I've been with Capital One way before their name change. They were ING. They treated consumers much better. I fell behind in my credit card payments due to financial hardship but determined to get back on board with payments, I did. I received a letter from the bank that I was eligible for a reinstatement for 3 consecutive payments never once informed of procedure fully was late a payment in April and in September was told the offer couldn't be granted and no information if ever the opportunity. So I'm just paying this card off without positive notifications on my credit report. CAN'T WAIT TO TO PAY IT OFF. WILL NOT RECOMMEND IT AND CLOSING CHECKING OUT AS WELL.

Had a Union Plus credit card for 15 years, never missed a payment. Capital One took over and I stopped receiving statements via mail and email. I complained but they said they are sending email and Yahoo accepting. I looked through all my mail and found nothing. This company is disgusting. I was on the phone with the representatives and requested a manager, the rep was far better spoken than the manager. They easily cancelled my 15 year account without any fuss. Because I am a responsible consumer and do not incur late fees? They charged me a late fee of $3! Will not break the bank but they would not explain their billing system and how everything was fine until they took over. I no longer carry their card.

I have never really had an issue with this card till this month. Every month I get my statement on the 19th in the morning. When I wake up, it is available to view. This month it was very important for me to get it the same time as I am trying to apply for a mortgage next month and needed my score to go up a lot, I even took out money from my 401k to make sure my balance would be very low for when the statement comes out on the 19th, however this month it did not come out until the 20th. I am very upset, I called customer service numerous times and no one can give me an answer as to why it came out a day later, so all my pending transactions came out on the new statement making my balance higher than It would have been had it come out on the 19th as it was supposed to. No one there can help nor did they care.

Stupidly missed a payment. Very good about making payments with them on time, as I have two credit cards and a 360 car loan. They wouldn't reverse the $25 late fee. So I had to pay that. Before that, I got a $49 yearly maintenance fee for the honor of having their card. LOL! The $49 extra fee threw me off, things were tight, and because I didn't make a full minimum payment (my normal payment is $25, and that's what I always make, but due to the $49 fee, I was supposed to have made more). They then charged me $38 "underpayment fee." That made it so my payment due was $111. Couldn't afford it, they said they'd work out a schedule with me. Great. But that schedule included late fees as well. Crooks. I regret doing business with them. Disgusted.

I reported a fraudulent website that sent me a $1 stuffed animal instead of $500 golf clubs. They said they would check into it and submit it as "goods not delivered" but would get back with me IF they needed anything else. I offered screenshots and photos but they said "not now". A few weeks later after not getting any alerts through the APP that I use I decided to log on using a desktop and found deep inside the website after signing in I had to click on the specific account and then click "account services" and then go to "alerts and messages" then click "view messages" only to find two messages that I could not ever find in the APP. (When my car loan is due I get a big red bubble alert on the home page.)
When I viewed the messages after a long holiday weekend, the first one asked for additional information which I previously offered and the second one due to a lack of response the claim was denied (within a week). Shocking and Unbelievable. I am now in the process of trying to close my accounts but I spent an hour searching the website for an email or an electronic way to close the account and cannot find anything. The website sucks and the customer service is even worse!

I have been a Capital One credit card customer for many years and rarely if ever carry a balance. I had a horrible hotel stay in July and the facility did not have any on premises parking my last night there and did nothing to correct it nor did they clean my room. After providing numerous documents, statements and a witness to Capital One they want me to provide a credit voucher or second opinion which makes zero sense regarding a hotel stay. No matter whom I spoke to it fell on deaf ears and they treated the stay as a purchase of goods and could not comprehend the difference. I am now canceling my 3 accounts with them and will pay whatever they deem reasonable in both of my disputes as I have no time for nonsense or idiotic employees. I will now use my local bank card and NEVER do business with Capital One AGAIN! Anyone reading this should do yourself a favor and apply elsewhere as well. You have been warned.

I recently paid off a debt of 490 some dollars that I owed. The amount was due on the 12th and I paid it in full on the 11th. I receive a new charge of $6 that I still owe and when I called customer service, I got two answers: 1. Because they still need to charge me for the interest on the card from the previous month. When I disputed: 2. Because my payment was sent in on the 11th but the billing cycle does not close until the 15th so they have to charge me interest, even though it was paid before the due date. So all in all, all they want is %, even when you don't owe anything. Other than the mileage that I get on this card, this card services and customer service is a joke.

Capital One doesn't ensure that you are notified about your case - they 'just send notification letter' which can be lost. So you have to call them basically every week to get news. Otherwise you lost your money.

Recently applied and got approved for Capital One's Platinum credit card. The process was super easy and very clear. Got approved within 60 seconds and my card was mailed to me in about 2-3 weeks. The Capital One app is super user-friendly and functional with simple push notifications and a helpful credit monitor from Creditwise. Highly recommended credit card for individuals trying to build or re-establish their credit.

Capital One takes 3 business days to process electronic payments and then charge you interest. They charged me over $300 in interest over 3 months even though I processed the payment on the due date via e-transfer. I have an AMEX & Visa and the day I process my e-payments with them is the day they receive it. No one takes 3 days to receive funds digitally - EDI happens in minutes, if not seconds. When I called to complain they said it was a “legitimate charge but were willing to offer me $30 to satisfy me.” My response - "No thanks, I just simply won’t be doing business with you anymore." But I do have a loud voice and will be broadly communicating these archaic processes resulting in unethical consumer servicing.

I foolishly and desperately acquired a HSBC prepaid card which is now a Capital One card with 24% + interest rates, no rewards and annual fees. I have a long history of paying on time but no matter. Their lack of approval for credit line increases along with them clawing back. Almost every dollar I pay keeps my credit score low and prohibits me from being approved by other credit card companies.

Capital One's denial letter states I must be disappointed. I'm not disappointed in the least bit. Every possible credit grantor that issues a credit card has seen fit to issue me their card for the last 50 years. If Capital One chooses not to is their loss, not mine. My FICO score is 794 and I have never been a day late on any bill in my life. I guess I'm just not good enough for their high standards.

I've been a Capital One customer for a few years now, they're always very helpful & honorable folks to do business with. The only gripe I have is about the processing time for posting payments. When I submit a payment, it should be posted within a few hours, but it usually takes until the next day to post to my account GRRR LOL! Maybe I'm just too impatient? The mainframes have huge amounts of batch I/O tasks to process, other than that though I have no real complaints with Capital One, I will be with them a long time as long as they keep treating me right.

I have been banking at Capital One for 30 years. I couldn't go into the branch to make a deposit into my OWN account because I didn't have my license or debit card with me. I know my account number - they have the absolute worst service ever. I then said - "Well I go outside and drop the checks in the overnight deposit drop" - they said, "Go ahead" - what a joke this company and these managers are.
As for using Online Bill pay - I have sent multiple checks to different individuals (not businesses) and the checks get batched in one envelope when sent to the same address but the checks are made out on different dates, amounts and to different individuals - these are 1099 paychecks. I complained on 3 different times, even one time I could tell there were multiple checks in one envelope and had the branch manager open it to see there were 2 different checks inside - they said, "Sorry our 3rd party vendor can't fix it." I will pay these individuals to sue the bank over privacy issues - who wants to open the mail and see someone else payroll? This bank and its service departments are a nightmare. I rarely complain about anything - but after today GoodBye but I hope to see them in court. Well I fixed both of these issues - closed out my personal and business accounts and moved to PNC. What a breath of fresh air.

If you are thinking of getting a card from this Company you should start re-thinking your life. Don't even bother investing your time and money with them. Worst credit card lender in Canada. Why? 1. They won't resolve your issue. 2. They have a very bad customer care. (Once I talked to 7 representative just to spend 5 minutes on resolving actual issue) And it took 1:30 Hours to not actually resolve the actual issue. 3. They will screw up your first credit card statement and blame you for everything. 4. No one in the company knows how to resolve the issue. 5. Illiterate/irritating/low IQ staff. 6. Specifically don't get the Secure Card from them. It does the actual opposite of the purpose it is for. 7. Lastly, corrupt.

I called 9/9/2018 to get the annual fee taken off on one of my credit cards (I have 2 cards from Capital One) the agent told me that he will waive the $59 and he can upgrade my card to Venture or Quicksilver but I have to call back the next day to complete the process and so I did. I called back today 9/10/2018 and to find out that they cannot upgrade my card and cannot do anything with the annual fee. I don’t tell them how to do their job. But since they told me they can upgrade so I don’t have to pay for annual fee anymore I said yes... but to find out I can’t... we keep going back and forth so I decided to closed both accounts! I can take my business somewhere else! There’s more credit card companies that offers a lot more benefits for the cardholder. Now you lose a good and loyal customer!

This company is a full-blown nightmare. Something as simple as getting access to my online banking and it has been over a month of the run-around. I've had the terrible task of calling them 6 times in regards to not being able to access my account online. Every time I call they tell me they have fixed the issue and I have to wait 72 hours in order to try accessing it again. So I wait the 72 hours, still doesn't work. Call, repeat the same process (waiting on hold while they "correct the errors"), then once again they tell me I have to wait 72 hours before trying. This happens a couple more times so I call and ask to speak to a supervisor. She is not very nice to me on the phone after waiting 30 mins to talk to her. I express my frustration with being constantly told to wait 72 hours and try again - which SHE then tells me I have to wait ANOTHER 72 HOURS before trying again and this time it will for sure work.
You guessed it - didn't work. So I just got off the phone with them again and told them how this issue is driving me insane and I can't keep repeating the same process over and over with them anymore. So now they have sent an email to their tech department (why didn't they do that in the first place!) and I have to wait 5 business days before trying to sign-in again. Their apologies for the inconvenience came across as condescending and insincere. I am fed up. The absolute most pathetic company I have ever dealt with. I am switching over to PC Financial this month. I will be glad to never have to deal with their horrible customer service again.

I called and changed the account for my payments, when I did this I didn't know that the Indian lady on the phone with me didn't save my information that I had called and wasted 35 minutes of my life doing. Following month I had a returned payment. So I had to change it AGAIN, not knowing that this returned payment would cause problems. Few months later I requested a Credit increase, we are remodeling our house, I get declined due to the returned payment. That again, wasn't my fault.
So I called to talk to someone about the situation, and the response I got was basically 'That is a system generated response, there is nothing we can do.' Even after explaining the situation the boy on the phone just repeated himself saying "it's not my role to say it's your problem, but again there is nothing we can do." I bet American Express would love the extra money anyways. I'm cancelling ALL cards with them. Completely unsatisfied with Capital One, the suites need to focus on their Customer Service area of their business.

I recently went into the bank to withdraw cash. I hadn’t received any letters stating that they were getting rid of the tellers? I had my checkbook & a state ID and was told I couldn’t make a withdrawal without my debit card. I had accidentally left my wallet on my boat and thought I’ll just run in so I can get cash. Because of banking mergers, I have two checking accounts, a 360 account and my business card and credit card all through Capital One. I couldn’t believe that I could not withdraw cash from my account! They said the closest bank with tellers was over 2 1/2 hours away in Houston! Out of anger I asked to close one of my accounts and they said they did issue a cashier's check which I was going to go across the street and open up a new account with a new bank.
After the account was closed online she walked back to get the cashier's check but promptly returned stating she couldn’t because my ID (Texas state conceal carry identification) wasn’t accepted in their system. Unlike a driver's license this license has a full background check with fingerprinting!!! Yet, she couldn’t reverse closing the account but refused to give me my money. A manager came out to assist and eventually had to call someone online at Capital 360 who ended up hanging up on him on purpose! I strongly advise everyone to leave this bank.
Not to mention I’ve been paying $35 a month fee for my business checking for all kinds of services that are no longer offered. I guess they didn’t feel the need to reimburse me when they took them away. Last note I cannot believe the new open concept café style where you get to hear everybody’s personal banking information when you’re sitting at the same table!!! In a world of security issues how this would possibly work is beyond me!

I received an invite from Credit Karma that I was pre approved for this card and after some additional info, qualified immediately. I used it a few times but not all. I have never really needed a credit card as I use cash but being a homeowner I thought about emergencies. When I got my bill I figured I'd pay double, (always do) called the number on card ready to make my payment, then my heart drops. You have to give Credit One your routing number off your checking acct before they will accept payment! Even from your debit card. I'm 62 just bought my 1st home and all my life have never been late with my bills at all. I am very disabled and awaiting heart surgery then spine surgery after I heal. My payment is 7 days late and I am a mess, they send emails every day and basically harassment kindly.
It’s pretty frightening to me to try to figure out how to pay this card off. They tacked $38.00 late fee already. This company should be shut down. They offered me the card very quickly? They send emails every day about downloading the Capital One app, I did but they are like robots and don't leave you alone. I have never had to give out my routing number and won't now either. I will send a money order along with the cut up card and be done with them. I should go to the news and go public, but my heart? So deceitful, I'm so feeling very violated by the banking scam company. Please avoid them no matter how bad you need money, you will pay dearly. They offer a card and betray your kindness with robbery.

Capital One will not provide information that they are legally required to provide. Called customer service and also spoke with a "supervisor". They never sent interest statements nor regular monthly statements. Account was closed in February 2018 and now I do not have online access to my information. I will now also be closing my Spark Business credit card. Clearly, they are incapable of providing even basic information and basic customer service. I simply need the amount that Capital One reported to the IRS or for them to email me my interest form that they filed with the IRS so that I can file my tax return. They simply could not pull this off. :/

Filed complaint re: they closed my account arbitrarily due to lack of supporting verifiable ID info. Long story short: supposedly they have decided to refund me the annual fee of $59... what about the finance charges y'all billed me for against that $59 charge? This supposed solution is not acceptable. They have ads all over the WWW for this particular credit card having NO ANNUAL FEES. I want it in writing: REFUND THE $59 from last year and DO NOT CHARGE ME THIS FEE GOING FORWARD.

I have had a Capital One credit card for four years. I have made my first and every payment since from my iPad through my checking account which I have had for years. This month Capital One declined my payment saying invalid account. I called Capital One rep and was told it was my bank and I needed to talk to them. The bank said nothing had changed with my account and other payments had gone through. I called back to Capital One and was put on hold for 15 minutes and hung up and redialed and asked for supervisor. He was rude and told me I would have to fix it and did not know why it happened.

Back in September my Capital One card was frauded 1700.00$. As soon as I noticed I canceled my card and I thought everything was fine. After a lengthy investigation they call the situation theft not fraud and I would be responsible for the transactions. I called several times. After spending no less the 2 hrs trying to deal with these idiots I got nowhere. It says right on their from page that (if you didn’t authorize the transactions don’t worry you won’t be charged for them). I’ve been fighting with them since last September.

I made my scheduled payment to Capital One. I know it was received and posted because I also have a Capital One 360 account.

The third time I went to use it it was declined! I had no other form of payment with me. The people at the store were kind enough to let me call and find out why.
After calling I found out a hold was placed on my payment which they received varied in an email. Also go ahead and use it verified in an email. This makes no sense to me other than Capital One was trying to harass me. I have always paid on time. Always more than minimum too. It was a pure harassment and I know why because my score took a hit! That doesn't give them the right to harass me. Oh and the fund's hold was 7 days!

Apparently a new card was sent, which my husband never received, and as he was about to fill gas in his car, the card was declined. Card was expiring this month, therefore should've still be active. Upon calling customer service, he was told he was supposed to activate a new card and this card was no longer active, even though it was not expiring till end of this month. The new card was deactivated, so was his old one. He advised he never received a new card, then a representative told him he will get one within 48 hours. 3 days later, there is still no card, upon calling customer service he was told the new card was processing for the last 3 days and the new card was sent regular deliver, not 48 hours as he was promised.
After asking to speak to a manager, he was hung up on. He had to call back second time and was told there was nothing they can do. Manager also stated they can't re-send another card.

My account was restricted due to a scam check that was deposited into my account. There was a number on my account that I was supposed to call. I called it the day that my account was restricted. I got voicemail, so I left a message and expected to be called back within 24-48 hours (like normal businesses do). So after 2 days with no callback, I called the number again. Voicemail. So I left another message, and again, no callback. I did this two more times. After waiting a couple days for someone to call me back, I noticed that my account was negative the amount the check was. Not only did they deny the check (which I wanted to happen), they also withdrew the check so that my account went into the negatives. So after all of this, I did not care that my account was restricted anymore, I just wanted to close my account because I opened a Chase account, and just wanted to be with a company that actually cared about their customers.
Finally, I called Customer Service, went through the whole automated system, and finally got through to an actual person. They heard my situation, and the lady transferred me to the SAME VOICEMAIL SYSTEM that I had left FOUR voicemails on. So I left a 5th voicemail on that service. I immediately called back customer service. The lady answered the phone and as I was giving her my SSN and information so she could get into my account, I could hear her laughing and talking to other coworkers while "helping" me. Helping was the absolutely last thing she was doing. She told me that she would have to transfer me to that same voicemail system I had been getting over and over again.
I had enough, I told her to put me on hold and transfer me to someone who works in the department that I am "supposedly" leaving all these messages with. She told me someone would be right with me, but apparently "right with me" means sitting on hold for 30 minutes. So after 30 minutes, I hung up and called customer service back, for the third time in a row, in the same day. The next person I talked to, to give him credit he was very nice and seemed like he did want to help, he put me on hold for a little bit while he checked to see who could help me with my account issue. Of course, he was told to transfer me to the voicemail system that I have already left numerous messages at. I told him how awful my experience was and how this is frustrating, and he seemed just as frustrated so, thank you Brad at customer service for actually seeming like you care, get a different job with a company that doesn't ignore their customers.

She did not care in the least. 12 years of being a customer, never late with 1 payment and it means nothing. Capital One does not respect or appreciate their customers.

I have 2 cards with Capital One and fell into some hard times and allowed my accounts become past due. I received several emails from Capital One on how to keep my accounts from being charged off. I set up several payment arrangements in good faith, to keep the account from being charged off. Finally after a luck of good fortune, I was able to catch my accounts up. I've been paying more than the minimum each month for the last 3 months and my cards are still in a restricted status. When I speak to a representative, I am told there is nothing they can do and that their system is what comes up with a reinstatement offer. I feel like I did my part and took responsibility for the account becoming past due by bringing the accounts back into a good standing, now I'm at the mercy of a computer system to reinstate my account. Beware if you choose Capital One. I'm thinking about talking this to my local news station to spread the word of this deceptive practice.

With credit scores in the 800-825 range for years, Cap One downgraded it to 775 ("excellent") after applying for a construction-to-mortgage loan. Said "balance on a current loan too high compared to what was initially borrowed" (it was a NEW home equity loan dummy!) AND "too many inquiries on my credit report" (that's what happens when you shop for a construction loan) AND "don't have enough experience managing a first mortgage." (I PAID OFF my first mortgage in 2000 and that wasn't even in their records!) And finally, "don't have enough experience with credit." (I've used credit for 40 years and NEVER missed a payment including student loans, credit cards, a mortgage, etc.) And they think they know what a good vs. bad credit risk is with their flawed algorithms, records and system!!

If I could give negative stars, I would give -100. I will refuse to do business with this poor excuse of a company until the day I die and I will most certainly share my personal experience with anyone that will listen. Personal Experience: Capital One approved me for a vehicle loan and then actually changed the agreement terms AFTER I signed the paperwork; which I did not even know was possible, or even legal to do. Over a month goes by with no paperwork and then the dealership contacts me about my situation. Since it had been over a month since the approval, they were forced to perform another credit check with hard inquiries, causing my credit score to drop even further. I will be in the market for another vehicle in a short amount of time (1 year) and the fact that they pulled this completely unethical, unacceptable move will take this company off of the table when my next loan is getting rates!!

I had done a balance transfer some time ago with them and the rate was Zero percent. They are the only bank that I do business with that does not advise the expiration date of the Zero interest offer on the bill each month. I had a relatively large balance in the zero percent and was blindsided when without warning the rate expired and went up to 19.9% and my next bill had a $122 interest payment included. This practice is predatory and must be illegal! They rely on you losing track of the end date of the offer and then zap you with a high interest payment before you are alerted to make a move.

Upon receiving my confirmation letter it was then noted that my APR was going to be at 24.74% based on the credit score they listed that they obtained from Experian. I am a member of Experian and when I checked my acct with them I noticed that 4 days prior to Capital One doing an inquiry that my credit score was 735. Capital One on the letter says that Experian reported a score of 683. That's a 50 point difference.
I believe that Capital One is preying on the consumers ignorance about their credit scores and are charging higher APR rates than they should be. I had 3 accounts with them but have since closed them all and will be moving my business to other banks/credit cards.

Not so Capital One. Even though I was using the correct password and username, it wouldn't sign me in to have a look at my statements. The first person who answered the phone couldn't find a solution within the time available, and by then I was over an hour into trying to sign in. A look at my statements would suffice for the moment; I needed to know the name of a firm who I made a purchase from within the last month or two. Capital One refused to email me my last couple of statements, and despite attempts by the Chat helper, I was still denied access to my account.
When Chat became a revolving door, I tried calling by phone again. This time the person point blank refused to help, and said that because I - under the guidance of their helpers - had tried to log in too many times, they would not deal with me further. Frustrating when you need the address today of a firm from your statement. The last helper was deliberately not helpful, and insulting in a politically correct way, by saying she could not help me, and suggesting I try to sign in about three days from now.

I hesitated to provide this info since the account has been opened since 2011 w/o anyone else ever asking me for this information. I know the Patriot Act requires it however HSBC faulted in pushing the account through w/o proper vetting of who was opening the account.
In March 2018 - CAP ONE closes my account. I called numerous times and asked for a refund to the annual fee of $60. Each time I'm told no-you can't have a refund. Most recent communication w/them and the guy tells me "Oh you could have gotten a refund but only within 40 days after the account was closed. Again - no one at CAP ONE told me this even when I asked about refunding the fee. I'm requesting a refund to the annual fee along with all the interest charges building on that $60 since October 2017... when the fee was charged again.

He informed me that the charge would not be reversed and that even though I had paid the balance in FULL according to their own site, it was a "valid" charge.
I then asked him if I paid off the $25.97 that was now showing as the full balance if this deceptive charge would once again occur. I was told YES!!! According to George, even though their site said I had a balance of $25.97 AFTER having paid it down to $0 already, the balance was REALLY $26.03!!! You're reading that right... I paid the card to a ZERO balance. They added $25.97. When I went to dispute it, they RAISED it to $26.03!!

I've had this card for three years. Once a year I request a credit line increase. In May of 2018, I had a lot of fraudulent activity in my checking account (used to make my Capital One payments) and so, when I made a payment, it was returned. I was not in the US during this time, so my bank couldn't reach me. I always make my payment as soon as the statement is available. When I made the second payment (after I was issued a new debit card) it was a few weeks before the payment was due. Due to a returned payment, the Capital One system rejected my credit line increase due to this issue. When I called Capital One, a manager says it is out of their hands and it's up to the system.
Capital One is impersonal and they send a ton of transfer offers because they want your money, but they punish me for being a victim of fraud. If I was late with my payment then I would just let it go and wait until next year to apply for another credit line increase. Capital One gives the impression that a customer is just a resource to be exploited. Why would anyone accept a balance transfer offer with a credit card limit of $3500? Because it is never a good idea to utilize more than 30% of your available credit limit but I like to keep it at or below 10%.

TL; DR summary: customer service impossible to contact, inconsistent from one agent to the next. Not willing to listen to you or trust you. Makes decisions for you without your permission and threatens you. And that's when they pick up your call, after hours on hold. After having one credit card (the first one) from Capital One and using it for no problems for 2.5 years, I decided to apply for a second one. Right around this time, they switched their online banking system (summertime 2017 in Canada), and I needed to re-register for an account. Their automated online registration wouldn't approve me, and I got directed to live chat. The live chat agent told me I needed to call, so I did. After four separate calls and waiting as long as 1.5 hours one time WITHOUT EVER REACHING AN AGENT, I gave up. I stopped using my first credit card, let it expire, and never activated my second card.
Fast forward one year later to July 2018 (the current date of writing this review), I was told by a friend that I should still call to fully cancel both cards. So I do. I call the general account services line, get a representative, she verifies my info (phone number, DOB, etc) and says she needs to transfer me to an account specialist to fully close my account. I thought that was strange, since I wasn't asking her to do anything highly technical or uncommon, but I went with it.
The next person that answers introduces himself as the fraud and security department, which made me a little alarmed. There's a clear difference between "account specialist" and "fraud and security". But fine, I went with it. He asked for my phone number, I gave him the same one I gave to the first agent, and he said it was incorrect. He asked for another phone number and I told him I didn't know what to say, I only have one number I leave for banking. Especially when the first agent already accepted the number I gave her. I tried a few, the one he accepted was an outdated 5-year-old house number. I've only been with Capital One 2.5 years, so I started getting more suspicious.
At this point, the fraud specialist started becoming very rude. He said that I didn't pick up phone calls regarding the second credit card and I said of course not, because you guys had an outdated number. I told him that a previous agent had already verified the correct phone number, but he ignored me. He continued to ask for my personal info and there was just something in his voice that made me not trust him. He was talking down to me, the inflection in his voice, the way he would say "is there a reason for that?" or "how do you explain that?" He got to my address and I said I wanted to explain my situation to him before answering any of his other questions. He sighed, said "Okay" impatiently. I explain it to him (why I stopped using my first card and never activated my second one), and asked him if it was even necessary to cancel, if I could just let it sit as I had been doing. I truly didn't want to keep speaking to him.
His first response: "Your question doesn't answer my question." Why would my question answer his? Why would I ask him a question in the first place? His second response: "I can't answer any of your questions until you answer mine." That's all he said - never said sorry, never explained he needed to be sure he was speaking to the account holder (the question I asked him was a general question, too; does someone in my case need to do this or not? It wasn't even about my specific account anymore, so he absolutely could have answered it). Very vicious, impatient, demanding tone.
I was very unwilling to answer more of his questions at this point, so he said "Is there a REASON you can't tell me your address? Keeping in mind you're speaking to the FRAUD AND SECURITY department?" Capital used to show his tone. This is a flat out threat. You might hear this from a police officer while they're handcuffing you, not from a customer service rep.
I ended up just answering his questions, because I didn't want him to mark my file and give me a permanent record. And once he got all my info, he simply informed me that he closed my account - never checked with me again (it had been 15 minutes since we started speaking), never read me any disclosures. I was even expressing doubt about whether or not I wanted to close the account (whether I wanted him to be the one to do it), but he didn't take that into consideration. He also never answered my question, after I answered his.
It's one thing for a service rep to be untrained, incompetent, stressed. But it's another thing entirely for them to outright threaten you. There is absolutely no reason for any service person to treat any client, in any setting, like this. I've never made a late payment and never had a cent of interest, and I stopped using all Capital One cards at the exact same time; there's nothing fraudulent about my activities, it simply says "I don't want to bank with you anymore". Fraud department employee's name is Jesse, employee ID **. I hope that this isn't fake info he gave me.

Last October I noticed interest and fees on my credit card. I ALWAYS pay the FULL balance each month and never pay any kind of fees. I have now called 4 times (at least an hour each time on the phone) and get instructions of what I am to do. I do it and the next month here comes another bill with interest and fees on top of interest and fees. I just wrote a letter to the President/CEO and don't expect to get any response. I have closed the account and it would be my advice that you go elsewhere if you need a credit card... DON'T USE CAPITAL ONE. I think their phone people are very poorly trained but it appears their jobs are on the line if they don't collect every bogus charge they can... They must be on an incentive program and get rewarded for collecting ALL charges whether they are bogus or not. A supposed supervisor today (name Joe) actually yelled at me on the phone... What kind of business allows their employees to do this?

Capital One Bank is the worst financial organization in the US. For those that were not aware of the banking oligarch business practice, I am advising everyone to please stay away from patronage of this company. Their advertisement is racial targeted to ** and Latino groups. I got cash advance based on the advice from the staff that I can easily paid off my cash advance once I am making payment over my monthly due and all overpayment will help to pay off the cash advance. I got $1000 cash advance since 2016 and every months I have making regular payment and above but my cash advance remained with balance of $900 as at July 2018.
I got enough cash to pay off my cash advance but the Bank refused to take cash payment to pay off my cash advance alone but insisted that I must pay off all the credit balance. I petition to FTC but the bank management were adamant to letting me pay off the cash advance and with 27% the bank enjoyed ripping me off with large interest rate on cash advance. I went to the bank location at Dallas TX this morning July 3, 2018 trying to pay off my cash advance. Ms Jasmin ** at Lemmon and Douglas branch attended to me and the bank refused to take the cash payment to offsetting my cash advance which I got in 2016. Please buyer beware. Do not patronize this bank for any reason.
I am here to seeking your public advise as I am about to abandon my monthly payment and letting it go to collection and we can negotiate the balance for any amount. The FTC can't assist me and all my effort calling and going to different branches with cash to pay off my cash advance is not yielding any possible solution. Capital One Bank will send or mail you any advertisement letter from Pre-Approval for car loan and others. Please ignore the banking practice targeted to racial group. I am soliciting from legal group and public on any way to moving forward with the scrupulous banking management and all I ask is wanting to eradicating my cash advance loan. If you are new with bad credit or of ** or Latino group, please stay away from CAPITAL ONE banking. I knew it's hard to fight with banking system in America but collectively we can do it.

Capital One turned Me down when I applied for the same (Quicksilver) Credit Card that I paid off after using it for more than 4 Years without a single late Payment and I had a $5000.00 Credit Line!!! Knowing that I still have a Car Loan with them that I had since more than 5 Years and paid more than $17000.00 without any late payments, always paid more and early, and I owe less than $500.00 Now. The reasons for the Decline is because I only have One other Credit Card Which by the way is in good standing. And when I called them and after I was routed from a couple Countries Overseas, their Supervisor said they cannot reverse the Decision!!!

OK. Now I completely understand all the negative reviews with Capital One. I purchased a small lab grown diamond to replace a side stone that fell out in a ring. Online purchase. It was $700. The company charged $700 on the date of purchase, then charged $700 AGAIN the next day. I called the company and they would not answer. (numerous tries). I investigate the company the day after the purchase and find out that this company is in Israel. Yes I should have done my homework first, and that's all on me. I call Capital One Immediately and tell them to investigate this, as the company charged me twice and will not communicate with me. The agent on the phone put me on hold, then came back to say "these charges are pending, we have to wait until the charges are posted and complete before we can do anything, but do not worry, we will take care of this".
Well, the 2 charges posted the next day. $700 X 2. After even more numerous failed attempts to contact the company that day, I called Capital One again. I told them this appears to be a fraudulent company and I want them blocked from charging my account anymore. The agent said not to worry, and they always "take care of their customers". The agent said they would open a dispute and deal with the company directly. A few days later I received a credit on my account (from Capital One) for $700. OK, that's a start, but where's the OTHER $700? The next day, I receive a credit for $700 from the merchant in Israel. OK, this is strange, but I'm back to zero with this mess so I don't care. The very next day, Capital One closes my credit account due to fraudulent activity.
Well, OK, I guess I can understand that, since I was the idiot that tried to purchase something from Israel. I have good credit so I just thought I would work it out with Capital One someday in the future. YEAH RIGHT! 3 WEEKS LATER, I go on my Capital One mobile app to deposit a check into my 360 checking account I have with them. The closed credit account is still linked to the Capital One mobile app... For three weeks it stated the credit account was restricted and had a ZERO balance. Dead account. So when I log in that day, the credit account is still closed, but has a balance of $700!!! The charge detail stated "transaction rebill". Of course I lost it and called Capital One again. They proceeded to tell me that I was originally charged $700, then they (Capital One) credited my account $700, then the merchant credited my account $700, so I owe them $700... Oh that was quite a conversation.
I'm talking to the agent as I'm looking at my account, and he cannot see the TWO $700 charges from the merchant as I'm looking at them at that exact time? The Capital One agent said they made a mistake when they credited my account $700. I then asked “if this was a dispute over fraudulence, why didn't Capital One credit me the full $1400 charge?” He had no answer, and that made me livid. He stated that there is no record of the original merchant charging me twice! I asked him to look at his notes, and the notes were correct, I was charged twice. BUT there is no record on his screen, while I'm staring at it on MY screen. I did not end the conversation with the Capital One agent, HE ended it. He stated that "I can repeat myself as many times as I like, but their $700 credit was an error, and I have a $700 balance that I must pay". He was SO RUDE I had no words. I told him, “My credit score is worth more than $700 so YOU WIN.”
"Thank you for choosing Capital One, is there anything else I can help you with today"? ..."yeah, you can eat **" (that's actually what I said, and it was a terrible thing to say to a person, but I was very angry). This story of Capital One's madness is way too long. These stories are all over the net. Summary: Day 1: Merchant charges $700. Day 2: Same merchant charges $700 AGAIN. Day 3: Capital One opens a dispute. Day 6: Capital One credits my account $700. Day 7: Original seller credits my account $700. Day 8: Capital One closes my account due to fraudulent activity, with a zero balance. Day 28: My CLOSED Capital One credit account has a new balance of $700. Day 28: Capital One stated there is no evidence of the merchant charging me twice, and they made an error in crediting my account $700. (I'm looking at it RIGHT NOW, easy math here folks)
Capital One agent gets heated and rude on the phone, and his accent made his English barely understandable when he was getting angry. Funny I was not angry at all, I was trying to solve a very apparent problem with a calm demeanor. Day 29: I pay Capital One $700 to squash this and not let it affect my credit score. (SOMEONE GOT A BONUS?) I'm done with Capital One, and if you are thinking of banking with them in ANY way, save yourself the inevitable troubles that will come your way.

I've banked with Capital One for over 3 years. Had a great review up until today. My husband and I got scammed by what seemed like a legitimate company and turned out to be fraud. The person sent a check which looked authentic. I went to deposit it into the ATM, 2 days later found out it was fake. I cooperated with capital as best I could to get these people. I was assured the investigation would end shortly and my account would be placed active again. Today I called to see if there was an update on the status and was informed that the investigator response was that they will close all accounts and no new accounts considered which if you ask me, is unprofessional.
When you bank for over 3 years, have plenty of things coming out and money going into the account, you shouldn't be held liable for a mistake you didn't create. Now, we have bills coming up, it's 2 days before payday, the company can't stop the direct deposit and we now have to wait until the deposit is denied and sent back before he can receive a paper check. They have cost me quite a bit in late fees due to Their crappy service. I will never recommend them to anyone else!??

Capital One card allows you to accumulate points and redeem them in different ways. However, I redeemed my points to apply the equated amount to my card. My reason was to make that month's payment because I don’t have a job at the moment and needed to make my next payment until I get a check. Well Capital One doesn’t allow that, which is stupid. My redeemed points can’t apply to my payment. Think again about the card you apply for.

If I could give 0 stars I would. We opened this card and spent a large amount of money on it in the first month of having it. On the day the bill was due we connected our bank account to the card and paid $5000 towards it, $2000 more than what was due for that period. The system online said the routing/account number was approved. We received multiple emails saying, "Thank you for your payment" and that the payment was posted. 4 days later we received an email saying that the payment did not go through because the routing number was entered in incorrectly - which we of course would never have known.
That day we re-entered the information in and made a payment that went through. We called the customer service line and asked that the interest we were charged be refunded - which I thought would be no problem at all. After 45 minutes speaking to a "supervisor" we were told that there was nothing they could do. AWFUL!!! We did nothing wrong. We thought we were making a payment on time and had no idea that anything was wrong until it was too late and they refused to go back and fix THEIR mistake. I've never dealt with such bad customer service. We will be closing our account and doing business elsewhere and I strongly suggest that NO ONE open an account with Capital One. They are a greedy corporate company and they do not care about their clients.

I am a college student with stellar grades. I've worked the past two summers and filed a tax return in 2017 since my income was high enough to remove me from my parents' income tax as a deduction. For the past year, I've received numerous pre-screened offers from Capital One that deemed me "prequalified" for a credit card.
Finally I decided it might be good to establish credit, especially since I will be a senior in the fall and entering the workforce full-time next year. I called Capital One's customer service department for assistance with my application and told them my income. They asked me to submit proof of such (my tax return), which I did. Then I was rejected and now I have an unnecessary hard inquiry on my credit report, which is a derogatory mark and may hurt my chances of getting a credit card even more. Given that I'm a college student, it doesn't seem very fair to dangle an offer repeatedly and then reject me. I certainly won't choose to do business with this company in the future.

I am saddened by my latest and unfortunately last time I will contact Capital One. I currently have 4 accounts (2 car loans and 2 credit cards) with Capital One and never really have had any issues and am a very loyal customer. I have been with the company for years. I would always recommend the company because both the credit cards and car loans I had was fantastic. I was under the impression that the company cared for their customers and would be more understanding when assistances is needed. The issue was today, I called because a few weeks back I had totaled my car and my insurance company had cut a check to Capital One. I also had GAP insurance which would pay the difference not covered by my insurance company. All this information was already submitted to Capital One.
The customer rep I spoke to even confirmed this. The problem was that I owed my car payment the next day which I wanted waived or extended because the car was totaled. This would allow time for all the paperwork to clear. The customer service rep was not understand and just said no. It's like she did not care. Saying sorry or I understand is not world class service which I thought is what Capital One did. There was no empathy or understanding that I was asked to pay a car payment which was going to be paid off for a car I no longer had. It was like she just wanted to milk me for every dime she could. How is that right? By paying the payment, I was for fitting my money. This way the GAP would pay less than was the insurance company valued my car at. How is this even fair.
If my payment was due 10 days later none of this would be an issue. Sorry I did not plan for someone to cause an accident and total my car. This is not how you treat someone going through such a terrible moment in their life. I lost my car and instead of helping me and guiding me to get a new one because that is what I planned. I planned to use Capital One again as I have done with all my car loans. I was shut down and told, “You can do what you want to do”. How can you say that. If I don’t make the payment my credit score would be hit which would impact my life. How can I be brushed off so easily. That is a long lasting impact. I am so disappointed in how little assistance was provided. I made the payment and accepted that I was not going to get any help.
What is sad is that I will no longer use my credit cards and not get my next car through Capital One. I do not know the cost it is to market to get customers but the cost to lose this one was less than $400. I know that I am one person but an ocean starts with one drop. If Capital One does not see this is wrong I don’t know how much longer the great name will stand. I send this not for a refund or anything. It is because this was wrong. Just wrong.

Compared to my Chase Visa, where the balance is $1200 and the min payment is only $25!!! Customer service refused to waive the fee because they had waived in once in the past year (due to a disputed charge that they removed, and then put back on and again, increasing my ZERO balance).

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Capital One Quicksilver Credit card has been my go to card for years now. But after having fraud on my card on two different occasions, the customer service I received while dealing with the fraud has now caused me to NEVER use this card again. Most credit cards, when fraud occurs, will immediately credit your account as to make sure you have the proper funds available that you need and/or expect to have. But Capital One decides that they will hold that available credit for anywhere from 30 to 90 days while they investigate the fraud. This is the only credit card that has this policy and it is absolutely horrible. They are basically saying you are responsible for the fraud until we decide otherwise.

I know this is going to look like a book but this is a lengthy story. I am an eBay seller. Recently I received an email from Paypal stating someone has filed an "unauthorized charge" on their account. The amount was for $480.00. I had been talking with the customer during the time period he purchased and he seemed to be very happy with the item he bought. We even chatted back and forth several times before and after the transaction took place. I can't really blame this on PayPal because it's Capital One's fault. They illegally instigated this entire thing. When I got this email I was kind of bewildered and after talking with PayPal, even more disconcerted. Pay told me that "The customer had filed a charge back stating they had not AUTHORIZED the charge:" And then they stated, "Sometimes the customer doesn't know that the DISPUTE HAD BEEN FILED"... Meaning that they randomly do this of their own free will.
So, I contacted the seller and told him all about how I had the tracking number, it showed delivered and that I had gotten the dispute and he immediately emailed me back stating, "I did not file a dispute with PayPal or my credit card company I don't know what's going on". He then contacted CAPITAL ONE and they told him that, "They thought that some of his charges were fraudulent on that day and their system had flagged the charge of its own accord" basically. Meaning, CAPITAL FILED A DISPUTE WITH PAYPAL ON A LEGITIMATE PURCHASE AGAINST ME WITHOUT THEIR CUSTOMER'S KNOWLEDGE.
When It happened, I emailed him back and asked him was it Capital One, and he told me it was... I asked him, "How do you think I know"? He stated, "Sounds like you've had problems with them before." Believe me, Capital One has MAJOR ISSUES going on right now with billing and flagging and all these other things causing their customers and enormous and retailers a lot of financial and problem credit damage.
This is the second time I've written a review of Capital One because of all sorts or problems and I'm not even their customer any longer. Right now, Capital One STILL HAS MY MONEY TIED UP... Because of Capital One's actions, PayPal has basically locked my account down for this $480.00 illegally filed dispute and I can't even sell on eBay because of it.
Lastly, I asked the customer "If CAPITAL ONE didn't tell you that they filed a dispute on your behalf, how would you have ever known it happened had I not contacted you directly?" Meaning... had Capital One gotten away with filing this illegal dispute without their customer's knowledge and they had won, CAPITAL ONE would have my money. Since the customer didn't even know they did it, how do we know that Capital One isn't doing this and stealing people's money RANDOMLY "ROBO FLAGGING" AUTHORIZED PURCHASES WITHOUT CONSUMER'S KNOWLEDGE. There's no guarantee that just because they are a financial institution that we don't know that they aren't doing this intentionally.
In the mean time, Capital One has stolen $480.00 of my money supposedly on the behalf of one of their customers, in the process got my PAYPAL and EBAY STORE locked down because of it, and are causing me financial distress and I'm not even their customer anymore. Because of things like this I've already been through with them. I closed out all of my accounts for this very reason... TOO MANY HEADACHES and too many unknowns. My money and accounts are in limbo INDEFINITELY until Capital One makes this right with Paypal.
Mind you, I had to put all sales on eBay on hold because of my account being locked up with this negative balance until it's resolved and PAYPAL advised me to not use the account and stop selling until it's resolved. It's been locked up for several days and as of now, I have no recourse but wait on Capital One to make things right. PayPal says it can take up to 75 days. I had a positive balance until this happened. Now that they've done this, I cannot conduct business and this business was set up to generate money for my in home animal rescue efforts. Every penny we make from this goes in some way to fund the feeding, homing, and medical care for these animals.

The payment was to be received by the other credit card company by May 24, 2018 or I would be charged accrued interest (This was a 0% promotional interest rate for 12 months. If not paid by the deadline a 30% interest rate would be applied, which amounted to approximately $8000).

I explained the situation to the manager but all he could offer was that the check was returned. He verified the transfer account number that I provided on the application but the mailing address they had on file was completely different than the one I had provided on my balance transfer application. I asked him to bring up my original application but he either did not know how to do so or just did not want to be bothered. I explained to him that this mistake was on their end as my monthly payments to the credit card company in question went through just fine to the address I had provided them.
This is when he went into Corporate-robot mode and proceeded to tell me it would take 4 business days to process as stop payment order and if approved... blah blah blah... another 15 business days to process a new check.

I have spent many years on the internet reading reviews by people whom say they have done business with others, and were treated falsely. While a minority of those internet postings preclude other important factors. Some are honest. Years ago I had a Capital One account, and for unforeseen reasons I defaulted on amounts I owed. Enough years went by that eventually all of the credit reporting agencies purged every record of all of my accounts Which included finance companies, loans, major credit cards, closed store cards, and gas cards. I decided to apply for a Capital One credit card, expecting to be declined, considering I have no accounts showing.
I was approved to my surprise for an unsecured account. They read something in my application in which extended trust to me for credit. And for that I am grateful, so much so that if I had to, I would pick up cans on the side of the road (do anyhow for a free public service) to make sure they are paid for my purchases. While I do not doubt that circumstances have arisen that comments in general are most likely a minority, a small percentage is truthful. While most are leaving out the entire truths.
As a past business owner I know how things work, one satisfied customer will tell two or three people about their satisfaction, while one unsatisfied customer will tell 100 or more. The intent of this post isn't to discount honesty, just reality, that things aren't always black and white. Maybe people are to be better served considering the notion there are God winks all around, pay close attention.

I have been a Capital One customer for about 15 years. Never was late with a payment, never posted any complaints. My interest rate was in the 6% range for years. Then they raised in to 12% in one jump with no explanation. The next raise went to 16% and when I called to ask why I was told and I quote: "Because we can." I called today to ask for a realistic rate and was told there was nothing available. The rep went into a spiel about regulations and current economy... Didn't take me too long to shut that down. When I told her to close the account she said, "Sure, no problem," like my business over the last 15 years didn't matter. And you know what? It really didn't... these people are greedy and nasty. Loyalty meany nothing. Stay away from Capital One. By the way, Capital One: I have another card at 6% and they're great!

My claim against Special Ops Moving Service was denied without any correspondence from Capital One. Alexis was the processor. She failed to investigate the claim to ensure that it was valid. She basically just went through the process without using critical thinking. She lied in her notes stating that she contacted me by phone and didn't receive a response. She decided that the contract agreement Special Ops Moving Service sent was valid. I spoke to her and based on our conversation, it was determined that she didn't read the contract agreement thoroughly, never mailed out a claim form, never research to make sure that the address on file was correct, and never asked for supporting documents to assist her in her decision. I will be looking for another bank and will be leaving Capital One. It's clear that they aren't going to support their customers.

I have two business which both use American Express credit cards. Not thrilled with the rewards and the fees, I switched one business over to a Capital One Spark card last year. The card has been great and the rewards are much better. That being said, I decided to replace my American Express cards for my other business with Spark cards. Here's where the problems began. I couldn't activate my new cards once I received them. I was told that I had to call the Fraud Dept because my identity might have been stolen (BS). I called and got the immediate run around. I was put on hold and transferred to four different people who each read me a boiler plate statement.
After answering numerous personal questions I was told that this was not good enough. I was told to go to my bank and have them call the Fraud Dept to verify my identity. I went to my bank and they were confused. They actually told me to make sure that this wasn't a scam because they never heard of such nonsense. I called back, got the same run around, answered the same personal questions and was then asked to send a copy of my driver's license to verify my identity. Once they received it they were going to call me back with an update.
Two weeks went by and I hadn't heard anything so I decided to give this one more try. Unfortunately I got the same treatment today. For some reason despite answering all of the personal questions correctly, giving them a copy of my driver's license, telling them my social security number, etc... I still can't activate my credit card. I am at a complete loss at this point. Never in my life have I dealt with such ignorance and incompetence like this. I wish that customer support was able to help, but unfortunately they all read from the same template. I'm sure that someone in this company cares that I am now canceling both of my accounts, but I guess that I'll never get to speak to him/her.

This company takes a chance on consumers. Even after having financial issues involving this company, they took a chance on me. I have 3 credit cards through Capital One as well as an auto loan with a very decent interest rate. I waited a long time and slowly brought up my credit score to ask for an auto loan. I walked into dealership, and I told them I had financing. They encouraged me to look at other sources, then told me they could not help me. I brought out my Capital One pre-approval, and my financing went through in minutes on my brand new vehicle. The interest was .44 more than quoted, but I had no complaints.
Prior to my financial issues, I had excellent credit, yet it would take hours buying a vehicle. I am getting ready to trade in my vehicle, and I checked for pre-approval... Once again Capital One sent me pre-approval documents. When I had excellent credit, I purchased vehicles with interest rates of 6. 0 percent. After a huge decline in my credit rating, Capital One financed my vehicle at 6.54 percent. I make my payments on time, and I am working hard to improve my credit rating. Without a company willing to take a chance on individuals, my credit rating would not be where it is today. Thank you Capital One.

I had to make a second request to Capital One for a new credit card. The first time, even though I did give them a new address, it wasn't updated within the system. This is why I have another credit card for instances like this anyways. In this latest request, I received nothing but the utmost professionalism and assistance from Rochelle when calling into a live representative. The spin off of Signet Bank was one of the first adopters of utilizing data science, so I know that they would probably benefit more from giving discounts for customer retention over trying to pull in a new customer to take my space, so I asked if she was able to assist in reducing the fee for the late payment I accrued as I was absent minded and forgot about the card that I wasn't using for two months.
She not only waived the fee, but assisted in reducing some interest charges I have racked up as well for the inconvenience of some other associate over there forgetting to change the address. You can either be angry at the current situation you have, or find a solution to it. Capital One doesn't deserve 1 star solely because only angry people leave reviews, and although they may not be a completely perfect company, as I did end up with fraudulent charges on my account which they dealt with swiftly and with ease, they definitely are a reasonable company to work with if you aren't a complete fool to them on the phone. As is the case in any customer service based business, the company is providing a service to you so you should be just as grateful to have the resources they provide as they should be to having you as a customer.

I have had several different accounts with Capital One since 2008 and have always keep them in good standing. In March I found out that my information was leaked due to the Equifax breach and I was one of the 5% that were immediately affected. During this process I found out that I had some fraudulent charges showing up on my bank accounts in the form of ACH bank drafts. In return my bank suspended any bank drafts until we knew everything was taken care of. I had 2 payments scheduled and they were both returned due to the freeze on drafts, which the bank had initially said they would allow but long story short they didn’t. No big issue in my mind, I will just schedule a debit card payment.
However, I made immediate payments with my debit card to ensure nothing would happen and everything was in good standing. After doing this I went to use my card for fuel and it was declined. After research I found out that my CC account had been closed without any notification. Basically after talking with Capital One's fraud department I was told it wasn’t their problem and there was nothing they could do. Since then I have closed all accounts with them, as well as my father, and two other very well businesses because I was treated this way. I know it’s a small fish in the pond but if they continue this route no one will want to do business with them. I have never been treated so hatefully by someone in my life that I did business with, not to mention how degrading they are to you on the phone. They act like you are some sort of an idiot and they are just all a bunch of geniuses.
Now I have everything with Discover and they have been excellent and offer the best customer service I could ask for. Not to mention for once I actually feel like I big time credit company is looking out for me and not just themselves. With all the protection they offer, alerts, the great cash back rewards, I couldn’t be happier! So to those of you getting your first credit card or just looking to get a card, I suggest let Capital One be your last choice! That is unless you enjoy being talking to like a 2nd class citizen or are a glutton for punishment. I learned my lesson with them. I hope this really helps someone out there no matter what color you collar is!

I have to agree with everything that I have read about Capital One. It's really nearly impossible to deal with these people. I filed a dispute over an eBay purchase where I got ripped off and Capital One makes the process so long and drawn out that it's impossible to get anything done. You have an eBay sellers selling illegal seeds and according to eBay's own policy, these people are not following the guidelines NOR state and Federal law. And even eBay's own person with whom I spoke admitted that this seller wasn't following policy but neither eBay, nor Paypal NOR Capital One made her refund my money. eBay's making too much money off allowing the illegal sell of seeds and PayPal is owned by eBay so they'll back anything they do. Capital One gave me no protection either even when they agreed with me.
Capital One's so called "buyer protection" service really isn't worth the paper they waste to write it on. When you dispute something, they drag it out and it goes on and on and on and every time you talk to them, they say they need some more information or some other paperwork. Capital One makes the process so long and drawn out and complicated that it's really too much trouble to even deal with. What's even worse, I don't think the foreigners they have answering the phone really even know what you're talking about when you try to explain it to them and that makes it even worse. It's the same with eBay and PayPal. You can't find an American to speak with that you can explain anything to so that they CAN understand what's happening... It's adding insult to injury... They're breaking the law... eBay won't stop it. PayPal won't do anything about it and Capital One just lets them get away with the entire thing.
That's a lot of the problem because there's a "language barrier issue". They don't really understand what you're talking about. They're hearing you, and they're saying it but they don't REALLY get it. When you have that kind of problem going on, it's just pointless because it's never going to end. IF YOU PAY FOR SOMETHING WITH CAPITAL ONE and you THINK "they have you covered", you're ABSOLUTELY WRONG. They're covering THEMSELVES and that's IT. You're NOT covered and you're NOT going to get your money back. It's a big lie. You may as well as just hand them your cash and be done.

I’ve been a customer with Capital One since 2015. I started out with a secured account and was offered an unsecured account. I got the Quicksilver account and within six months my limit was increased due to good payment history. In April, I had identity fraud on my checking account with Wells Fargo and it was restricted by them after my payment was scheduled, so Wells Fargo blocked all incoming and outgoing transactions. Capital One tried twice to pull my money out of my account, but Wells Fargo rejected the transaction twice so Capital One restricted my account and closed it. This is after years of exceptional payment history and no returned payments.
I provided Capital One with proof from Wells Fargo that it was their error, and a bank statement showing my account balance that was sufficient enough to cover the payment, but Wells Fargo’s restriction is the cause of this. Capital One didn’t give me a chance to make the payment again, didn’t alert me that my account was closed and they’re making me jump through hoops to see if my account can be reopened. They’re telling me that there’s no guarantee my account will be reopened even though I had no control over this situation. Their fraud department is a joke and they don’t advocate for the customer. I’m disappointed because I’m 23 and this will mess up my credit rating, as well as cause me to move to another company if my account is not reopened.

A month later I still have not seen my money so I call they haven't even put it in for refund yet so they put it in for a refund and that it will be May 4th before the refund is put directly back into the account it was taken out of. So I wait giving them the benefit of the doubt to the 7th. I call again then I'm told so it was the 14th not the 4th. I specifically repeated several times the 4th.

I have tried several times to redeem my cash rewards - over the course of many, many days. Each time their website stalls and indicates bogus data which precludes them from cutting me a check, such as my address on file is inaccurate (it is accurate), that the service is unavailable at present, etc. I am just getting this very bad feeling that their website is rigged to stall and be unavailable to redeem cash rewards. The other thing is that engaging with their "real" customer service team is a horrendous experience: unknowledgeable, unhelpful, and downright unprofessional. IS THIS COMPANY FOR REAL?

This is one of the worst banking experiences I’ve ever had. These people don’t do their jobs, and they don’t care about their customers, or retaining them. About three weeks ago, I responded to a text message offering lucrative $500 weekly payment for them to put advertising script on my car. When a check for $2,550 drawn on Capital One arrived in my mailbox, it seemed suspicious, so I deposited it in my Capital One checking account and told them it would take 10 business days to clear. Capital One cleared the funds right away, but a few days later the check bounced. I could have taken that money out in cash, and left Capital One holding the bag. I chose not to do this.
Meanwhile, another merchant who I’ve done business with in the past charged my debit card $77.99 for a service I had previously used~~ since I didn’t authorize them to make that charge at this time, I called Capital One to report it. They didn’t have anybody in their fraud department to talk to, so they gave me a toll free number to call and leave a message telling them the details of the charge, and I was promised a callback... That was 2 weeks ago; I left several messages on this line, and I never heard back. Nobody even tried to call me---- so I called them yesterday.
I work for the government, and get paid by direct deposit, on the 3rd of each month. The unauthorized charge, along with the bad check, created a $50 overdraft in my account, which was resolved today. The bad check was returned unpaid~~ I never attempted to use any of that money; it just sat there and was debited back out of my account when the large check bounced. Since nobody at Capital One was doing their job about the unauthorized charge, I decided to let it stand, and use the service I was billed for, and dropped the dispute regarding it.
Jay called me just now, and says that due to the “excessive risk” I posed the bank, they’ve decided to close my account and no longer do business with me. They’re going to transfer my government money to an outside account, and close me out. No amount of reasoning could convince Jay that I pose no risk to their bank. I could have cleared the cash out of my checking account, and left them holding the empty bag. Had I known how I would be treated by this bank, the thought of it sounds very tempting. Now my money is tied up for more time, I have to open another checking account and change direct deposit with Uncle Sam to that new account.
Jay made it very clear that Capital One doesn’t care about its customers, they don’t care that I’m taking my business elsewhere... Nothing that happened posed any risk to the bank; if I had wanted to rip them off, I have plenty of opportunity, and chose not to do so. This bank just plain sucks. Save yourself a lot of grief, and take your business elsewhere. Capital One doesn’t deserve anybody’s business~~.

Nope they charged me interest for the days it took the check to arrive! I asked them to waive the interest and they refused! Never made a late payment in my life, still haven't. But Capital One lost my account... my husband's... and all four of my children's. All over being greedy over 31.07! I closed several other accounts that day. Not one charged me interest! So check out American Express every day Blue and Chase Disney!

This is in relation to BUYPOWERCARD from Capital One. There is supposed to be protection from wrong charges on your credit card. There is not with this card. Customer service is worthless. I plan to cancel this one. Case in point: Charges from a store - merchandise never received. Capital One reversed the charge and re-charged it 10 days later. In the meantime I had received forms to fill out. I did this promptly and faxed it to them. Customer service claimed to never have received it. I had verification that the forms were received on Capital One's end. Capital One refused to remove the charge.

Capital One Mastercard - I was late by 3 days after the company tried to contact me, by mail to an old address, and as soon as they called me I paid twice the amount owing and updated my mailing address. I then got a report from Credit Karma by email that my credit had dropped drastically because of Capital One. When I phoned them they were not helpful at all so I paid off my prepaid account, as it did not have a very big balance, and they now owe me 3 times the amount back from the security deposit I had paid to open the account. All this over $ 34 payment 3 days late... Do not deal with this company. There are other companies a lot more forgiving and tolerant than this company. They claim to assist in building credit but will tank it over $ 34. Protect yourself and find another company. It will be interesting to see if I get my money owing back to me in 3 days. I wondering if I can file a claim to the credit bureau if they send it past 3 days late.

Stay away. Have had this card for years. Recently I have been getting late fees even though I’m making payments on time. I pay them the day is due but they don’t process it until another day. Then they refuse to waive the late fee. Last March 23rd called several times to make a payment. Was on hold for 2 hours. Got them on the phone. I made my payment on the due date. Was told that I was getting a late fee. Spoke to supervisor Page. She told me that I had to pay a late fee. I asked, "Why? This is my due date." The answer I got was they had no offers to remove the late fee. Will never use this credit card again. Don’t recommend Capital One. Use Chase. It’s a better credit card.

I have had this card since 2004. I have had Black status (>$25,000 per year) for many years. When it was owned by World's Foremost Bank the customer services was exceptional. With the acquisition of Cabela's by Bass Pro Shops, the credit card business was transferred to Capital One. Now the customer services is unbelievable poor. I am working on scheduling international travel and my card continues to get blocked as suspected fraud for simple transactions. I have called customer service three times in the last two weeks in an attempt to resolve this. Each time I am told the problem is fixed but it has yet to be addressed at all. Seriously considering canceling card. I like the cash back for Cabela's purchases and also like keeping card turnover to a minimum but need at least D minus customer service commitment and see Capital One as a long way from even getting there or caring about getting there.

They said there were no offers on my account to allow them to waive it.
I have had the account for at least 12 years. Never missed a payment. Great standing with them. I spoke to Supervisor Joy who told me she could not waive it. I asked for management and she said they don’t take consumer calls and you have to write to them. I will definitely be doing that. I am closing the account with this company and I would not recommend them to anyone. I had the same situation with Discover card and they were a awesome and waived the interest charge.

Then, I was able to make a payment to bring my balance down a considerable amount, more than the agreed amount to get it unrestricted. They told me once I did that my funds would be available the next day at 8 am. That morning they weren't available so I called. The person told me they would be available the next day at the same time. Well, they weren't! So, I called again and the person told me of course the next day. I must have asked him 10+ times if he was positive and he said yes. What do you know they weren't available! For six days I've called them and every single time they say the next day at 8 am and the funds aren't available.
I called my bank and the payment went through, they took the money out of my account. I called today and went ballistic. The guy said because of my past payments they were checking to see if the payment would go through, but the money is gone from my bank account!!! Also, all of my past payments have gone through with no trouble. It doesn't make sense!! Also, on the Capital One app it says the payment went through and my balance is down. Most of the things they say to me don't make sense. Again, the guy said the funds will be available tomorrow at 8 am!!

Very bad customer service. About 4 years ago when I was rebuilding credit I got a card with them with a very low credit limit. It was about $300. I kept it for months charging a few things on it and making payments. My credit rating had jumped way up since I got the card and I was getting offers for cards with much higher credit limits. I called to ask for a credit line increase. They declined saying my balance on the account was too much based on my credit limit. I had about a $75 balance. Since my credit limit was $300 they considered my balance too high. I thought I was doing good keep a balance to make payments and keeping it low. So then I kept my balance at less than 10% of my credit limit or $300 so I had to keep my balance below $30... ridiculous.
After about a year I asked for an increase again. They then said I was not charging enough on the card. I couldn't win. I no longer needed this card and canceled it. Within a few months they sent me an offer with a credit line of $7000. Made absolutely no sense. Recently I called their customer service regarding another credit card offer I had from them. They had me go thru all kinds of voice prompts to get to the correct dept. When I finally finished making the choices from their many menu options, they informed me that they were closed and to call back during regular business hours. How about telling customers that you are closed upfront Capital One? It's very inconsiderate to have people waste their time going thru all the menu options only to inform them you are closed.

I told them NOT to touch the $ in my bank because I had paid an extra payment to CO to generate reward. It was returned because they did remove money. Then, this month my income tax was coming in so I hurried and paid off both of my cards. I selected the wrong day and it didn’t clear. As SOON as I found out I resubmitted and it cleared. Now... That being said, my payment was NOT even due, I have NEVER been late, and I almost always pay it off or above minimum. Well... They closed both of my accounts. I am brand new to credit. I only got my first card in June of 2017. I didn’t know it was a big deal. I looked at it like an extra payment to help establish credit and if something went wrong and it didn’t clear then I could just re-do it.
Things happen, but no, I get lumped in with people that intentionally miss payments or use bad checking practices etc. and now I have had both of my cards with CO closed.

My experience with this company has been like the majority of other reviews left by their other dissatisfied customers. Capital One recently sent me an email approving new car financing. This is a new tactic. Up to this point they were just wasting paper by sending me these loan offers. Most of these offers were sent with postage paid envelopes that I promptly filled with all the paper they sent me, not filled in of course, along with the envelope they sent it to me and mailed it back to them. I don’t care how much it cost them in postage. I am so disgusted with this company. You see about 7 years ago my mother passed away unexpectedly. I needed an increase of my credit limit as my limit is a low 1500.00. My interest rate is so high and it has been very hard to pay more than the minimum amount each month. I only asked for the amount of a plane ticket. That’s it. Nothing more.
I wasn’t surprised at all when they said they couldn’t help me. I was even in tears as I was trying to ask to speak to a supervisor to see if they might be able to help me. I was promptly told, “no”. I’ve had an account with them for a very long time. They have never lowered my interest rate when I ask either. It’s very hard to talk to anyone because communication is hard. I’m sorry but, if I became your customer while living in the United States you should provide me with English speaking customer service reps. They don’t understand me and I don’t understand them.
They have the worse customer service I have ever had. They are not caring, do not show sympathy, empathy, or reward loyalty. They are all about the money. I’m so dissatisfied with this poor excuse of a company. They wouldn’t help me go to my mother's funeral but approved me for car financing. What a damn joke.

The bill was actually paid almost 2 weeks prior to the end of the billing cycle. Mind you, I have never been late and I always paid double and sometimes triple what the amount due would be. I was told that the interest was from the prior month.
I still am quite confused, but nevertheless they have received the last $34.12 from me. I am only keeping the account open because I have excellent credit and the available credit is fairly large.

In 2015 my father passed away. My mother who is now 93yo had only one credit card (VISA) she wanted and we worked to get her set as the primary on that card. My folks had several other credit cards, many of them expired or dormant. My sister and my wife both returned those cards cut in two to the respective card companies. One of them was a Capital One GM World Mastercard, that had been dormant since 2010. I remember that card because my folks got it specifically to use points to buy a GM car. When they were told it could not be used to buy a Saturn they stopped using the card. I am the POA for my Mom as she is 93 yo and has vision and hearing problems and cannot write checks or pay bills. I now pay all her bills, they come to me, I live 250 miles from her. We both live in Florida. She barely leaves her condo.
Flash forward to Feb 2018 and imagine the surprise when I am forwarded a statement for this Capital One GM card that is now suddenly reactivated and has a charge for Origin Energy Holdings Adelaide in the amount of $19 AUD. She did not reactivate the card, nor make a purchase in Australia. So I contact Capital One straight away to dispute the charges and inquire how to get a POA filed on the account. My concern is how this happened so that we can prevent other fraud. I am given a "secure web portal" to upload the POA documents, which I do, I have sent a similar packet successfully to several other banks with no problem. Nothing missing from my package. In return I got a confirmation number and a manifest showing that all the files in my packet were received. I was told it would be acted upon in 24 to 48 hours.
By Florida state law, a bank has 4 business days to approve or deny a POA request. To make a long story short, I have sent this request to three different locations at Capital One and no one can find it, nor has anyone called me. I did send a reminder letter to "general correspondence" and they did not bother to read it, they simply sent a form letter back requesting information already sent plus questions irrelevant to a POA like my citizenship and income, employer and such. I have made dozens of calls, spent hours on the phone and no one will help me close this account and restore my mother's credit standing.
This is a terrible company that seems to have a business model to provide credit to lower income and minorities (we are neither). The comments I see by others reflect a similar level of frustration and folks being denied money that was hard earned. Capital One should be shut down. I think it is operating like Wells Fargo in that someone reactivated my mother's account surreptitiously. It is an organized crime operation.

I missed December & January 2017 30.00 payments and once I got a job and paid them on 1/28/17 I realized my credit score went from 680 to 450!

Overall, I have had a 4 to 5 star experience holding a Capital One credit card for several years. However, I am not of the “kick ‘em when they’re down” mentality, & I find the practice offensive, whether personal or business. When my finances shifted for the worse about a year and a half ago, I tried to “maintain.” When I acknowledged the degree to which I was challenged to do so, I reluctantly decided to enter a debt management program. I am dedicated to expunging my consumer debt and have honored my contract to abstain from obtaining credit elsewhere.
However, I find the set interest rate Capital One established for me while I endure this hand-to-mouth existence to be the least helpful of any of my creditors! Citibank is much more supportive of my plight, as is USAA. Both banks set my rates at less than 5%, which is manageable, & it also helps me make some progress on the debt. Capital One: not so much. Their rate is triple the others, and I am chipping away on debt there at a snail’s pace by compare. This is not a “scathing” review, I know; but it is a matter of fact, and offers a contrast among 3 bigger banks. If you have a choice, I recommend Citibank over Capital One by a long shot. And USAA just rocks on principle. Military life is hard on families. That bank actually serves those families well.

Capital One has been my bank for many years. Last year I came into a lot of money with the sale of my mother’s house. The Banker named Christine ** at my branch in Staten Island kept harassing me each time I came into the bank, urging me to "Do something with my money-It is too much money and Nobody keeps savings accounts anymore-It is old-fashioned". I told her that I will be buying a home in North Carolina by the fall (2017) and that it doesn't pay to embroil myself with C.O Bank anymore as I will be leaving NY soon; I need the money for expenses and there are no CO Banks in NC. She looked up the zip code in NC and told me there was one right in the town where I was looking which turned out to be false!
With this information, I agreed to see the Financial Advisor/Vice President Alex B. Christine **. sat in on our meeting (and kept encouraging me to go through with this). I told Alex B that I am too old/poor health to follow the stock market; I have already lost a lot with Cap. One investing years ago as a young Nurse; that it cannot be tied up because I will need the money soon, to be taken out in increments as I go along purchasing furniture/expenses (and medical bills). Mr Alex B said "No problem. I will set you up with a liquid account so that you can easily take the money out as you need it, It will be conservative so that you don't stand to lose money and you don't have to follow the stock market and it will be income producing - much more than a savings account can offer.”
Mr Alex B even showed me an account on his computer of a Nurse who put in $100,000 and was happily making an income - I did not see any negative numbers or their exorbitant fees on her account-only gains. Feeling confident about this and the positive information given to me, I signed on the dotted line and turned over my whole savings - $100,000 into this account. Now I have an empty house in North Carolina. I cannot spend the money freely - it is not mine but their money even though CAPITAL ONE WENT DEFUNCT IN FEBRUARY 2018 for which I was never informed of!
So to make a long story short: I was not told that there are no Capital One banks in North Carolina! I was not informed that I will have to call up Alex B at Capital One investing when I need money for expenses so that he could send a voucher to my home in NC! He made it sound as easy as a savings account! Alex B. did not inform me of risks, penalties, fees and loss of value when I take out the money I need. He did not inform me that I must keep the money in the account long term in order to increase value even though I told him I would need this money soon, that I cannot tie it up or keep it long term as I will be needing the money within a few months!
They did not inform me that this product is risky and loses value and is not FDIC insured! In addition BOTH CHRISTINE ** and ALEX B convinced me by the end of the meeting to take out a CAPITAL ONE MORTGAGE LOAN for which I did and was approved - THE MORTGAGE DIVISION IS NOW DEFUNCT ALSO!!! Christine ** harassed me about that too and I assured her that I applied and was approved but decided to pay for the house in full since I had the money in my savings and did not want the extra burden of paying another bill! I was never told that Capital One investing will cease to exist! My money has been in this 6 months now - and I do not know how to proceed.
IF I withdraw - I stand to lose a lot of my money. I am contemplating meeting with a Lawyer about this. It is confusing to know how to proceed as I am given conflicting information by Cap.one employees - "I stand to lose money if I withdraw, It will increase in value - give it 1-2 years ( don't have that much time), you haven't given it enough time". The value is decreasing dramatically as I write this. This is not the life that I envisioned for myself. This has put a damper on the joy of being a new homeowner. I am wondering how long I must keep it in while I am not able to dress my home or keep up with expenses. I am on Disability and Medicare and told Alex and Christine that I need the money for this also and cannot chance to lose it or have it not easily accessible. Why couldn't they advise me and guide me to a more suitable account-fitted to My needs and not THEIRS?
I would have never signed the contract 6 months ago had I known that there were no Capital One banks in NC and that Capital One Investing will cease to exist. I am older and like to have the bank nearby for my banking needs. There is NO MORE Capital One Investing. I was told by Cap. One investing by telephone that accounts are being handled by the "National Advice Center" which according to Google is hard to find. Then these accounts will be turned over to the FSC which I was told by a Cap. One Financial Planner (at the toll free number) stands for "Financial Advisor Group" which I can't find on the Internet also.
Who are these people and why should I trust THEM-FSC - with my money if I can't even trust Capital One? Please let me know if YOU HAVE BEEN DECEIVED BY Capital One Investing also! My guess is that Capital One knew that they were failing and needed to draw in more money for customers who had large amounts in their savings. The employees are vultures who Target, Harass and deceive customers until they get you to do what they want you to do - All FOR THE BENEFIT OF CAPITAL ONE BANK AND NOT THE CUSTOMER!

I explained that information to Capital One representative and stated the charge was fraud and please take the steps necessary to secure my account; adjust, freeze or close - I don't care. Just protect my account. He still insisted on speaking to the primary cardholder. At that point we had been on the call for 26 minutes. I requested a supervisor; he put me on hold for 57 minutes!!

I have called Capital One multiple times, asking for status updates because I cannot access the account but even though it was flagged for security - they withdrew the $10k from my grandmother's checking account. So, the money was hostage.
During this process, I received an email that we needed to contact them or risk the account being closed. I called and then had my 95yr old grandmother call (even though she is easily confused - hence why I'm DPOA). She was told everything was good to go. Now, on 3/23/2018, I received an email saying the account is closed and the funds will be sent back because "they haven't heard from us". Ironic, right? I call again. They tell me the department that validates the Agent/Conservator form is understaffed and way behind schedule. They will review my form about 1 month after I sent it to them. So, because they are behind schedule - the account was closed.
Bottom line, the Capital One process for a DPOA to open an account is disconnected, fragmented and not logical. Capital One could have cared less that I've had to call them 10+ times, done everything they've told me to do - yet they close the account because they are understaffed and behind. Makes sense! All I have to do now is call back in 4-5 days and see if the form has been processed. If so, I can go thru the entire process of trying to fund and re-open the account. In the meantime, my grandmother has missed out on 2+ months of interest and had her $10k held (making them money) while we wait for their process.

I have been a customer with Capital One for almost two years and I called in reference to a credit limit increase and had the worst customer service experience I have ever had. I was told that there was no one to talk to or ask questions about anything to do with a credit limit increase. I asked to speak to the supervisor and was put on hold for about thirty seconds and the same person came back on and said they were the supervisor and gave the same name, Kay, as the first person and had the exact distinctive accent. The pronunciation of her words were exactly the same. So I was lied to twice. I don't believe for a second that a company as large as Capital One doesn't have a dept for this and then for "Kay" to come back on the line and pretend to be the supervisor. It was really obvious that it was the same person, really obvious.
Updated on 05/12/2018: The company responded to my post asking for my contact info so we could work something out. I answered the message and so far no callback or anything.

While the representative was on the phone I sent a copy of my utility bill, bank statement to prove proof of address and also my social security card. Once again the representative was working to get everything approved. Everything was going fine and the representative hung up after having had me on hold for an extended amount of time.
I call back and the representative said they could not approve it because they could not read my social. It was “blurry”. I informed the rep that my card had been washed and that was as clear as I could get it. The signature on it matched my I.d. And you could see the numbers so I don’t get what the big deal was. I was told I needed to go get a new social security card and to call them back once I have it which would of course take another two weeks to get in the mail. If there was an issue it should have been resolved before the money was taken out of my account! I have closed my account and I now have to wait two months before I can receive my money back.

Contacted Capital One to discuss interest charges added to statement. I contacted customer service last month to verify our payment had arrived because it had not been posted to our account on the due date. The representative confirmed receipt of check. It was not posted on the due date instead it was posted 1 day late. We were charged a late fee and interest on the previous month's average daily balance. I called again to discuss. Was informed that they apply payments the same day they received them and that no adjustments were available. So I set up auto payment for our next statement. I was nervous that the payment might not get posted on time because the only option for auto payments is on the actual due date, you cannot set the auto payment to pay early.
I checked online and was pleased that the payment was processed on time. Then I checked our account a few days later only to see that they charged us another interest fee. I called and was informed that they charge two months interest (residual fees they called it) for past due payments-supposedly clearly stated in the terms, which I could not find and even asked for a copy but they were not able to provide one. There are no grace periods as there are with other credit card businesses. So we have been charged two interest fees on two different average daily balance amounts because Capital One processed our payment 1 day late. By the way, this is the only time we have ever been late making a payment and we always pay our full statement balance. WILL NOT RECOMMEND CAPITAL ONE TO ANYONE EVER AGAIN! Very disappointed!

Finally they acknowledged that the card was compromised. I decided to close my account because of poor customer service. They sent me a check for $1795 dollars for the remaining points I had accumulated. They refunded my annual fee. I was locked out of my account. Three charges appeared after the account was closed in the amount of $695. I was not notified until an email I received on December 26, 2016. Despite acknowledging this was their error and removing the late charges and interest expense for all charges associated with this late payment they reported the matter to all credit bureaus as a late payment.
My credit rating was 830 before and is 740 after as a result of this malicious act on their part. I have appealed to them and have an executive case file. Instead of accepting responsibility they have blamed me and seek to diminish my standing in the credit community. I had an account with them for over 5 years and paid every balance every month in full on time. This is the first of many actions I am going to take to expose them for their malicious consumer practices- they created this problem and retaliated against a top customer with a near perfect credit rating because I closed my account.

I got an email back from an email with the name of Capital One Web Information. Which by the way, was a uniformed generated email. Whether that went to a person or not I just replied I'm not interested in any further dealings with your company. Which in my opinion adds insult to injury because even if I'm not a customer, a company that's interested in gaining more customers rather than word of mouth bad reviews would reach out to that person via phone and not via email. Big companies forget that more than 90% of people won't complain but will tell about 20 people about their bad experience with the company.
Now with social media, well that negative experience gets shared with even more people. All I know is, I will NEVER deal with Capital One ever again and anyone who mentions them I would strongly advise against. Because if my experience shows the competence and intelligence of their reps (which we as customers will be mainly dealing with), then I'd really hate to see what happens if there is a problem with your account.

There are many credit cards, but Capital One is known for no foreign transaction fee and that's why we got the card in the first place, to use it on our trips. Called the company before the trip abroad, were assured that it would be ok because the card had a chip. Get to the foreign country and the card gets declined every time. So we call Capital One and they tell us they can't unblock the card because they are protecting us. Seriously!
After much deliberation on the phone, they unblock the card. We had to make an emergency medical purchase, which was quite large, but way in line with the credit limit. Try to use the card - blocked again. Call again (at least good thing we had wifi calling) - they are still protecting us from fraud and would not unblock the card. After 20 minutes on the phone, still can't use the card and now it's blocked for both small and large purchases - supposedly for our protection. What's the point of using the stupid card if you don't have access to your money when traveling? Canceling the card, withdrawing funds from our accounts and looking for a new credit card with no foreign transaction fee.

Hello my name is Alfreda **. I've been with Capital One since November of 2011. I have always made my payments on time and I'm in good standing with Capital One. My credit limit is $1,500. It took seven years to get there. In 2017 Capital One offered me $35,000 to buy a car from Kia or Hyundai. These were my only choices so I passed. I didn't think Capital One should choose my car. In March of 2018 I want to go to Ashley furniture store and buy me a bedroom set. I saved up $4,000 and I was $3,000 short so I ask Capital One for increase on my Capital One credit card. They told me No. Come November of 2018 I will be with Capital One for 8 years and I have never asked them for increased in all this time. So much for loyalty.
Capital One would rather loan me $35,000 for a car I don't want before increase my credit card limit to $3,000 for a bedroom set. I guess they feel like I should just keep sleeping on the floor. Now that my credit card is paid off I will never use this credit card again or would I recommend Capital One to anyone. I feel like Capital One is being bias in this situation. If I'm in such good standing and a loyal customer why couldn't you give me a $3,000 increase on my credit card. I know a lot of people who have unlimited credit line with Capital One and they file bankruptcy???⭐
