    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.

    I am restraining myself in this review. I have a significant amount of money tied up in a Capital One account. After a recent software change (they were down for a complete weekend or more), I can no longer access my account. I have need for a balance statement and additional information. 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. I put significant trust in Capital One's personal banking system. As soon as I can get my funds transferred, I am going to a new bank. They lost a customer of over 10 years (from the time it was ING)!

    Capital One representative defined the term "due date" for me according to Capital policy. She stated that the due date is the date your payment is due to avoid late charges. 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. Find another company to work with unless you like being ripped off!

Totally inept, constantly asking for the same documents, flagging my credit report after I was told repeatedly they would not during the process. They left me no choice but to get an attorney.

    I have an excellent credit history, and numerous credit cards. Capital One is always an incredible headache in charging annual fees when not warranted, late fees when not warranted, refusing to remove negative credit reports, and absolutely horrendous customer service (thanks Mindy for keeping me on hold for 30 minutes and transferring me to the wrong dept.) and support. EVERY other credit card company that I deal with is more than accommodating. Capital One, despite all their commercials, seems to be disinterested in securing their client's business.

    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!

    The credit cards that Capital One has are crappy. I give the 2 thumbs down for customers service. I have recently had some medical issues. And When I called these guys to discuss the problem and to see if they could help me out. THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS PAY THE 500.00 TO GET YOUR ACCOUNT UP TO DATE AND WE CAN HELP, UNTIL THEN THEIR ANSWER IS ALWAYS NO. They say they want to help but it always ends up needing more and more money. I am thinking about maybe filing for bankruptcy. Not sure yet. If I become a million... (Hahaha) Here shortly I would so dump these people.

    How can I pay 500 plus more money. They are just crazy. I work, but they just don't care about the customers, they just want to get you the card and if you fall on bad times then you are on your own. They say they want to help but they really don't. I RECOMMEND THAT NO ONE GET THIS CARD. IT IS MORE TROUBLE THAN IT'S WORTH. They lie and all they care about is getting more money from you. And the customer service is really rude and heartless.

    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.

    After many fraud charges on my Capital One credit card, I decided to close the account. I was getting charges from a merchant I have never used and the charges were reversed by Capital One fraud department. After I closed my account I received a statement with the charges back on my statement. I called customer service and the fraud department, which they said they determined it is not fraud and I must pay. I did receive a credit from Capital One on a previous charge from the same merchant, which was determined fraud. How can one charge be determined fraud, but two charges from the same merchant be determined not fraud?

    As a merchant we took a credit card from this customer as a deposit. The customer refused to return our rental equipment. We charged the account. The customer denied the charge. We filed our paperwork 2 weeks late and they will not reopen the claim and have denied the charge. My remedy is to either sue Capital One or take the customer to small claims court. Capital One Hides behind third party on claims, I had to argue to get anyone at Capital One to even talk to. If you are a merchant beware. Card holders comprise most of the complaints.

    I have a $7000 credit line and a balance of around $2500. It's been over 6 months since I had an increase so I applied online last week. I got a letter from them declining the request for one reason: "monthly payments are too low." Hmmm, I always pay 4-5 times the amount due. 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.

    I tell her over and over again that I can understand if you deny my request based on true information, however, you are declining me with wrong information. She keeps reading canned responses about not being able to help me and to reapply in a few months. Awful customer NO service. I will pay this off and move to a more customer focused company.

We contacted Capital One and we were told that the primary card holder would need to answer a few questions before the card can be activated. He answered the questions and was told that he would be put on hold to verify who he was.

    After waiting roughly 7 minutes, the rep came back online and told us that we would need to submit supporting documentation because WE needed to prove who WE were because there was fraudulent activity on the card. We explained that we literally just received the cards and asked how could there be any fraudulent activity. Our questions were ignored by the representative and when we tried asking our questions again, we were talked over and were told we needed to submit the documents if we wanted the card activated.

    We couldn't understand how a company can allow people to apply for a CC, be approved, send the cards and then restrict the card because they needed to verify who we are because there was fraudulent activity on a card that we just activated.

    I misplaced my credit card and requested a replacement card in June... Which never came. I requested a new card in August and asked that it be sent overnight... Which also never came. I just got off the phone with a representative who said I would need to send a scan of my driver's license, (even though the email I was sent asks for proof of social security number and proof of address), in order to resolve the "concerns" Capital One has with my account.

    I have "concerns": For starters, where are my cards? Either of them would do just fine at this point. Second, if I have to jump through hoops to spend money I'll be paying back to Capital One plus interest, why should I bother sending them anything in the first place? 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 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.

    Do not get this card. They will not tell you everything and they will lie to you. Their customer service is bottom line compared to any other customer service I have ever dealt with. These people need to be investigated. You have been warned. Don't let them do to you what they have done to me. They should not even be in business. 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. Next time I have to call these people I will have my recorder set up and let them know that they are being recorded and I will record the entire conversation and if they go back on it again I will have proof and will use it!

    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.

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 was thinking it was an old account that closed. I log into credit karma and notice Capital One closed both of my credit card accounts. I called Capital One asking why did they close my accounts and I just made a payment on one card and the other wasn't due until July 25th. The representatives said the reason it was closed because I had two payments came back returned during the two years. One returned payment was 2015 and the other was couple months ago. 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. I WILL NOT apply for another card with Capital One. I also had a checking and a savings account 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.

They said they cannot so I closed the account. Don't believe capital one. They’re sinking and fraud mentality. Go to discover. They’re great.

    I give Capital One Quicksilver five stars! My credit score and history was just bad! Capital One started me on with my Capital One Quicksilver with a $250.00 credit line. I paid my payments before the due date! And without requesting a credit line increase, Capital One raise my credit limit to $500.00. And when you go online to make payments you get to see your credit score for free!

    Also I had a bad run with RedBox! I went online to check my statements and Redbox billed me $39.99 for a DVD! I called up Redbox and the woman told me that on her computer, I still had a DVD out! And the $39.99 for billing! I told the woman from Redbox that I did not have the dvd and that I returned it! And she told me, that on her computer I still had it checkout! I then called Capital One and the woman told me that I could place a block on my account and within 7 days, I can get a new card! And just like she said 7 days later, my new Capital One Quicksilver with a new account number was in my mailbox!

    Around 2 to 3 years ago, I opened my first account with Capital One. I had credit issues previously due to medical issues and I was in the process of trying to re-establish credit for myself. At that time I was happy that Capital One allowed me to have a card. Since that time, I've never been late on payment. A year or so later, they sent me another card and I was approved. Then they approved me for a third card. In around the end of 2016, I started having problems with one of my accounts. For some reason Capital one put a lock on my account after I tried to use it on eBay with my eBay account. I continued to pay on the account for months from the same bank account using the same address and same information I always had. I paid from the same bank account on all of my accounts, my own personal checking account.

    I contacted them, emailed them, called them was turned into the fraud department, verified my identity over and over again, even told them to call my mortgage company and my personal bank to verify my identity and ask them what else I needed to do. At that time, they told me "nothing, they would reactivate the account". They never did. I called them over and over again. Eventually they blocked my access to all of the accounts. They wouldn't even let me log in to make payments anymore even though I always paid on time, continued to use the one card they would allow me access to and the payments on all 3 accounts always came from the same bank - same personal checking account and bank that I have done business with for over 30 years now.

    Their fraud department treated me like a criminal. They went back through my entire credit history and made me verify my addresses for the last 40 years, name off vehicles I've owned dating back for decades, verify family members and relatives names. Anything you can think of, they made me do it. They told me they had remedied the problems and would reactivate my accounts. The account continued to be locked. Within a month they completely shut off access and never sent me a paper statement or anything even though they blocked my online access. One of the accounts was new, they never let me access the account even though they billed me the $39.00 fee on the account. The only way I knew the fee was on the account is because I checked my credit on Credit Karma. I never made a charge to the account.

    Even though they blocked my access to the accounts, they never once sent me a paper statement because I had signed up for "online access" which they had blocked. The Representative told me they couldn't sign me back up for paper statements that I could go online and request them. I couldn't because they blocked my access to all 3 accounts. One account they never even activated yet continued to bill me an annual fee on. They never let me use the card nor sent a bill for it.

    I finally gave up, called them and spent a very extended period of time on the phone with them until they had me so frustrated, I demanded they close all 3 accounts although I don't know why I had to close the last account because they never even let me use it but continued to show it on my credit report as if it was active. They wouldn't even let me email them. They wouldn't respond to emails even when I sent them to their online email address. Nothing. They continued to hold me accountable for the money owed but they wouldn't give me access to the accounts to even pay them off.

    No matter what I did, they refused to reopen the card that originally caused all these problems, I finally told them to close it and send me a final statement. They wouldn't even send me paper statements without closing the account and kept telling me things like, "You can go online and request a paper statement" even though they blocked my access to all 3 ACCOUNTS.

    What I don't understand is, if they thought one account was fraudulent and I had 3 accounts then why did they not close all 3 accounts. Wouldn't that make senses? They never officially closed any of the accounts until I told them to close them. I've never been through such an experience. I kept paying on both of the accounts that I actually used from the same bank for months although they locked me out of one account and not the other until they finally locked me out of all of the accounts then they wouldn't let me access ANY of the accounts to even pay on them. I even paid off one account the month before from the checking account that I had always paid from and paid on the other accounts too. Does any of this make sense?

    Even after they closed 2 of the accounts they told me the first account was "fine" that it didn't have to be closed. They still wouldn't allow me to pay with online billing even though I had been paying from my private checking account online for years with them. It makes absolutely no sense. I finally gave up and told them to close it too and send me a statement showing the accounts were paid off. What's so bad is when I try to apply for other credit now, I get responses online about, "We suspect fraudulent activity" and they won't even allow me to apply for credit online of any kind because Capital One has gone out of their way to ruin my credit even though I paid them without fail for several years. I know they did it because I've never had it happen before. These people really are HORRIBLE.

    Their online representatives have no common sense. If they did they would have been able to look at see that I was still paying on the accounts from the same checking account. I even told them to call my bank and verify who I was and where the money was coming from but NOPE, that didn't even work. I spoke with a foreign representative of some sort the first time, he assured me everything was ok, but it wasn't. This went on for months.

    No matter how many times I or how I verified my identity, no matter how many dozens of questions they asked me about my accounts, vehicles I owned for the last half a century, my addresses for the last 40 years, my spouse, birth date, SSN, License # and on and on, they STILL for some unexplainable reason thought one of the accounts was fraudulent but not the other even though I paid on them religiously month after month from the SAME BANK! No matter that I paid on the accounts from my SAME checking account, they locked me out of one account then another to the point I just finally gave up and told them to close all 3 accounts although one of them had never even been activated.

    I'm not writing all this to tell anyone else what to do. I'm writing this because this was the worst experience I've ever had with a credit card company and I believe that Capital 1 is solely responsible for causing me more unwarranted credit problems for me by falsely reporting false credit alerts to credit agencies, hindering my ability to apply for credit with other credit sources online. They are terrible people. They certainly didn't help my credit. They've all but finished ruining me for future credit.

    I'm in the process or reporting them to the State AG and BBB. It's wrong what you people did and you put me through unwarranted stress over and over again for absolutely NOTHING. I mean it's one thing to block an account that you suspect to be fraudulent but when you put people through this for months on end and they've verified everything but their shoe size and even continued to pay on the accounts the entire time, then you need to hire some people that know what they're doing. Clearly these people are clueless. I hope one day someone treats you the same way you treated me and I hope someone tries to RUIN YOUR CREDIT like YOU ARE DOING TO MINE!

    This is the worst bank I have ever seen. They had offered me a credit card with additional credit line increase if I make payments on time for 5 months. For first 2 month I had paid my bills manually and opted for auto payments. Unfortunately Auto pay didn't work for that month and realized that next day after payment date. I had made payment immediately and charged me late fee. I got an email from Capital One stating that I had missed payment and however, they will increase the credit line if I make payments on time for 5 months. So totally 8 months wait. This bank is cheat and make great insults to customers. Best way to avoid this frustration is try searching other banks and they make you much better deal than this stupid bank. I will stop using this credit card and switch to good banks like Bank of America.

    Okay, once you read this I think you would agree on how crazy this situation is. I have a 745 credit score to be exact. Get TONS of junk mail from Capital One asking to apply for a new card. Ignored most of the time. But this time in question I started to have an obsession of wanting a credit score over 800 in particular closer to 850 as possible. Why? No reason in particular, some people collect stamps, some collect lint, I want the highest credit score possible. Apply online, get notice that additional information is needed to verify my identity. Print out letter, copy of drivers license & social security card NOTARIZED, mail certified mail. They receive, long wait, no follow. Call them asking what's going on? Said, "Oh... we'll get back to you in a few days."

    Week and half go by from the time I called in, then receive e-mail that said, "Congratulations you've been approved and your card is on its way!" Okay great... waiting game. About 6 days from that point I receive card. I go home and activate on computer via instructions. Once logged into account, fraud in red is written all over the place. I go maybe I did it wrong. Call activation number instead. After it said, "Thank you for activating it" immediately transferred me to fraud department. I was talking to aforementioned department for 1 hour and 22 minutes! They wanted me to submit my ID yet again, submit my SS Card yet again! This time they also wanted to see my bank statement, to see if name and address is as stated. It was. But I didn't show rest of statement because it had my purchases, bank balance etc.

    So now it went from verifying identity to, "Let us see your entire bank statement" EVEN THOUGH it has nothing to do with the identity. In what is showed, name, address, bank phone number, account number etc., etc., etc. Why do you need to see my purchases? Quite interesting that after this experience I called a buddy who has a Capital One card and a $3500 credit line. Tons of delinquent crap in history, credit score 630. And not very credit worthy by his own words. I make almost double what he makes in a year (a bit over 67k). My credit report is squeaky clean, no debt, no negatives, not anything but stellar. BUT there is a difference between my buddy and I. A very specific difference. I wasn't going to go here BUT when you cancel out everything that can be possible you have to start to consider other areas of concern.

    And that is race. My buddy has a very "American" name, and he is **. I have a very ethnic name and am native and look it (mentioning since fraud rep. seemed to show more suspicion AFTER seeing my driver's license picture, asking to see bank balance, purchases etc.). They are supposed to call me on Tuesday 06/13 to let me know IF I'm actually approved. If they don't call then I'm going to call them on Wednesday 06/14. Will update review at that time.

    Capital One are a bunch of straight out crooks. I had a situation in which a rental company fraudulently took $800 out of my Cap 1 card with a forged signature as they claim they had given me a deal that was too good. I charged back and provided Cap 1 with all email correspondence, flight ticket stubs, flight and car bookings. Basically the rental company added 7 days to my rental. Even though I booked my flight tickets ages ago (why would I rent a car for 7 days beyond my stay in the country?), my emails and original booking was for 21 days and not 28 days.

    After getting all the evidence Capital One refused my claim, and had the nerve to say that I probably changed my mind in the middle of my business trip, and was planning to stay for an extra 7 days, and then changed my mind again. This of course I did over the phone with the rental company. This airhead of an employee actually used this logic to support the merchant's fraud. I cut it up and never used them again. I have great credit and rack up over $10K a month on my personal and business cards. Too bad Capital One will never ever see a dime of it.

    I am so livid. I had gotten an offer that I thought stated it was 0% interest on a balance transfer for 15 months as well as purchases. Great. I was approved and when I got the card called and activated it. Again, verified with the rep that it was 0% on balance transfers. She stated I had to wait 11 days. Great, fell a week before my payments with balance transfer cards were due.

    I go to do the transfer and the rep tells me is 19% interest. I get on the line with a supervisor to have the call reviewed and he states he's going to do some research and puts me on hold. Comes back and states due to the original application he can't honor what the rep told me. So not only have I lost a week waiting for the card to arrive... 11 days to do the balance transfer now I'm being charged interest on my other card because they couldn't honor the 0% interest. I ended up going with Bank of America and had my balance transferred for 0% for 12 months. Would never deal with them again. Terrible service that doesn't follow through on their promises.

    I've been a customer with Capital One since 2008. I have perfect credit and I've always made my payments on time, and yet they closed my account with no notice. I was trying to get gas this morning when my card was declined. I called to see what the problem was and they said that they closed my account due to my account not meeting their "expectations of personal, family, or household purposes". They said that they sent me a letter about it yesterday, but that it wouldn't have made it to me yet, which they said was the only reason they were willing to even tell me about it because I hadn't actually been notified about it yet. I tried to find out what they meant that I wasn't using my account for personal use, and they wouldn't tell me anything about it. I asked to talk to a manager and they said it would be 24-48 hours before someone would contact me.

    I just think that this is poor customer service and I really feel like they have a complete disregard for their customer relationships. What if I didn't have any other way of paying for my gas this morning? I would've been stranded at the gas station. And why? Because Capital One decided that they didn't like the purchases I've made? I don't get it. At least let me know that you're closing my account ahead of time so you don't put me in a bad situation when I'm counting on being able to use my credit card. It's ridiculous.

    Here's a fascinating (in my view at least) interaction I just completed with Capital One. Back Feb 23, 2017, I received a slew (15 in all) of fraudulent charges on my Capital One credit card. All were for exactly $3, all on the same day, and all from someone's named **. To Capital One's credit, the charges were immediately flagged as fraudulent. They sent me a text asking me to confirm one of the charges and of course I replied back that it was fraudulent. I immediately called them on the phone and declared all of the $3 charges to be fraudulent. Capital One then said that they would deactivate the card, send me a new card (it would arrive in 7 to 10 business days), and credit the charges back to the account while the fraud charges were "investigated."

    Four days later, I received 17 more fraudulent charges (for slightly different amounts this time) on the new card that I hadn't even received yet. So again I called Capital One and reported all of the charges as fraudulent. I then asked the question: Did Capital One mail the new card already activated? Capital One says no. But of course that doesn't explain how the new fraudulent charges managed to appear on the new card that I had not yet received. It seems that the likely explanation is either 1) they didn't deactivate the old card, 2) they did ship the new card activated, or 3) activating/deactivating cards is a meaningless exercise that doesn't really do anything. My guess is that number 3 is closest to the truth. This is only my opinion mind you, but I can't think of anything else that fits the facts. I guess it's possible that Capital One's processes are simply ineffective.

    Regardless, we repeat the same process. New card deactivated, charges refunded pending “investigation”, and a new new card (hereinafter to be known as new card #2) mailed (this time expedited in 2 business days, received on or about March 5th honestly, I don't remember exactly when). I received new card #2 and (like a good little consumer) went through the steps of “activating” the card using their website. In the meantime, Capital One also said that they “would block the vendor that the fraudulent charges were coming from” on my account. But by this time I wasn't sure where the real fraudulent activity was occurring (was it on Capital One's system? Some other store? On Google's system?), so I did not use new card #2 AT ALL anywhere. Not online, not at a local store, nowhere (also, remember, I had never even received new card #1).

    On March 10th, as well as one day before I think, new card #2 received yet another batch of fraudulent charges FROM THE SAME VENDOR. Remember, this is on a card never used anywhere from a vendor Capital One said they would block. So I called Capital One, disputed the charges, yada yada yada. New card #3 on its way. This time I told Capital One don't bother expediting the card, I wasn't going to be using it for the foreseeable future anyway. Also, during this call the person I was talking to said that Capital One doesn't have the ability to block a vendor from a single account. So then, yet another lie from my previous call? The person I was talking to said it would be a great idea but it wasn't possible right now. Whatever.

    In the meantime, Capital One had refunded all of the charges (with the caveat that the refunds were temporary pending their investigation (or investigations? I don't know for sure). For a while, my balance was negative $88.15. The negative balance came from yet another mistake made by Capital One. According to them, they refunded the charges, then the vendor refunded the same charges, which doubled the credit I received. I was perfectly happy to let the account sit just like that, but eventually Capital One's computer decided to send me a check for the negative balance. I received the paper check and cashed it (because, after all, the check had an expiration date and I would have been happy to send them the money back again if I wasn't owed the money).

    So this brings us up to this week. Today Capital One sends me a text stating that my current balance is $88.15. This, on a card that I hadn't ever used. So I sign into the account and found that Capital One had reactivated 33 of the fraudulent charges with the notation “ADJ” (which stands for adjusted). So I called Capital One up again (It's on my speed dial these days) and asked what was going on. The first person I talked to immediately told me that the charges had been determined to have either been made by me or by someone close to me and were therefore valid. Needless to say, that did not sit with me very well. So I said that I needed to talk with their supervisor.

    The next person said that the charges were reinstated because they had overpaid the refund and that this was their way of getting the money back. I said that, "Fine, charge me something to the effect that an adjustment needed to be made, but don't do it by making a fraudulent charge look like it was legitimate." He disagreed and so on to his supervisor.

    Bottom line, I went through 4 people. The first said the charges were reinstated because they were valid charges “made by me or by someone close to me”, the rest stated that they were trying to get the extra $88.15 back and that this was the only way to do it. I said that it was an unacceptable method because it made the fraudulent charges technically valid and that it would make it impossible for me to dispute any future similar charges as fraudulent. Considering Capital One's track record concerning these charges, that was a real concern of mine. Unfortunately, no one at Capital One agreed with my assessment (or maybe in truth their system simply doesn't allow for them to do it any other way and they were stuck having to cover the $88.15).

    I decided I could not take the risk that future fraudulent charges of the same nature would come into the account (a high possibility, after all it happened three times already), and therefore be forced to argue with Capital One about their validity (while their computer showing all of the previous fraudulent charges reinstated). Consequently, I have closed that credit card account. I actually have 6 more accounts with Capital One. I am in the process of closing all of them. I can't say whether this (in my view) fiasco should affect your decision as to whether to do business with Capital One or not. But I can say that if Capital One is being truthful that all they were trying to do was get back the $88.15 and that this was the only way to do it, then they need a better system (they should get better customer service while they are at it, too).

    And they have still not unexplained (at least to me) exactly where was the security issue? Considering that the last batch of fraudulent charges was on an account that should not have had any visibility whatsoever to anyone or any company, one has to wonder if Capital One's system is all that secure (do they actively advertise new accounts to vendors? If so, why? If not, how did anyone get the new card number? It had only ever been used on their website, and even then the number was never entered, it was just activated. Or maybe deactivating a card doesn't really do anything? Any future fraudulent charges simply pass right on through to the new number?). There are a LOT of unanswered question here.

    While dealing with them I got the distinct impression that they weren't all that concerned about the fraudulent charges showing up on my account (I specifically spoke of this feeling with them on my third call at length). Yes, they refunded the charges, but they made sure I knew it was only temporary, and they didn't seem too concerned that it kept happening. It does seem to me that they got very concerned when they wanted their $88.15 back, however. Just saying.

    After a few months of using the card, I went to S America. Upon return, noticed a couple charges I didn't recognize. I asked Capital One to send me a new card and tear the one I took to S America, as I suspected fraud. Once I got the new card, I spoke to the people with the suspicious charges, who I found out were after all legit (they had used other vendor's portal for the charges but were OK).

    I kept paying my card, but after a while, I got notice from Capital One that I had lapse a couple payments. This was not possible, as I had paid them huge sums (up to $17,300) and was never behind. Apparently Capital kept the old card open, and never consolidated the credit cards under one payment so the new payments never got to the old card. I asked them to correct this, but they refused unless I sent them my copy of my electric bill, their account activity bill, my driver's licences, my Social security card and copy front and back of my credit card with capital one. I didn't have my social sec card, but wanted to send the rest documents by fax. I told them that in order to send the fax, I had to hang up as my land line can't send faxes while I am on the line. The rude employee said that if I don't send him my social sec card front and back, he won't help me.

    Since this started in March, and nothing has been fixed, and although I spoke to at least 12 people (all their names are enclosed in the documented complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau). I told the rude supervisor named NICK ED# ** to close my account, for not only they ruined my credit (other vendors closed my account because of the bad credit from Capital One) but because I never had to send so many documents to prove I was who I was, and sending them all but my social sec card would be sufficient. I asked them to give me fax # to file complaint with their corporate office, and the # they gave me (same as posted in internet) is incorrect, so now I had to complain against them to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in Washington and BBB.

So I continued to pay my bill on time every month on time before due date. I decided on May 27, 2017 to try a purchase a home, thinking my credit was in good standing. Realtor ran a credit check and on my report, Capital One, account closed by credit grantor.

    Realtor told me by my credit report payments were always made on time. I called Capital One and of course I was treated rude by a supervisor and told me there was nothing she could do. I tried to tell this woman from hell, "I would never charge 2,220.37 to pay a bill with Citibank." I have never had an account with this company. Although someone tried to pay a bill on my Capital One credit card to Citibank. I don't know what to do now. A friend told me to contact their fraud division. I must do something to repair this error. Capital One's staff is very rude and not concerned at all regarding helping their customers. I need help so badly...

    Capital One held up use on my credit card without telling me or asking about a purchase they had a question about. Fortunately I have other credit cards I can use. I will get rid of this credit card as soon as I use up the points.

    I've been with Capital One for almost a decade now since they acquired my local bank. I've never overdrafted or paid any bills late. I've banked with them exclusively and I've been happy enough with their services for banking, and their credit card services. But today I'm writing about my experience with their QuickSilver credit card. This past weekend my card was closed due to a fraudulent attempt - first time happening to a personal credit card and an inconvenience, but no big deal- none of the charges hit, I just needed a new card and life could move on.

    The new card came within a few days, with a sticker reading it was activated and good to go. While I'm used to calling in to activate, I shrugged and went with it. This, only to find out when I went to use it the next day it was declining. I logged in online, and saw my new card account was locked due to fraud concerns. Rather odd, since I thought the fraud was handled and I was dealing with a fresh card. Needless to say I called in, very puzzled.

    For some reason, which could not be properly elucidated to me (part of my massive frustration), my credit card address was being flagged. What in the world does that mean or how does that make any sense? They had the nerve to tell me the same address on all my Capital One bank accounts, the same address I've been receiving my credit card bills at, the same address they SHIPPED the new card to was a problem. The only slightly probably reason that occurred to me was that I updated it for my credit card several months ago, but definitely nowhere near the time coinciding with the recent fraud attempts that led to my old card being closed. It was all odd, but I asked how I could resolve it, wanting, again, to move on from the problems the fraud attempted created in the first place.

    According to their credit card team, the only way to remove the hold was to provide a social security card, my license scanned back to front, and proof of residence. Wow! Talk about invasive. I tried to explain that the credit card address matched my Capital One Bank account addresses; perhaps they could look at those and cross reference? But they wouldn't budge. I felt totally dissed; it was frustrating enough to have experienced a fraudulent attempt, but to have the new card nonsensically locked shouldn't have happened, and not for such a nonsensical reason as my address I've been using for months for all my banking and credit card being an issue. When I kept trying to explain this logic, I was treated like an idiot. The issue I didn't initiate or create was pinned on me as my problem- either I remitted all of that information or the hold would stay.

    For those not facing my specific problem, the heart of the issue is that their customer service is completely rigid. They will not escalate your request, or apply good discretionary reasoning to individual cases. They are clearly glued to their computer prompt; what the computer flags is the impasse and they won't put forth the human effort to treat you like a loyal, paying customer. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt by calling in a second time, hoping the second rep would be better.

    The same faulty logic was fed to me, and the rep wouldn't acknowledge the basics that things weren't adding up- if my address is an issue, why flag it now? Why not when I changed it months ago? Clearly, the recent fraud attempt set off some algorithm, but good common sense could help us navigate around that computer flag and release the hold. Take the time to consult a manager; help me escalate and resolve the case. Don't give me more problems on top of the fraud attempt.

    I'm so peeved about it I'm honestly torn about whether I'll give them the information to take the hold off. If this is how I'm going to be treated if and when fraud happens to my card, I'm really loathe to give them more of my business. Totally disrespected. There are better credit cards out there- I just chose Capital One because I did my banking. But because of this I'm short a card. I'm so thankful I had my AmEx as back up, otherwise I'd be high and dry. Take your credit card business somewhere with more competent customer service and respect for historical customers.

    This was absolutely the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I have EVER had! I have never submitted an online review for ANYONE in my life but I really felt the need to with this company. I am a bank teller and I called to verify that a check that was being presented to me was in good standing. After talking to several "agents" I was still unable to verify funds. I was told by a few that my number wasn't showing up on their end as the number I had given for verification of my identity! I explained they could call the institution themselves to verify since my number apparently wasn't doing the job.

    Long story short I spoke with a LINDSEY in the "team area" and a JULIAN in the "management department". Yep you heard correctly... the manager couldn't even do their part correctly. When I had ask Miss Lindsey for a manager she (while on a RECORDED line) rudely said, "Yeah... sure.. OMG" like excuse me?

    I planned my trip to California, and needed to rent a car. I typically use my debit card for everything and develop credit via car payments, but renting a car requires a credit card for anyone under 25 and out of state. I applied for Capital One of April 28th. I was approved right away. I received an email on May 4th that my card has been shipped. It is now May 20th and still no card has arrived. I called on May 15th asking if they have the correct address. The representative confirmed my address, stating it is correct, and that it takes 8 business days to receive the card and that I should just wait. I called today because it has been 12 business days which is ridiculous. Upon calling, I was informed they had the WRONG ADDRESS ON FILE. They sent my card to STREET instead of PLACE. A block over, there is a house with the exact same address as mine, and the only different is that they live in a street and I live on a Place.

    I KNOW what address I provided them. I'm not an idiot and I know not to put down the address to which a lot of mailmen already misdeliver my mail to. I asked the representative how my address was changed? She said she can't answer that because she doesn't know how the procedure works. As for the first representative, I repeated my address to him TWICE and he said it was correct. Dumb ass. Now, I'm completely screwed over for my vacation because of the car rental and will have to Uber everywhere for a week. The only reason I got the card in the first place was for this car rental. Now I have this ** card coming to me in the mail in 4-6 business days. I don't need or want it anymore because clearly this business is **. Thanks for ruining my vacation!

    I received a call from a representative of Capital One and after first asking me to verify my personal details, informed me that my account had been compromised. (May 17th, 2017 at 3:37 PM) She then asked me to verify the last 2 transactions and I replied that those were approved by myself and are not fraudulent. The representative of Capital One then informed me that she had to close my account (cancel my credit card) immediately and a new one would be arriving in the mail.

    I explicitly proceeded to ask that this action be delayed because earlier that day, I mailed two payments to a governing body in Quebec and provincial Court in Ontario using the said Capital One card. I also explained that the 2 bodies may charge me an NSF fee for providing a non-active account to charge the payments.

    The representative decided to proceed with the deactivation, despite my protest and informed me that she had no choice and could not give me a 7 day grace period to allow those payments to processed through the existing account.

    I spoke with 2 account supervisors who could not escalate the matter to a manager or someone senior in a time frame that would allow me to alert the 2 merchants involved. I believe that this represents gross misconduct and poor customer service on behalf of Capital One because as a paying customer, I'm being inconvenienced (potentially with additional late fees from the 2 merchants) through no fault of my own and my consent or lack thereof is being overridden by internal procedures created by Capital One. No proof of fraud or evidence of being comprised has been presented to me for me to verify such claims.

    I am writing about Capital One Journey Credit Card. I wish you could leave zero stars but I have to leave at least one star so ** you. I will give you one star. I opened up a account as it would be my first credit card ever. I had good faith that it would work out but it doesn't look like it. I received my bill for April so it said I had to make a minimum payment of $25 so I went to the bank and put the money in. I sent the minimum payment in through my Pinnacle Bank account. The bank is with Bank of Colorado. I sent the money and like 2 days later they sent the money back with some kind of ACH payment **. I sent $25 minimum payment to the credit card company and they decline it and charge me a ** fee on top of it.

    I called the bank and the bank said that it most certainly went through. That's how these SOBs work. They let you use the card one month then they figure every trick in the book to make you pay more and more for a supposed little fee. It won't matter how or when it's paid. I called the credit card company and I get some little ** on the other end of the line who says, "How may I help you today? Aww I'm sorry you're having problems with your account," but can't do anything to help with it.

    I hate this company. The bank said it would work and the card company didn't take it so now I've got a bigger bill. I'm going to see about closing the account. Won't even pay them back because they messed with my account. How do you say on one page "Paid" then on the next it says there is still a big ass bill. Today I called and asked what was the holdup with the payment to process then on the last day the payment declined and I got slapped with another high interest late ** fee so what's the use with them. I call them and get nowhere. I get ** with a late fee that puts you in later ** fees and fines.

    This company takes advantage to the new customers that are completely new to credit. My suggestion Capital One is stop being a ** piece of junk and start working with your customers especially us newbies that are new to the whole credit world. This screw up is going to ** up my credit. It ain't my damn fault. I sent the money. The bank said that they work with Capital One all the time so it is the Capital One junk card business. I'm calling Experian, TransUnion and all the other credit services to have this ** removed from my history cause I thought good company turned out worthless. My recommendation is to avoid Capital One as they will get you into the ** game.

    Last week I tried to open 5 CDs as part of a CD ladder on the Capital One website. I entered in information for the first CD (a 1-year CD); when I tried to do the same for the second CD it asked me to repeat much of the same information, including my bank information for funding the CD. I called customer service and they told me that I needed to enter that information for each CD. I grit my teeth and reentered the information for 2, 3, 4 and 5 year CDs. What with various screens and popups, it took around 30 minutes.

    This week I noticed that only the money for the 1-year CD had been withdrawn from my bank. After giving it a few days, I contacted Capital One using their chat window. The representative told me that there had been a "Tech Issue" and that I would have to open the four CDs once again. The instructions the representative provided for doing so did not match what I was seeing in my browser(s) (we tried both Chrome and Firefox) even though my browsers are relatively new. When I did attempt to go through the entire process once again, I noticed that the interest rates had gone down from 2.3% to 2.1%. When the representative told me that the interest rate was 2.1% when I opened to account (changing early that morning) when I was quoted 2.3% when opening the account, I decided that was too much and decided to scrap the four CD accounts which had not been funded. I wasted almost an hour this morning on the chat.

    I work in tech. It is unacceptable that a large bank like Capital One ask customers to spend their time working around a "tech issue" caused by their problems. My experience with their website was extremely poor. The navigation menu seems to change based on where you are in their website. Clicking on the Capital One logo logs you out and you have to log in all over again. I just opened up the 4 CDs with Synchrony Bank; the entire process took under 10 minutes.

    Back in September of 2016 I lost my job and became unemployed and did not receive unemployment benefits. I expressed this to Capital One being that I had a credit card with them with a 500 credit limit and they insisted that my account will be fine. I missed December & January 2017 30.00 payments and once I got a job and paid them on 1/28/17 I realized my credit score went from 680 to 450! So I called all three credit agencies and they told me There is nothing that will bring my score up to 680 besides CAPITAL ONE REMOVING THOSE 2 MISSED/LATE PAYMENT OF YOUR CREDIT REPORT!

    So I called Capital One and spoke with over 20 supervisors who told me they cannot removed negative remarks off my credit report until I stumbled across one STUPID supervisor who told my Capital One does removed negative remarks off people credit reports, it just depends on the situation! The manager then refused to explain why my situation did not apply and became argumentative!

    THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO IN AMERICA WITH A 457 CREDIT SCORE. NOT RENT, TAKE OUT MORTGAGE, AUTO LOAN. Nothing and they are quite aware of this! So I kept calling and finally got a supervisor who told me she would have the two late payment removed from my report so I waited 30 days. After 30 days Equifax updated my score back. I'm the 600's and the Capital One late payments remarks were gone! So I check Transunion and Experian only to see my score with them was still 457. So I called back and asked why was the late payment removed only from Equifax??

    The manager then told me she will resend out to Transunion and Experian to remove those negative remarks making my score 457. YOU SHOULD GUESS WHAT HAPPENED IN 30 MORE DAYS!!! YUP! ALL 3 AGENCIES NOW HAVE MY SCORE AT 457! Yup. Even Equifax who just had my score at 680! So the manager keep lying to me from 1/01/2017 until 5/5/2017 saying they will removed the score after. At first they said they couldn't but still haven't and giving me the runaround!

    I have wrote numerous letters to corporate which they said were abusive after ruining my life lol and now they saying none of these 1000 existed!

I was interrogated, hung up on, inquired about their policy and procedures and still seeking answers. When a credit is given and or applied you expect the credit to remain until it's used, however they reversed the credit before I could utilize it and later told the credit would be available the following day, a day after I actually needed it.

    After many more phone calls with many more people, including someone named Kaye who said she was from Capital One's Executive office, I hesitantly say I am satisfied that my situation has been resolved. I waited two billing cycles to make sure that it was for real. The only thing I can say to all of the rest of you out there who are having a hard time getting through to Capital One to try to get them to work with you is just keep trying. I think my review here on Consumer Affairs finally reached someone in Capital One who mattered, too.

    I have had a Capital One Visa for almost 20 years. Originally, the interest rate on charges was 8%. Sometime in the past few years that skyrocketed to the current 16.25%. I realize part of the blame lies with me for being unable to make a payment for three months. The reason was I took family medical leave from my job to go out of state to help my elderly parents. What I had to do took longer than my employer liked thus I lost my job. When I returned home, I began looking for another job. For whatever reason I have been unable to find a full-time job. After looking for a year, I got a part-time job. My income is less than half of what it was before.

    I spoke with Capital One from the very beginning to let them know the situation. The first time I spoke to customer service about having the interest rate reduced or something to help me out I was told there was nothing they could do for me. The agent could care less how long I had the card or my payment history. That was two years ago. One year ago when I chatted online I was told they would stop the interest for three months and not charge late fees until I could get my account out of the red. I was shocked they would even do that! I guess they did because it was just temporary.

    As soon as I got that done, interest started with a vengeance again. In the past few months I have called back and spoken to specialists who say they offer long term payment plans to help customers. Yet, every time I call they say that the plan isn't being offered at this time. I am beginning to wonder if it doesn't exist. Why do they tell me about it? The specialists always say how much they want to help me but then they don't do anything to help. I think Capital One is all talk and no action! I also think the long term payment plan doesn't exist!

Bank info was needed for a damn restriction from paying from my bank account and they wanted proof it was mine. Asked if they wanted a picture of my bank card too and they said, "No we want statement with account and routing number etc." Then it was OK after 2 weeks. Then another restriction that lasted 1 month ask questions after questions and say crap. Supposedly they expected fraud but come now how is that possible when I hadn't even used the card and in fact paying on them and I never make online purchases and they are always with me 24/7.

    Well after a month waiting like the lady told me I called on the credit cards to see what's going on and went on listening to automated service and said all accounts were closed and I was like what the beep! No one called me nor emailed me nor sent me a mail saying why or what the heck was going on. Here I always pay my cards on time or in full and they get closed. I really feel deep done.

After three months of back and forth between Capital One via letters and phone calls, they sent me a letter stating that the time had run out for them to do anything about the charge. I eventually was able to resolve the overpayment with Budget but only after seeking legal advice and threatening to file a lawsuit.

    Capital One does not stand by their customers, in fact, they wasted my time by dragging me along giving me false hope that they were going to fix the problem and investigate appropriately.

They left the card opened until it went to 10,000 dollars and started high interest and late fees, etc. Now, they sold it to their collection company and we will be headed to court I'm sure shortly. But, what they don't know, we will be taking this to the top court until it's resolved. We won't stop at our local county court because, this isn't the only card that did this at the time.

    Citibank also refused to take our new payment method and we did not have the original account we were having it drawn from. They said, "We can't take this from you". Funny, they had just spent the day before with my husband giving me permission to authorize them to do just that so we didn't have a problem. It was 0 percent and they were looking for a reason to do just that. Never ever missing a payment previously. I will be going all the way to federal court for this one. This is outrageous that they have the recording I requested the card shut down and they refused to give to me asking for them to stop the card. I also requested recording of this conversation for an attorney who is willing after we do debt relief to sue them because he said, "The recording is simple to prove." So, immediately after requesting, they sold the debt.

    So folks, here is how it works. The debt people like Lexington Law, Ovature all help you out right? No, they place appropriate information on your behalf to give the debt collectors what they need to get your money in court. They basically give the credit card company information they need to sell your debt and then the collector takes it further. Then they take you to court. Well I found an attorney who has offered from PA, to take them all involved to court for all damages. Where is our government when you need an investigation. Mr. Trump, we need your help with this credit card company taking money and justifying.

    Isn't it amazing that all of these people have chosen to have poor credit after perfect credit because a credit card can raise your rates to impossible heights and to also justify duplicating triple and double charges. I contacted the Republican Party requesting an investigation. They did take it seriously, so maybe all of you will be getting some kind of answer soon. The consumer protection bureau just takes information and doesn't follow through, so skip that step. Secondly getting any kind of help actually hurts you. Stay away from any form of "debt consolidation".

    I will keep you updated, but it's all a step by step process to ruin consumers right down to local. Courts get their paid day in office too. I am ready to try living in another country at this point. We are being robbed every day without justification! I'm almost sure this site is doing the same. They all offer to help? When? This website has been the same for many years, so where are those who were helped? hahaha. Not one I'm almost sure. Oh wait, you can pay some money and then they might?

    I have been receiving their stupid letter for over 6 months now. I read their brochure and not interested. I read reviews of many unsatisfied credit card holders. From that note I had no desire to be bullied by this bank. After receiving numerous letters I finally got fed up and contacted them. Usually promising to stop sending them. Never stopped. Even spoke with bubble headed management and still they send their stupid letter. This lets me know never to do business with such a corporate business. I still receive these stupid brochures.

    Capital One credit card services are committing fraud with reporting incorrect information to the credit agencies!! April 7, 2017 I paid the entire amount owed on the account. Capital One decides they will withhold the payment until April 13 with the most OUTLANDISH statement, "WE froze your payment because this isn't the usual method of payment you pay?!" The company has reported false information not once but twice on April 16 & 26 stating I have no available credit line, states the entire account is unpaid?! WTH?! This is a gross miscarriage in justice!! Beware of Capital One and their fraudulent processing of customers payments!! This is incomprehensible?!

    When a value customer has paid their account on time and before the due date, Capital One has due diligence to post the truth and not fabricate information causing unnecessary stress upon customers who seek to keep their credit score up to par!! Should this unwanted & unwarranted behavior continue, be prepared for consequences to be rendered in a court room!! Let this be a warning to those whom wish to apply for any type of credit services with Capital One. DO NOT APPLY FOR ANY CREDIT WITH CAPITAL ONE.

    I wish I could just give 0 starts. Capital One is corrupt. I have pristine credit and never use the card, and was charged annual fees. I was told they would waive them, and once they forgot and don't have record of that promise. More recently, I was out of town and they assessed late fees on the membership fee--mind you, I never use the card, I have not used it in years but have been worried about canceling it as I did not want it to impact my credit. At any rate, when I talked with them, they promised me the late fees would not impact my credit nor would canceling the account, so they waived the late fee and membership fees and closed the account. Today, I found out my credit score went from 819 to 709 because of capital one. Nothing I did, this was all on their end. So, now I have to do a bunch of work to try and restore my credit and I never use the card. Unbelievable.

    I was surprised my APR was so high after my 9% Capital One card skyrockets to almost 22%. I was using it to buy materials for a new house and getting what I thought were a nice rewards bonus, not so much. I called in to request them lower my rate and they said they could go down to 19%. I was not very happy with the 3% decrease and having no late payments, and being a loyal customer for 5 years. Paying my card off many times before and having no issues on my account whatsoever. I am pretty surprised at the company at this point with the competitive rates from other credit companies. I would have thought they would be there to take care of their loyal clientele. Unfortunately, I will most likely pay my card off and cancel Capital One. I have since educated other friends and family about this and they have looked at their statements to their surprise the same results. A 9% to 22 % APR increase and no lates or issues on their accounts.

    We are all canceling our business with Cap One as a result. I am hoping there will be some heat put on this company to change their business ethic in the APR area but even lowering to 12% or 14% is high but still not as bad. This is why so many people are in debt to their credit cards and have to file bankruptcy in this country. I am thankful I am able to pay this off and terminate my relationship with Capital One. I imagine for some it would be as easy and they may not even know they are paying this much APR if they have not looked. I guess deception is the way some companies make money. I would never support that. I feel that a company like this should be a bit more crystal clear on their cards and APR negotiations. Especially after gunning for your business with a nice 9% card and bonus yet no options once you have decided to use it and run the balance up a little. See Ya Cap One!

    I purchased a new $700 AV receiver from Walmart.com but the purchase was from a marketplace provider DiscountsJungle (a very unethical company). DiscountsJungle sent me a bubble wrapped used AV Receiver (not the styrofoam end caps and plastic bag protection in a new item). I attempted to setup and use it in my home theater and discovered the HDMI ports don't work. So I contact Walmart.com to return the item and request a prepaid shipping label because they didn't send new. Then, I discover that Walmart doesn't handle the return and I have to negotiate with DiscountsJungle. DiscountsJungle said their records show a new device was sent. I sent pictures of the AV receiver in bubble wrap and the remote scratched up on both sides - it was loose in the box and not in a plastic bag. From an unboxing video and online user manual, batteries were included and the end cap packaging was missing.

    DiscountsJungle refused to honor my request for full refund and prepaid shipping label. This is where I filed a dispute with Capital One thinking they would help like so many times I've disputed similar situations with my other credit card company Chase. The Capital One dispute process is a complete joke and they blame Visa for the bad process which is **.

    First they act like a normal credit dispute- crediting your account and asking Walmart/DiscountsJungle for information. Weeks go by. Then, Capital sends me a email saying the dispute is considered closed, they charge back the $700 and the documentation is coming to me in the snail mail which I can respond to it then - keep in mind Capital One hasn't requested any documentation from me yet but they consider the case closed. Then the letter is so discouraging against continuing the dispute(attached). They request among other things a second opinion on whether it is used or not from a store/business on their letterhead and have them check the HDMI ports. I'm speechless - they think I'm making this up?? That I'm trying to scam them? Again, Capital One has not looked at my evidence.

    So I take a deep breath and look at the documents sent in the snail mail and two of the pages are illegible. So, I call back and request better copies of what was sent. Get this, they said they can't send them again even after speaking with a manager. The customer rep Daniel couldn't even read the two pages. Is this reasonable dispute resolution?? So, finally after 45 mins on the phone, the rep called Walmart.com to request better copies of the pages. This is where a respectable company acts like one and it was Walmart. Quiana told Capital One how to retrieve the pages again but with Quiana on the phone I went over the whole story. Quiana said to hold on while she talks with DiscountsJungle. It took 10 mins - DiscountsJungle would not take it back with refund even though Walmart offered to pay return shipping.

    From what I've read and experienced, DiscountsJungle sends defective or used products to 20% of their customers and charges restocking fees or refuses return. I really think this is DiscountsJungle's business model. And, they are taking advantage of Capital One's outrageous dispute process. The good news is Quiana came back from speaking with DiscountsJungle with the same impression I had and she fully refunded the $700 to my charge card and said I'm free to do whatever I want with the broken AV receiver. Until Quiana's help, my thoughts on Walmart were in line with DiscountsJungle. But, I will definitely use Walmart.com again but maybe not the marketplace vendors- haha.

    Summary: Capital One's dispute process is outrageous and I won't be using them much in the future. DiscountsJungle is highly unethical and Walmart.com should not allow them to continue as a marketplace seller. Many complaints have been registered against DiscountsJungle and I would recommend NEVER buying from them. Sorry for the long post.

The 400.00 worth of payments has been completely erased by their fees. There is no point in paying them! They refused to do anything about the late charges. Or set anything right!

You have charged me double what I paid and still asking for more!?" I still haven't gotten my credit back of what the person paid.

    I have had my card for less than a month and already regret the decision to open it. After not using credit cards for over 5 years, I opened one solely for the purpose of business expenses after I changed jobs. I read ratings prior to applying for the card, and it was praised for being a great means in building your credit score. In addition to the ease in building great credit, the 1.5% cash back is what appealed to me the most given the amount of business expenses I incur.

    Because of my low credit limit and volume of use, I am essentially required to make frequent payments in order to even utilize the card. For reference, it's easy for me to rack up $1000 in one week due to the amount of business travel. My first two payments were somewhere to the tune of $350 and $750 and were paid within a couple weeks of each other. Payments made before 8 pm post same-day. Payments made after 8 pm post next-day, and funds are supposed to be available the day after a posted payment.

    So, I made my $750 payment on a Friday after 8 pm on March 31; it posted on April 1. I attempted to use my card on the evening of April 2 to purchase airline tickets for travel the same week. It was declined. After calling customer service they informed me that my funds were on hold until April 5 because I had already made a payment that month. I explained that it is used solely for business purposes and I have to make frequent payments in order to utilize my card to the extent that I do. Given that this was a Sunday evening, they were unable to verify with my bank that my payment had cleared. Fine.

    A few days had passed and I had not attempted to use my card since. I had not logged into my account to verify that my funds were available, but I assumed that on April 5 the hold would be released since that was the date they initially gave me. I attempted to check into a hotel late on April 5 using my card, and it was again declined. After the customer service agent received an earful he said, "Your funds are set to release at 8 am tomorrow but if you need it now I can forward you to the department that will take care of that." Yes, I need it now! I was transferred to another agent who called my bank to verify that the funds had cleared. She verified that my payment cleared and posted on April 3. TWO DAYS PRIOR!

    If you're not familiar with how the financial market works, companies take your payment and reinvest it back into the market and earn interest on it. The longer they have your payment earning interest before releasing funds back to you, the more money they make. While a day or two in the market may not earn much for one person, imagine compounding this by the millions of people who utilize these companies. Capital One is profiting from that frequent 10-day hold that is placed on your account while they "wait for the payment to clear." While I understand that a hold until a payment clears may be necessary, the fact that they continue the hold after the payment has cleared should be illegal, especially when a profit is involved. You can be absolutely certain that as soon as you swipe that card the available credit is adjusted down... but hey, forget about getting your funds for a week or more.

    Anyway, once my bank verified the payment posted I was told my funds were available for immediate use. I am fervently typing this review because after purchasing two more round trip airline tickets on my card tonight (April 8) I decided to check my Capital One account to verify that they in fact released my funds. The airline said my reservation was confirmed, however my account still says I have $83 in available credit. The same thing happened last week after "purchasing" tickets. The reservation was confirmed initially, but I received an email from Capital One thereafter telling me my transaction was declined, leaving me in reservation limbo and requiring subsequent calls to the airline to pay with a different card.

    The fact that my available credit still says $83 worries me that the hold was never released. If I get another email saying my transactions were declined I. AM. GOING. TO. LOSE. MY. **. I have missed out on cash back for at least $2000 in eligible purchases in the past month. Save yourself the time and headache and do not do business with these crooks.

    Bad bank. I'm scared I'm going to lose my franchise over them. I've delayed payments twice and it holds money longer than it says it will. It promises it will show a deposit from an outside account through showing the date it will be accepted. Then it doesn't go through. No good. They take forever to process a deposit. I waited for days and days before I could initially buy my franchise due to the money not showing up. I have (2) other banks I use. I was loving the "free" account thing. And it's not worth the headache. Don't get this bank.

    I have been a Capital One banking customer for a little over 7 years and a Capital One credit card customer for close to 5 years. I have had issues with Capital One banking prior that were usually resolved quickly but never had an issue with credit card services. Today I received a letter in the mail stating my credit card account was closed and discontinue use of the card. I called Capital One to find out why my card was closed, apparently my card was already closed for a week or more and the letter was dated on March 24, 2017. They informed me that my card was closed because my last three payments bounced back even though I later manually went in to pay the accounts before the due date.

    I usually pay my Capital One card from my credit union account. For four years my payment would come from my credit union savings account, I had change to have it withdrawn from my checking account with the same credit union. Unfortunately the account does not allow you to link balances. My last three payments were processed but kept bouncing back and I was not sure why so I would go in and pay manually after the payment would bounce back. After this month's payment was again bounced back that is when I realized the Capital One Credit card payments were still being taken from the savings account in which there was not enough funds there to cover the amount I was paying, so instead of the Credit Card being linked to my checking account it was still being deducted from my savings account. A simple matter that should not have been too much of an issue and is now rectified.

    Capital One only informs me after I called to inquire why I received a letter that my account is closed that my account has been closed because of the three bounced back payments from the three months prior. I said yes it was a simple mistake in which the funds should have been withdrawn from my checking account opposed to my savings account as it previously once was. They informed that unfortunately because my account was closed already there was nothing they could do. Ok so, now what? "Oh you will just have to open a new card" even though I still have to pay off my current balance on a card I cannot use and they cannot transfer that balance to new card.

    I informed them that the customer service for long term customers is horrible in my opinion. If you see a red flag or concern in a customers account should they not have a department that reaches out to customers via phone or email discussing the potential of an account closure due to the following usage of the account? No they just closed the account for a simple mishap then later explain why they closed the account and that there is nothing they can do. I told them I simply may not return to Capital One Credit Cards as I believe that customer service process is horrible.

    I have other bank accounts and have had other credit cards. I am big on customer service especially in banking. With so many scams and other fraudulent activity going on there should be better customer service with in Capital One Credit Card department. A customer of 5 years I am disappointed my card was just closed like that. No pre-warning no attempt to contact and find out why the unusual payment activity as I never missed a payment in 5 years and never had this issue before. I am considering opening a credit card account with another bank. Not please with the customer service in the credit card department.

    Tried their Platinum credit card for a couple months. Based on my experience so far, I will no longer be using it much (except for one tiny purchase each month to help add to my credit). I will use my Chase credit cards instead. Chase seems much more reliable, organized, and appear to have much more competent and better-trained staff. Issues with my experience: Capital One repeatedly took money out of my checking accounts (upon my request, when I made online payments), but was not crediting those payments to my Capital One balance.

    It makes complete sense that Capital One needs to wait for the payment to clear before crediting my account. But the delay was inordinate. Payment would leave my checking account, and over a week later, Capital One still claims they are waiting for payment to clear. I had them call my bank so that a bank agent could verify that the payment cleared. It is difficult to believe (that on multiple occasions) it would take MORE THAN A WEEK from the time payment left my checking account, before Capital One actually received the funds.

    When I asked customer service reps why this kept happening, they would not give me a direct answer. They gave circuitous answers unresponsive to the specific question. They simply needed to explain why there is such a long delay (more than a week) between when the money leaves my bank, and when Capital One acknowledges receipt of the payment. They were unable or unwilling to do provide either an explanation for this or a troubleshooting to provide options for how to make sure Capital One is able to see my payments in a more timely manner.

I called to see if they would waive the annual fee. They said no. Then said "Let's see if we can upgrade you". Then they said no offers available. I mentioned just closing my account since I don't really use it and it's ridiculous to pay for a card I don't use. Did they offer to try to keep me as a loyal customer??? Hell no! Don't give me crap that you care about your loyal customers because clearly you DO NOT!!! All you could say is "Well I'm sorry to lose you as a customer, but you are more than welcome in the future to apply for another card". Are you FREAKING kidding me!!!

After endlessly trying to resolve such issues, I realized that along with Capital One Visa's rote statement, "First, may I offer you our sincere condolences?" should be, "We no longer want you as a customer!" I mistakenly thought my deceased husband and I would have been considered to be ‘valued’ Capital One Visa clients, having paid our/my bill each month in its entirety – both before and after my husband's recent death. Extenuating circumstances (like death) were irrelevant to them; they canceled my card, his card, and rescinded half of the points that we accumulated together.

    I got a Capital One credit card back in 2007 in the amount of $500.00 dollars. I only used the card one time and by 2008 I myself, my mother and father had paid the capital one credit card off, and I asked for them several time to shut said card off and they refused and keep charging me and my parents and I kept paying even though the account was paid in full and it was unfair that they wouldn't shut the card off per my request of asking several time and still charging me. They've went as far as putting it on my credit report and I no longer owe them. They finally shut my card off in 2009 after being asked several times, but the account is still open.

    I'm tired of this company and can't get them to take themselves off my credit report even though they've been paid in full and won't close the account that I no longer even have. It's making me suffer mentally knowing my credit is bad because of them and can't get a place to live for me and my family. I shouldn't have to continue to pay mentally or physically for something that's already paid for plus they're trying to say they have judgement against me for almost $5,000 dollars and they say it's interest and attorney fees but I've never gotten anything by mail that state any court and of me owing in over 10 years but it's on my credit report.

    Opened Kohl's account this past summer, Capital One is Kohl's creditor. Received letter a couple months ago from Mike **, Capital One Executive Office, informing me they were closing this Capital One credit card account. Reason: "We have observed activity on a past or present Capital One account that is not consistent with our expectations of usage for personal, family or household purposes." Had a balance of $580 from household purchases, don't know what was wrong with expectations for usage. Called Kohl's, said they would call back, never did. Wasn't going to charge anymore at Kohl's anyway, so didn't think much about it.

    Received another letter from Capital One Saturday, March 18, 2017, stating they were closing my Saks Fifth Avenue account that I have had for 32 years and 8 months, for same reason as Kohl's cancellation. Had $5,300.00 limit on Saks account. High balance was $2,800 a couple years ago, have paid it down and owed $53.02 as of today, March 21, 2017. Called Saks Saturday after receiving letter, could not give reason for closure. Called Capital One and was transferred back to Saks. Went through this process 3 times Saturday, with no explanation from anyone.

    Called Saks credit today, March 21, and was transferred to Capital One again, spoke with 2 different departments today, the last being the Executive Office. Told the rep I have checked all 3 credit reports as of yesterday, FICO scores being 763, 758, and 757. Zero collection accounts, no times since negative on any account. Credit usage 28%, 30%, and 30%. No public records. I am livid at this point. Could not get an answer as to why account was closed, she just quoted the reason that was given in the letter. Went back and forth with her for 10-15 minutes, but she would not give me an answer. What on earth did I do wrong???

    This was my oldest account and have never been late with one payment to Saks. Capital One took over as creditor from HSBC five years ago. They didn't close account when they took Saks credit over but they close account now 5 years later. I requested for the account to be re-opened, but she said it could not be done. Nothing derogatory on any of the 3 credit reports. What is Capital One doing???

    I have always paid the loan amount and additional amount. I also make two payments a month. The loan payment amount is only 191.98. I will always pay 200.00 plus I will pay the additional 50.00 to 70.00 to cover whatever % interest that has accumulated for both payments. So in short I am paying a minimum of 500.00 a month on a loan with a payment of 191.00 a month. However, the non-transparent loan will keep you from seeing how the payment is distributed. This is a red flag. Books are not a new thing and payment statements are not new, therefore there should be no issue in transparent loan payment documentation. I would say a financial industry that does not have full disclosure is in need of a audit. No bank is too big as Wells Fargo and FINRA. That is my next avenue.

    If I could rate them negative stars I would. I had a zero percent interest rate on my Capital One credit card, and had my account set for automatic payments to be withdrawn on the 20th of each month. In December, I lost my checkbook and had to cancel that account, as well as open a new one. While this happened, Capital One issued the automatic payment to my old account and the funds were rejected even though my bank assured me that recurring payments would still go through. Two days later, I went online to make a payment that would cover my tuition cost. The information available online indicated that the minimum payment posted for that month and no messages or notifications were issued to me regarding the funds that were rejected. At that time, I also changed the information for my automatic payment account.

    Unknown to me, however, Capital One canceled my auto pay because of the rejected payment that I was NEVER notified of (although the phone rep claims that they issued a letter 2 days after the payment would already have been considered late). Because I had no clue that my auto pay was canceled, I did not think about it again until my credit score declined. Because this is the only card I use, I logged in and sure enough, there was a notice at the top of my account stating that I had missed payments. Of course because of this, my zero percent interest suddenly went to 24%. I did not receive any phone, e-mail or snail mail notification prior to logging into my account. I figured, I would contact customer service and they would immediately see the error, and send a corrected report to the credit agencies. Boy was I wrong!

    The first chat representative did not seem to understand what I was trying to tell him and told me that I would have to contact the credit agencies myself. I found this to be against all good customer service standards and asked for contact information in order to have Capital One recognize their error and resolve my account. The second person I spoke with was very helpful and assured me that I did my due process in maintaining my account and that she would issue a dispute and it would be taken care of.

    About three weeks later, I received a letter stating that Capital One was not going to correct the information because the payment was late. Well no duh the payment was late! It was late because of the chain of errors that occurred regarding my account. I called and got nowhere with the phone rep who then transferred me to the rudest supervisor possible. This person was not helpful at all and would not listen to anything I said or acknowledge that errors occurred on their end. If Capital One promotes people with zero customer service skills to a supervisory position, I would advise everyone to sell their stock in this company immediately.

    Anyway, the bottom line is, Capital One conveniently ensured that I had a late payment that turned my zero percent interest into 24%, they damaged my credit and my issue is still not resolved. This company should be investigated for fraudulent practices, their front line staff trained and empowered to provide problem resolution and their supervisors thoroughly screened for customer service skills and fired if they cannot provide adequate service. WARNING: DO NOT OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH THIS COMPANY. I cannot wait until my balance is paid off so that I can cancel my account.

    I have been a Capital One cc holder for at least 7 years and up until now everything was fine. I generally don't carry a balance so I am actively making my monthly payments on time and I pay in full. Since we got the card we have paid out of one specific bank, but about 8 months ago we started using a new bank account to pay. By default Cap One selects the old bank account when making a payment. About 6 months ago I accidentally did not change to the new account when making my payment and of course that caused an issue. I called and followed their instructions to remedy the issue. Well I did it again this month, I realized that I did it again... Long and short, Capital One cancelled my account. I called, spoke to the customer service rep, the supervisor and the manager. Did not matter, they still cancelled my account. Because I failed to select the right bank account in the online banking app. Urghhhh.

    It was not a financial issue as my payment was not even due. As soon as I realized what I did, I made another payment from the right account the next day. Did not matter. They cancelled my account. I am sure the spirit of the rule that they used to cancel my account was focused around people not making payments on time, not for someone who simply did not change their default account when making an early payment.

    As many of the reviews on here, mine is very similar. I had two Capital One accounts since 2014. Both were always paid on time and paid off often throughout my history. I never had one payment returned, or over limit on either one card. This last month, I made full payment to pay off one of the cards, so that I could use the card to purchase 2 International Airline Tickets. I made payment on a Monday.

    By Thursday, nothing showing on my card as a crew, but the payment does show "completed" on the website. I finally called to find out what the issue was, and Capital One told me that my payment was on hold until it was cleared by my bank. I explained that I had never had a hold, that I needed to purchase the tickets by a date specific and also that the bank I paid with I have always used. The bank I used, did not show the payment yet as posting, but there was more than enough money in the account available for the payment I had submitted.

    I gave it another day as Capital One stated that they would/should release the hold by the following day, same issue occurred. I called back and was now told that my payment was returned insufficient funds on the bank. I called my bank with Capital One on the phone to verify what they were saying. My bank stated no payment was submitted or returned at that matter. The Capital One supervisor was so not helpful. She just listened and then once my bank confirmed there was some kind of issue, I was told that they would have to research further.

    The next morning, I looked online at my account to see if the payment was credited, or rejected, or what status it was in. There was a red writing indicating that my account was on restriction. I called Capital One as I had never seen this on my account, I was told that the account was in process of being closed out. I was advised that because my payment was returned, that I was not in line with their agreement, and despite being a stellar client for nearly 3 years.

    How on earth were they cancelling me? I received no response, no supervisor was available and I was essentially told it is what it is and a letter was sent. I could not believe it and they even tried to run my last payment through my bank again, which I had stopped payment on through my bank. I checked again on a final note and they have elected to cancel both my cards I had. Since they have closed, they will get the minimum payments each month. I am still in shock just by the manner of trust (little or none), their lack of explanation, and most critically lack of professionalism to just close my account without any notification. I would absolutely caution you not to apply and be trustful of them in any capacity. Had I been out of the US with my credit card and it had been closed, I would have been in a real fix.

I told her, "It's the 11th, the payment was posted the 8th and taken out the 9th, I'm pretty sure you can see it."

    A man set up a fake email address, obtained some personal information and established a Capital One credit card in my name in October 2016. I initially mistook this for an account I had requested 5 1/2 years ago and used it for a minor amount. Capital One sent statements to the fake email address, accepted information from this man with no appropriate verification and approved his expenditures of approximately $11,000. Since they never sent the statements to me which showed the purchases I have no idea what he bought or the exact amount. Capital One contacted me saying they suspected fraud. One of his purchases was sent to me in error so I was able to obtain the erroneous email address and the cellphone number for this man. I provided this information to Capital One. I wrote them more than once and indicated I was agreeable to paying the nominal amount I charged.

    I have talked to them on the telephone. On two occasions the representative of Capital One could not be understood because of a language barrier. On three occasions I was to be transferred to their fraud division but the transfers never went through because their fraud division lines were so busy. Limited research indicates that Capital One ranks high if not number one as a litigious institution. They have been anything but cooperative in resolving this issue. Institutions like Capital One contribute to the widespread problem of identity theft with their lack of discovery, cooperation and good business practice. I would discourage anyone from dealing with them and only wish I could given them less than one star.

    Updated on 03/29/2017: I received a canned response on how valuable their customers are(?). There is a new development that I feel compelled to publish. I am in the process of purchasing a house. Credit is an important factor. The amount of debt run up on this credit card through identity theft is less than it would cost to hire an attorney to fight on my behalf. Because of potential damage to my credit I paid the balance--although I will continue to pursue the fraud to which Capital One is a participating party. They cashed the check. I checked my credit rating yesterday. Capital One has filed a delinquency report in the last few days which has dropped my credit rating by over 70 points!

    One issue that is important here and was previously mentioned - Capital One sent monthly statements to a dummy email address. I didn't even see any statements from Capital One for the first few months. Not only have they destroyed my credit but they have retroactively charged me fees and penalties. Amazing. Upon finding this out yesterday I called their "fraud" telephone number. After spending more than an hour on the phone with their representative I was told to "call back tomorrow".

    I may now lose the chance to purchase the house. If that is the case I may as well pursue legal action against Capital One for being an active participant in the fraud. They sent a letter on 1/19/2017 that states "you may be a victim of identity theft". It would be no stretch of imagination to include (mental) pain and suffering and claim substantial damages. The foregoing is not merely an opinion but documented fact. Did Wells Fargo provide Capital One with a business model? I wish there was a rating with a minus star.

    I got this credit card because I was going abroad-it was recommended to me by many people. There are no charges for international use, and you get miles for the money you spend. The two times I interacted with customer service, the experience was amazing. They were very friendly both times, asked how I was doing and made everything easy to understand. I was able to get everything I needed worked out quickly. I have never worked with such positive customer service! The only problem I have with Capital One is that the website is a little bit difficult to navigate. Other than that, They are Wonderful!

    I am frustrated beyond belief with Capital One as a company and their customer service is unacceptable. About three months ago I received a pre-approval invitation in the mail and applied for the card and in transit they continued to send me pre-approvals and I did fill them out believing they, yet have been a type of different credit card. Long story short I ended up holding three MasterCards from Capital one whom approved all three and whom originally sent me all of the invitations. I didn't go out and seek them because I do have poor credit but I am not going to lie of course. I always look for another opportunity to get back on the right track as it applies to my credit. While holding these three cards I have made all my payments and have paid way more than the minimum payments. Of course I am now trying to build my credit and use this new opportunity to my advantage.

    Well 5 days ago the hammer dropped through Capital one and they RESTRICTED my first account. They RESTRICTED it right after I made a payment. Was confused when I saw this on my account and called customer service and they informed me there was fraudulent activity on my card and someone in a different department needs to talk to me but they were not available at that time. OK so I gave them the best contact number and waited for a call. Four days later no calls from this department and a few callbacks from me and still no resolve as it applies to the restriction.

    Now just today all accounts are restricted and still no call back so of course I called back again today. The same song and dance but now this time she claims that they are now investigating maybe a possible computer glitch where some people may have been approved that should not have been approved and give them 48 hours to get back to me for an explanation. I told the lady that it has been way past 48 hours and is this time going to be the time they call back for real and she still repeated the 48 your time limit. I am just so pissed off but really don't have a recourse and if they don't allow me to use these accounts no more then they will be stuck with the balances because I am now going to treat them like they treated me and will tell them I will get back to them based on my timeline.

    It is not a good business practice they are doing as it applies to issuing Credit cards and then giving their customers no service. I am so mad about this and feel as though I was set up to once again hurt my credit and be left holding the bag. Could someone help me out there with some advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks but Capital One BLOWS!!!

    I've been a customer of Capital One since 2012 and never was late til last year. I was late two months because I was having some financial difficulties. I called Capital One and ask if they could help me get back on track. The representative said, "Yes we can help and Capital One has a program that can lower your monthly payments and restrict your account until you get back on track." I said, "That's great. Let's start this program." So I've been making my monthly payments on time and lowered my balance significantly and was now my card will be unrestricted.

    I called Capital One and asked when will I be able to use my card again. The representative said that it permanently restricted and once you have a zero balance your account will close. I was what???!!! That is not what I was told. I was so upset. The representative said, "We sent the program's disclosure to you." I told her I never received that disclosure. She said, "Sorry, but once it's closed we can't reopen it and you'll just have to reapply and see if you get approved." I felt like I was misled. I will never open a credit card with them again. I think the situation was handled poorly and unprofessionally.

    I had a payment due on my Capital One credit card which was due on the 14th of the month. I made that payment (early) on the 2nd day of the month. Then, when I had a little extra money, I figured I would make my payment (early) for the following month on the 17th. Two payments within 15 days. Well, when I contacted their Customer Service and inquired as to why I was still showing a payment due for the 14th of that following month, they stated that it had been applied to my balance but I had paid it too EARLY so it had not been applied to cover THAT payment.

    What a scam! Had I not contacted them and just gone about my life thinking I was being a good consumer by paying my payment EARLY, they would STICK me with a $28 LATE FEE. Their customer service and very deceptive practices led me to post this review. Take note of this if you are considering opening an account with them. This type of practice penalizes you for paying early and gives them the opportunity to collect supposed late fees even though you already made your payment. Consumer beware!

I do pay an annual fee for this card but I get 5 times that back just in the rewards I receive. Any credit card has its high interest rates. To avoid this pay your card off monthly. Think about it. You buy food, gas or whatever. Use your card for all your purchases and pay your card off. I love it.

My last "statement" went to my junk email folder that only had my annual fee on it. I didn't see it and received a late fee. I gladly paid the late fee and the annual fee. I tried to talk to customer service to ensure that this would not show up on my credit report. I don't have anything negative on my credit report and I wanted it to stay that way. They told me there is nothing they can do and now I have a "late 30 days" on my report. I informed them that I wanted to close my account so they are refunding my annual fee and $17 in rewards. So basically I received a "late payment" on my credit report for money that I'm getting back anyway. They could have continued getting an annual fee from me for doing nothing if they would have just worked with me a little bit. They had no concern about closing my account.

However when she did so the cards were suspended until she sent them a copy of her driver's license, phone bill, and social security card. When she tried to find out why she had to send these items she was made to feel like a criminal. She ended up sending the requested items and after three days they finally decided to start her review to allow her to change her email. Sad thing is is that I have two credit cards with them and will never use them because of this situation. We will pay her accounts off and also never use the cards again.

    I had a Capital One card about 20 years ago. My 1st credit card. They told me the fastest way to build my credit with them was to spend close to all $100 of my credit limit and pay it in full for 3 months. The first month I spent about $80. Then they added the monthly interest charge, which took me over the $100 limit so they charged me an over limit fee. For three months I called them and told them that they could not consider the interest they added as my spending. They apologized and removed the overcharge fee. I got sick of their clearly borderline illegal charges and lies. I paid them off the 3rd time and called to cancel my card. Oh, they were so sorry about my problems. They wanted to give me their $1000 no hassles card. No late fees, no overage charges etc. I said no way and I will never trust that company again!

    My problem started in 2014 after attending a Real Estate seminar guru named Armando Montelongo. I had a great credit score, life was going my way until 2014 after joining Armando Montelongo Real Estate course my life went downhill fast. The promise from AM seminar They promised within 90 days we would be doing a house flip and the money would pay off the credit cards and all other money I used to enroll in the course and that they would send a mentor to my area for 3 days to do that flip, the course cost me my life savings to the tune of almost $50,000.00. They said, "Call your credit card companies if you don't have enough money to join and ask for a credit increase," so I did. It's 2017 and NO HOUSE FLIP, so I'm out $50,000.00 and ruined credit. I Called Capital One asking them to help me go after this scam artist.

    They said no they couldn't do that. It had been over 3 months. It was in the 4th month that I called. My life was ruined. Broke and bad credit and only a part time job. Now they want to take me to court and sue me. We had our first hearing in court this week, looks like Capital One wants to go to trial. I told them it's not that I don't want to pay "I Can't". I have more month than paycheck, and with my credit ruined no way to borrow the money.

    I am traveling in Africa from the States. Lost my wallet due to my being stupid in Joburg. ALL MY FAULT NO QUESTION. I have a credit card and a separate debit card with Capital. The day I lost the cards I called them up.. I have no phone and use skype and notified them... then the problems began. They wanted to send new cards to the States... I was in Joburg headed for Cape Town so I wanted cards sent there. They could not comprehend what was going on and made me jump through hoops to even send the cards out. I answered more questions than you can believe and passed every test they threw at me.

    They being intelligent sent the cards to me on a street but with only my name and street name, no street address. That caused problems with FedEx. Took 4 days extra to straighten that mess out. Debit card was simple to activate, credit card now 18 days and they refuse to activate due to possible fraudulent usage, card has not been activated and never used so how can there be fraud on it?

    They won't tell me because of possible fraud, well if you don't tell me how can I fix it? They want all sorts of info, including some things I do not have as I am not in States but on vacation in Cape Town. Gave them photo of my passport with me holding it next to my face so they could see photo and see me... Nope not good, told them I have debit card from them and sent photo of debit card and passport... Nope no good, they want something with my address in States like drivers license ... stolen with wallet so I do not have it.

    I have my AIG TRAVEL INS WITH MY NAME AND HOME ADDRESS... NOPE NO GOOD... Gave them copy of credit card bill showing name and address all charges and fact the stolen card was paid in full no disputes, all paid in full... Nope could be fake.. So look up my acct here is new cc number... no! At now a couple weeks in and cannot talk to them during the day due to 7 hour time difference and them not open till 8 am.. 3pm my time so all calls made after dinner lasting an hour plus every time. Combine that with internet that keeps dropping out and then I have to call back.. Sometimes internet down for hours, and fight all over again.

    You have to submit docs to the ia and email doc they send you and if you navigate to bank website and take a screen shot their site will not accept it. So I take screenshot, take my camera, take photo of screenshot, upload to ipad and send it that way. Any docs take 3-4 hours plus to upload and that's only if internet does not disconnect. It usually does so it has taken a day to send a photo. I call and fight them every night and all I get is more and more frustrated as nothing I do is good enough. Now I have told them easily 100x I am in Cape Town, yet they say they called and cannot reach me at my home... You ** idiots I am in Cape Town South Africa, do you have any idea where Africa is, it is not in US.

    Now they want my ss card. So again, first off I have not seen my ss card in years, I have no need for it and it is not accepted for ID anywhere and you're warned to keep it safe. Now even if I knew where it was I would not take it with me overseas and if I did it would have been stolen with my wallet. So night after night my stress level climbs to a crescendo and I start screaming at them to tell me what the problem is so we can get it straightened out but they refuse.

    Now it is Sunday morning and they will not open until Monday morning EST time or 3 pm Africa time so I cannot talk to anyone for another 24 hours unless I talk to "Debbie or John or Robert" in India... who keep telling me they are a supervisor and I tell them I need to talk to their superior and they say they are the boss. To which I say give me USA and they say closed till Monday.

    In the meantime my automatic payment to health insurance co has bounced as well as payments to heating company, phone company, and cable company and I cannot give them new card number as CAPITAL ONE REFUSES TO ACTIVATE IT UNTIL I PROVE WHO I AM BUT SINCE NOTHING I GIVE THEM IS ANY GOOD unless they tell me what the issue is I cannot fix it and until I fix it they won't tell me anything so I cannot fix anything. Once I fix the problem they will gladly tell me what the problem is... MORONS!!!

    So from Jan 25 to today Feb 12 I have called them good 25 times and half the time skype disconnects so I have to call and start from scratch. Never in 59 years have I dealt with anyone so ignorant and horrid in my life. To call this customer service horrid is a massive understatement and if I knew who to report this to I would in a heartbeat. At this point I ABSOLUTELY HATE CAPITAL ONE.

I was told it was my word against theirs (AGAIN) and that there was nothing they could do.

    During the course of the convo I was transferred to the "chat supervisor" who got increasingly rude and nonhelpful. When I requested to be transferred to his supervisor he told me he did not have one. I asked for any supervisor above him and he refused. It took 47 minutes (I have the WHOLE conversation saved with time stamps) of him straight out refusing to transfer me, give me his ID number or ANY way to contact someone above him. He got caught in a lie in the end of our conversation and when I called him on it he relented and suddenly remembered his supervisor's name and ID number but still never did provide a contact number or email for a supervisor for me to submit a complaint.

    I am disgusted with them and just put in for a balance transfer to Discover. I'm grateful to leave but very bothered that they can keep doing this to people (In the last 5 years with them I have had 7 inaccurate late payments reported, I've fought with them and gotten the charges reversed but with EVERY instance I have had to appeal to the Credit Bureau and provide proof that they messed up YET AGAIN to get it off my score.) I wish there was somewhere within Capital One to file a complaint.

    Capital One is the biggest con artists around. They charge you for fees that go against their own rules. The cutoff time for deposits is 9:00PM daily. These ** will charge you overdraft fees when you put the money through the ATM before the 9PM cutoff time. Even though your receipt shows the money is available and current as a positive balance, these con artists will play games and deliberately manipulate the deposit times online to purposely show you overdrafted your account. Have 3 ATM receipts that show prior to 9PM I had a positive balance, put money in the account before 9PM cash to cover a negative balance. These ** charged me $70 for 2 overdrafts charges claiming I had no money in the account and yet I was able to withdraw funds directly off the same account that so called had the negative balance.

    I have been a customer with Capital One for over 12 years. In November 2016 and December 2016 I noticed payments not charged being made to my accounts. The totals were several hundred dollars and I only owed under 100 dollars on watch one. This was not anything that I had done so I disputed the payments. I first called Capital One and they said there was nothing they could reverse. "Please talk to your bank". So I did and within 24 hrs my charges were credited to my checking account because I did not authorize them and these payments were then marked as disputed and returned due to fraudulent activity.

    When I called them the next day I asked them if they could see where the charges were coming from. They said... "oh you called the department yesterday and made these payments." I seriously never called to make payments and had auto debits for the min monthly payments. So I asked for them to send me a new cards and they did... So 30 days passed and 500 dollars worth of payments to Capital One hit my checking account again!! This is 3 days before Christmas this time. I am not happy. So I call them again they say... "oh it's coming from your checking account information not your debit card," which I had just cancelled twice over last 30 days.

    At this point and several phone calls got Cap One and my bank to resolve this continued annoying problem! So I finally get the charges flipped, pay the regular payments and only to find out all of those disputed payments that I didn't owe were added to my balance and now I owe them! Oh and let's not forget... They said they closed my accounts because the payments were disputed. I was in the process of rebuilding my credit and almost to a decent score and then this happens. I'm now sending all of this to the credit bureaus to dispute the closing of my accounts and also the balance owed. But closing my accounts for something that is not my fault!!! Unreal. Good luck everyone! I hope you were not looking to buy a house like me!!! Now my score had dropped and I have to dispute which can take up to 6 months.

    I've had this card 2 years with no issues. Last month I saw a membership fee and was confused, because I know I have a $0 annual fee, one of the reasons I chose the card. I didn't do anything at the time, but checked it today and found that my feeling was correct, that there was no fee and is stated specifically with no asterisk or superscript next to it, no fine print. So I call and speak to a representative and she tells me that there is a membership fee and she can waive it once, but never again. I said, "no, there is no annual fee, I don't ever want it appearing on the bill." She got hostility with me telling me that's the way it is and I will be charged here on out. She put me on hold and while waiting I doubted myself on the no asterisk or fine print so I hung up, went over my papers again and verified I was right, again.

    So I called back and got the same response from the next girl, after getting hostile I told her to just cancel the card, because I'm not playing their games. She then transferred me to her supervisor who said the same thing, that maybe it was a 'promotional offer.' I said "I don't care what you call it, it stands as I signed it." The card still has the same exact details today as it did when I signed my agreement, I matched my papers with their existing online details. All of the girls I talked to were extremely rude and not once did they ask about my papers or if they could see them.

    I asked if there were an email address I could send pictures of my documents to and they said they have their own papers, and then said verbatim, "what was on the agreement when I signed it may not be what is on it now." I said, "so you guys can change fees on it at any time, because my papers also state that that won't ever happen." She denied saying along those lines. That's exactly what she said. This company is criminal and I would strongly suggest everyone steer clear of them.

    I'm so disheartened by this complaint. I have had this account for almost two years now NEVER NOT ONCE been late on a payment. I opened this account to rebuild my credit and now this company has takened that away from me. I decided to pay off my remaining balance of $530 and made a payment through my bank account giving them my route number and account number. They ran payment and it went through. Two days later I checked to make sure payment was processed and it says my payment was returned. I immediately called to find out why my payment was returned. The representative told me my bank account was invalid. I said let's double check to make sure my bank account number is correct. It wasn't it was off by ONE number so we corrected it and gave them the corrected account number and processed payment again.

    Today I check my account to make sure again it cleared and my account said restricted!!! I called immediately and they told me because my payment was returned the first time they closed my account... It didn't matter that it was because my account number was off by one number it didn't matter there was money in the account to cover it... It didn't matter I have paid on time for over two years. She said nothing mattered. So I asked to speak to her supervisor. Supervisor said there was nothing she could do and that she would explain this to the case worker.

    I have been penalized for a payment being returned bc they had the wrong account number not because the payment bounced or there was no money. I'm so disgusted over this and heartbroken because I've been working so hard on working on my credit making sure all payments were made on time and paying off my credit card. The only answer they can give me is "there is nothing we can do about it".

After 14 days more requirements to prove my identity. Not in USA currently but working on contract in China. All my requests to communicate over e-mail were ignored. All documents what are eligible for the rest of world not good enough for Capital One. If you try to make a purchase outside of USA be prepared to deal with fraud case and spend hours to deal with them to prove that you are what you are. They are asking you to provide you all info about your travels outside of USA and in additional time could not exceed 30 days. WTF?!!

    Had problems with this bank before. Same issue. Used card in Shanghai and was declined. Fraud case right away. Took one year to resolve the problem since they would not accept any documents unless I appear in bank personally. Easy to get a credit card bank but the most horrible bank when it comes to deal with any problems. Most of the time they create problems by themselves. Experience dealing with this bank is the most horrible I ever experienced ever. Never again deal with this bank.

    Cancelled 3 cards with them as of today. Think twice before you deal with them. Too much harassment, 0 customer service or care about customers. Happy I don't need you Capital One anymore!

My minimum payments hardly took anything off the principal of the card; so I called to see if I could get a better interest rate (after years and years of paying this amount). And they were not willing to work with me at all. I got automated messages on the online chat saying "Sorry, nothing is offered at this time." When I told them I will likely change carriers to a bank with lower interest rates they said "I will be right with you." I waited about 4 minutes and received a message saying "I haven't heard from you in a few minutes, are you still with me?" What the heck??

    I was really excited to get the venture card after all the great buzz about it. When it arrived I went to activate it and was surprised to see that there was ALREADY a fraud issue (although nobody ever told me what it actually was, and the card had obviously never been used by myself or anybody else). I was on the phone with a customer service rep who asked me to upload a photo of my drivers license and email it to them, so I did. I heard nothing from them for weeks until I got a bill for my un-activated card. I called again and spoke with a very rude woman who said that she wanted me to now email a picture of the front and back of my drivers license and social security card. She still would not tell me why they were making it so difficult to activate, and also would not tell me why they hadn't contacted me regarding the issue for over a month now.

    When I told her that I was uncomfortable sending these documents over an email, she just laughed at me and told me if I wanted better customer service I should call during 'normal business hours'. So that's exactly what I did. When I took an afternoon off to call again, this representative told me that because it had taken so long (for them to remember to contact me) I would either need to send them now my drivers license, social security card, AND proof of residency, or I would need to reapply for the card and start this torturous process over.

    Finally I get a hold of a supervisor and he tells me he will resolve the issue, only to get a call a few days later back at square one with the issue. They forgot to do their job and now they want me to clean it up... AGAIN! The supervisor that I spoke with the last argued with me and spoke over me telling me that it's my fault that I had to upload the documents so many times and that if I wanted to talk to someone else that again I would have to call during normal business hours (even though they called me on a Saturday). This is a joke, and a waste of hours and hours of my time. Spare yourself the headache and DO NOT get this card!

Clearly the goal was to sign into his fake site so he could get my credentials and clean me out. Fortunately, not only am I smart enough to see this coming from a mile away, but I don't even have a Capital One account. So, as you do when you get phishing scam Emails, I contacted Capital One per the instructions on their website. Of course, the address they tell you to send fraud reports to is dead. Called the call centre, didn't care. Emailed the CEO himself. He fake bounced my Email back. How do I know he received it and fake bounced it? Because I can tell the difference between a real bounce and a fake one.

    So, tell me this. Why are they so intent on not finding out about these phishing scams? A legitimate company would want to know about scammers cleaning out their clients' accounts like this. Well, the answer is simple. THEY'RE IN ON IT!! That's right. They commission phishing scammers who are not officially part of the company to commit these scams, and then remain willfully ignorant. In exchange for being explicitly asked to scam their customers and turning a blind eye, the scammer gets to keep a cut of the money, and sends the rest off to Capital One. Officially, that was a rogue scammer, and CO knew nothing about it. DO NOT BANK WITH THESE CROOKS!! THEY WILL HIRE A PHISHING SCAMMER TO CLEAN YOU OUT!!

    Writing this review to report how crappy the customer service is at Capital One and how unfriendly the website/online agents are. I was reviewing my account and saw that a disputed amount that I filed a dispute for was re-billed to my account. Tried to access or respond to the merchant's response, but the Capital One site do not provide that opportunity to their customers. Accessed the online account specialist s/w Selena and then passed on to Paul, both of whom were not very helpful and after writing back and forth about my issue, I was asked to call the dispute #, which could have saved me some characters/time, if I was just told that from the beginning. Called the dispute#, s/w Len who obviously needed more training and cannot understand correct English or how to answer a customer's question effectively.

    I told her the issue with being doubled billed by the merchant on the same day, for the same product. Advised rep (Len) that I have a tracking # for the package I returned and I wanted to recoup the shipping costs paid to return item. She went around the world telling me about a link she would send me and I need to write phone & case # on my uploaded document. Now, correct me if I'm wrong if the link is being uploaded to my personal account, should Capital One already have my phone# and the case#??? Len indicated that it was because they receive a lot of documents. So, if a link is given to me to upload something to my account, why in the hell would I be concerned about how many other documents Capital One receives, unless this link is general link used by all reps and they need this information to determine which case the information belongs to.

    If this is the case, then my personal information is not private and possibly sitting on someone's desk in a pile that can be compromised. This chick was clueless, asked for a supervisor, s/w (Kai) who helped but still provided excuses for the rep's lack of understanding. This was my worst experience with Capital One. Not sure if I will continue to have a open account with them. Poor customer service is my pet peeve. Not going to deal with it, as I am the one making the payments.

It doesn't matter how minute it is ie. setting up online account, explaining bank statement, etc. Whether it's a pro or con result from my visits I still feel like I am a VALUED CUSTOMER.

    Thanks for your vote!
