

Huge mistake, they closed/restricted my account without warning. I have spent hours on the Phone and the reason they gave me was because one of my employees who was added as a signer is not a US Citizen.

Capital One is a horrible company to work with! I've paid off my car with them and had two (2) credit cards open with them that I paid off. They closed both of my credit cards without notification after the fact that I paid them. The first rep I spoke with said due to fraud. Then I was transferred to Jeff who then transferred me to Sheia. I was then advised the cards were closed due to the return of payment. I advised I had called in the day I was aware of the return because I had paid/Set up payment online. I enter the checking acct number wrong which caused the return of payment. I was not made aware if I paid my cards off in full they would close the accts even if made aware of a human error.
Sheia advised I reapply for a credit card. I told her, "I just lost two cards with you, why would I reapply for one card vs getting my two back." She DID not have anything helpful or useful to say. Now I will have a negative impact on my credit due to two accts being closed and having to reapply for a credit card. Not to mention even though my car that was financed with capital one has been paid off a month now but still shows as an open acct. They are soo quick to close stuff when clearly this closer was done in human error but slow to close the acct that DID not have human error.

We have been in business for 54 years. If they no longer want to business with my company because we are a financial company, does that mean they are canceling all their employee credit cards that they may have because their employer is a financial company?
I called over the phone to find out what the actual reason was that they canceled my card, and they wouldn't tell me. So I wrote a nice letter asking them why, and I did receive a response letter.

We entered his routing as well as account number as listed by his bank. A few days later the payment was “returned.” We tried, once more to submit payment. Again, a few days later the payment was “returned”. Reason for returning was stated as “Incorrect Account Number”. This could not be as this information was gotten directly from his bank account mobile page.
I then made a call to Capital One customer service and was told by the representative that the account number was not valid. The only other number listed on his bank account webpage was the “Flash ID” for the NetSpend card that was issued to him by his bank as their debit card. I provided the representative with this information and she verified that it was the correct “account” number. Once that was verified payment was again submitted. And again, a few days later the payment was returned.
I decided to attempt to pay via my mobile app using my own checking account information. A few days after submitting the payment my account showed as “Restricted”. I again, called Captial One customer service to find out why my account was restricted. I was told that due to the multiple “returned payments” that my account had been flagged and that I would need to submit a bank statement from my bank as well as my partner’s bank.

It was not funds items were selected by me before check out. When I called the customer service line the rep (Bree I believe she said) told me that any merchant can code a purchase as a cash advance. I’m pretty sure that’s not true (actually I’m 100% sure that’s not true). When I asked how to know an item was coded as cash she said there was no way to know in advance.
I was put on hold but never got to a supervisor, after quite a bit of laughter from the csr I gave up and told her to put a note on my account that I would be canceling as I cannot use a card that randomly charges for cash advances that are actually purchases. I paid off the balance immediately and froze the card, the nonchalance and condescension of the rep left me little hope to get this corrected.

Recently I had the experience of having two separate transactions declined by Capital One. In both cases the merchant was Amazon. Rather than repeat what happened, here is the email complaint I lodge directly with them: "FOUR TIMES I have had my credit card charge (card ending in **-1266) declined when making a purchase at Amazon.com. FOUR TIMES I have contacted you demanding to speak with a supervisor. Four times that supervisor has told me that my account showed no decline. Obviously there was, and FOUR TIMES I have asked to have your IS people look into your computer system as there is obviously a flaw. I have a credit limit of "five figures" always pay on time. Your supervisors have refused to do this, insisting that there is no problem.
IN WRITING, I AM ASKING YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS! I don't want to have to leave a relationship that goes back for many years (sometimes through some hard times for me). Please advise as to what you are going to do. If nothing, you leave me no choice other than to find an alternative card. To that extent I have already applied for and been approved by Bank of America for their card. I am going to apply To Fifth Third Bank (for whom I directed their BankAmericard introduction in 1970… the third introduction of this card behind Bank of America, and a Columbus, Ohio, bank.
Please, don't force me to switch. You know me, you have my history, it is far better than having to start over with someone new." TO DATE I HAVE RECEIVED NO REPLY. I GUESS THAT AS A BANK THEY ARE PERFECT AND CANNOT ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR OWN HUMAN FLAWS! I'm sure this has happened to others so look hard at other possible credit cards so you can be sure of what you have in your wallet!

Background: Rec'd a credit card (0%) 20 yrs ago from this same company. Within weeks, there were so many issues with the company. I sent back the chopped card and said we're never dealing with them again. But... We sold and bought a house this year. 1) The 1st mortgage company had a finance guy who kept erring (and we dropped them even though we used them for yrs on our last house) and in that process, we kept asking him to not make hard inquiries until we were ready to buy a house. That's not what happened. We went with a different mortgage company. Our scores dropped a couple pts. 2) We got a card (for points only) to buy a couch. We paid off the loan as soon as we got it and turned in the credit card.
Capital One shows a credit score that remains excellent - it was on the denial for a low loan (we could pay it from our bank acct.). 1. We told the dealership to just put the loan in my name because of this. They didn't listen. If they had been able to pull my partner's, despite my higher earnings, her excellent scores are better than my excellent (never makes sense :) ). 2. Capital One lied and said they couldn't contact us. They had MY INFO. Nothing was frozen. They opted not to. 3. I always know what we have and what we owe - the income to debt ratio and Capital One has it wrong.
Just a lesson for y'all besides don't ever ever ever use Capital One - before buying a car, look at the frauds car dealerships attempt to pull. I knew of some but this one - letting someone drive off a lot without financing going through - lets the dealership repo your car (usually happens with folks with bad scores). Get a loan outside 1st or don't drive off the lot with a car (new or used) until you get it in writing your loan is secure. Search for articles about this for all info.

I was very satisfied with Capital One for years until my card expired. They supposedly sent me a new one that I never received so I had to spend forever on the phone requesting a new one that was supposed to arrive within days, which never did. They changed the number on the card in case of fraud which interrupted all of my autopayments and since I didn't receive a new card I had to move everything onto a different credit card. I had to completely change my payments and work around different credit limits and missed loads of payments due to the interruption which still has not been resolved 3 months later. My credit score has dropped and I am stressed and frustrated because my finances are all mixed up. I'm SO disappointed with the way Capital One is set up, making it difficult for customers to speak with humans and get problems solved.

I believe you should always show and share your appreciation for kindness. So I need to share my experience with my Capital One credit card. Please take the time to read this, I would greatly appreciate my story being heard. With that being said I called to make my payment via phone November 1st... I was confused to hear the automated balance was $700 dollars less than my statement balance. I quickly pressed 0 for customer service. Long story short I insisted to escalate the call as to the fact I thought it was an error. It was brought to my attention that my active duty husband enrolled us in SCRA (Servicemembers Civil Relief Act). It’s a program that lowers interest rates to %4, not late fees or membership fees and no finance charges for the duration of his deployment.
I’m sure others (like me) are unaware that Capital One offers this service. $700 might not be a lot to some but it meant the world to me and my husband...Especially with upcoming holidays. Everyone seems to recognize the military only on Veterans Day and Memorial Day. It’s always been a shame being a military. We are ‘really’ honored two days a year. I felt it very necessary to thank management and waited on hold to do so. I spoke with Tyler a military specialist in the SCAR department and he listened to my story. He then thanked my family for our service and also thanked me for being so genuinely and taking the time to say thank you. I will admit I was shocked Tyler had so much empathy for me.
After hanging up I didn’t think experience with Capital One could get any better until today... I received a huge bouquet from 1-800-flowers with the message inside that read... “It was a joy speaking with you. Your positive attitude changed my day, I hope these brightens your day, just like you did for me! Wish you nothing but the best. Daja and Capital One”. I have never felt more important... My hope for sharing this is for all credit cardholders to feel as special and appreciated as I do from a Company/corporation and employees as I do. I don’t feel like a ‘number’ and I know I will be heard in the future when I have questions or concerns. Thank you for taking care of us little people and making us feel important and valued. Not all companies take care of the military. For those of you unaware Capital One does! Forever Grateful.

Capital One ended the additional protection I had, did not notify me, and sure enough, my account was compromised. My address on file was changed, and a replacement card was sent out to this new/fake address.
Capital One had no explanation for why my additional security was removed, and simply offered to change my account number and send me a new card. They had no answer as to how this actually proactively secured my account versus just reacting to whenever someone may try this again. Their only additional security was to "lock" and "unlock" my card via their website every time I wanted to use my card. At this point, my account is closed, as Capital One does not provide a credit card with adequate security with viable usability.

My 23 y.o daughter who already has credit score around 700 (due to paid off student loan and keeping a checking account since 15), full time job, and an account with Capital One for small car loan, has applied on-line for their credit card in response to offer sent directly to her name. Her on-line application was immediately approved but then their fraud department called and informed that they put a block on this newly issued card because my daughter's address on the card application was different from the one they found by doing hard check on her credit report. They requested proof of residence, copy of identification, and SS card to be sent to them over internet, supposedly safe URL, but who can guarantee safe transition was not their concern.
Indeed, my daughter just graduated from PT school, started new job and moved to a new apartment. So, what? People move all the time. To prove her new address, she offered to provide copies of her state ID, employment information, apartment lease, and utility bill. Capital One said lease and paycheck are not a proof, only utility bill AND bank statement. She sent utility bill, Capital One called the utility company to verify if she was a customer. Understandably, due to security reasons, utility company refused to give out customer info over the phone because anyone could present themselves as bank and ask for her address, right?
Next, my daughter and I share bank account where her earnings are deposited by via payroll. However, our bank shows only one address on monthly statements, the primary account holder address (that is me). Our local bank branch went above and beyond their duties and provided official letter with letterhead and signatures that my daughter is their customer, included her account number and bank routing number. This was uploaded to Capital One as requested. However, fraud department called again saying that letter is not sufficient, they only accept monthly statement with transactions.
The fact that she has already has a loan account with Capital One registered on her new address and makes payments on schedule was not an argument for fraud department. So, regardless of your credit history, if you recently moved and have no records of your new address in your credit report, there is no way to obtain credit card from Capital One because they do not accept any reasonable document as proof of residence.

When a customer trying so hard to make their payment on time they should appreciate them and try their best to help! Not charging them late fee for a stupid issue. When you set up an automatic payment, you are assuming that your payment will go through on time so you don't need to worry about getting charge for late fee.
BUT then, if they change their minimum payment amount on you and you are only $1-2 different on the payment, they will charge you $27 late fee! Even when you tried to call them at 8.30 pm EST, they won't give your money back regardless. No excuse whatsoever! They'll just going to steal that money from you. So 1. I did set up auto payment, 2.

This the second time I have been rejected by Capital One for a prescreened credit card offer. The offer gives the applicant A $150.00 bonus if $500.00 is spent in the first 90 days. So I wasted my time filling out the application only to be rejected. To be clear I do not believe this was a good faith offer to begin with. I was asked if I was interested in or planned to transfer any Credit Card balances among other questions.
Make your own judgment based on my experience with other banks I have got offers from. My FICO credit score hovers between 790 and 810, so say 800. In the last two years I cannot even remember how many such offers I have received and taken advantage of. But I know for sure that I got offers from and took advantage of offers from Barclay's, Bank of America, TD Bank, First Third Bank and Chase. And I just took advantage of an offer I found on my own from Barclay's so that's two offers from I have used Barclay's and Bank of America.
It's a numbers game for them. Even though they pay out bonuses, in the long run they come out ahead collecting fees and interest payments. So when the banks I name above make such offers they are legitimate because you are accepted or rejected based on your credit score and the current relationship you have, if any, with the bank. They don't concern themselves with whether they come out ahead on any one account holder. To sum you if you get a prescreened Credit Card offer from Capital One and your credit is good and you don't carry credit card debt, don't waste your time applying. And remember this how they do business when they are pitching you a card. Can you imagine what it's like for their customers?

I had a Capital One credit card, made my payments on time every month. One month, due to an emergency, I missed making my usual payment via a check in the mail, so I called Capital One and made a check-by-phone payment so it wouldn't be late. I was doing very well in making on time payments and didn't want to ruin my credit rating.
NEVER again will I make a payment via check-by-phone to this or any other company because as soon as I made my payment over the phone, the person who took my information over the phone went ahead and made ANOTHER payment, only not for the normal monthly payment due. He made a payment for the BALANCE due and drained my checking account which made all other checks written previously to bounce. This incurred horrendous problems for me and ruined my credit score. My bank account (at the time Washington Mutual) was frozen by the bank due to the nature of the FORGERY, which meant no money in, no money out - I wasn't able to receive my monthly direct deposits for three months - and had no way to resolve this matter.
Capital One never sent an apology letter, they were never prosecuted for forgery (Can you imagine what would have happened to US if WE had done something like that?) and continued to bill me for a small amount - under $30 - which I stupidly refused to pay at the time. I couldn't believe they would do this to a disabled person. Had it not been for my family, my rent would have been late for over three months and I would have been evicted from my home. Funny thing is, when I applied for a Capital One credit card recently - just to see what they would say, they wouldn't approve me - said it was because my application appeared "suspicious or FRAUDULENT!" UNBELIEVABLE!!!

A closeout check was sent to me on 3/22, received on 3/26 in the amount of 4,277.92. Someone at Capital One chose to stop payment on it prematurely rather than wait for it be received on my end. I deposited check on 3/26 to my Suntrust account, obviously not knowing the check was no good...I left for vacation the following day on 3/27, was picked up around 8:45 AM and left for Las Vegas until April 3rd. A second check was sent via UPS next day air and delivered on 3/27, intercepted and fraudulently cashed by someone else.
Obviously it was not me, I was not at home but Capital One and a rep in particular, a Jessica **, does not seem to fathom this and insist the person who cashed check is related and lives at my address. For argument sake and figuratively speaking, even if the person is related does not mean the funds were stolen from me as they in fact were. The person signed my name and deposited the check to their own account... duh? Currently, I am in a war of complaints against Capital One with the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau), this has been going on since Late March/early April. Jessica ** refers to circumstantial info, none of which proves I received check and or funds, I've lost count of the complaints back and forth and am currently awaiting their reply to my most recent one.
I am very curious to see what bogus info she comes up with this time around, I just sent a certified letter to their corporate office in Mclean, VA detailing my experience and a formal complaint against Jessica **. This person is very asinine/ignorant and has stated she wont keep replying to complaints with CFPB when she in fact has to, you cant simply ignore a complaint from a government agency... I am hoping someone will read my letter, step in, resolve this by getting me another check.

I have had my Capital One card for about a decade now. I use it for online purchases, out of town purchases to try to prevent fraud. Never missed a payment, never paid late. Always paid a minimum of triple the monthly payment. 3 years ago my dad was dying (and passed away 3 weeks later). I asked them for an increase to fly to see him as I need a last minute ticket. They denied me, and didn't care. I used my bank card (my own money) and went to see my dad. I am to this day ticked about the insensitivity about that. I was so mad I paid the card off, but kept it. I should of closed it. Over the last 3 years I ran it back up slowly to about $4k. So over the last 6 months I once again paid it down to now owing $850. I made payments of over $3k during that time. I am moving across the country, and don't trust my bank account card with movers which is again, the only reason I keep my one and only credit card.
Once again, I asked these jerks for a credit increase, once again I was denied. There is nothing in my history to justify their denial. A 760+ credit score. On time payments triple of what is asked on a bad months, thousands paid others months. I actually paid the card off once, and almost did again recently. I make six figures, and yet they refuse to help when I ask them. I WILL NEVER USE this card again once I move. I will pay the card off, and then close it like I should of done 3 years ago. These people are scum. They don't care if you make good money, pay on time, pay thousands a month on your bill. They will not help you if you need it.

Straight to the point: My payment is missing. I mailed my payment off on October 4th. It isn't due until October 16th, but I wanted to get it out earlier so it would be on time. On Saturday, October 6th, I checked my balance but the payment had not posted. I called customer service and spoke with customer service rep who assured me that they had my payment. In fact, he said, it was on his desk as we were speaking. I checked again on Monday, the 8th, but the payment still had not posted. Again, I called customer service but was told to contact Western Union to see if the money order had been cashed. That was offensive because it seemed as if she was implying some misappropriation on my part. I mean, I'm trying to rebuild my credit and she's implying that, maybe, I didn't send it in but was trying to pull one over.
My wife and I mailed our payments out the same day. I went paperless and do not have an account that I can set up for auto drafts, so we mailed our payments in her Capital One envelope. We were told that her payment posted on the 6th but my payment was nowhere to be found. She then gave me the address to contact their Payment Investigation Department and told me to send a copy of the money order. I don't think it'll do much good. But I'm now out $140. AND my credit will take a hit. However, she assured me that a thorough investigation will be conducted. In the meantime, my payment will be late, if it's even found at all.
Afterwards, I was told that a machine opens the envelopes, removes the checks or the money orders, places the payments into another machine, then posts the payments (no lie, people, that's actually what I was told). But then the rep says that my payment was likely shredded by the machine. So I spoke with a supervisor, who assured me that "a thorough investigation into the matter would be conducted." In the meantime, she would place a "provisional credit" to my account. However, if the Payment Investigation Department decides to do nothing, or determines that it is MY fault (one of which is likely to happen) then the credit comes off and I'm out $140. My wife can keep her card, but after I pay off my balance, Capital One won't be in my wallet. And neither will the $140 I lost.

The person who answered the phone asked me about my experience and I gave them the details. Afterwards they asked me if they could help me with the original question I called in about.
The representative provided me the CORRECT information about my interest rate, and confirmed my belief that the first agent, Sammy, was completely WRONG. Sammy was not even close to providing the correct information. Sammy told me I needed to pay off my entire balance for two consecutive months BEFORE I would not be charged the "cash advance interest rate" monthly. This immediately made no sense to me because the cash advance interest rate I pay is a smaller portion of my entire balance.

Capital One credit cards state that they have fraud protection. What this means is that they decline every charge from an unknown vendor and freeze the customer's card.

DO NOT open an account for any other reason than to improve your credit score by having another open account. Also, DO NOT expect them to approve a credit line increase. I’ve requested increases several times to raise my total credit limit and reduce my utilization rate. They always give a BS reason for denying the request. The last time I requested an increase, I had just got a large salary increase, I had about a 5.7% utilization rate on my Capital One account and about 28% total utilization rate across all accounts.
They said my request was denied because the usage of my existing credit line was too high. This has happened at least 5 time and none of my requests were ever approved. I’ve had this card for 10 years and the only increase I’ve received, (from the ridiculous initial $300 limit), was automatically done by Capital One, only a year or so ago. Save yourself the frustration and apply for another card to avoid dealing with Capital One altogether.

Everybody needs to read the Credit Card Act of 2009 which I just discovered. I am primary and I have two authorized users on my account. I contacted Capital One because on my Experian credit report they reported the wrong amount. It was $235 more. I told customer service that on my other reports and authorized users that everything was correct. They tell me I can dispute it with them. I did and what a mistake that was. They changed all credit bureau reports to the $235 more.
I spoke with them and it was explained to me by a customer service rep and an account specialist (If it actually was an account specialist) and was told that is what they do. I spoke to a supposed Supervisor and he said, "No. We don't do that." Well they did it. I wrote a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and I have made two more after that to protect myself.
They did not report what they said they were going to report to the credit bureaus and they changed my first reported dates during the process increasing the years from the original date. Had to dispute with two credit bureaus and am waiting on a report from another bureau because they can't see date first reported. What a mess. I would like to say that I called before all this happened and explained to a customer service rep that one of my authorized users applied for credit and couldn't get a credit score from Equifax. His response is, "It is not our fault if the credit bureau doesn't report the information we provide them." Well Capital One did not provide enough information. The credit bureaus are regulated the FTC and they have to report everything provided to them.
Then I find out that Capital One never reported my authorized user to Experian. In one Consumer Financial Protection Bureau complaint I ask them to report my authorized user to Experian and upload his Experian credit report to show they never reported them. I also ask that they make sure all information is updated on my other authorized user. Come to find out my other authorized user can't get an Equifax report which tells me that Capital One has either not reported him to Equifax or has not given enough personal information.

I believe they have me flagged now. I'm just waiting for them to close my account. I also decided after discovering it existed and reading the Credit Report Act of 2009, that took effect February 22, 2010, I would download all my statements that are left on the Website.
I found a discrepancy where my interest rate was raised 7% from a variable rate after the Credit Card Act went into effect. Didn't notice the increase until after I moved to another home and I specifically remember talking to a Capital One customer service rep and he could not tell me why my interest rate went up. So while the prime rate goes up so does my variable rate interest plus that extra 7% interest. According to the Credit Card Act, after February 22, 2010, if you are at a variable rate they can only increase your interest rate when the prime rate changes. There's a really big issue here for me because the prime rate at the time never increased. This may be a legal issue.
I started reading about credit cards last year and about how you can try to get interest rates reduced. I didn't even know you could do that. So with Capital One I did it last year for first time and they would only reduce rate for 6 months. Said they would not lower my interest rate. Sorry for the book, but I have found that dealing with Capital One is a nightmare from customer service, account specialists, and supervisors. You can't get a straight answer from anybody. I would like to add that it's not the overseas customer service reps it's the American customer service reps and American Account Specialists and Supervisors.
I always wonder when I call and they say they're transferring you to somebody if it is actually the department you want or if it's just another customer service rep. Beware when you ask a customer service rep a question and they put you on hold. That means they don't know the answer and they're asking another customer service rep.

8 weeks ago both mine and my spouse's checking accounts were hacked into. Via fraudulent phone call pretending to be Capital One fraud department. However, I did not give the scammer any account info. As a result, over $1,000 was stolen from my Capital One checking account. After a week or so Capital One informed me that the money will be refunded. I asked them to close my account due to the fraud as well as the fact that I moved to an area where they do not have branches. Immediately after the fraud occurred I updated my account with my new mailing address.
After a week waiting for the refund check, I contacted the bank - I was informed by Capital One representative that the check was mailed to my old address. The rep stated that she will stop the check and issue me a new one which will be mailed to my new address. Another week wait - calling the bank again inquiring where is my check. Speaking to a supervisor at this point I was told that no-one can stop my check without an affidavit which I have to sign and mail back. So you have incompetent or poorly trained reps who gave me completely wrong info. Bank rep said - "We can do the affidavit over the phone Capital One rep will call you within 24 hours. 48 business hours..." no call.

Not one of the 5 agents there could tell me why except it was a 'business' decision... aka "You pay in full every month so we don't make money off you so screw you." The Mastercard sent 9 days ago is still not here and as soon as it gets here I'll cut it up and cancel my account. I've applied for a Visa from another company, not as many rewards... I so loved my Capital One Visa!! BUT, if I'd wanted a Mastercard I would have applied for one. I spend a lot at Costco and they don't accept Mastercard.
