    Capital One has an account that is not mine. For the specifics #** for $500. I am citizen of the United States of America, would like to make a complaint against Capital One for account & amount above. They seem not care about consumers' rights for identity theft. I have made several attempts contacting the agency disputing fraudulent accounts. They refused to delete & consider the (FCRA) FAIR CREDIT TRANSACTION ACT CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU OF CALIFORNIA CREDIT LAWS Sections 605B, 615(f), 623(a)(6).

    Well I just got the account, paid deposit $49 $200 credit, 30 days to get card was told 7 -10, no problem. I got the card but could not use the card anywhere in my city. The card has a chip which means you have to have a pin, I contacted Cap One who said they didnt send one as courtesy, I explained they should have sent me one with the card to save time, the rep explained I could generate one on their site to use the card right now!! I spent hours trying to do this just for the site to tell me to call back in the end.

    Called back. Spoke to a rep who could not figure out was wrong with my account. She had me run through their steps to make a new pin after I explained I just did this. She wanted me to do it again. I laughed and said no. I explained in detail what the site was going to say and do. She asked me to do it anyway, to be nice I did, she could not explain what was happening so she had to transfer me to another rep. The next rep explained that I had to have account more than 60 days to create my own pin but she said they would send a generated one in 7 -10 days for this pin. I told her I was on hold for almost a hour half just to be transferred and told that. I explained that if the first rep had access to proper account info she would have been able to tell me and save us all time. I waited for pin almost month, finally I have my pin. The card works fine.

    I lose my card. Around 100 bucks is used. I file claim within seconds with the site. “Site states I'll receive new card in 7-10 days and dont worry cause they'll replace what was stolen from me”. About three days they put the funding back. Perfect. I'm happy. About 72 hours later HAHAHAHAHA! THE TRICKS KICK IN!! THE MONEY IS GONE AGAIN!!

    I called. They explain it was my fault for not using the money within 72 hours, I explained their rep did not tell me that when I called to verify a card was on the way, they apologized for the first rep not explaining that part to me, I said, "Ok. I understand." Hung up, walked to my room and was like, "Wait. What??" I called back laughing. Explained how would I have used funding without a card? How would anyone use the account with no card?? And now you're telling me 90 days before I get it back? HAHAHAHA! When I added things up, "looks like they use dirty tactics to slow you from using your account after they got your money".

    Why have I concluded this, one the fact that a credit card company sent a card no pin, I'm sure you are aware 1000's of times over we need pins in CA. And not sending a pin slows down your customer. Keep funds in your pocket Cap One! I'm sure you know "by not telling the first reps what they really need to know, makes things look like mistakes by a person who doesnt know too much, but it's only intended to look this way. Cant lie if you really dont know all the facts. I'm sure you know by limiting the time" to before a person can realistically access their account!! Again benefits you locking funds with you 90 days Cap One, dirty tricks that are obvious when you add it up and look at it.

    I've had Capital One credit card for over 10 years and for a while I was in school with a part time job and couldn't make the payments. They decided to restrict my account and I thought it was temporary. By this time I graduated, got a better paying job and started making bi weekly to monthly higher payments to lower my debt and make the account good standing again. I call customer service after six months of payment and ask when "will they unrestricted my account?", I was told "I'm not sure but soon or when higher ups decide to make you an offer."

    Year passes by and nothing yet. Called again and got the same story and on top of that they still charge all their member fees, interest and other charges. If I don't have access to my card or any services they shouldn't charge other fees. I'm so disgusted with this company. Finally going to close my account with them because it's obvious they are ** me and want me to pay all the fees for nothing. People make mistakes and at times go through bad patches in life where they can't even buy food. Now that I'm in a better place and making payments they refuse to give me service.

    I had placed an order for merchandise and notice that my card was charged then it disappeared. I called the merchant and they could not find my order through email, name, phone number or item number. I placed another order. After I received my first order and that was charged on my account another charged showed up. I disputed it as I should have. Wrote a letter explaining what happen. They removed the charge again. They just put the charge back on b/c UPS said they delivered it to my front door... no signature. So now I am charged $500 and Capital One Master Card said "Oh well." You have to prove you didn't receive it and even then they can't do anything. Four months later I am suppose to contact the police to find my box. How do you prove a negative??? Sorry... I have extremely disappointing and will never use Master Card or Capital One again. I've decided to write a review on every site I can find.

    My boyfriend and I recently traveled to Italy and had an issue with a $150 charge from a taxi service we never took in September 2017. Fast forward to Jan 2018 and we are still no closer to resolving the issue than we were when it arose. Back in Sept, my boyfriend called Capital One and disputed the fake charge as soon as he noticed it back in the States. We ended up getting a letter back from Capital One saying they sided with the merchant because we didn't send any documentation! How could we send documents over the phone?? So we called again and they suggested appealing the decision with documents over email.

    So we did as they told us and we just got correspondence back for our appeal saying they already determined their decision to rule with the merchant... Nothing about how it was an appeal and nothing about all the documents we attached trying to prove we did not receive any service from the merchant. Overall, this has been the worst experience I've ever have had with a dispute!!! I've never had any other one of my credit cards side with a merchant when the customer NEVER RECEIVED A SERVICE whatsoever!!! Wake up Capital One! I'll be cancelling my card ASAP!

    For the eighth time a payment has been declined! Extremely embarrassing when standing in a line at the checkout. Each time I phone Capital One to find out what is wrong with my card... (I pay full amount owing each month, NEVER carry a balance, always pay on time) I'm told that it's been used "FRAUDULENTLY"!!! Like Fry's, CVS, my insurance company, my internet/cable supplier, my home security company, - regular monthly payments, Safeway, etc. would be considered questionable places of business! NO ONE that I'm able to contact has been the least bit helpful. I'm always told that the 'warning' would be removed, but it hasn't! I'm completely fed up with Capital One Costco!

    Capital One Bank for credit cards is very disgusting, terrible and horrible service! Do not Bank with them or get a card from them. They are very inconsiderate people & they do not waive any late fees for no reason. My credit card bill was due on the 8th of every month and they would not consider the fact that I didn't pay it on Eastern Time like they said it was due. Well I explained to them that I paid on the 8th at 7:50pm my time. They still wouldn't waive my late fee and they upcharged my minimum up to $35 from $25 These people don't play. YOU MIGHT WANT TO SWITCH TO REGIONS OR CHASE BANK. THEY ARE AWESOME!!! I switched over and had no issues with them.

    I told Capital One that I have been a customer of theirs for over 6 years and still didn't care. The supervisor had a disgusting attitude I would hate to work for her. She had the nerve to tell me have a great day! after all the issues I had with them. I said, "And you have a nice ** day". Oh! and by the way I am putting A BADDDD review up of you’ll in ConsumerAffairs reviews. She said, "You don't have to tell me that". I told her, "I thought I should let you know". Please don't bank with this dumb bank. IT IS The worse!! Plus not too long ago they had worldwide mess up everyone’s accounts overdrafting them and making people have negatives in their accounts.

    I have been with Capital One for about 10 years now, over the years I have tried to get them to lower my interest rate which is very high, probably the highest rate they give. I have excellent credit, pay my bill on time, and don't deserve to pay such a high rate. If anything you would think that I would not have a yearly fee considering how long I have been with the company and the interest rate that they continue to screw me over with. I recently asked for them to remove the yearly fee and was told that because they waived it last year that would not be possible. Really, they aren't taking enough of my money with their bloated interest charges, give me a break. I am so done with them and will be taking steps to leave them forever and telling every person I come across not to do business with these foreign thieves.

    I attempted to pay my bill while away on vacation. I was told I needed to do a 2-step verification process that I was unable to do without my phone that was not with me. As a result I was unable to log in and pay my bill. Immediately upon returning home a few days later I attempted to login and was able to do so after several frustrating attempts. I contacted customer service as my bill was paid a few DAYS late and thus had incurred late fees. I was told that I was lying and had not attempted to access my account and that I was responsible for the late fee. Apparently now they can prevent you from logging in and then can charge you a late fee and interest charges? Absolutely ridiculous.

    I have been a long time customer of Capital One and paid my card off in full on December 5, 2017 and now I see an interest fee of 79.14. I requested a courtesy one time credit (which I have NEVER requested before) and they said that they can't. I asked for a reason and they stated that no one would be able to provide anything specific as there are several different factors that go into play. Seriously? I asked are you willing to lose a long time consumer not to help? They then provided me with instructions on how to go about closing my account online. What kind of customer service is this? There are A LOT of reviews from people having this same issue. Why is no one doing anything about this? My account is now cancelled with Capital One and I certainly hope there are a lot more that will stand up.

    I opened a secured account with Capital One in March of 2017. I made the deposit over the phone using my ach. The transaction was successful. I made my first payment also using the same ach account. The payment was successful processed but was returned because Capital One entered the wrong ach transaction. This happened on my account over and over again. I would always have to call Capital One and have a Supervisor handle the payment process. When I first contacted Capital One to open the account, I was told you would receive a increased credit limit after making 5 payments on time. My first payment was made on time but returned due to the payment being applied wrong. I was told by a Supervisor in April that since Capital One Process the payment wrong, it would not affect the status on my account.

    I checked my credit report and it showed all payments being made on time. In October of 2017, I contacted Capital One to inquire about the increase on my card. I was told because I missed a payment that I would be review in the 8th month from when I open the card provided I made all payments on time. This is not what I was told when I opened the account, but I was willing to wait. In December of 2017 I was given a increased credit limit. Now two weeks later, Capital One closed my account. They stated I had repeated returned payments, I stated that is because they process my payments wrong. Don't use their card. They are like robots and don't care about the customers at all only making money...

Had been too long since the last transaction, yet they issued a new card with the understanding it was going to be my primary card.

    Why would they do this??? Twice they told me how incredibly good my APR was. Hmmm... Oh, and I have an OLDER card that has never been used that is still open with a much higher APR. Coincidence?

    Don't get this card unless you want every vendor in your city to think you don't pay your bills, or if you actually need to rely on a card. We've been card members for over a decade and they continue to randomly deny charges and/or put a hold on our card, for things we've purchased before, for amounts that are well within our limits and spending patterns. When we call them, they tell us "Just call before you make big purchases." Here's a shocker - we don't want to call you every time we buy something. And, on an account where we regularly rack up thousands of dollars a month in purchases, a $300 appliance is not a "big purchase". They've also screwed up our account to the point where we now need "extra security measures" every time we call them.

    These measures are necessary for a problem that they admit they caused. It's also clear that even though this card includes an annual fee, don't expect decent service. The first line of folks who answer the phone, while usually friendly, can't actually do anything, and most often don't have English as their first language, making the discussion excruciating. Capital One *does* make it easy to cash in miles for travel. They just make it impossible to actually use the card. I guess all of their profits went to Sam Jackson ads rather than improving the product.

    I opened a Capital One bank account for a few different reasons. They just built and opened a new branch near me and there were a few other branches not far from my residence. I already had a credit card and wanted to maximize earning points towards travel. They were offering a one year free safety deposit box. Things were okay for a while. Then they decided to start closing the branches around me. The customer service reps don't know bank policy. You call up three different times with the same issue and you get three different answers. Finally the third time the issue gets resolved. They left one branch opened like 20 minutes to half hour away depending on traffic. Since it's the ONLY branch in the whole region, I can never get a bank manager. There's none available. I don't have an hour to wait.

    They did away with when I bank I get points toward travel. Which was my number one reason for opening a bank account with Capital One. In addition, the Venture card used to take off all travel expenses if I had the points. They changed that as well. Only air, Car rental and hotel. Which when I came back from Portugal vacation with over $500 in travel expenses they refused to apply the points. They instead rolled out a cash card. Never having warned loyal customers of the change in policy.

    And now they want you to do all your banking online. I'm assuming that's why they closed down the branches near me. Well, a lot of the time when I try to bank online, the system is down and having problems. I'm just waiting for my children to return home from college and I plan to change to Chase. They have many close branches and I do my father's banking for him. There never seems to be a problem getting online. Capital One dropped the ball in customer service and banking services.

Long story short I missed a payment and they dinged my credit for a $25 missed payment. My credit score dropped 100+ points. I was promised by a Capital One senior supervisor that they would dispute and get the negative ding removed. I received a letter a couple weeks later stating that they would do nothing.

    I just paid off one of my Capital One credit cards IN FULL and BY THE DUE DATE and couldn’t believe it that I was charged additional interest after the fact. I have always been made to understand that if you do not pay the total balance by the due date, then you will be assessed interest. Not HEY! PAY IT OFF AND WE WILL CONTINUE CHARGING INTEREST!

    It may seem silly to be so upset over $6.40, but this is absolute highway robbery. I then call in and was met with hostility after being told that there were no current "offers" to remove fees from my account. Seeing as I have had 0 late payments and have ALWAYS paid well above the minimum, I was baffled by what it would take for someone, like myself, to merit an "offer" to remove an interest charge that I never deserved! I first dealt with the chat line for several minutes. Next I was transferred to a customer service rep (and I use that title very loosely because definitely no customer service was provided) that person couldn’t help me and transferred me to SR Supervisor Julia in the VA office. If she is representative of your SR SUPERVISORS, that’s very alarming. Very poor customer service and refused to help or transfer me to someone who could help. She informed me that I didn’t have any offers available to waive this erroneous interest charges.

    What LAW states you cannot remove a ridiculous interest fee?? I then insisted on speaking with her manager. She literally argued back and forth with me that her manager does not speak to customers, she refused to contact her manager on my behalf and then sat there in silence while I stated I would hold to speak to her manager. She refused to help waive this ridiculous interest!

    In what world does a credit card company treat a customer with such hostility over a $6.40 interest charge. I am so livid with this company and cannot believe how unimportant I was made to feel and how unprofessional they are. I will not use any of my Capital One credit cards again. Hope it’s worth it to them to lose a customer over $6.40 erroneous interest charge.

All of a I decided I wanted to pay $5 more so what they did they added a dollar on there to make me be late and pay late fees on top of that. I got that straightened out and took care of it so I had the representative to make it $60 so I can be ahead. I guess you know they turned around. Made me late again saying my minimum payment was $75 then you look again my minimum payment $100. Turn around the next night a hundred and $24 all the way from $45 minimum payment up to $124. They saying I have been late every month and I cannot get no answer from anyone. They laugh. They hang up.

    When I ask them for something they tell me to spell it. I told them I record every phone call of the representative hung up on me because I was recording them no representative can tell you the same thing. I had talk to between four different ones and no one have told me the same thing. I also asked them for corporate number. They said they didn't have corporate number so the last representative tried to give me the address talking right fast and I told him that's okay because I was recording this phone call as well so at this point I am going to try to get in contact with corporate co. wherever they may be and I'm going to make my complaints and I'm going to let them know if I can't get no answer or they do something about these representing to keep changing my payments and keep charging me late fees.

    They did deposit the money back to my account but it took almost 7 days to resolve the issue that is 3 days on top what they promised and also after I called them third time.

    I had an issue with the check that I deposited last week. The bank withhold my account as the check, they said came from a closed account. This was not the case though as I verified with the person who issued me the check. After talking to the representative I was told that I will get money in my account by this Friday (12-15-17). When I checked my account, I have $365.42 in my account but I still have no available balance in my account yet. Today (12-16-17) I called the customer service to resolve my issue. The lady transferred me to this number 866-399-8973.

    I provided the info. (with my account number) to a lady name rep. Joslyn. She refuse to help and I asked her to transfer my call to a her supervisor and refused, was really rude for no reason and said that I need to call my branch. It was past 12 and on Saturday and the branch was closed so I insisted that, "You need to resolve it," and she said "I hear that you are talking to someone at the background and you need to call your branch". She kept saying it and I asked for her ID# and name. She provided with her first name which is Joslyn and refused to transfer me to her supervisor or even to assist me in any way.

    I have been a Capital One Venture Card customer for over 10 years. They sent a letter informing me that they were changing the reward system of their program from what I signed up for (from 2 points per dollar to 1.5 miles per dollar). I called the company and told them I wanted to cancel the card if I could not remain on the same program. They told me I could stay with the same rewards program and gave me a contact person and case number for my records. Four years later, I find they never made the change.

    I contacted Capital One and was directed to a representative with Executive Resolutions who investigated the issue. She took more than 3 weeks to get back to me with news that they could not verify the representative's name or the case #. They offered me a $50 credit and 5,000 miles. Considering I spend over $40,000 a year always paying my bill in full, I expected greater service than this and felt like they basically said I was lying to them. I am now looking for a new credit card company who wants my business and will honor their word. I am very disappointed in a company I recommended to others. Beware.

    It's been almost close to a year and they still cannot figure out where they went wrong. I've proven it to them but having all these unprofessional youngsters working for them and laughing on the phone putting me on hold 4 hours has made this a nightmare. I have spoken to supposedly manager but to me they all seem to be high school students that really do not know how to treat matters that are very important to any consumer that has their credit on the line because of these mistakes. I have also read the other consumer complaints and I've noticed that this problem is a ongoing mistakes or maybe they're not mistakes. Maybe that's just the way this company works because I've seen other consumer reviews with the same problems same situations but in different states.

    I was willing to even pay off my account 'cause that's what I always do. I don't ever make payments of monthly payments. I just paid all off so that I don't have to owe any money and I can use my credit card again. How is it that I have a $400 limit maximum limit and right now my bill is over $500. Does not make sense. I can understand if I would have like overdraft protection or if I would have a link bank account I can see that happening me going over but usually when I reached $400 it won't let me go any further. It all declined my purchase. Now they are claiming that I called for a dispute. I never called for the dispute yet they cannot tell me who entered the dispute or who created the dispute. They just tell me that I talked to spoke to manager which I did but I did not speak to the manager for dispute purpose.

    I spoke to the manager to actually see what I can do because I knew that some money was going to be reversed to my account but it was going to take time and I needed that money immediately so they created they but it was going to take time and I needed that money immediately. So that manager was kind enough to give me $50 in which I quote she said it was going to be customer courtesy. I didn't have to pay it back. With that said she wasn't able to create a dispute because it wasn't a dispute. She was aware of that that money was going to be reversed so it's not a dispute. We hung up the phone. I had the $50 in my account which I am grateful for. Thank you. But then I receive my statement and it shows on the same date that the manager put the $50 into my account it shows as they had open a dispute claim without my consent nor knowledge of this dispute.

    So they allegedly claimed that they reversed some cash into my account and that I was able to use it and that I used it for some purchases which is not true. Again I was never aware of this claim that they opened on their own will without my consent or knowledge. I've been on the phone with these people for hours and hours and never get to any conclusions because they're really rude and will even hang up on you. I've also requested to hear my record the recording where I requested a claim and they tell me that I will get a short notice to let me know when it's available. I've never got that noticed.

    What I find really interesting is in the beginning of each phone call and let you know that you will be recorded for quality purposes and if you try to do the same for that to them they say no. They cannot take the call. They do not want to be recorded. I wonder why. Wonder what they're worried so worried about and I wonder why they will not take my call. And even if I ask him to speak to a manager that will take my call they say no that no one in this whole building will be able to take a call while they're being recorded yet they can record all your conversations for themselves.

    So I think I'm going to take this to another level and let the news cast from my local news take care of this situation and make a little report on this credit card company that keeps wasting my time and never solving my issues. Maybe like this they will consider hiring more professionals rather than these high schoolers from people that are just trying to do their hours for community services because that's what it seems like they're hiring. Is she considered people that are more serious and realize that this is an important issue because it can affect people's credits which I'm sure they probably don't even care about or have. Now if anybody from the Consumer Affairs can do something about this I would appreciate it. And you can also look at my account. I'll let you authorize you to look through my statements and see what kind of payments I was making.

    I'm not a person that makes late payments. I was a person that makes full amount of payments but when you have an amount that's over your maximum it puts my red flag. Oh and last but not least I can surely and most definitely guarantee that they write notes for every one of the phone calls in which the year when your number pops out they get to see all your account and notes and they automatically have an attitude without even saying hello yet they're already giggling or have some kind of attitude about whatever question you have. So do not go through Capital One especially if you're the type of person that doesn't really check your statements or doesn't have time to be on the phone for hours arguing about something you did not authorize nor were you aware of.

    I just paid off one of my Capital One credit cards and was met with shock when I saw that I was charged additional Interest after the fact. I have always been made to understand that if you do not pay the total balance by the due date, then you will be assessed interest. Not HEY! PAY IT OFF AND WE WILL CONTINUE CHARGING INTEREST!

    It may seem silly to be so upset over $10.95, but this is absolute highway robbery. I then call in and was met with hostility after being told that there were no current "offers" to remove fees from my account. Seeing as I have had 0 late payments and have ALWAYS paid well above the minimum, I was baffled by what it would take for someone, like myself, to merit an "offer" to remove an interest charge that I never deserved! I first dealt with a computer for 10 minutes. Next I spoke to someone who could barely speak English and didn't appear to even understand what he was saying. I was assured that they would take care of it and I wouldn't need to pay, he just needed to get me to a Manager.

    He transferred me to LISA - ID# ** who advised that I then stated I needed to speak with a manager who did have the power to fix this. I was transferred to Ember - ID# ** in Florida. She immediately said she would be happy to see if I had any offers available to waive this and that offers were created to be fair to all consumers according to the LAW. What LAW states you cannot remove a ridiculous interest fee?? I then insisted on speaking with her Manager. She literally argued back and forth with me that her Manager does not speak to customers, she refused to contact her manager on my behalf and then sat there in silence while I stated I would hold to speak to her manager. She refused to help waive this ridiculous interest!

    In what world does a Credit Card company treat a customer with such hostility over a $10.95 interest charge. State numerous times regarding "carrying a balance" like I am a bad customer for having a balance on my credit card?! Last time I checked, my life and balance have nothing to do with my paying off the balance and not deserving ANY more charges on my credit card. I am so livid with this company. I cannot wait to pay off all balances and never do business with them again!!

Secondly they send me a card with a much lower limit than my previous card.

    Me and my husband share an account with Capital One and he is a primary cardholder. It's been more than few times we had a problem to access online account to see the balance and print out the statements. The system update was not working properly and almost each time we had to change password, because the previous one somehow did not work, which caused to late payments and penalties. Last time when we had to change the password again it looked liked it worked, but then another window open with note: "The specified URL cannot be found". It takes too much time just to figure out my balance??? My husband left and I ended up calling customer service for my balance.

    They have voice auto attendant system, maybe it good, but only if customers are presented with a clear, natural and brand-consistent voice. If you have some background sounds it's not working, so after 3-4 attempts I was transferred to a customer rep. Due to me not being a primary card holder I could not verify my balance to pay out, only the primary card holder was able to hear this amount. Probably it was not very important that I can use the same account for spending, but definitely I can't pay the balance! Summary: Spend long time to access online account with not successful password change and calling customer service- "resolved" by not getting the balance, not able to transfer money to pay my debt most likely penalties for the late payment.

    I do not recommend banking with Capital One. I went to file a BBB complaint & a note asked that consumers first contact a specific individual in the Capital One Office of the President. Going that route, Capital One ended up stringing me along for several weeks, until I gave them a deadline and said if they hadn't corrected the issue by a certain date, I would file suit. The rep, Leiah, contacted me by my deadline and stated they would be crediting my account the $300 in losses their actions cost me. One week later, Leiah went silent, and I got a call from another employee, David, who stated Capital One would NOT be crediting me the $300 they cost me.

    I am not happy about the headache and time a lawsuit is going to cost me. I'd made a $10,000 transfer from my Capital One account. My account was valid, the deposits verified and confirmed. The money had been transferred. The transfer was part of a promotion from M&T Bank that would award me $250 if I kept it in the account for "X" months.

    When I got my M&T statement, it showed I had 51 cents in my account. Without my knowledge or permission, Capital One reversed the transfer several days after It had already been transferred. NO NOTICE WHATSOEVER. And for 10 days, my $10,000 was totally missing from BOTH accounts due to this transfer (thank God there wasn't an emergency and I needed access to my money).

    Then, to add insult to injury, because Capital One reversed my funds without telling me, M&T imposed two $25 fines for having a balance fall below $10,000. The people answering Capital One's customer service line lied to me and made up stories about the transfer, which I was able to disprove, through concrete evidence. Then, Leiah in the Office of the President strung me along for several weeks using all the right language, assuring me this would be resolved. By my deadline, she eventually confirmed they'd looked at all of information and would be reimbursing me the $300 in losses they cost me.

    After a week of checking my account and noticing the funds never arrived, I received a call from someone else at Capital One (David) stating they would NOT be crediting my account the $300. David stated it was because I supposedly had the option to transfer the $10,000 back to the M&T account to avoid the $25 fees. I explained to him what Leiah had indicated she clearly understood: That I could not have re-transferred funds that I was unaware had ever been removed from my account.

    One $25 fine had been imposed before I ever knew Capital One had taken my 10 grand, and by the time I found out, I was in another bank cycle, and by the bank terms, another $25 would already be imposed for that cycle (though it had not yet shown on my bank statement, since the cycle had not ended). I then hung up on David, as I am done with Capital One wasting my time. The only reason my account is still open is so that I have access to my records for the lawsuit.

    I got my card about 8 months ago and my card has been hacked twice now. My card got hacked less than 3 months after I received my card and again today (12/7/17). Both times the card was used for online purchases. At least this time they blocked the charge. But are you kidding me? Getting hacked even once is a joke. I have had cards from 10 years ago that have never been hacked. This is such a pain to have to reconnect all my accounts that I have put on auto-pay with this card. If it happens again I'm switching to a different company. Not worth having to go through this hassle every few months.

    Pros: You get a lot of points (have yet to use it and see if they even honor the points), my credit limit is 15k, get alerts instantly when I make purchases. I have set this to a very low amount so if my card gets hacked I will know. Cons: Got hacked 2 times in 8 months, interest rate is outrageous at 24% even though I pay my entire balance off each month (they increased it from 20% to 24% recently).

    In August, 2017, I disputed a charge by a merchant due to their failure to perform house cleaning duties I hired them to do. Initially, I sent in screenshots of text messages exchanged with the merchant wherein they admitted they failed to perform the duties, not once but twice and they even offered a free carpet cleaning service after the second incident. These screenshots were sufficient enough for Capital One to issue a "temporary" credit to my account. The merchant then submitted documentation which resulted in the charge being applied to my card again. (I have asked for this documentation twice, once was in writing, and I have yet to receive anything.)

    In October, 2017, I was told by Capital One that I needed additional documents, which included a second opinion from another cleaning company. By this time, I had already cleaned the house myself and moved in so I asked the representative how I was supposed to get a second opinion and I was advised to send in a detailed letter along with date-stamped photos I had of the failed work. I then provided a detailed letter addressing each bullet point along with the date-stamped photos and the previously provided screenshots of text messages, and it was still insufficient.

    I had a very uneasy feeling so I decided to pay off the entire balance owed in anticipation of Capital One not issuing a refund. I spoke to a representative yesterday (12/04/17), I was told Capital One insisted that I obtain a second opinion! I immediately closed the account. I have had this account for approximately 8 years and only 1 late payment due to being evacuated for a hurricane and Capital One sided with a merchant over their own customer.

    I'm going to cut to the CHASE here (ironically I'm switching back to CHASE BANK) - this is the most irritating bank account I have ever had. Every time I pay the rent or my credit cards or even swipe my card to make a purchase they take the money out, then it shows as a pending transaction, and it tells me the "available balance" but then, they put the money back into the account where it doesn't show like you ever made those transactions at all. A few days later it goes back to pending and you have a different "available balance" because we went on with your life assuming that your initial available balance under pending is what you have to spend.

    THEN it finally posts. But the thing is that if you do not have the money by the time it goes back to pending, it overdrafts the account because. I have never had this type of problem with Wells Fargo or Chase. For example, let me give you my current situation: (assuming that I have 1400 on my account) On November 30th, I made a payment for rent with the total of 1200. When I made that payment, it showed on my checking account as a pending transaction, therefore, I was able to see how much money I had left in order for me to know how much I could spend (200).

    So, I go about my day and spend 10 in fast food, $5 in ice cream and $20 in gas for my vehicle, which should leave me with $165. The day after that I spend $65 on at a bar with a couple of friends which leaves me now with $100 in my account for me to be able to use. Right? WRONG!!! When going to my account two days later. I had an available balance of $1300 in my account but there was no such thing as pending transactions for the drinks the ice cream the rent or even the freaking gas I put on my vehicle. Obviously, this happened to me before so I transferred $400 from my savings to my checking to use. Because I DID NOT WANT MY ACCOUNT TO OVERDRAFT.

    So, I now should be having on my account $100 remaining plus 400 and rent should be taken about with no problem. Right? WRONG! Now, rent is back in pending. Everything else has been taken away and whatever transaction I did from before rent and before my ice cream and drink is taken out. So I actually don't have what they said I had from the get-go. I have less so my freaking check bounced for rent. So basically $1200 DISAPPEARED and I'm gonna be late for rent plus the check bounce fee. Obviously, they close at this time so, I cannot fix my issue.

    You going to have to read this a couple of times to understand because it is as confusing for me to understand it and know how much money I actually have in my account. It is ridiculous and annoying. I do not recommend this back to anyone even if they didn't have another option. I went ahead and took all my money out of my savings and as soon I get my direct deposit, I am done with Capital One banking.

The request is passed on, let the computer deal with it or it sits in computer until account is in the rears. But your bill cycle and fees are going up daily.

    I had this credit card account with Capital One for a year and a half and I had no history of late payment. When I left the US, I paid off my bill in full from my bank account through the Capital One portal. My bank account was active for a long time and you know what? The payment I made from the Capital One portal got failed due to a technical error on their end and I didn't even know about it (Of course I didn't track my bank account for a while after returning to my home country). No emails from Capital One about the failure of payment or the bill amount due. It looks like they sent letters to my postal address (where I wasn't living anymore LOL). I made sure I sent them an email about my leaving the country and that I have made my payment, of course I didn't receive any response for that.

    There was not a single notification about it to me over my email and these guys sent it to a collection agency. I returned to the US after 2 years and received a letter from the collection agency asking me to pay the money due (which was more than twice of what I owe). After thorough browsing of the documentation they had, I figured out that it was a problem from their (Cap One) end. Of course, I settled up the balance (and only what I owed because that was a fault from their end and they didn't notify me over email nor did they respond to my email mentioning the payment either). I have this collection on my account and will be there in the history for few more years. Crappy company! For the past few weeks, they have been sending me letters about good offers on prequalified credit cards applicable for my credit. Shameless people!

    I’ve had a Capital One checking account for about 25 months now. All was well until a hold was placed on my account. I’ve taken all of the necessary steps needed to have this hold removed from my account however, Capital One hasn’t responded to my case, I’ve been calling for over a month now and the only answer I get is, "We will get back to you in 24-48 hours". Well it’s been just over 330 hours since and my account is still on hold.

    I’ve spoken to 5 account Supervisors and 3 bank and about 10 phone operators. I've only received 1 phone call from Capital One in which it seems it was only to wish me happy birthday on 11-25-17 but still no help on my account. No one seems to know how to fix my problem. Everyone is just sending my case to the next Supervisor after the next and the next. This is very disturbing.

    I was on hold for an extended period of time before Customer service submitted my complaint. I then had to wait a week before receiving a message that my funds had been released after 3 days and there was no error. This was not true and after another extended hold customer service had me hold even longer so a manager could tell me hold was normal and despite not being notified of it, the bank was still not at fault.

    Initial large transfer was held for 7 days despite being notified that it would be 2-3 business days and funds were posted and confirmed after only 2 days. This caused me $150 in late fees and a bad mark with my landlord. All management would say is that this hold is normal for new accounts and would not apologize for not notifying me to expect the hold. I have never had an EFT take more than 2 days and suspect this is a ploy for the bank to make money off float interest.

    I recently got a Capital One Quicksilver Mastercard to use for travel and to get cash back on my purchases. In preparing for a trip to Europe, I charged Euros at a cash exchange. Capital One not only charged me interest but also a "cash advance" fee. Bottom line is that I paid over 4% for the use of the cash for 3 weeks. That's roughly 65% annually. So the good news for Capital One is that they got a LOT of money for this transaction. The bad news is that they won't get their returns on about $9k in charges each month. Way to go Capital One!

    I called for a third time in 3 months because they were charging me interest for a third time. The first time, I had a balance of $8000. I paid by mistake $7950 instead of the $8000. So because of that balance of $50, they charged me $165 in interest. The second time, they charged me $113 that they gave me back, because they changed their system, and all the alerts I used to received were gone. Because of that, when I finally paid the balance, they charged me interest one more time, because the difference in the statement date and the pay date (another 20 days). All three times, their customer service experience was deplorable. Very unfriendly guys. It is the first time that I had so much troubles with a credit card.

    Unless your credit is in the basement, and even if it is, you should not be doing business with this predatory company. I knew Capital One was the most complained about company and should have known better. Accepted a card I was approved for online and used it. Then suddenly my card was mysteriously rejected for “fraudulent activity” as happens often to Capital One credit users. They insisted I send in my driver's license after I answered security questions correctly, which no other credit card requires and you should never do.

    Sending a copy of your driver's license to the shadies at Capital One make you a target of identity theft. Traveling? Collecting points? They will cancel your card without explanation and leave you in dark. My credit is still excellent but they did THREE hard inquiries rather than one done by most companies which will lower your score. They prey on the uninformed and desperate and are the most complained about credit card company for a reason. Walk don’t run from this shady predator.

    I detected fraud on my account and called Capital One. The woman was helpful and told me my credit number was now deactivated and she would send me a new card in a few business days. I said I'm sorry I can not wait that long I want it overnight. She told me she is unable to overnight it she needs to speak to a supervisor. I said ok please put in a order for a new card and speak to a supervisor regarding when it can come and just send it out because I need it. Three days later, still no card received. I log in online and see it says Account Restricted. I received no notice of this by phone or email. It was just by chance that I logged in. I called up Capital One and after being on the line with an incompetent representative, I asked for a supervisor and was transferred. While I was on hold, the call disconnected.

    I called again and spoke for a few min with a representative who was not being helpful at all. I asked to be transferred to a supervisor and was put on hold for TWENTY FIVE minutes, when I finally got through I was told me my identification must once again be verified and she can not give me any information before I do that. I asked her which information that will be since I gave my card number, security code, ss number, address, and phone number. She said she needs to ask me questions based on public records and I said ok. I answered her question and she said she needs me to send her a picture of the front and back of my photo id.

    At this point I asked to be transferred to a US representative, she was able to verify for me through a SIMPLE code to my email. She then told me that the agent from a few days had given me wrong information and my card was never cancelled nor was a request for a new card put in for me! Basically they wasted 4 days! And she still refused to have my card overnighted. Capital One needs to give better training to their representatives! They wasted my time!

I was very concerned that it didn't show on my account. She assured me it would show up the next day even though that payment was made 2 days before the other payment that did show up. She also said the balance showing online was the true balance but it didn't add up.

    The next day the payment still didn't show online so I talked to an online rep who told me the same exact thing. I am missing a $500 payment to my account that Capital One stole from me.

    Wow - where to begin? I haven't ever had a problem with Capital One card services or customer service until October-November of 2017; they have waived late fees, eliminated erroneous interest charges, adjusted billing cycles, and allowed overlimit purchases. I always pay my balance in full every month, and have had pleasant experiences with employees and supervisors. Recently, due to the hurricanes in the Gulf and Southeast, Capital One deferred credit reporting to the bureaus due to many people's inability to make their payments; that's nice, but they did not notify their customers and the result for me has been a failure to report accurate information since July, 2017. Because of this, my credit score has stagnated.

    I had to call and "opt-in" to regular credit reporting. Next, their "system" for processing credit line increases for the GM BuyPower card is not functional. I called on October 31st, and an account supervisor manually submitted the request to the underwriting team - or so I thought. When I called on November 19th to request a status update, Capital One has no record of my request; this means the "manual submission" is a farce to appease disgruntled customers. I was advised to check back in 3-6 months for an update regarding their credit limit increase "processing system" - the same line of garbage I was fed over the summer, when I was told credit increases were unavailable for the GM BuyPower card.

    Lastly, and most important, is my interaction with the ignorant, disrespectful, incompetent employee who goes by the name of Dehja. She continually cut me off and talked down to me for the duration of our conversation. She refused to give me any information regarding the credit limit increase or credit bureau reporting - she actually stated that it was up to the bureau to report the information, and not Capital One. Did I mention that Dejha is also a liar? And a poor one, at that. At the end of our conversation, she arrogantly encouraged me to close my account - since I was having "so many issues" - and even gave me the payoff amount, and aggressively inquired as to the date I would be making my "final" payment. This dotard needs to be fired, and you need to find a different creditor!

When I was able to contact CO and get online, I saw that I had been charged multiple late fees (and I am sure bad credit reports). Because my payment was arriving within some "two day window" it was deemed late for one month but not early for the next! When I spoke with someone about this, they did offer to refund one month of fees, but not the others - even though I had sent more than the minimum payment every month.

    Unfortunately for me, I had selected the "send date" that was one day too late to be credited for that month, but one day too early for the next! ARGHH!! They refused to show any mercy for my mistake, and held fast to their argument that being late for one month could not count as being early for the next!! RE: Victoria, Sr. Acct.

    Let me begin by saying I am relatively new to the whole credit card world out there and my experience for some people might be like "It is no big deal". But I want a place to voice my opinion and hope that the experience I share will probably be of help to another novice like me. I was pre-approved for a CO credit card and decided to accept the offer. A couple of days later, I was asked to send my documents (Driver's License & SSN card) for verification. I sent the documents via Fax as suggested by one of their customer care representative for speedy processing. Nevertheless, I still mailed my documents as well just to be sure about it. I called CO to let them know that I Faxed my documents and wanted to know if they received it but the customer care representative told me someone has to update it on file and she is not sure if CO has received my documents. She asked me to wait for a few days and I patiently did.

    Four days after sending my documents, my application was declined. I called CO and they told me that the Fax they received was too dark for them to verify my details and asked me to mail my documents. I told them I sent it the same day I faxed the documents and they asked me to follow up with them in a week. After 8 days, again, my application was declined. This time I was furious. I checked the details and this time they came up with a new attack mechanism - Couldn't verify your credit score. I know I don't have a credit score yet but why didn't CO check that before sending me a pre-approved Credit card? They claimed that I have a good credit history and so they are sending me a pre-approved credit card, but did they actually check my credit history? Because if they did, they would have realized I do not have a credit score yet. Ignorance of facts from Day 1 is all I can say about CO.

    I called them numerous times and with incompetent representatives taking calls, it is nothing but hell to deal with CO. The supervisor refused to answer anything. I wanted to send a feedback about my experience to the upper management and guess what? You can't! You need to hold an account with CO to do so and for probably-will-become-customers like me who get duped and involved in the horrific mess CO has created, there is simply no place to voice your opinion!

    I recently moved to the Dallas area and needed to open a local bank account and the checking 360 account seemed like a good option. Several things happened which made me close my account after one month. First, because I recently moved I did not have direct deposit set up for work right away so I needed a bank account to access my first paycheck. I specifically asked if the funds would be available within two business days and the banker said "yes," but I was disappointed when it took 10 business days to access any of my deposit. The bank manager was apologetic about the miscommunication her team had given me but that's all she could offer.

    Second, when I tried setting up external transfers I received an error message that Capital One could not verify my phone # and I had to call Capital One support. The rep was very nice but said due to a system glitch I was unable to set up any external account to my 360 account for money transfers. There was apparently nothing she could do.

    On top of all this, I never received a debit card in the mail in order for debit transactions to be made. I waited three weeks before I started to get annoyed. I literally had no way to access the money put into my account for nearly a month! I went to close my account today and was told I had to withdraw all my money from the account in order to close it... I had no means to do so. I was also told upon closing that my debit card was supposed to arrive 2-3 business days after I had opened the account... but still no sign of a debit card. I was hoping this would have been a good company to take my banking to but it has been nothing but a headache and kept me from accessing money in that account.

    On June 30, 2017, Capital One sent us a letter asking for us to update my wife's street address as per government regulations. The letter said that we had until August 17, 2017 to reply or our MasterCard account would be closed. On July 5, 2017 we contacted Capital One at their 1-800-227-4825 number listed on the letter. We spoke with Randall, at 12:51 pm. We updated the street information on the card and Randall informed us that he would be sending out new credit cards to us within 4-6 days. The Cards were shipped out to us on July 15, 2017. Randall was an overseas operator and now no longer works for the company.

    On October 21, 2017, we received a letter from Capital One stating that our account was closed because "We didn't receive the information we requested, and unfortunately, that resulted in your Capital One credit card being closed." Our account had been open since 2001. I called Capital One on October 21, 2017 and spoke with Elizabeth and informed her that we had provided the information requested to Capital One on July 5, 2017. She stated that it appeared that Capital One had made an error and she would make a request for review. Elizabeth was an overseas operator and now no longer works for Capital One.

    On October 30, 2017, I spoke with Teresa. I told her what had happened and was asking if Elizabeth had followed through on my request that the cancellation of my card be reviewed and replaced with a new card and a new account. Teresa said she showed no record notes of my conversation with Elizabeth on October 21, 2017. Teresa said that she would review my information and call me back on October 31, 2017. On October 30, 2017, I wrote a letter to the President of Capital One, detailing their error.

    On October 31, 2017, Teresa called me back and confirmed all of the information that I had provided and verified that I had indeed provided our street address on July 5, 2017, to Randall. She believed that our street address was improperly input into the computer in lower case letters instead of upper case letters. She acknowledged that it was Capital One's error and she would submit my request to have the account reviewed and reopened. She said she would contact me in 10 to 15 days.

    Today is November 15, 2017, and Teresa did not call, so I called Capital One for an update. I was informed by Jannelle that Capital One could not confirm that I had contacted them on July 5, 2017, which was contrary to what Teresa had told me. I told Janelle, if she would check her records, she would discover that Capital One issued brand new cards to us on July 15, 2017, as a result of our contact with Randall, on July 5, 2017. Randall, told us that he updated my wife's street address information and he would be ordering new cards be sent to us in "4 to 6" days. Janelle checked the records and discovered that the new cards were issued on July 15, 2017.

    I discussed with Jannelle how a credit card company erroneously cancelling a credit card can negatively impact one's credit score. I also told her that what she was telling me was contradicted by other employees. She replied that once the credit card account is closed, as per federal regulations, the account could not be reopened. She said, "We can't do anything for you." So there you have it. Capital One Bank, in my opinion, is the most disorganized, poor record keeping, incompetent banking institution that I have ever dealt with in my entire life. I have never in my life received such poor, apathetic, customer service. I'm still waiting to hear from the President of Capital One. Invest in Capital One? Not a chance. I told Janelle that.

    I've had Capital One for a little over a year now. I have a limit of $300 and make monthly payments of $25. Nothing I can't handle. Well, I am in Florida and was in the direct path of Hurricane Irma. My kitchen flooded, power was out for a few days, fence almost went through the window but thankfully it was boarded. Capital One offered financial help. They gave me $100 in credit and took $50 off of my total. They did the same for my sister. I had the money in my account for a few days, about a week- when I bought a pot/pan set since our kitchen suffered quite a bit of damage.

    After another couple of days/week- I see that I've been charged $100. I called and they explained that they meant to give me only $50. So they screwed up and I had to pay back $100 that I didn't have. They would not fix it. Fine. So I've been paying it back, four months to fix their mistake. I've finally gone back under my $300 limit and now I've been charged a member fee for $40. So I am over my limit once again. They made a mistake and now I am constantly in debt.

    Lost my job. Bills piled up. Cancelled my credit card with CO due to their hidden fees. Was with them for about 6-7 months. Told them I would only make a payment as much as I can every month. Made 2 payments past 2 months $58 and $25 and still add more fees! Damn crooks, debit cards are better. You don't have to worry about paying back. Put some money aside for ERS. That's it.

    I applied for my MC, got my credit line, and got an increase the following year. Everything seemed fine. Throughout that second year, I made purchases almost every month, but paid everything off (not the entire balance, but something like this: (example) buy $20 shoes, pay them $50 more than the minimum; spend $45 on we, pay them back the minimum plus $150 more. And yet, every month, the minimum due would increase until it was $59 every month JUST to keep my credit afloat, along with an "interest charge: purchases" of almost $40. Even though I always paid back for my purchases??

    For the past three months, I have not used the credit card AT ALL, and have paid the minimum bill. In spite of that, Capital one continues to charge me nearly $40 (same amount as before) with the charge titled "Interest charge: purchases" even though I have not used the card for 3 months? So they are charging me nearly $60 every month as a minimum, PLUS taking away nearly $40 off of that minimum so that they can fatten their filthy rich bellies while my balance never goes down because all of my hard-earned money is sucked away by their ridiculous interest!! Even when I gave them $150 more than that minimum, they STILL charge me the same (if not more) interest!! Pathetic!! Do NOT get a card from them unless you want to give away your money for free (and for years!)!!

    This is the worst company to ever get credit with. I made some purchases and I made a cash advance. I could not believe that barely a fifth of my payment was going towards my principal. I inquired why is this and they explained that I'm paying 2 separate interest rates for 2 separate balances for one credit card. They were charging me extreme interest rate for my purchases and another interest rate for my advanced cash. That's ridiculous. I decided to pay the $4100 balance off and a month later they sent me a bill for closing interest rate charges indicating that even though I paid off my balance and closed my account, I had 3 weeks of interest rates that continued to accumulate and I was responsible for.

    I was approved for a credit card soon after Hurricane Harvey, which I was extremely affected considering I live in Houston. The money was well needed. I strive to always pay any loans/credit on time. I signed up for auto pay 4 days before my payment due date, to ensure I did not forget. I did not pay ahead of time because I was waiting to get paid again the Thursday before my due date.

    Well, Monday came and I notice my account balance was higher than what it should be. The auto-pay did not take out the money which I authorized ahead of time. I sat on the phone with customer service and they assured me there was nothing they could do even though they could see that it was an innocent error. I counted on their system to take my money on time and instead they punished me and added an additional fee. Mind you this was 2 days after my payment was due, I called to ask why they didn't take my money, it’s not like I was trying to avoid paying. Nevertheless, I cancelled my card and I'll never use them again and will pay them off when I feel like it. Until then... screw you Capital One. Astros won the World Series anyways! Go Stros!

    Over a month ago I discovered I had dropped my MC card in Costco. No one turned it in so I called to stop the card and order ordered a replacement card. After 45 minute wait I was put through hoops for ID because I didn't have the card number and then told they would have to talk to my husband because he was the main cardholder! We asked it be expedited, was told it would be rushed. One month later it had still not arrived. We called customer service and were on hold for 20 minutes. The rep finally came on and said there had been an error AND mailing delay and tried to connect me with a supervisor. Another 20 minutes later still no supervisor - I was very angry by that time but the poor guy kept checking back and was doing his best. Another 10 minutes till one came on.

    He was very sorry but my card must be lost in the mail. He couldn't expedite one to me because they had a new system and there was no option working on it for expediting. He had to cancel this new missing card and I would have to wait at least 10 days for another! If it ever gets here. What a gong show! PLUS we went to pay our statement on the 17th of the month, the regular due date, and discovered Capital One had suddenly changed the date to the 14th! The day before most people get paid! Such a dirty way to do business. They make Costco look bad just for retaining such a sleazy associate, especially in such difficult economic times for the average family.

    Financial banking predators are raking in obscene amounts of profit - while giving nothing back but bare bones. Licked clean of everything they can hold back. Wait times are atrocious, service unreliable to say the least, and too cheap to offer express card delivery options. Save the excuses. It's the only thing they are really good at.

I had fallen into delinquency due to unemployment and had recently reached out to Capital One in order to make a payment and find out about relinquishing the restriction on my account. A woman with a thick Spanish accent had said that I am in luck and she had an offer for me that I would not be able to refuse.

    The following Monday which was the date I was set to pay I spoke to another representative who confirmed the same thing. 7 days after making the payment I have called to ask if the status of my credit card was available. I was informed by every representative that there was no record of an offer ever being made. I asked to speak to a supervisor but to no avail. I’m still waiting which now brings my total wait time to 4 hours. Are these people running a scam? This is a terrible way to treat someone who just spent 203.00 to bring an account current.

When he called me and I looked into it, I was told that Capital One had deactivated my account. The reason was business use. I explained that we actually were just in the middle of building our personal cabin and the expenses were not for business at all. I explained I thought it was horrible that we had not received a letter or a call to even discuss this. My husband could have been left stranded.

    I was literally told, that they were within their rights, not to apply again and that because we pay our account in full, they do not make enough money off us in interest and that we were accumulating too many travel credits. I have been escalated all the way to the Ombudsman and told the same thing over and over.

    I received the Capital One Credit Card as a result of Costco switching to them and all I can say is I'm gravely disappointed with Costco and Capital One. Costco what were you thinking... I never had issues like those listed below when American Express was the credit card of choice. The credit limit provided is often too small for most families. When you ask for an credit increase it can take up to a year even when you pay your bill in full each month and have impeccable credit history. Heavens forbid you wait until the last days before the bill is due to pay off your card. We made this mistake once and it took between 5 and 10 days for our bank transfer to reach Capital One.

    Recently we received our new credit cards and I've called Capital One on two separate occasions to be on hold for close to an hour. This contradicts the letter that is attached to your new credit cards which says you can activate all automated service. My wait was short compared to many customers but when you are told wait times are 5 or 7 minutes that's not okay. First time I spoke with a customer representative he took my information and eventually put me on hold so I could verify my new credit card PIN number. Additionally I was told as the primary cardholder this would activate my wife's new credit card even though their records stated that her card was already active (weird!). Guess what, neither card activated which lead me to call number two.

    The second call was the same as the first, wait, wait, wait and finally an operator. The man was pleasant and apologetic and he claimed the reason things did not work was their database was missing my occupation and employer. Surprise, this information was required to obtain my first credit card and is a mandatory required field when you apply for any credit card. After providing him this information he put me back to the automatize system so I could activate my new credit card PIN number. As for my activating my wife's new card I would have to call back in and go through the same procedure. Not cool! Well when the automatized voice came on it was to enter a PIN for my credit card which was expiring in just over a month. Not the new credit card.

    I hit 0 and back into the holding cue for another 25 minutes before I get another operator who refuses to put me to a supervisor. She then takes my info and explains that our new credit cards are no longer valid as they were a promotional credit card. Asking her what this means and she explained that I had until the end of August 2017 to activate. Well reading the form that the cards were attached to nothing said anything about activating immediately or about them being a promotional card. When I inquired what this promotional card was for she could not tell me.

    After another 10 minutes of her apologizing and explaining that they are very busy, the letter was incomplete and sorts I was assured that I would receive my new cards within the next business week. She then instructed me if I do not have them by the end of the following week to once again call back. Great, I'll be back on hold and nothing will be corrected. Thanks for nothing Capital One. I would never recommend to anyone and hope Costco will do the right thing and find another credit card company. If not I'll use my debit or other credit cards.

    I've been a customer for over 20 years. In May of 2017, I overdrew my account for the first time ever. When I called to see if there was an Overdraft protection plan, the man I spoke to told me yes. And he told me I could sign up and any time I was overdrawn, the bank would pay my shortage and then let me know so I would not be charged a $35.00 overdraft fee. He explained "We do authorize and pay overdrafts for your checking account and Automatic bill payments." That was it. I was all signed up. In September, I was overdrawn again, but I was charged $35.00. I called and said that I thought they were supposed to cover the amount I was over and let me know, so I would be able to correct it.

    At no time was I told that they charge the $35.00 as soon as they detect the overdraft. Why would I have signed up if they were just going to charge me the fee anyway? What would be the benefit to that? It changed nothing to protect me from being charged an overdraft fee. They told me it was written in the contract which I was supposed to have read and signed when I went into the branch to sign up. At no time, did I go into a branch to sign up for this feature and nobody told me over the phone about the conditions of the feature or ask me to sign an agreement or mail it to me to sign.

    Now, come September, I made an error in my account and was overdrawn, but thought it would be covered. Then I received a letter notifying me that I had overdrew 4 checks and was charged $35.00 for each transaction. I asked them to close my account and they said they couldn't when it was in a negative balance. But I needed time to call all of my creditors to switch around my payment instructions so I asked if they could just put a hold on any transactions in the meantime. They said no to that as well. So the following week I was barraged with letters practically everyday reporting overdrafts on top of overdrafts. Of course I wasn't doing this deliberately, but they had caused my account to fall into a negative balance because they were hitting me with overdraft fees on top of overdraft fees.

    I called customer service and a woman named Andrea was handling my case and explained to me that it was my fault because I signed an agreement when I went into the bank to sign up so I should have known what the terms were. I said I signed up over the phone, I never went into a branch and the terms were not explained to me over the phone nor was I mailed an agreement to sign. I don't know what she was talking about because her side of the story was completely false. So at that point, I had been charged $35.00/ 20 times and asked to please remove them so my account would go back to a positive balance. She said she would only reimburse me for 10 fees. What? I was not writing bad checks deliberately. I had no idea I was overdrawn until I received the letters notifying me of the conditions. So I put $700 into the account to bring the balance back to positive.

    However, automatic withdrawals were made and the balance went back into negative and I was charged an additional 21 $35.00 fees. As soon as this happened, I call the bank and requested that they please remove the charges and it would bring the balance back to positive. They said they would have to look into it but would let me know the next day. Well, that took another week and no-one called me back so I called again and they said they were working on it and would let me know the status the next day. Again, I did not hear from anyone. So I called again at the end of the week only to get the same answer that they hadn't finished working on it.

    Finally, after 4 weeks, I received a phone call from Andrea telling me that their attorneys determined that they would not be reimbursing me for the overdraft fees because according to them I read the agreement, signed the agreement and did so in the branch. This was a total lie. I don't know where they were getting their information from, but they were completely wrong. Now I am out over $300.00 and don't want to close the account until this money is reimbursed to me. I feel that the bank created this mess by refusing to accommodate me as a long standing, honest and well paying customer. This is an atrocity. Not only am I out the money, but I am totally disgusted with them as an honest banking institution. Can someone do something? Can I take them to small claims court to get my money?

    I have had a Capital One Spark business card for about 10 years. Never had much reason to contact them and card always seemed to work fine. I use Quicken to manage banking and credit cards and on Friday the 6th a charged of $15 was applied to the account for a missed payment. I spent more than an hour both on hold and getting cut off trying to reach someone but to no avail. By the way this was on a balance of $62. I finally got fed up and closed the account online. The total payment will arrived electronically today the 10th. This morning an interest charge of 5 cents posted to my account. Yes I missed making a payment due to an oversight but the fees charged are absurd and the lack of customer support availability is really bad. All of the ads on TV are questionable. Never again will I have anything to do with them or any company associated with them.

    I applied for a HELOC and provided all financial information asked for except I had one loan which is to be paid off next year in October 2018 and Capital One asked me to produce bank statements evidencing that I had more than $180,000 on account to make sure I could pay off the loan. They strung me along until the last minute and then denied the HELOC. I asked for 65K HELOC on real property worth $850,000 with a first of $415,000 and was told my account balance was too high and therefore an equity loan could not be given. They knew from day one that those were the balances, yet made me go through all their hoops and I wasted valuable time and effort and provided financial documents I would not have released otherwise but for their pre-approval.

    I signed up for the BuyPower card where there was a 0% intro APR. The intro APR expired and I noticed that every month they charged an interest fee of $27.15 for 10 months. I signed up for auto pay therefore, thinking it is good that I am making the payments. When I checked the last statement I received I was in shock!! I was charged a total of $269.99 for a purchase balance of $1274. This is ridiculous!! I called the customer service and asked them if they can waive the fee- other banks that I work with does not have any issues with this!!

    They told me first they can waive the last fee then changed their word. I talked to a supervisor named Dejha with ID: ** and she said we there is no fee waiver. I asked her how to earn the fee waiver or what is the criteria to get a fee waiver. She said, "We don't have the info to share with the customer." I told her this is a ripoff and I don't even know why I am not getting a fee waiver, as a supervisor she does not even know why I am not getting a fee waiver.

    Capital One Mastercard has the one of the worst customer experiences on this planet we call earth. I honestly don't know how they are in business. Also, they have tens of thousands of 5 star reviews on their website. Do they know it's illegal to write and publish fraudulent reviews? It can lead to jail time in New York State. I've been placed on hold day after day while trying to activate my Capital One Costco Mastercard. If I didn't like Costco so much I would have bailed. I fear Capital One is hurting Costco's reputation by offering horrid service while being attached to Costco's brand. In summary, Capital One sucks. They must hate their customers with a passion.

    When I finally got to a human he sounded angry. He was a man who hates his job. His hatred for his employer, Capital One, their customers and life itself was clearly communicated through his tone of voice. Capital one must treat their employees as poorly as they treat their customers. My recommendation when applying for a Capital One MasterCard. "DON'T!!!" There are a lot of better cards out there. After days and days of calling them I still don't have an active card. Capital One Mastercard SUCKS! If I could give a minus 5 star review I would.

I've never had this experience with other airline miles plans. The best way to go is to keep the credit card offered by the airline you usually fly. I will be cancelling my Capital One credit card.

    I am preparing for a surgery that will have an extended hospital stay. I proactively called to ask if they had a temporary plan that would not negatively impact me if I was late on a payment while in the hospital. I was given a plan option as my BEST option. What I was not told was that plan would immediately negatively impact my credit report and that in taking the program my credit card would be suspended and I would have to earn it back after 3 months of on time payments. I didn't have a problem making the payment due. I just wanted to be safe while I was in the hospital IF I missed a payment due to any circumstance of complication. Again I was just being proactive in my call to explore options.

    The plan that was suggested was not a suitable plan nor, in any way can Capital One support verbally or in writing how this plan was the BEST plan for the situation I proactively called about. Capital One continues to state that this was the BEST plan for my situation when factually when you outweigh the damages the presented plan created was NOT the BEST plan for my proactive call. This response from April from the Account Resolutions Center at ext ** is not only consumer hurtful. Is it downright deliberate in placing a customer in a FAR WORSE situation than if I just missed a payment and called to say I was in the hospital which I what I should have done now that I know all the hidden facts.

    Not only is it irresponsible as a company to eliminate the Protection Plan they had that consumers paid for, it is Capital One's failure to acknowledge the fact of customer service recommending deceitful plans that will hurt the consumer far worse that creates such a hateful attitude of contempt for this company.

    High fees, unexplained payments; Null, null, null, and one of the most disorganized customer services I have ever experienced. All in all, I have nothing good to say about this credit card company. Every time I call for help the customer service reps seem uninformed and will often times offer contradictory information. That is of course, when I can actually make out what they're saying, as many of them have such heavy accents that it is near impossible to understand what they are saying.

    In addition to this, my account has unknown/unregistered fees that no one can explain, yet will remain on the account. And finally, it is next to impossible to get your secured funds from this company. Of which, they advertised as "easy" on the documentation, but neglect to tell you that it will take up-to two months to reverse. During which time, they get to charge you interest on while you wait for the funds to be either; returned to you, or used as a payment - still not sure how this works by the way, as I was unable to get two people to agree to the same terms on the phone (everyone had a different version).

    And finally, Capital One has this really neat option where they will allow their customers to exceed their credit limit. After which, they then get to charge a service fee of 30 dollars. To which I'd add, how a company can charge someone interest and fees on a secured card is beyond me - but, lo and hehold, these guys managed to do it! Needless to say, I've concluded that the best option was to pay the card and close the account. - unfortunately, no stars was not an option

    I have been a Capital One customer for about 5 years. The card was to help me build my credit. I always tried to make my payments on time, and occasionally, I was a day late or a day early; but did my best. This past March, I called the Customer service department to let them know that I was having surgery and that I would be off of work for 8 weeks. I asked that she please leave a note on my account, as I would miss a few payments because I would not be at work. In the next 8 weeks, I got a few bills stating that my account was behind for payments, and to pay as soon as possible. Once I was feeling better, I called and explained that I did call before my surgery, but was receiving these notices. The gentleman at their end stated that no note was on my account and I needed to pay as soon as possible. I asked for the collection department and we were cut off.

    I call again, and explained again, and this time the credit department said to make a minimum payment, which I did. The next month I received another bill stating that no money was received, even though I paid online and has the Con #, so I call AGAIN, and had to go through the whole thing again with a new person. This time I asked to cancel my card. The woman said okay, it was cancelled. I asked that she send me a final bill and I would pay (minus my $75.00 deposit). No bill came for another month. Today I received a BILL stating that my account is overdue, and that my card is restricted!!! The card should be CANCELLED!!! So now I need to call again, and try to figure out why/how my card is not cancelled, and to ask them once again to cancel the card! Why is happening? Where is the business integrity?!

    I have been a Capital One customer for more than 10 years. I used to highly recommend them and appreciated them always being on the lookout for fraudulent activity and contacting me when necessary. However, in the last year, I have been highly disappointed. It has been a hassle to call Capital One for a variety of questions or to get answers. This was my most recent experience: I got on to pay my bill due in August 2017 on the day it was due. However, the website was down. I kept trying throughout the day and when it finally allowed me through, I was 2 hours past the closing time of 5 pm E.T.

    I am on the west coast and still paid in full before 5 pm. P.T. The next day, I called Capital One to discuss the late charge and interest fee that would accompany this even though I still submitted the payment (in full) the day it was due. I could prove that I did in fact get on to pay on the day it was due and so they waived the late fee and interest fee. I again paid my bill in full in September. However, the October 2017 bill arrived and I had yet another interest charge. I called to discuss and they told me there was nothing they could do. Even though they said they could see that I had been paying in full each month. When I asked to speak to someone that could do something about it, the "supervisor" told me he was the highest level person available and he did not have the power to override the charge. However, when I called the first time, I did not need to speak to a supervisor to get an override.

    I understand fully the importance of paying on-time and in full each month. I had no prior late payments and have paid in full for the past 10 years. I often over $2,000 on the card each month and pay in full. I no longer feel that Capital One values its customers that are in good standing or customers that have been loyal and have an excellent payment history. Therefore, I will take my business elsewhere and will no longer recommend them to anyone. I'm not sure what is happening with Capital One, but as a customer of over 10 years, I can now safely say they are no longer the best company to give business to.

    This is the shadiest credit card company I have ever dealt with and they could care less. For starters, I have excellent credit and have been a good customer for years. On Aug 25th of this year I had a balance of around $6300 and was charged an interest fee of $61. The next month I checked my balance and sent a payment to cover the entire balance plus any interest that may have accrued which gave me a negative balance on the account as of Sept 12. Now follow this! If I never used the card again they would have sent me a check for the overpayment which was around $130. I used the card 11 more times in Sept which was about $400 so if you subtract the money that was overpaid it leaves a balance of $270. Here’s the bottom line! On Sept 25 they gave me a finance charge of $29 dollars??? That is about half of the finance charge I paid when I had $6000 owing. Does this make SENSE to ANYONE?

    After an hour on the phone and being put on hold every time the lady couldn't answer my questions she finally asked what I wanted. I told her to take off the ridiculous finance charge! She said they don’t have a “program” that could do that! I then explained that if it was not taken off I would cancel my account and she said fine. It meant nothing to lose a long time customer with flawless credit over a $29 fee. (Which was bogus to begin with) Well, good riddance. Very unscrupulous company. I would advise everyone to choose another company. Plus, the miles and incentives they advertise are not correct either, don't be fooled.

When calling them the 3rd or 4th time they finally told me my routing # of my checking account was wrong. When I know I have made payments online before using the same checking account that I have had for over 20 years. After finally getting all of the late charges dropped and the original balance of $28.05 paid off I then closed the card out of frustration. 3 weeks later I find out my credit score had went from 810 to 723.

    Capital One has inadequate security procedures. My mom is a long time credit card client of Capital One. Unfortunately, Capital One allowed some unknown fraudster to add her name to mom's account as an "additional authorized user" without contacting my mom first to confirm this was acceptable! My mom is 85 and has Alzheimer's. My sister and I have been taking care of her financial affairs for years. I have a POA which was "uploaded" to Capital One's website. From what we can tell, the fraudster obtained just enough information to pose as me or my mom and make a call into Cap One, getting herself added to the account as an additional authorized user.

    However, there was NO attempt by Cap One to independently confirm this change to mom's account. Capital One did not contact us by mail, email or phone to confirm the fraudster's change to our account before placing it into effect!!! As such, it wasn't until after the fraudster made charges to the account, and we saw them on the bill, did we call Cap One and ask that the account be closed and a new card issued. But then Capital One would not activate the card, claiming they did not get the POA (despite the fact that at least one of their customer service reps told me she could see the document in their files). We were then verbally instructed to fax the POA along with a long list of my personal data and information (despite the fact that I'm not "on" the card or listed as an authorized user). That was very suspicious. So instead, I sent the POA to Capital One's corporate offices, attn: CEO and Legal Department.

    Then we find out that Capital One reported me to local authorizes as the fraudster! So rather than go after the fraudster, they go after me as the person who has tried to help my mom get this matter straightened out - a matter that Capital One CAUSED! NOTE: None of this would have happened if Capital One had taken adequate steps to protect my mom's account from fraudsters adding themselves to her account as an "authorized additional user". These people are not just incompetent, but evil. We would like to discuss the possibility of a lawsuit against Capital One.

    Balance is false. If I could, I would give it Zero stars. I usually lay the entire balance on my credit card. And I expect to see a Zero balance. Last month I decided to make all my purchases on my card. When it was time to pay, I paid in full, So I was expecting a zero balance. I didn't that it wasn't a zero, because it was scheduled to pay a one time auto payment. But I checked a few days later and noticed my new balance was much larger than it should have been. I started counting. The math was wrong, I called customer service, their answer was that some payments were still pending and only reflected on the statement after the payment date. I didn't have time to do the math of the entire statement for the month so I just took her word for it.

    But when I did the math. I found that $79.47 of fraudulent charges. I entered all the purchases into a Numbers software, and the new balance is over by $79.47. My due balance if paid in full was $934.50 and I paid it in full. My current balance is $239.66. My purchases total to $1,094.69 thats including the new Balance Of $239.66. If I take $1,094.69 and subtract my payment of $934.50, I should be left with $160.19 remaining.

    But that's not the case. I have $239.66 remaining. This is where $79.47 is in question. And no, it's not interest. And yes I waited for all pending payments to come through before I did that math. They have yet to tell me what the $79.47 is all about. I secret charge of $79.47 that's not on the statement. So don't trust their numbers, calculate your purchases to see if they actually add up to what Capital One says it adds up to. Because I've been scammed by Capital One credit.

    In July of 2017 I purchased a drone using my credit card with Capital One. Shortly after buying the drone I had sent it for repairs. At the same time because the person that sold me the drone on eBay said the drone was covered under warranty. So when I sent the drone in to the manufacturer I notified the seller I wanted my money back. Called Capital One. Explained the issue with them. Capital One said, "Do not take the drone back. We have you covered." I sent the seller the invoice for the repair. Seller paid for repair and had the drone shipped back to him.

    The seller said he did not receive the drone however the UPS shipping label shows it was delivered to his home and signed for. The seller disputed receiving the drone. Yes UPS shipping said it was signed for. However whenever a client from another credit card company disputes the charges Capital One will back down. So now I owe Capital One the 1650.00 and the seller has the drone. Can you believe that one!

    I'd give them zero stars if I could. I'm only in my second month with the card as I got it for a BT. I paid my first bill early, but I had my account number wrong (my error). I never got a notification the payment did not go through until after the due date. I got a late fee. They actually waived the fee. Month two. I paid my minimum early. I got a late payment notice. I paid what both the app and website showed as my minimum payment. Customer service told me that even though they waived my late fee (on the same day it posted), my minimum payment was increased due to the late fee so despite paying it early, I did not pay the correct amount. When I told them I paid the minimum shown online, he told me I could not trust their website. THEIR OWN EMPLOYEE told me I couldn't trust their website or app. As soon as my 0% interest promotion runs out, I'm closing this card and running faaar away from their scam.

    I had opened a secure card with (I'm not sure) in 1995 for 500 bucks to build good credit, as time went on this card turned into a unsecured card (not sure when) it was sold to at least 5 different creditors. On December of 2016 I was denied a car loan for, too high of credit balances, so I ordered all three credit reports. Upon examining them I found that Capital One had a 8263 dollar high balance, but I had a 500 dollar credit limit. Chase bank was also on there with the same high credit balance of 8263 dollars and a 500 dollar credit limit, Cap one bought this card from chase bank in 2011, chase started reporting on it in 2004 with a high credit balance of 8263 dollars with a credit limit of 500 bucks (I to this day, never been late, or over the 500 dollar limit).

    Now I disputed this with all three CRA and it came back as being reported correctly. I disputed again knowing that it is impossible to run up and history shows that either account never went over 500 bucks. So I call capital one to please fix this numerous times with no avail. So I disputed it again with all three and then escalated it with cap one and told them that after 90 days if it's not fixed I will not pay another dime until it is fixed! Well naturally after calling them twice a week to see if anything has been done NO nothing. Now they have charged me 250 bucks and cranked the interest rate way up and put a dispute remark on my credit reports WTF. It's a year later they falsely report 8263 dollar high balance, now it's 120 days negatively late, and it's over the limit to 599 dollars due. They told me they cannot validate the high balance. I had not ever signed any contract with them. I am very pissed. What can I do?

    What is wrong with these people? The computers don't retain your information so that the customer service person will know who is calling. If you call and tell them that you will be moving and that they will be seeing charges that are unique, they "record" the phone call, but no one listens to it, so that you end up making so many calls to the call center that you are disgusted with the card and the service.

    I have been a customer for nearly 30 years and have never not paid the account in full, but these people act as if this is all new news to them, after 5 calls. They pulled up the calls, heard the same story, saw the charges and said that this is for my benefit. What benefit? I told them what I was doing and the card is supposed to be able to help me - it is a convenience, isn't it? And I told them that I would be on the road so they should respect that situation since people doing 70 miles an hour shouldn't check phones. Did it help me? No. So after this long a time with them and a stellar credit rating, I am looking for another card where the computer software is up to date and the operatives aren't brain dead.

    Updated on 03/04/2018: I just posted a review a few months ago about this company needing to get software that was accurate and which complied with customer's needs. I also noted that they need to get people in the chain of command to listen to the customer and have the service reflect the customer's needs and experiences. I got a phone call from the president's office because of my earlier review here and I really thought it would help me the next time they harassed me with stupid alerts after I told them that I would be using my card for two cars to move across country.

    I spoke to Erica in the president's office who apologized profusely, so before I moved back cross country again, I reached out to Capital 's headquarters and spoke to the president's office. I explained what I was doing and noted that I always pay my full card balance immediately, but that no one can respond to alerts while on a superhighway, driving at 70 miles an hour and in a 26 foot truck. I thought that this type of interaction, based on my history, would make a difference. It doesn't.

    I hoped it would. Even after I got an alert that my Netflix bill was a dollar bigger--and I thought to myself that it would be smart to have those in charge of the database change the analytics to reflect something that Business Insider had noted about three weeks earlier--I had hopes that perhaps a personal call would matter. Honestly, wouldn't it make sense for people in charge of this card to value their customers enough to listen to them? To make the appropriate changes to a database--which is checking for fraud--so that it reflected NATIONAL trends, like the price rise in Netflix streaming, which was not a top secret move and which effects MILLIONs of individuals?

    I know how computer systems work and if this company had a system that had some viable analytics that were updated and maintained properly, most of the problems I have with them would go away. But even if I call the executive offices and speak to a head honcho there, I can't avoid a stupid and ridiculous alerts that I can't attend to when I am driving 1700 miles across this nation at a high rate of speed.

    Attending to the alert, speaking to yet another uninformed customer service person after asking the executive offices to make sure that I was not harassed is ridiculous. In fact, I made two calls to the executive offices, and got a person who promised me a "no hassle" drive on the last phone call. Well, that just didn't happen, so I guess Capital One should change their name to Hassle One. At least that would be truth in advertising. Get better programming by hiring better database advisers... and definitely upgrade your workforce, including the people in your executive offices.

Two calls, each exceeding 1/2 hour and each requiring me to supply the same account information at least twice, leads me to believe that Capital One is staffed by incompetents.

She then stated that she would extend my "due date" for a month to help me make my payment on time. When I paid by the due date, I was charged late charges anyway. Capital One refused to waive the late charges even though the agent made these statements. They are dishonest money-grabbing scammers.

    People carrying credit cards count on fraud prevention departments to be our friend. Capital One’s Venture Card is a disaster. If you are relying on your Capital One Venture Card as your primary card in international travel, be warned! Since this card was issued to me, I have been turned down in virtually every international trip I make, and proving my identity is generally very difficult indeed. Here are the top four reasons you can’t count on this card!

    Capital One won’t let you notify them of your travel plans, like a normal company. As a result, when you are in Timbuktu (or anywhere outside of your normal pattern), they are immediately suspicious. A typical call to customer support: “This line is terrible! Where in the world ARE you?” “Dakar, Senegal.” “I’ve never heard of it? Where on earth is that?”

    Capital One has only two means of verifying your identity. a) Your mobile phone number. When one travel’s internationally, you generally change your SIM card with each country. Yet Capital One’s first solution is always that they want to send you a text to your mobile number of record. That’s not an option, Capital One! b) Your e-mail address of record. But that requires you to have access to internet and your e-mail address of record when you are three miles from the Hanoi Hilton and Capital One just declined your purchase! Not likely to happen! What now? You're out of luck, partner! Text to mobile doesn’t work, and they don’t have another plan! Every other card I use internationally has more than one workable solution for identifying me if something goes wrong. Capital One has none!

    Capital One’s expects you can access their toll free 800 number. The first question most credit card companies ask when I call them internationally is “What is your phone number so that we can call you back if we are cut off?” Not Capital One! They are barred from calling you back. So when you are in Conakry and you can only purchase a $1 phone charge cards, buy a score of ‘em and load ‘em all! You’ll need more than that when Capital One turns you down! Guess what, Capital One! You can’t make a toll-free call from a landline in Conakry! When your mobile card is running out and that Capital One employee sensibly offers to take your number and call you back, don’t hold your breath waiting for their call! Their system won’t let them call you! They have no choice but to leave you hanging in Hartbeesport!

    They miss the simple stuff. After, count them, fifteen calls today in which I tried to prove that I indeed am me, somebody finally thought to ask me my pin number. When I gave them the correct number, immediately the tone changed. But we still had to reach my wife in another country so they could e-mail her a code to definitively prove I am me myself. Once your identity is resolved, people are always kind, polite and apologetic. Capital One, may I recommend that you fix a broken policies rather than offering apologies, if you want to stay in the competitive international credit card market? You can’t compete if you can’t solve problems better than you have for me!

    They screwed me over BIG time. When I first got this issue I asked a colleague who does debt repair for advice. He asked what agency had the debt. I said Portfolio Recovery and he let out a big sigh. He said they are one of the worst to deal with. Capital One sent bill in 2016 to an address I moved from in 2011 which I updated with the post office. That is public record but I have to blot out the address per the guidelines on this site. Instead of contacting me by phone or using my real address they sent to debt collector. Also note I have a different active Capital One credit card (which I cannot cancel now since it will wreck my credit score further) so they have my info but they never sent the bill. Furthermore, even if I got the bill I would still not know if this charge was legit or not. Still today I have NO knowledge of what that $130 charge (which I only received via debt collector) is for.

    Nor is Capital One or the debt collector able to provide ANY info on what that charge is for. I NEVER received any info on this charge from Capital One. It all came from their terrible debt collector - otherwise I would not even know the write off had occurred! I never used this CC once and opened it supposedly 9 yrs ago. Only charge ever was in 2016 which I have no knowledge of and is the one Capital One sent to debt collectors Portfolio Recovery. My wife's purse was stolen in 2015 which we reported to local police and Experian (which did a 90 day credit freeze) and to all our credit cards that we know of - it could be related but I am not sure. Either way Capital One and Portfolio Recovery were totally irresponsible and this should be stricken from my credit score.

    Now I am spending months with Lexington Law and thousands of dollars in poor rates and to pay Lexington and Portfolio Recovery still refuses to budge on this and my credit score is down about 70 points because of that. I despise this company and hope the FTC takes action against them. Also if you have a choice (although I doubt you will) I hope a lawyer could help me since I would like to speed up this process of removal and would be happy to talk to someone competent at either Portfolio Recovery or Capital One and modify review if they could remove this charge, but to date I have not found a competent person at either. I would also be happy to talk to media or anyone about this on the record since the whole credit repair process is so ridiculous and unfair. And I am sure people here have way worse stories than I do and would like to help bring light on this in hopes that the process changes.

    Capital One recently removed the ability to deposit images of checks from a home computer. Capital One now expects this to be accomplished by their mobile app. Let's examine how much time it actually takes to deposit a batch of ten checks via home computer for versus a mobile app. Via Home Computer: 1. I take pictures with a semi-pro Canon camera which produces high resolution images beyond what a phone can accomplish. 2. I lay all ten checks face up in a grid, with a little space between the checks, and take a picture on a dark surface. 3. I turn all 10 checks over and take a second picture. 4. I remove a digital SD card from the camera and insert it into card reader connected to my high end Mac computer. 5. I transfer the two check image files to the computer from the camera card. 6. I make ten copies of each image using the Command + D keys.

    7. I then rename each 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, and so on to represent the ten checks in the two pictures. 8. I then open all the images in PhotoShop and crop out the unwanted checks in each image and then save the images. 9. I now have ten pictures showing ten different check fronts and ten pictures showing their corresponding check backs all from taking only two pictures. 10. I click a bookmark in a browser and access the Capital One site over a high speed fiber optic connection. 11. The browser preloads my username and password so in reality all I need to do to access my account is click twice and wait a 3 or less seconds.

    12. I then deposit each check.

    Mobile: 1. First I have to have a mobile phone and a mobile plan. 2. Then I have to wait for phone to warm up. 3. I need to get out a stylus pen to access a keypad to login into the phone and then wait. 4. I then have to use a stylus pen to log into the Android OS and then wait. 5. Then I have to take 20 different pictures for the ten checks because mobile phone cameras are generally not good enough to take high resolution images that can be cropped into smaller images of individual checks. Even if they can there is no easy way to duplicate and crop the images on a phone into 20 separate images using only two original pictures. 6. I have to go outside to actually create a WiFi connection on the phone. Let also hope I don't have to surf for a working WiFi network first. I also can't do this during night time, when it's raining, snowing, or the temperature has dropped.

    7. I would then have to start the Capital One mobile app. I'd have to enter any usernames and password manually using a stylus pen. I'd also have to enter the check amounts with the same stylus pen. 8. I have to wait for each of the 20 images to upload during the deposit process. Conclusion: Depositing 10 checks via a home computer would take less time that it takes for the phone to warm up and log into it and Android.

    If this represents Capital One's best work then I frankly conclude it's unsafe to keep any funds within any Capital One bank at all as this fails all tests of logic. I'd fire employees that came to me and tried to tell me that the mobile app method was faster. It's not even close. It's dumbest thing I have ever seen in regards to banking in my 50 year life. The big excuse I got from Capital One was that it's a security issue connected with users trying to upload the same check image more than once. Capital One really thinks its customers are stupid enough to believe that? One thing for sure is that Capital One can't be trusted.

    Updated on 09/20/2017: Capital One's Response to my Complaint Regarding the Removal of Check Deposits From Your Computer: "We are happy to look into the concerns you expressed in your review. In order for us to move forward, please reply to this message with the following information: Full name. Zip code. Phone number (and best time to reach you). Any relevant details regarding your concern. For your security, please do not include your account number or Social Security number. We look forward to assisting you! Capital One"

    They don't need any of that information. I also don't need to talk to them further as they already lied twice. Their excuse was that people were trying to deposit checks twice. Well, can't they also do that with a mobile app. They think their customers are dumb enough to believe that. No longer have any money in Capital One accounts and I've canceled all their credit cards. They need to sell their banking business back to ING Direct, the Dutch company, who knows how to run a bank properly.

Sometimes, for example, if the monthly due is $98, I will pay $500-1000. So, sending me a letter stating that my payments are too low is downright incorrect. I call a rep. who is unable to assist me and transfers me to a supervisor who does not better and just says to keep making my payments for another 3 months and reapply again.

And lastly, I've been a customer since 2007, (my mom picked CO out for me when I was in college, thanks mom), and this is not the first bonehead move Capital One has made, (there was the time they sent me a new card, canceled the old one, and didn't tell me until I was stranded at a gas pump with a card that wouldn't work, thanks guys). So, if you're in the market for a new card, seriously - steer clear. Oh, the errors of my youth: Deep sigh.

    I have had an account open for about 8 years, originally opening for additional credit, but, due to fraudulent charges, had the account shut down. While it was shut down, I received another fraudulent charge. Capital One identified it and reimbursed the money and also notified the company who reimbursed the money as well. I called to resolve this and the customer service agent assured me that everything was taken care of, and just to be sure, I had them cancel the current card and send a new one. In order to rectify the double reimbursement, they sent me a check with no notification.

    A few days ago I was greeted with a new bill depicting my outstanding debt of the original $31.95 and 85% late fee ($25.50). They sent the outstanding balance to collections and levied a hit against my credit score. Mind you, this is all on an account that was never active and is no longer connected to myself, thus I have no access apart from to physical mail. I have now been on the phone with the customer service for three hours (still on hold while writing this). We have reversed the fee but they are claiming the credit bureau dispute is out of their hands.

    I called Capital One today because if needed the venture card to travel. When I called the rep told me that they are best reserved for BUSINESS PEOPLE... and credit worthiness... I told her I am sorry that the card is not for the common people... I told her, "I found it funny that I cannot get the card, but you keep sending me and my husband offers for car loans."

    She proceeded to tell me again that I can apply but there is no guarantee that I will get it because I don't do business and want it for travel. I said to her, "I find it highly disrespectful that I don't qualify because I don't have a business." I make $40,000 a year and that was not good enough. I told her that it's false advertisement on TV because that is not what's advertised on TV. She then put me through her supervisor which told me the same thing... I told them to remove me from auto loan offers or I will contact an attorney. I felt low and degraded to know I have to have a certain 6 figure to get a card to travel...

    I opened an account with Capital One 360 online. A short while later I got an email from Capital One reminding me I need to put money into the account to use it. So I deposited two checks using my smartphone and their app. One was slightly over $18 from jury duty. The other check was for slightly over $3,000 from the State Center Community College District, my monthly paycheck. Seven hours later, I received an email telling me they were locking my account. They said they needed more information to verify my identity. I thought that wasn't too strange, and sent them the requested photos of the front and back of my driver's license. They rejected them. I thought it was odd that they could cash a check based on a photo from the same camera, but couldn't verify a drivers license, yet I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    I have contacted them many times. Every single time I call I always get the same result. I get transferred to an answering machine, and told they will contact me soon. They have had my money locked away from me for over a month now, and I STILL have not been contacted by them. I still have the physical checks (that they cheerfully told me to destroy before locking my account), I have the receipt of them taking my check, I have printed record from Fresno County's Treasurer showing that the check has been cashed and has cleared. Paypal can verify my identity, Wells Fargo can verify my identity, why can't Capital One? If they couldn't verify my identity, why did they let me open an account and cash checks in the first place? If the checks have cleared, then why is my account still locked up? If they want to verify my identity, why haven't they made ANY effort to do so?

    The only Capital One related communication I have received is a letter stating that they believe someone opened an account with them with my information (the same info they SENT THE LETTER TO) and have locked the account, warning me to check for identity fraud. And a survey from a company asking me how my experience with Capital One's help line was. Needless to say, I had nothing positive to say about my experience with the company. If I was living paycheck to paycheck like the majority of America, Capital One's actions would have bankrupted me and left me homeless. They have literally taken a month's worth of my salary, and have been nothing short of uncooperative in giving it back to me.

    They will NOT let me speak to someone who actually has the power and authority to fix the problem, and redirect me to the same answering machine every time. I have included scans of all related documentation, and a screen-cap of the verification that they were going to cash my check. I'll be more than happy to provide any other information needed.

If you call them record your conversation because they will tell you anything to get you off the phone then when it comes down to the bottom line the comments in the account are no longer there and they call it miscommunication.

    I had my Capital One credit card for 5 years. I have never had any problems. Always paid on time. I even received an increased limit without asking. I paid my card off and never used it for over a year. I had an emergency that required Mr to use my card which was on the day before my payment was due. A couple of days later, I try to use my card and it's declining. I call customer service and they tell me that I cannot use my card because the payment is past due. It shouldn't matter if the payment is past due. A credit card should be available to use whenever you need it. And the bill was $59.00, not some outrageous amount that look suspicious. Plus the bill was moved to next month.

    I wish everyone would close their Capital One accounts. I will be closing mine. There should not be a limit on how many times or when I can use my card. Obviously I need to use the card instead of cash. That's what a credit card is for. I will be reporting this to all of my local news stations. This needs to go public and viral.

To make matters worse, they refused to provide any real facts, reasons, or rationale as to what constituted unusual activity. While they have the right to do this to its consumers according to the cardholder agreement, it's not fair that they refuse to provide any details as to their conclusion.

But starting in April 2017 began a nightmare that has cost me over 700$ in charges I don't owe. It began when fraud charges amounting to over $3,000 hit my account in $10.00 increments from Google Play. It has taken me months and hours of phone calls for credits and debits between Capital One and Google, and all the time I am making my payments on only the legitimate charges I have made.

    Now suddenly in July, only two weeks after I made an $800 payment (paid over what I owed) they claim I still owe $725.37. When I made the woman in the fraud department go over, item by item and payment by payment she admitted I only owe a little over $200 for this next billing cycle. But they are sticking me with a charge of 725.37 because they claim my account was double credited. Doesn't matter if it was quadruple credited as long as I've been making the payments on my own purchases!! I've nearly lost my mind trying to talk sense to these people. They are nothing but cheats and liars and will make money any way they can included putting a fraudulent amount on your bill! Never will I use this Credit Card company again. Public...

I said that's ridiculous and things happens. The representative said, "Well I guess you're the lucky one because we have the right to close an account if there's one returned payment."

    So not only did they closed my credit card accounts but of course I still have to pay the balances and reapply for another card. Even before they closed my account I noticed they took my deposit couple weeks and applied it towards my card balance. I don't know why that happened because that card I would pay the full balance. I'm going to pay what I owe so it will not have a negative affect on my credit and I am going to ask for a letter stating why they was closed so I'll have when I purchase my home next year.

However, Capital One closed both of my accounts and applied the cash back I had available to my pending balances with them. When I called Capital One to see what was going on with my credit card accounts they advised me they had closed both accounts as is their right according to their credit card "contracts" and advised me the reasoning for the account closures was because I was not using the credit cards on purchases they deem appropriate for their credit cards.

    I purchase mainly electronics with their cards and apparently they have some issues with me doing this. I believe the real reason which those scumbags will never admit to was that I was earning too much cash back for their liking.

Not all bank locations have tellers to process your transaction. Their bank location managers do not understand other lines of business to help you with other transactions, therefore they will give you MISGUIDED information, tell you there is nothing they can do, causing you to waste your time, energy. Their website publishes information that are outdated or misleading, therefore it will MISGUIDE YOU, and lead you to resolving it on your own by paying extra FEES!! Or tell you there is nothing they can do.

    Recommend: Train your associates better, so that they actually understand the BASICs of other services (i.e., contact information of others to understand auto loans vs. there is nothing Capital One can do) or else don't provide this service.

Was on the phone with him for over 1 hour and 30 minutes, please check his call log on 6/19/2017 with his sarcastic self. Our account are accumulator late fees. They have not send a new card and we do not have any on statements. THEY ARE VERY INCOMPETENT PEOPLE. PLEASE GET A CREDIT CARD FROM ANOTHER COMPANY... (VERY DISAPPOINTED).

    These people are not friends of consumers. It's an attack on people using clever tricks and marketing. I've been trying to get them to stop sending their weekly scam offers with 24.99% interest. Are they complete idiots or they just don't care about people anymore? This is a farce and a scam on a global nature. DO NOT do business with this people. They are crooks! Their double miles on Venture One is supposed to be their most prestigious for people with excellent credit. It's just a scam, you only get .01 per point so 55000 miles is $550. Any other plan, such as American Airlines 55000 miles gets you to Cathay Pacific roundtrip on Business Class. You can't even get most domestic flights for $550. These people are no friends of the community. Run as fast as you can if you get an offer from them. I cannot believe Jennifer Garner and others are supporting this crooked company!

    Night chat service: The agent who attended me had no desire to work, had no interest in answering my questions, answered me in an unfriendly way and sent me to call a number of customer service to have my questions answered because that was not his job. In fact this agent of Capital One behaved in a very unprofessional way.

    Take overdraft protection. There is absolutely no way their overdraft fee policy is legal. They are money hungry bloodsuckers. I got charged an overdraft fee for an overdraft fee. They claim it's because another fee cleared after the overdraft fee was planning on the account but before that I had put money in to cover all charges. I just did that too late to avoid the first fee. It's total crap.
