    I applied for a new card a week ago and was approved. Capital One then sent me a letter in the mail saying that there may have been a fraudulent account opened in my name and to please call them. I did, I answered all of the questions and security questions, as I already have a card with them as does my husband. After that the rep asked me to scan and email the front and back of my DL to them... ha ummm NO... when asked why they were needing this, they go into this long script about how something on my application didn't match exactly what was on my credit report but wouldn't say what... Sorry but I am not sending that, they said well they wouldn't activate the card even though I had a link emailed to me, a text and 2 phone calls. I am not sending copies of my state ID to anyone. So long story short, I cancelled that card, paid the other 2 off. They only had small balances and cut them both up after closing them.

    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%.

    When contacting customer service you would find yourself extremely lucky to get in contact with someone that could actually help you with your issue let alone talk to someone you can understand. Just terrible customer service. While having this card I also received tons of phone calls from bogus callers trying to bleed me out of money. These places had way too much of my information without my ever contacting them. One of them told me they got it from my credit card company. So if you want your personal info secure don't get a card through Capital One. Remember if you think you're getting a great deal it's rare that there aren't some sort of consequences.

    Can't understand a lick of what the reps are saying and overall just plain having this card is useless! They charge an excessive amount of fees and they hardly ever raise limits even for long time customers. Capital One should be ashamed of themselves!

    Credit Karma suggested that I apply for a Capital One secured credit card which I did and they took the security deposit out my account. The next day I called and they stated that it takes 10 days to post to my account. That was the 26th of June and I called back on the 5th of July to see if it posted. They stated that the clearing house hadn't released the payment. Now it's the 16th of July and they can't find my payment and don't know where my money is. I withdrew my application and they still don't know what's going on. The customer service sucks because on don't know what the other is doing.

    I applied for the Capital One credit card as a suggestion from Credit Karma to rebuild my credit. My issue is why suggest a card that could help with my low score but penalize you for using the card! Then they constantly change your score up 20 points down 6 then up again. They hit you with a hard inquiry after they suggest you to apply??? You're given a credit limit based off your deposit yet if you use anywhere near your limit it affects your credit score??? I've had the card for months now and never missed a payment, pay before the due date in full. I'm new to this whole credit card world and I don't understand the purpose of having a card that you get penalized for using. I've read I may be eligible for a credit increase after a good payment history, why would I need a higher limit I can't use??? Makes no sense. If I can only use $40 dollars of a $200 limit why would I want to increase. (I know, utilization.)

    I informed Capital One Quicksilver about my one-year sabbatical stint overseas. They noted that and for a couple of months, it was great to have a credit card that does not charge foreign transaction fees. Then they froze and restricted my credit card usage without telling me until I could not use my Visa Quicksilver at the local vendors, I called up and discovered that they were doing it because of possible fraud. I gave all my personal information as is usually required including my DOB, SSN etc. That was not enough. They asked that I send the original social security card (1st time I have been asked to do that) and a proof of address. I did and a couple of weeks later, (after a 2nd overseas call) that those documents were not enough. They wanted a bank statement - I dutifully sent it.

    After some days, I called again, this 3rd time, they said they wanted my driver's license which I sent. Then later they said, they wanted both front and back of my DL. To date, I have not heard from them. This indiscriminate freezing of members' credit card (for me overseas) is totally unwarranted especially after calling them so many times. I have a perfect record of paying my monthly bills (maybe that is the reason). I have a great credit score. Can they not be more discerning about who is a great customer and who is not - instead of blanketing everyone in their dragnet - almost like the TSA checking babies and grandmothers!

    Capital One just denied me for a new credit card with them, even though I've had a different Capital One credit card for over 20 years now and have a top tier credit score. Additionally my assets are high, my debt to equity ratio is extremely low and I have never made a late payment in my life. I also pay off all my credit cards in full every month and always have.

    I applied online for this new card and the letter they emailed me said that I had opened up too many new credit card accounts in the past 2 years. This is a pathetic, computer driven reason and is WRONG HEADED!!! If Capital One reviewed my 38 year financial history properly with a human review and not a computer they would have approved me in five minutes. Now Capital One has forever lost a good customer. AVOID CAPITAL ONE - there are plenty of other banks in this country and world.

    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.

    Capital One has a policy of not transferring points to a spouse when the other one dies. Their reasoning is that there is only one main Vantage cardholder and that cardholder is the only one allowed to use the points or "give permission" for them to be used. When I questioned this they said that is the law. Why? We pay our account off every month and were charge to accrue points. What a surprise when I found out I cannot use the points due to the death of my husband. They said he isn't around to "give you permission." Something is wrong with this picture! Shame on them.

    Capital One is charging it's customers a penalty rate and jacking up the interest rate to 22.99% on the spark business credit card if the customer is 3 days late. That is not only unfair and absurd, it's very bad business. I don't know any CC company that penalizes it's customers when they're less than 30 days late. I've had an AMEX platinum business card for 13 yrs and have never paid a late fee unless I was 30 days late. I absolutely will move my business account elsewhere.

    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.

    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 have been trying unsuccessfully to have Capital One close out my deceased husband's Capital One savings account. They have received copies of his probated Will, death certificate, etc. and still they will not issue payment to close out the account. My attorney is beyond frustrated since there are no other documents that can be provided to Capital One and the answers I get from my phone calls are that their "death unit" is handling the matter and, no, there is no way I can talk to someone in the unit. I firmly believe that the unit gets their "jollies" by constantly reminding their customers that someone they loved is now dead. If you have a Capital One savings account I strongly recommend you consider closing it and moving your money to another firm who is more customer friendly.

    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.

    I've had their card for 15 years. I use automatic bank withdrawals to pay. On a $343 dollar balance, they increased my min payment from $20-$25, and when the auto payment came in, it was $5 short and they charged a $25 late fee! 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). AFTER 15 YEARS of always paying on time...for $25 late fee they were willing to lose all future business from me. That's called being GREEDY and OPPORTUNISTIC.

When it finally posted my principal had only gone down $58.58, which was only 2 days later. I then called back and of course nobody knows about only applying to the principal and nobody can tell me why it only went down $58.58 when the whole $432.25 was to go towards the principal. And after 5 more phone calls to their very rude customer service I still have not gotten any answers or results.

    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. On top of that their customer service reps are absolutely horrible and are never willing to help out the customer. Do not get a Capital One credit card!

    So I have had the worst experience ever with this customer service. I accidentally made a payment of 400 instead of 40. I called the day I noticed and the rep just transferred me to Capital One 360 who provided me options to resolve this issue. I called on Playstation card on Monday to verify that they do not reprocess payments after they have been returned. They said once. I called Capital One 360 and they verified the payment was returned. So I put my money back in so that I could pay rent.

    The next day they processed the 400 out of my bank which stated "ACH retry". Two people lied to me. I was transferred a total three times. I asked to speak to a Supervisor who stated nobody left notes. How convenient. Then she wanted to talk to Capital One 360 AGAIN. For what? IDK. We did the call and then she stumbled on her words leaving both me and the Capital One 360 rep scratching our heads. She made it seem like I was at fault. Like really! People make mistakes, but 400 has turned into a nightmare. All I asked of the supervisor was to provide her agents better training and support to their clients and she made it seem like I was at fault. Her name was Katrina **. Maybe someone from corporate can create a training session to help customer service reps talk to consumers. We live in a world where first call resolution is the best practice.

    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.

This request was approved by Capital One and the balance transfer was said to be completed on April 28, 2018 and my account was debited. 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). On May 26, 2018, 2 days after my payment deadline I received a letter from Capital One stating that the payment had not gone through because the check was returned.

    I called the customer service number immediately and eventually got through to a manager after being bounced around on the phone for 15 minutes. 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. And basically there was ‘nothing’ he could do to help me out. Hey Capital One, this screw up is going to cost me $8,000 because you dragged your feet in notifying me of the mailing address issue.

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.

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.

    This company takes a chance on consumers. Even after having financial issues involving this company, they took a chance on me.

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.

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.

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.

    So I applied for a credit card and was approved. I provided them with my banking information. Two weeks later I received a letter in the mail stating that they have yet to have received my deposit money. So I call and speak to someone on the phone who takes my money out of my savings account directly. I wait another month. The card arrives. I try to activate the card and the account has been closed. Apparently it was closed when they took the money out of my savings account because they don't do debit accounts.

    So I follow their Direction and I get penalized. They tell me that they'll refund my money. It'll take 7 to 10 days and I can reapply which puts another hard inquiry on my credit score. 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. This is been the most ridiculous unservice oriented bank I have ever had to deal with. They have now had my money since February, I have not been able to use it. I cannot seem to get a refund.

    I am writing an update to my review: I am wondering if the "stalls" may have just been a poor internet connection on my part. My bookkeeper was able to get my rewards redeemed pretty quickly with a stronger internet connection.

    Original Review: May 5, 2018

    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? I am getting a very bad feeling about doing business with them.

    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~~.

    After having been with Capital One for several years (20+) I was sent an email stating that my credit card was going to be blocked unless I called the company with my physical address. I had been using my PO Box for years, as many residents in Hawaii don't receive regular mail delivery to their homes. So after many years, Capital One thought it was imperative to have this updated information. I called and gave my address and was told everything would be taken care of on their end. A few weeks later I received another email from Capital One indicating that my account had been closed for not having provided a physical address. I called again. I was told that it would be approximately 7-10 days for them to review my information and they would decide then if they will reopen my card. I was sent a letter stating they would not be reopening my account.

    So I wrote them a letter, because they are obviously too incompetent to take phone calls responsibly, and told them I had no problem with my account remaining closed. Mind you, I have always had excellent credit, but their incompetence had placed a "red mark" on my credit score at no fault of my own. My best advice is to stay far away from this company as you possibly can! They aren't worth the paper their credit cards are printed on! Pathetic excuse for a credit card company that's for sure!!

I use them when I order online and travel as they are not connected with my banking institution and therefore help in minimizing fraud. My interest rates started out at less that 10%. I subscribe to automatic payments in addition to paying extra each month. I called today to inquire about the 25% interest rate and was advised that Capital One adjust rates every six (6) months and that no adjustment to my rate could be made now.

After my husband suffered a stroke and congestive heart failure, my high deductible insurance made it necessary to carry a balance on the cards for the first time. As a result, I ended up with $6,500 on one card and $4,600 on the other. After yet another failed attempt to have them lower my interest rates, I took out a personal loan to pay the balances, and then I shredded the cards.

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!! I'm so sick and tired of being told one thing one day and the next another and different reasons each time. It's also frustrating talking to the people. Either they speak horrible English and are not very bright or they have heavy accents. I've NEVER been lied to so many times from a company. The worst customer service. They obviously do not care about their customers.

    I needed my funds to be available today for a very important reason!! I've never been this angry. I got into a horrible car accident yesterday on top of what's going on with these complete jerks. I'm having the worst 2 days!!! Also, seeing the complaints on this website shows me they don't care about their reputation. They just want to keep scamming and ripping people off.

    DON'T TRUST CAPITAL ONE - QuickSilver - ZERO STAR - BAD EXPERIENCE. They are a liar. They said if I open my account and spend $500 on purchases within 3 months, they will give me one-time $150 cash bonus and cash rewards for every dollar I spent. I did, I met the spending and time requirement. They decided to close my account and said my cash bonus or cash reward was forfeited because the account is closed. They lost their credibility with me. How can a big company do such thing, no integrity. They are FRAUD! I called them, they said there's nothing they can do about it. They said it states in the user policy that they can forfeit anytime, knowing that most consumers don't read or understand them when they read the policy. They set us up so they can fraud us.

    Recently after paying a credit card balance in full to these people, I was contacted by their fraud division. They couldn't tell me what it was about until I jumped through their "hoops". As I live in a cell phone "dead zone" and have limited computer capability, I could not comply with most of their requests. They settled for a FAX of driver's licenses. The following day we were notified that this was inadequate and they needed repeat faxes of identification, social security card and proof of residence. For several days now, my account has been frozen. I just want to them to return any overpayments and close my account, but they refuse to do so.

    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.

    How awful to just throw a good customer away simply because they entered their payment incorrectly. First, I live with & share expenses with someone. 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. Thanks a lot CO for not even giving me the chance to get even a warning shot. Banks make mistakes. I make mistakes. I live in FL where we went through hurricane destruction. Etc. Etc. They lost a good customer because I have PERFECT credit. No “baddies” and 000 late payments. My TOTAL CC debt is $1,700.

    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. I will never apply for anything with them again. This card will be paid off soon and that’s it.

    Capital One is a terrible credit card company. I had a zero balance at the end of the billing cycle. When I called to inquire why, I could not understand anything the representative was saying. The dialect was horrible. I asked to speak to a supervisor and explained that I had a zero balance and was still being charged interest. 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. But you best believe they will NEVER get any more interest from me. I will only charge less than $5.00 once a year, just to keep the account open. This is very bad business practices at its best. I would never recommend this sham of a company to my worst enemy.

Totally outrageous. I filed a formal complaint with executive customer care & all they did was apologize & credit my account a lousy $100 bucks.

    All Capital One is good for is high interest and low credit line. That's the bottom line. They will straight out lie to you over the phone and they will tell you falsehoods.

    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 expressed this to Capital One being that I had a credit card with them with a 500 credit limit and they insisted that my account will be fine. 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! So I called all three credit agencies and they told me there is nothing that will bring my score up to 680 besides Capital One removing those 2 missed/late payment of your credit report!

    So I called Capital One and spoke with over 20 supervisors who told me they cannot removed negative remarks off my credit report until I stumbled across one STUPID supervisor who told my Capital One does removed negative remarks off people credit reports. It just depends on the situation! The manager then refused to explain why my situation did not apply and became argumentative! There is nothing you can do in America with a 457 credit score not rent, take out mortgage auto loan nothing and they are quite aware of this!

    So I kept calling and finally got a supervisor who told me she would have the two late payment removed from my report so I waited 30 days. After 30 days Equifax updated my score back in the 600's and the Capital One late payments remarks were gone! So I check TransUnion and Experian only to see my score with them was still 457. So I called back AND ASKED WHY WAS THE LATE PAYMENT REMOVED ONLY FROM EQUIFAX?

    The manager then told me she will resend out to TransUnion and Experian to remove those negative remarks making my score 457. You should guess what happened in 30 more days!!! Yup! All 3 agencies now have my score at 457! Yup even Equifax who just had my score at 680! So the manager keep lying to me from 1/01/2017 until 5/5/2017 saying they will removed the score after at first they said they couldn't but still haven't and giving me the runaround! I have wrote numerous letters to corporate which they said were abusive after ruining my life lol and now they saying none of these 1000 existed!

    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.

    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 am the DPOA for my grandmother and tried opening a MMA for her. The account was flagged so I had to submit my DPOA paperwork and a notarized Agent/Conservator form Capital One requires. I tried opening the account on 1/18/18. I submitted DPOA paperwork on 1/25/18. I submitted the notarized Agent/Conservator form on 2/26/18. The reason this took so long is they didn't notify me this form was required for 2-3 weeks after submitting DPOA paperwork.

    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. It's been a couple of weeks. I honestly think they just wanted it to appear like they were trying to resolve the issue. Worst customer service ever. Go with Credit One or your local bank never get a card from Capital One. Paying mine off and closing the account.

On March 13th I called to see what I needed to do to get my account activated I was told only my driver's license was needed and it would be cleared up within 72 hours. On March 17th I had not heard anything from them so I gave them a call only to be hung up on twice before getting to the 3rd person and them telling me I needed to provide more information. 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!

So now, as I am in the process of trying to purchase a home, they decide to cancel my card... No advance notice. In fact, they sent the letter in March that they closed the account in February. That simple move dropped my credit score at least 30 points... And dropped my FICO score category down one level.

    I have always taken pride in the fact that I have paid EVERY bill EVER by its due date. I have no negative marks on my credit file except NOW the fact that CAPITAL ONE has canceled my card.

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.

The only reason we did not pay the bill was because it never arrived in the mail. Prior to the missed payment, we had paid our bill off in full every month for over 10 years. So yeah, we missed one payment, but what happened to the bill? And why no heads up before deactivating the card.

    When we contacted Customer Service, they flat out refused to reactivate the card until we made a payment, a truly ** thing to do to people who are traveling and having to pay for hotels, gas, food, etc. And, BTW, we had over $50,000 in our Capital One 360 account at the time, so we were obviously good for it.

My credit record clearly shows that I DO NOT PAY ONE PENNY OF INTEREST, EVER!!! All of this fell on cold-hearted deaf ears. SERIOUSLY??!!

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???⭐

    Being proactive, I called Capital One today to notify their company of a family holiday to CUBA. Their response is it cannot be used. The response is because the parent company is a US Company and we are unable to utilize our credit card. Their advice is to take out extra cash. Ironically. I called my emergency credit card company who is also US based notified me that the card can be used. The reason is because they operate in Canada. They cannot restrict access to CUBA and US Government does not govern travel for Canadians. Anyways, just another hurdle. So for anyone planning a trip to CUBA go to another credit card company.

    They give you credit, and you use it and before you even make to your first statement you are restricted because of fraud that isn't. In the first week anything I tried to purchase with this card was declined for fraud, had to call like 3 or 4 different times to unblock - You can trust or rely on its availability, thank God was not on a vacation away from home. Lastly I had car repaired and was going to pay with my card, it was declined. The charge was well below not even a third - so in other words I had plenty of available credit - so I call again this time they say it's restricted. I have to send in ID and bill of bank statement and social security card copy front and back.

    I wish they had alerted me but they did not just left me hanging. Second time trying them, there will not be a third. And their customer service and foreign fraud department are cold. At first was really upset and disappointed but wanted to channel that in a way to help others of their shenanigans. What's in your wallet, burning like a bad flame? Capital One? Do NOT rely on them for trips/vacations, they will without notice leave you in a bind that could have you facing jail because you were expecting to use your Capital One card for a service to only find out it's restricted - after the service has been rendered to you.

    We have been Capital One customers for over ten years. We have both personal and business accounts. We always keep very positive balances in all accounts. We had personal and Spark Business credit cards. We always paid balance due monthly. Recently applied for Savor Card. Sent me card with $10,000 limit. Capital One put restriction on new card, for proof of my ID. I sent driver's license, SS card and passport. They indicated 72 hour waiting period to remove restriction.

    We had a CC declined for $16.00, which had a $20,000 limit, with current balance of $2,700, which has since been paid. When I called the bank about the decline, they said all my cards were on fraud alert, due to the Savor Card restriction. After several calls to the bank, I ask them to just cancel the Savor Card, as I have plenty other cards. This was after my several contacts with customer service, over the past week. I was informed that they would just cancel all my Credit Cards. I agreed, as I was tired of being jacked around. Yes, just an account number, with zero effort for customer retention.

    On this day, they've been down for no less than 2.5 hours. Upon calling, there are obviously higher wait times due to this issue. If you try to check your balance over the phone, you are then put on hold since their automated system is down. Basically an endless cycle of not being able to pay bills or check your balances.

    They also have moved on from their own, fully functioning P2P system and started using Zelle. Because Zelle would like to send verification codes it will have a meltdown if you are using a family plan and your billing addresses don't match making it completely impossible for me to use the system. I used to tell everyone how amazing they were but at this point I can't wait to leave them.

    After getting my credit score up through careful use of my credit cards and loans, I asked for an increase to the paltry $700 limit they allowed me as a teen. I understand why the limit was low back then, but I'm 30 now and my credit score is usually between 780 and 820. They denied my request to increase the limit. My other cards allow me limits between 5k and 10k and I keep the balance on them below 10% to optimize my credit score but I couldn't even buy groceries with a limit of only $70 to keep it under 10% usage. So I had planned on waiting a few months and asking again when my score was better, but they closed my account this month with no warning.

    I lost a credit card with a 10 year history because they wouldn't increase my limit to a usable amount without taking negative hits to my credit score. And they wouldn't increase the limit because I didn't use it enough. I hated them as a teen because they would hit me with nickel and dime fees constantly and the only reason I kept them this long was for the credit history boost. But when I called them they informed me that once an account is closed it cannot be reactivated. In a small part I'm glad to be rid of them, but I'm also angry that my credit score took a bump down because of their stupidity. Hassle free? They're the biggest hassle of any creditor I've ever had to deal with!

Okay, that's not much money but sometimes they charge me 5-6 times a day. There are well over $150.00 worth of charges that are removed from my account and then put back on. I told them to call the company. When you look the company up a black screen comes up and states "this site contains spyware." Capital One doesn't care. Who is on the fraud investigators team? What a joke... They don't understand English and I am starting to believe that they take part in this fraudulent activity!!

This is a dating site for elite single travelers who are looking for partners to travel the world with. Oh yea, I am worried about .99 cents while I am in Italy with my mate. This all adds up!! $150.00 from me (in a year) and 100,000 other people is giving someone a decent salary. Most people don't notice .99 cents and it took me months before I saw a pattern (charging me several times in one day). They are a terrible bank and they rip off anyone they can!!

They slapped a $40.00 late fee for being $1.00 off on for the first month which led to fees totaling 160 00 because the first fee drove the payment up even more. When I called them they refused to do anything. What really bothers me if there is no reason the minimum payment went up my current balance is only $50.00 less then the balance that drove my minimum payment up and the payment is 35.00.

I was then transferred to the rewards department where they told me that they need to transfer me back to the department I was just talking to. So, I get another incompetent representative on the phone who is telling me that the flight is no longer available. Well that is funny because I am looking at the flight on multiple sites! Clearly, it is still available and it is still available. After literally multiple hours of dealing with this ** the flights and rental car with my rewards went from $83 out of pocket to over $300 out of pocket. I am beyond pissed! Capital One is a joke! I will not recommend them to anyone. You get pure runaround and no service! I will be changing to a Southwest Card where I know I will be taken care! Screw you Capital One! Jennifer Garner, you’re a doll but Capital One Sucks! Do not use Capital One, stick with Southwest!

    Closed my account with no explanation and spoke to me very rudely when I rang to ask why. Used them for over 2 years paid on time stayed within my limit and this is how I get treated? Customer services and complaints team were absolutely awful. Woman basically said, "I’m getting bored of repeating myself. The account is closed and I don’t have to explain why." Considering this is now going to have a huge impact on my credit score which I have worked so hard to get good to get a Mortgage. I have emailed their CEO but would advise anyone to not take a credit card with this company.

    Beware Capital One’s card customer service and fine print. They are happier to lose a customer than to try to make a customer happy. Also be careful to note that payments after a certain time on your due date (I won’t say the time here in case it were to change or be different for someone potentially reading this post) are still considered late and assessed a late fee. So having a mobile app to pay 24/7 really isn’t that helpful when you go to pay the evening of your due date and find that your payment is already late. So much for 24/7 convenience. If you have to call customer service, they aren’t going to try to keep you either. They’ll be happy to close your account and move on to the next person who doesn’t mind being treated poorly. Needless to say my card is closed now. Save your time and get a card from someone who lets you pay on your due date and values you as a customer. It’s not Capital One.

    I have been with Capital One bank for 4 years and would like them to know how much I appreciate their service. Each and every time I call I get the same customer service on my good and bad days! Most of the time you have a verity of customer service actions. Capital One makes sure that anything you need and I mean anything from Balance questions, concern transactions, credit update, credit increases they will help you 24/7. There has never been a time I couldn’t call. They don’t charge you extra fees to pay your bill. They just simply want to help you and if they can’t they surely will get you to someone that will.

    I had logged on to my account just the other day and had noticed a charge of 2.63. I then looked at it further to discover it was an interest charge??? Are you really kidding me at this point. I have spent an exorbitant amount of money with these people and only to be charged exorbitant amount of charge of interest during the months?? This really is a hard slap to the face. Yes, obviously I can pay this insulting charge but it’s the principle behind it.

    I called Capital One customer service but she was very blase with her reactions and response and informed her that American Express just increased my credit limit to 10000. I am NOT looking for a credit limit increase because it means nothing to me but the way this whole entire matter was handled. I had told the agent that I’ll be doing no more business with AMEX and just not bother with them anymore but she just left it like that so I guess Capital One will Be sitting is in the back burner for some time to come until I decide to cancel them.

    How many others were promised a flat 9% rate after the 12 month introductory period. I received a call from a listed Capital One number that had all my personal account information and told me after I paid the account down to a zero balance at 11 months, that if I kept the account open they would set it at 9%. So the next month I took my daughter to Disney World for vacation to only find out after getting the next bill in the mail it wasn't 9% but 29%.

    Now being a electrician that has helped set up servers with companies I asked them for IT support because I still had the call in my phone history only to be ran around and getting a supervisor saying they have never offered anything like that. Not even looking into the time/date/stamp of the conversation. The company is nothing but lies. 1.5 years and multiple calls and now turned over to a collection attorney. I guess it's either fight it or pay double for their late fees. Never will do business with any affiliate of Capital One or their sub-companies in India.

    On December 28, 2017, I submitted a payment for $923.09. This was the total amount due at that time. On December 29 2017, I had surgery on the cervical portion of my spine. On January 3, 2018, I received notice from Capital One that my payment had been returned. When asked why, they stated that I input the checking account number wrong and that is why my bank refused it. I have spent over seven hours of my time in the last five weeks, which included two trips to my bank, a conference call while at the bank and multiple calls to Capital One from home.

    First I was told that the information needed to clear their system and it would take 3-4 days, then it was more phone calls and 8-10 days and now it's 12 days and I still can't pay my bill. I paid the bill out of my business account last month. My bill is due on the 14th and it looks like I will have to pay with my business account again. I am supposed to be recovering to go back to work. If I make a mistake, I am penalized with fees and increased interest. What are my seven hours worth? The original statement from Capital One doesn't even make sense. How did they shut down the right account if I input the wrong numbers?

    The bottom line is, you will not get any real customer service while a company is protecting where they stand with their format and procedures even if it is wrong and hurts a person. I would also like to note that I kept my composure through all of this and can understand how Capital One can manipulate those who don't. In short, I think that Capital One is suspect in many ways for how they do business. Why won't the rating section allow me to give them less than one star? They don't deserve even one.

    I originally wrote a review back on 12/9/17 stating I disputed a charge that was inaccurately described on eBay. I opened up a claim on both eBay and Capital One which eBay made a judgment in my favor but explained that nothing could be done about shipment charges due to the fact that capital one was in the process disputing it with PayPal. I called and asked for assistance from capital one and was told to keep the merchandise on hand even though eBay said I could return it because they were disputing it, well time passed and capital one reapplied the charges and basically said, "Oh well we didn’t tell you that" even after I supplied all the documentation that judgment from eBay was in my favor.

    Then on 12/11/17 said how they again reversed the transaction which I thought was the last of it until... Fast forward to 02/01/18 I received a call from another brick of their company looking into this again. Which now no 02/08/18 the charges have been reapplied. I hope this makes it to as many people as possible as this is the worst company to do business with. With a simple search and accordance to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Capital One is consistently rated amongst the worst since the bureau opened its doors. I highly recommend everyone to stay away from this company as they are only looking to rip you off which sounds a lot like your everyday thief.

    If you're looking for help to re-establish your credit, I wouldn't suggest this company. This company has been a nightmare for me. I've seen some unorganized, contrary people before, but these people take the cake. I paid my accounts on time every single time and suddenly I get locked out of my accounts and can't get back in. Not even to make a payment. Due to what they say was a "fraud alert". I have no idea what happened but I'm glad I paid both of my accounts off. I'm just saying. As long as it was working it was fine but when this happens, you can pretty much kiss your card goodbye because no matter whether you're paying on it or not, once they do this, there seems to be no way out. Too many foreigners to talk to. Too many people that don't seem to know what they're doing.

    It sure didn't help my credit I can tell you that much. Thankfully I have other cards and credit and my score was decent or this could have been disastrous for my credit. I see many other people are having the same problems. Do what you want, but personally I won't ever deal with them again. I think maybe they're going bankrupt themselves or something and now they're shutting down what they consider to be "Risky" accounts. I don't know why they chose me to hit on because my credit score is good and I don't have any late payments but for whatever reason they did this to me, I won't recommend them. It's just wrong the way they handle business.

Then Ben came rudely way telling me that I should not use my credit card. If I cannot make my minimum payment. I also ask him that if I make the same payment I did last month, his answer was "you will receive a late fee for not making your minimum payment".

    That's not the way you talk to customer. They should coach him and teach him on how to talk to customer. If not it seem that he not happy what he is doing, are other people looking for job that best treat people in customer service. I also talk to Ms. ** supposed to be his Supervisor.

    I have been a Capital One customer for over 20 years. Recently they changed their website making it impossible to get in to make a payment. I tried several times and have been locked out 4 months in a row. I have never missed a payment in 20 years. But due to the new website I was unable to make a payment in December. I tried to call customer service and was put on hold forever. Finally I had to hang up for work and decided to try again later. NO ONE ever contacted me regarding this payment until the next month. Only by this time they dinged my credit report.

    Once again for the 4th time I am locked out and it took half an hour to get any help. Regardless of the lack of a courtesy call, their website locking me out and my 20 year standing they refused to reverse the credit report hit stating I just didn't make a payment. Hard to do when locked out and unable to get a hold of someone from their customer service team. I will be paying off my two cards and will NEVER use Capital One again. Other companies at least make a courtesy call prior to sending a report to the credit agencies. And all I got from their representative as well as their manager was a big fat, "Too bad. So sad. We won't help you."

    Capital One Bank is the biggest bunch of crooks I've ever encountered. One of their ATMs took our cash and did not deposit it back on December 4th. I immediately called and started a claim while still standing in front of the ATM. Gave them all detailed information... they denied our claim saying they did not detect a problem with the ATM. I told them they needed to reopen the claim because it's easy to verify seeing as the ATM has a camera and so does the Target the ATM was located at.

    Now they're saying the ATM doesn't even exist and basically trying to call me a liar and saying they do thorough investigating!!! All they would have to do is walk into the Target and see that it's right there, this is not a 3rd party ATM this is a Capital One full service ATM!!! The customer service reps are absolutely horrible and have insinuated more than once that I am lying. I have been with this bank for 10+yrs and am appalled that they would pull something like this. I am still waiting for them to complete the second investigation but seeing as they are now claiming that the ATM doesn't even exist I am sure they will deny it as well.

Neither of which could speak proper English or sounded intelligent in any way - they must have been reading from the screen. I received a customer service survey that when I clicked on was "expired".

    Being a young adult, not a lot of Credit Card companies would accept me. Young naive me sent one in for Capital One, I was accepted. Me and my father read through everything before opening my account, everything looked fine, the interest didn't look that bad. I of course used it for books and stuff for college, buy now, pay later when I had the money. Fast forward a year and here I am, now in shock as I finally do the calculations. I have to pay a certain min amount each month, a little more if I feel like I'm doing good that month, and behold as I slowly come to realize for every min amount I put in, their interest is so high, it's about half of that min payment that is put back on once the interest hits every month. Yes, EVERY MONTH THEY CHARGE ME HALF OF WHAT I PUT IN.

    I do not touch this card anymore in fear of this tactic. You spend $200? Stick to the min payments and in the end you will be paying them $400+. I'm still a struggling College student so all I can afford is the min payment right now, so seeing this send me into so much grief. I honestly wish I had never signed up with them and just stuck to my main bank. Need a good recommendation bank? Go to Wells Fargo.

    The Capital One website also is pathetic and ridiculous. When you enter your username and password it just takes forever for the account page to load then once it does all you ever get is a pop up message saying, "Sorry. We seem to hit a snag but we are working on it." Well they have a mountain of things to work on but for me with their stupid slogan, What's in your wallet, I know what isn't in my wallet!!

    I called Capital One today again! (This would be the 3rd Year I have called.) Issue: I've had the Capital One Platinum Card for years, with an annual fee at inception and wanted to know if this annual fee could now be taken off my account! Because for the past 2 years I noticed that the card no longer has an annual fee and I am in good standing to have my credit balance increased. Why is it that I am not in good standing when it comes to removing the annual fee? I spoke to a supervisor today, bc I was tired of hearing so many different explanations from other reps.

    He also informed me that there are no criteria to be considered by Capital One for this request and that there were offers that could potentially have this fee removed but that as of now - (after several years of me paying this fee!) - the offers available for me were not to my liking? Really? So all I could think of were all of those customers paying this fee millions and millions and how convenient it is for this institution to not want to give it up! These were the options I was given: Apply for a NEW card with no annual fee, which would not help someone like myself who is trying to build credit/since opening too many accounts or closing accounts would only hurt my credit.

    And ultimately yes the offer not to my liking. LOL. To upgrade to another card Quicksilver One with same high-apr 24% same annual fee $39 and a rewards program of 1.5. Do the Math! while I agree this is a good card to start with, Capital One should also take into consideration the removal of the annual fee upon their credit increase review! Thank you!
