    CapitalOne has ruined my morning, and it had started so nice. Yesterday my card was blocked and I got a call from CapitalOne saying that they had some identity concerns. I had just gotten my VentureOne card a few days ago (for which I applied online). I got a call from the bank representative saying that I need to prove my identity by sending via email my SSN card, the copy of my driver's license, my bank statement and utilities bill with no information scratched out. The next morning (this morning), I received an email that provided a link to upload all of those documents. I suspected that it could be a phishing activity and decided to go to the actual bank office in Midtown Manhattan to talk to a real bank representative (not a person on the phone).

    I showed up at the office, waited for 10 minutes and got my appointment going. The bank officer was extremely nice and helpful (the only positive thing about CapitalOne) and she told me she would call and verify my identity to them. I had my ID with me, my CapitalOne card and my Social Security card (the original one). 20 minutes later after talking over the phone with a few people the bank officer told me I should verify my identity to them. I pick up the phone and the guy tells me "I am very sorry, but we cannot confirm your identity, so you would still need to upload your SSN card, your ID, your bank statement, your phone and/or utilities bill to our website."

    I was sitting RIGHT THERE in front of the bank officer in CapitalOne office on Park Avenue with all of my cards, my license and my SSN IN PERSON and that was NOT ENOUGH for them! They wanted to see ALL of my transactions from the last month that I have done on my debit card (Chase), my cell phone bill with the information who I had been sending messages, how much data I had used, and my utilities or rent bill showing how much I am paying for my apartment, where I live etc. This is MY PERSONAL information!

    Why the hell do you need to know how much I had spent on groceries and everything else in July? Why do you want to know who and when I am texting to? How the hell does it prove that I am who I am better than my very presence in their office?! Why do you have those physical branches in the first place? Since when CapitalOne needs to know all of that information about me (that might be hacked one day)? And all for what to be able to use their credit card? I have had another CapitalOne card for almost a year and I have made all of my payments on time, have no liabilities and have always been a loyal customer (that is why I applied for VentureOne card, not Chase Sapphire) and that is what I get? This looks awfully like a scam. You know, even scammers do not ask for all of that information at once (that's what made me suspicious in the first place).

    I spent two hours of my morning at the CapitalOne office (instead of being at work) for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. What else do you guys need to know about me? Maybe next time I will need to provide my medical information and my OkCupid profile info to prove my identity because clearly just my presence is not enough for you! To sum up: DO NOT DEAL WITH CAPITALONE! Get yourself a Chase card instead, or any other bank that at least pretend not to be intruding into your private life. And CapitalOne should stop advertising their credit cards online and the seemingly easy way to get them seamlessly only to make you suffer a few days after you are their loyal customer!

    Worst bank ever. I have a credit, kept my payments up to date. Went into a Debt management plan in order to reduce my debts and they put default against all of my payments, even though none of the other creditors did. Capital One agreed the Debt management plan conditions but still defaulted my account. I now have it on my file for 6 years - bastards.

    We are closing on a mortgage. Out of nowhere Capital One posts a late payment on my account. I call them and am told it's a mistake and will be corrected. I explain I need a letter and am told I have to wait 60 - 90 days to have the credit bureau posted. I call again, and again. After spending 45 minutes on the phone am told AGAIN the payment was made within the grace period. This rep tells me he will fax me a letter.

    The next day I get the letter and all it shows is general information on my credit limit, what the balance is and that my last payment was made and the amount. Back on the phone and 3 more 45 minute calls and all rep and a manager tell me the payment was not late and I will get a fax. I received the fax this morning that states the payment was made late. AMAZING! I called this morning and this manager now tells me the payment was late and there isn't anything they can do. I have been a customer since 2004 and will not be one any longer. I can't believe that we have no federal guidelines that keep these companies truthful and a way to correct something that is wrong.

    Decided to try out this awesome rewards card that everyone and Jennifer Garner keep speaking off. It says you need excellent credit and the credit APR is between 12.99-22.99 but won't tell you which one until you sign up. My FICO score is well above 750. I went online and filled out the application and immediately received an approval for $20K credit line with a 22.99% interest rate, wait WHAT? Within two hours I was on the phone calling to see why. First time hung up after being on hold for 10 min.

    Next time was on hold for 6 min until someone answered. I gave him everything but my DNA and he put me on hold to check on the details. 6 min later another lady answers and we START ALL OVER. They say there is NOTHING they can do regarding the interest rate. I met their terms, but still get the high APR? So I told her to cancel the card. She then reads me a list of things (that don't apply because I have been a customer for all of 4 hours) then says they are reporting the account opening and closing to the credit bureau's, WHAT? What a joke. Their requirements are Excellent credit which I have but gave me the highest APR. What a scam.

    OMG, by far the worst company I have ever dealt with customer service wise. I used my card the morning of 8/15 to get gas and then went to purchase a car. Should have been the happiest day of my life until I tried to use my Capital One and it declined. I contacted their customer service and was told that it was fraud on the account! How is this possible when only me and my husband use the card, each of us has our own card, and we had just used it that morning. The customer service rep I spoke with told me that they needed a bank statement showing my husband's name on it since I had just made a $250 payment using his account. I asked him what documents to send in and he just kept saying proof. So what do I do, I upload a copy of our bank statement with my husband's name on it and marriage certificate to show we are married.

    Fast forward to Monday morning and I call to make sure all documents have been received and it's what Capital One wants/needs. One, I get another overseas rep who has no idea what documents are actually needed so I decided to speak with a manager, and yes by this time I am extremely irate. The manager I spoke with proceeds to tell me that the documents I sent in were not what they needed and when I asked what was needed she said she did not know. So by now I am very upset and angry since funds are being held and I can't use my card and I ask to speak to another manager in the US who can actually assist me in getting this together.

    Finally I speak with Laura in the Fraud Department and she actually was a huge help! She told me exactly what I needed to send in, sent me a link, and proceeded to wait on the line while I uploaded the document needed to take the fraud off of my account. I was very happy and satisfied with Laura; she was patient, kind, explained the mishap, took ownership of the situation, and only and I do mean ONLY because of Laura will I remain with Capital One!

    Another Bank with low sub-standards in customer service, advertising to be an asset to college students' credit. In reality, the complete and total opposite. Thanks to Bank of America formally known as Bank of Italy, my account with Capital One incurred a late charge fee(s). I immediately called the bank and requested that the fees be removed due. Again, despite my strong payment history, this bank refused to work with me over $35 dollar fee, which caused my minimum to go up.

    In addition I was transferred over to representative to representative, all that hardly spoke any English or with thick Arabic accents which made communication a hassle. Managers were also useless and proved once again, Capital One is a merry go round. Again, I had never missed a payment with this company since I had my Capital One student card with them. Regardless of my initiative and proven history of payment, this bank refused to make any adjustments whatsoever.

    To make matters even worst, due to the bank's reluctance to work with me, I also found out that this particular bank aggressively reports to credit bureaus, adding further damage to my credit score. I also incurred the bells and whistles of the daily night and day robo-spam calls. I had no choose but to take business elsewhere, but Capital One apparently believes they own their customers. The account closing process was borderline foul and this bank, besides BOA is one out of the two I have experienced using borderline or possible, unethical tactics to keep the customer in a bind. Each representative tried their hardest to keep the account open so that it could incur more interest fees, causing a further increase in my minimum.

    Most representatives that were handling my information were with thick Arabic accents on speed dial. Some ignored my request to close the account, others told me incorrect information, and there were even ones who tried to trip me up into agreeing of paying the minimum, which I had already explained was causing the issue in the first place. Due to the aggressiveness and sub-standards from Capital One, I highly caution both students AND parents in dealing with this predatory, anti-customer service, late and interest fee gorging greed bank.

    I am stunned and surprised that these practices are allowed, considering that this bank has specifically advertised to be for customers and particularly, this JOURNEY card for students, yet their refusal to remove a simple late fee and the bank's sub-standard business practices has proven yet again, the opposite. To make matters worst, one of their representatives was not only unhelpful and rude while in the processing of closing my account, but also believed in taking the liberty of antagonizing the customer while in the process of handling this sensitive and life-impacting information. To add insult to injury, the representative also placed negative and inaccurate notes on my account. Capital One offered NO relief and furthermore, have representatives that are out-right SHADY!!!

    Due what I have experienced with the predatory practices of Capital One, I urge both students and parents to be extra cautious in handling this company if you still have a card with them and in fact, urge you to transfer asap. Capital One has proven that the bottom line is high interest rates, questionable business practices, and jacked up fees, NOT customers. I have suffered unneeded losses and hits to my FICO score thanks to this bank over what should have been, a simple matter. I would recommend this bank to anyone. Again, be very cautious in giving PI information to this predatory and shady bank!!! There are other local banks out there like credit unions that do such a better job.

    I applied for the Capital One Secured Mastercard because I wanted to add another credit card to my profile. I only have one other credit card. I was initially approved in an online application for a $75 Capital One Secured Card. I sent them the $75 deposit fee the same day that I was approved. I didn't hear from them after receiving the offer, so I called them three days later to find out the status of my card. This is when they told me that they declined my application. They said that they initially approved me for a credit card online but rescinded the offer because they said that the day in my birth date was incorrect in my credit report.

    My birthdate was off by one day. I was upset because I knew that this would have a negative impact on my credit store. I also think that it's backwards to approve someone and then decline an individual and not follow up with the person making the application. They approved me after looking at one credit bureau and not the other one, which apparently have conflicting birth dates. I haven't had any credit problems since 2012 and I pay my bills responsibly. I even received a credit increase with my other credit company, with my other credit card company, a week before applying to capital one, so I know my credit is not that bad. I spoke to four different individuals at Capital One, including a supervisor who said that they denied me credit, only because the birth date was off by a day.

    I asked them if they could put a hold on my application so that I could contact Equifax. Mind you, I've been using Equifax for months and not a single person alerted me to this error in my credit file. Capital One said that I could reply in 30 days and that correcting the information in my credit bureau would take 90 days. I am very upset with their customer service. I was declined credit because of an error made by an agency. I've called Equifax many times to buy products or to check my credit score and no one said anything to me. I could understand if I was denied credit because of past credit problems but to deny me credit because my birthday is incorrect and not investigate or to follow up with me to inform me of the issue is POOR customer service.

The letter stated I had three options to pay the remaining balance after the insurance payment. I had my car payment paid up until September. This is August.

    Then I get a call from a Kendrick telling Me I have to pay the whole balance. I then explain the letter so he ups my payments 31 more dollars and tells me if I have not paid in 120 days they would report me to the credit bureau. REALLY! I have never been late.

    I decided to switch from Amex Biz card to the new Capital One Spark. Mistake! My first false fraud alert was when I tried to activate the card. They could give no reason, but spent an hour or so sorting through that to get it activated. One week later - another false fraud alert, which came on a vendor that I previously used with no problem only 4 days before. It seems their fraud system is set overactive, or profiles certain people randomly to shoot out a fraud alert.

    I've spent 4 hours in time with Capital One on Fraud Alerts with the exception of one GREAT rep in Florida. The rest of the customer service is not stateside and horrific. I cannot recommend this card, or any card from Capital One. If it was Amex, and this had happened, they'd credit my account $50.00 for my time. There's a HUGE difference between the great customer service with Amex Business vs. Capital One Spark Business.

    I was trying to make a payment on the phone. I asked the agent if I could mail a check for the payment with only two days left on the payment date. He said to mail the check and he would note on the account that fact so I would not be charged any interest. I told him that I could deposit the check in my bank account and make an electronic payment to guarantee that I would not be charged any interest. He confirmed that it is OK to mail the check and no interest will be assessed. Sure enough, interest was applied and calling customer service did this customer no service, they did not honor their word so, I closed the account and vowed that Capital One shall not do that to anyone else.

    After applying for Capital One credit cards, they sent me an opt out for information sharing. But when I called they reserve 30 days in which to process my request to keep my information private, including social security# & other sensitive info, giving them time to share ("we don't sell your info") with all of their pals, whom they won't disclose in their entirety so you don't know who gets your info. All they mention is credit bureau but it goes to affiliates and non-affiliates. No e-mail address is available to get this resolved and the "back office" doesn't accept calls. They want to record your call but don't "condone" you recording them. When questioned about ethics the response from a senior manager was, "Well, all the credit card companies do this." Be warned before applying to this operation. You might as well post your personal info online for all to see.

I called on Monday and was told that they would not tell me why it was denied, but I needed to reapply. I reapplied and got a silver card with a 3K limit. After getting it in the mail they called and said it would not go through due to fraudulent reasons and would not clarify.

    My husband applied for, and was approved, for a Capital One credit card. When the card arrived we found the envelope ripped open and the card moved. He called and reported it as stolen immediately to the company, police and postal service. He was assured he would get another card in 4-6 days. After 10 days of nothing he called again to find out the card had been activated and maxed out. They told him the charges would be reversed within 72 hours and a new card would come via FedEx.

    Once receiving the third card he found that the charges showed as reversed but would not actually be credited pending their investigation. The same day a letter comes in the mail addressed to our previous address, where nothing should have gone. He calls again to be told that not only did they send that letter there but also to a post office box that he has never had. They are refusing to fix this. Now someone has charged hundreds of dollars worth of Etsy purchases to us and they have not made this right. So someone has received his credit card info that we don't know.

    I have two business accounts and one personal checking account with them as well as a credit card or two, all as a result of my former bank leaving the immediate area, or I wouldn't have changed banks.

The branch is sympathetic but doesn't appear to be either willing or able to help. Even their online banking is driving me crazy since right now I cannot view statements on either Chrome or Safari and had to download Firefox since I use a Mac and cannot even access IE.

When I was in college I added two of my friends as additional users. And I provide all info needed. After 4 years with a excellent record using my card for regular purchases they request me to send them a copy from the social s and driver's licence from the additional users. But since it was about 3 years since I add them and I finish college I told them that it's impossible for me to get from them their private info.

    So they should pls take down the additionals from my card since their cards has expired already and I have all cards but they said that the system say that in order to keep that account, I have to provide that info, but I told them, that you can't ask from a customer to bring documents what I can't get. So pls just take them down from my account, but they refused it. So I told them that I am not interesting in such a company what can from one day to the other decide non sense requests what I can't provide.

    I made a balance transfer from Capital One to Commerce Bank on 07/07/2015. Commerce Bank sent Capital One a check in the amount of $607.74. The check is dated for 06/30/2015, and Capital One endorsed/deposited on 07/07/2015. However, they only applied $507.74 to my account. They continue to charge me payments and interest, but did agree to start a "payment investigation." This is essentially a 60-90 process as near as I could tell from talking to customer service. I have sent Capital One images of the check, copies of my bill stating that I made a payment $507.74, and a letter confirming the success of the balance transfer from Commerce Bank. Capital One refuses to correct the error. Every person I talk to explains why they and/or their department do not have access to the "necessary information."

    At any rate, I have asked several times, what exactly they are investigating given that they have a copy of the check that they deposited and the other documents already mentioned. They have never made any attempt to explain the nature of their "investigation." And when I ask them about their plans to resolve the issue they state that they will "probably" refund the $100.00 in the form of a check. When I explain that I am paying interest and payments on the account, and that I do not this solution satisfactory because the account was paid off on 07/07/2015 they "apologize for any inconvenience." In essence Capital One believes that they can send me a $100.00 check and that will fix the problem. Depending on the representative some have suggested that I created the issue by making a payment on 07/04/2015.

    The bottom line is that I paid my account off in full, and they are going to charge me interest and payments until their "investigation" is completed. I have been hung up on, transferred to offices in the wrong country, and told that I must continue to make my payments while the investigation is happening. I ask them what they are investigating and they state: "if the error is on our end we will correct it." When I explain that they have a check image showing that they endorsed the check on 07/07/2015 they again "apologize for any inconvenience."

    Although they have received the images of the checks through e-mail, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the mail, they continue to insist on completing their "investigation" before taking any action. The bottom line is that they are just dragging this out- there is nothing to dispute. And when I ask how their accounting department does not catch a $100.00 discrepancy between payments processed and payments allocated they state that they "cannot access that information."

    They knew I had issues with thieves that stole my Discover card number but they did not have all my info as Capital One said, but Capital One knew they did not have it all the other time. But last week after calling me from the fraud dept and then sending a letter from the fraud dept, also at the same time on that same letter from the fraud dept sent out a charge card to the thieves in some other state knowing that the application did not match up because I talked to the manager. And if it did, they would not be calling from the fraud and sending letters from fraud and on same letter have the last 4 numbers of the new card. Are they making money off the people???

    I had a grievance with Dish Network erroneously charging my Capital One credit card for monthly subscription dues (This was December 2014). I did not trust Dish Network to remove my credit card information from their files for payment options, so I called Capital One and had them cancel the credit card that Dish Network had on file. Fast forward to current day. I was alerted that a charge to my Capital One credit card had been made. When I researched further, I noticed that Dish Network had charged me on May 22 and June 22 for monthly subscription fees.

    When I called Capital One to ask how these charges were allowed to pass through my account, seeing as I had cancelled the credit card on file with Dish Network, I was informed that Dish Network and Capital One have an "agreement" that if Dish Network decides to pursue payment through a Capital One credit card that has been cancelled, reported lost or stolen, that Capital One will allow that charge to go through even if it wasn't the card number originally authorized for payment.

    I am sure that both companies have it documented in their fine print that somewhere I actually acknowledged that I agree to this dirty business. So, consumers BEWARE. Make sure you take the 8 hours to carefully read the fine print to what you are agreeing. There is NOTHING secure or safe when you do business with Capital One credit cards.

    I called Capital One for my wife in reference to a Scam company (Equinox), who is trying to pull one hell of a SCAM on people. They lure you in with one product and all you pay is $4.95 S/H. Then 14 days later, AFTER they have your Credit Card info, they very sneakily charge anywhere from $100-$585 on your CC using another fictitious Company name. When I contacted Capital One, the ONLY thing I requested was for them to put a block on that company from ever being able to make any future charges on my wife's card. This lady at CO must not her job very well because she told me she CAN'T put a block on that Company because "They didn't meet the requirements to be blocked."

    After reminding her constantly that that Company has thousands of negative complaints against them she continued to tell me they couldn't block them. I told her that Capital One put a block on the WWE Network for MY card so why can't they put a block on a scam Company? Again she told me that Equinox doesn't meet the requirements. I told that woman that SHE will be the REASON that Capital One will be facing a Credit Card Fraud Lawsuit since obviously she is too stupid to understand that if my wife's CC is charged for anything by that SCAM Company then Capital One will be the one held responsible for Failure to Comply with a Customer's Request.

    I have used all kinds of credit cards and Capital One is the worst. Since Capital One Mastercard doesn't accept automatically payment, I have to remember to check the balance online because I don't get mailed statements all the time due to my moving. With travelling, I missed one payment and I was charged for $45 interest. I called the customer service and the guy's attitude was so bad. Even though I admit it was my bad of missing the payment and I asked the favor for adjusting the interest even partially, the guy kept blaming me that it was my fault so he could not do anything.

    I decided to close the account but he didn't tell me that I have $70 cash back accumulated. So I end up losing it. He was on my account while I was calling and he could have told me that I had $70 cash back and I would not get it if I closed. I called again 2 weeks later after I found out I deserve $70 cash back. Of course, I got cold voice again that it is YOU closed the account and you would get anything.

    I totally understand it is Capital One's decision what to do with interest and cash back. But do they want to keep customers with good customer service instead of pissing them off.

I then called Capital One, deciding to pay off the balance of $47.36, but the girl debited the entire amount, again, which meant I was overcharged by $50. This money was immediately debited from my checking account, but I was told that it would take "three business days" to get my money back. This is really unacceptable! I did not make the mistake; the girl at Capital One did. This is a real issue of incompetence, as far as I am concerned. Now, here I am at their mercy.

With this poor verification process I suspect it also may have been a factor in my account being compromised. It turns out that all of my miles had been converted to gift cards and were in queue to be mailed out to someone else.

    I joined ING Direct and opened a Checking Account and a Savings Account. Then, ING Direct got bought by Capital One and the problems began in 2012. I lost access to my account and was told that I cannot access it unless I speak with them on the phone. I am disabled and unable to speak on the phone. I have e-mailed them numerous times from 2012 until last month and gave all of my information but they said e-mail wasn't secure enough. I have called via Text Relay in 2013 but that wasn't "secure" enough for them since it was through a third party.

    I have sent (via fax and postal mail) numerous letters, copies of my Social Security card, my Driver's license, doctor's notes explaining that I am disabled and unable to speak on the phone, a copy of the general Power Of Attorney that allows my spouse to speak on my behalf, and their requested "special" Power of Attorney "specific to Capital One" that allows my spouse to speak on my behalf. I have sat with my spouse while he was on the phone with Capital One. I have sat with my social worker while she was on the phone with Capital One.

    My spouse is a joint account holder and he is able to log on to his account, but they will not let him withdraw the funds (or even transfer the funds back to our linked bank that we deposited the funds with in the first place) because I am the primary account holder and I can't speak on the phone. The last I heard from them was May 22, when customer service representative e-mailed me with the comment "We received your message and want to help. Please know for security and in order for us to further assist you in accessing your Capital One 360 accounts; we need to speak with you. When you're able to, please give us a call at 1-888-464-0727 and an Associate will help you out. We're available from 8 AM to 8 PM, 7 days a week."

    I have received a statement I owe 9,500 dollars. I have never opened an account and reported to Capital One immediately. I think the company is one big scam. This company should be blocked from doing business period. I have been victim of fraud and they asked me if an employee could have possibly set up a card in my name. Very suspicious. Doesn't matter because it's fraud either way.

    Received a call from the fraud department at Capital One in May 2015. Responded to the call on my voicemail and was told about suspected fraud. I was asked to fax or mail in my driver's license, social security card and most recent utility bill. Everything was faxed to them on the same day. I called them back a few days later, and was told that they never received them. Confirmed the fax number was right, and faxed it to them again six more times during the month of May. Was again told that it was never received. Documents were mailed on May 23rd 2015 and faxed two more times. Recently called again on June 4, 2015, and was told nothing has been received. I am at a loss on what to do now. I was not given a reason why they suspect fraud, either from me or someone trying to obtain a card in my name.

    In a matter of a week there were false charges on my card adding up to over 1000!!! ** was absolutely amazing and helpful and got those charges taken off and a new card number within two days. It was really amazing. Also another woman had helped me recently on Capital One and I wish I remembered her name but she was super amazing too. I will never leave Capital One. They really truly do an incredible job in customer service. The cherry on top which was super above and beyond? ** sent me a Macy's gift card with a handwritten note congratulating me on my recent marriage and on our baby twins on the way.

    I'm 21. No credit history besides paying my phone bill every month. In March 2015 I got an offer in the mail from Capital One for their Platinum credit card. After talking it over with my dad and getting the OK from him I went online and completed the application via the invitation number sent with my offer. A week later I received the card in the mail. Ecstatic about being able to buy groceries between paychecks I went to the store and bought a week's worth of groceries. Paid it off when I got paid at the end of the week. In my second week of having the card I went to Best Buy looking to invest in a pair of wireless earbuds, preferably the PowerBeats2 by Dr. Dre since a friend of mine let me use hers and I liked how hers worked. I was not satisfied with the ear buds and returned them THE NEXT DAY. The woman at BB customer service told me the return was successful and I would get the money back on the card.

    That same evening I purchased a much cheaper pair of ear buds from Amazon that I absolutely love. That was all within the first 2 weeks of having the card. I look at my Cap. One account via their app and see that there is a hold on my account and to call the customer service number. I call it and they tell me there is "fraudulent activity" on my account and they have to put a "fraud hold" on it. They then tell me that to verify my identity that I need to send them my social security number, my driver's license, and a bank statement for proof of residence. So I do. They call me back and tell me they can't find my account number on my bank statement even after I repeatedly told the lady where it is on the paper. And I'm even telling her what the number is and all she can tell me is that I have to send the statement again.

    So about a week later I send it again this time with the account number circled. They call back some days later and tell me they have to call my bank and verify my bank account. Banks don't verify third party phone calls so they can't get that info from my bank. So once again they can't verify my bank statement. All on the side of this no one has told me that I can still make payments on my frozen account so they're charging me interest and late fees on top of what I already owe. With the knowledge that I can still make payments I give it a try, paying the minimum amount to see if it would go through. The balance reduces and it looks like it's working until I get an email saying my payment was returned by my bank because my bank account is invalid.

    At this point I don't even know what's going on anymore. I can't make payments because they can't verify my bank account but they're STILL charging me fees. My credit score has gone from 669 to 600 and 2 months later and none of the customer service reps can actually offer any good help. All of this because I made a return. This company is awful. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. They've done nothing but give me headaches and I will be jumping with joy when I finally rid them from my life!

    This started about 4 months ago. We get a phone call that we owe 7.63 on our card. I explained that we have not had a Capital One card since 2008. Also at that time we cancelled the card & it had a 0 balance. So how can we owe any money? No matter how many times I explain my problem to them they do nothing about it. My credit rating is 833. So I got fed up & lost my cool the other day when they told me we are on a recorded line and I stated, "Record this. ** you." This is the worst credit card company in the world.

    Statement sent in the mail had a graph on it that showed I had 150 late days until my account would be closed. I paid account in full way before that. 122 days. Online account showed my full credit limit was available for use after payment was made. My card didn't work so I contacted them and they say my account was frozen so I only had 120 days to pay so they closed account. Remind you it was 122 days and 6 days before Christmas. Meanwhile during the time I was late I got no letter stating I had a frozen account no notice on my online account of this either. If anything ONLINE ACCOUNT SHOWED FULL CREDIT LIMIT WAS AVAILABLE WHEN PAYMENT WAS MADE!!! So here's my problem. On my credit report they put it as a negative account and status states "account paid in full/closed at consumers request". I dispute this based off of the inaccuracies and lies and nothing gets done and I get screwed.

    Capital One Auto Finance - they cancel email contact so you cannot contact them to make payments or inform them of your situation. They demand your phone number but do not contact you for follow up when they need something from you. Capital One Auto Finance did not provide for me accurate details on numerous occasions for how I can keep my vehicle and so it was not repossessed. When you call the number to make payment arrangements their phones do not work - it says unavailable, call back.

    I called at least 20 times. I was faithful in calling over and over to contact Capital One to let them know when I would make a payment. 2 days prior to my repossession, I told them I would be getting paid. They repossessed my car. I called in a panic to make arrangements but was not told the honest truth. I was told I had to have 3,200 dollars rather than 1,300. I was not told this until my car was ready for auction. When I went to get my personal belongings, my car had been broken into.

    Capital One did not give a key and I did not provide one. The man at the lot told me that they had broken into my vehicle. The man also told me at the repossession lot that Capitol One will do anything to get more money from you. When I was at the lot, I watched the man go and pick my car up with a fork lift. I will provide the photos. I could hear my car snapping and bouncing as he drove very fast, damaging the suspension of my car. There were many vehicles on the lot and the consumers have no idea when they come to get their vehicle the damages occurring from being lifted with a fork lift. The men at the lot had pants showing their buttocks cracks. This is the quality of people Capital One allows to repossess, to break into, cause damages and use a fork lift to lift.

    Consumers need to know about this large company Capital One Auto Finance and what they are doing behind the scenes. The office of the president has contacted me, but as of one week, all they are doing is spinning their wheels and telling me I can pay the same amount to get my vehicle back - neglecting to remember my car now has damages from being lifted with a forklift and Lord knows what happened when they picked it up. Please make consumers aware that are using Capital One Auto Finance. Something needs to be done.

    Sad that every Monday holidays I get paid my direct deposit is not available or posted because it's a holiday too to Capital One 360. I thought the convenience of having a direct deposit would mean that no matter what, my funds from my employers will be available at least the day before not after! I have called around and found out that Chase and all other Credit Union have their direct deposit funds available the day before. So if Monday is pay day and it's a Holiday the direct deposit is posted on a Friday which it's so much nice and should be the way it is! I wish Capital One would do the same!

The current representative stated that he would assist in filing a complaint against this representative but I can't be sure if that happened or not. I was assured this time I should be receiving something in the mail to confirm. I requested email as well but they stated they could not provide that. Terrible, terrible service.

    In the mail yesterday I received a notice from a lawyer that my wages were going to be garnished because I owe Capital One $1000. I contacted the attorney and was told that I signed up for the credit card in 2005 and never made any payments on it. I was also told in 2009 I was given a subpoena to show up in court to dispute these charges. They said that I was served and I signed for the subpoena. Thing is, I have not had a credit card since 2002. When I got divorced I paid off all my credit cards and got rid of them. Nobody can show me a paper with my signature on it that I applied for a Capital One credit card and the address they supposedly serve me at I had not lived at for 4 years before they said they served me.

    I have checked the court records and I cannot see anywhere where there was a hearing involving me at all at that time. The attorney I talked to yesterday said that it would cost me over $2,500 to hire an attorney to fight this site, was much better off just paying $1000. I'm just curious if anybody else has had these problems with Capital One in the past and what they did to resolve them.

    About five days ago my Credit Card was blocked due to what they said was Fraudulent activity on my account. I called and they said, "OK. It's been lifted. You can use the account." I used the account and was denied. I called again. I was told that they cleared everything but that I would have to wait 24 hours to use the card. I did this and called them before I used the card the next day and was told I could use the card, it was clear. I again was declined. I was then told that I could not speak to anyone in the fraud Department that another person who was out until Monday would handle my case.

    I then went to the Capital One Bank and they also called Fraud and was told the same thing. I have to wait until Monday to call about my card. I asked what was going on and the man there said he has never see this happen before. He apologized and told me he wished he could help me but apparently this "ONE" person was handling the case with a TEAM of people. I was not only made to feel that I was a crook or that I did fraudulent things on my account which I haven't... I use my card and I pay off the balance... I then was lead to believe that I could go and use the card and was stopped on a Friday Night from being able to use it.

    The Capital One Venture card boasts the possibility of earning 40,000 bonus miles if you spend $3000 within the first 3 months after approval. I quickly signed up, thinking I could easily spend $1000 a month in order to get the 40,000 miles. They approved me, and told me I would be receiving the card within 7-10 business days. It has been more than 2 weeks, and when I called to ask why I haven't received it, the voice on the other end just apologized and answered that he didn't know. He would send it immediately and that I should be receiving it within 7-10 business days!

    My 3 month window to spend $3,000 is more likely going to be reduced to 2 months. That is, if I receive the card within the 10 days that they have once again promised to send immediately. I consider it poor business practice to say to people that they have 3 months to spend money, when in fact it is not 3 months.

    So. About a month ago I moved out of my apartment. I'm staying with family and I'm looking for a new job so took out a mailbox in my old neighborhood until I find a new place. It isn't very close to where I'm staying or my job, but I go to that area and plan to move back that way when I'm ready. I changed the address in my various accounts right after I had moved. About three weeks ago, I tried to get a cash advance from my credit card but it wasn't accepting my pin. I've had that pin for ages so I found that curious but didn't think much of it.

    A few days later and the day before my last payday I got an email from Capital One 360 saying they detected fraudulent activity, will be sending me a new debit card, and will deactivate my current card. OK, fine. So in order to be able to spend my own money after I get paid, I submitted a payment to my credit card (also Capital One) via online Bill Pay. During this process, I checked that I have changed my address on both my checking account and my credit card account.

    I did this early in the morning and then went to work. I checked my accounts and couldn't really find any evidence that I had submitted any sort of payment. I went into my Credit Card account and found no evidence there either. So while I was in my credit card account I initiated a payment there. It showed up as a pending payment. I got an email confirmation stating that I had initiated an external transfer. Later that night, the money was out of my checking account and the next morning it was posted to my credit card. Easy!

    That same morning before leaving for my day plans I made sure to set/change my pin number so I could take out cash if I needed. I then used the card to pay for a coffee, a package of candy at the drugstore, a comic book, a facial, and then dinner. Of course lunch ended up being at a cash-only place so I went to the ATM and my PIN was rejected again. I tried again three times. No dice. I humbly asked my friend to cover lunch deciding to deal with this later.

    That evening I went to Target to buy a few houseware on my way home and was stopped at checkout saying my card was declined. I knew I hadn't yet reached my limit so I pulled out my phone to check my balance. I had gotten a text from Capital One saying they detected fraudulent activity and told me to confirm that it was me who was trying to make a purchase at Target. I responded via text that it was indeed me. The automated system lifted the hold and I was able to make my purchase.

    Monday comes around and I see that the first payment I tried to make was debited from my checking account after all. So two identical payments were now made in the amount of $200.77. I went into my credit card account and saw that it hadn't posted, and saw that that first payment wasn't going to post for 2 more days. I thought I would call to see if I could stop that payment so I called from my work phone. I chose not to call from my cellphone (which is the number I have on my accounts) because I have an iPhone (which isn't great for phone calls) and I work in a large old converted warehouse building, and my desk is near the middle of the floor, so I don't get very good cell signal from my desk.

    I didn't think this was going to be a problem until they asked if they could call me on my cellphone to continue the conversation for security reasons. I asked if they could call to confirm it's me and then proceed on the landline and he said no. He asked me to go to a place where there is better signal but that would mean going near my coworker's desks and I don't like airing my business in front of everyone. He asked me to go outside and I explained that I'm on the 7th floor so it would take awhile.

    Additionally I work under a bridge overpass with a regularly running subway route which makes a lot of noise, plus there is construction all around me for blocks, with jackhammers and bulldozers, which also makes a ton of noise, and that I have a hard time hearing with my cellphone as it is, plus my phone is kind of old and cuts out a lot. I pleaded with him to just let us conduct the call on the landline and he kept saying, "We take security extremely seriously here. And I also see that there had been fraud detected on your credit card and I have to verify your purchases. I can't do this until I call you on the phone number you have on your account." Whatever. I ask him to give me 20 minutes to get outside. In the meantime sure enough my account was SUDDENLY put on hold again for fraud. It was not in this state when I started the call it happened in the 5 or so minutes that I was on the phone with this guy.

    OK fine. I go outside with my crappy old phone, wait for that call, have to yell over the noise of construction, and have to stop the guy from talking for about 2 out of every 5 minutes while the subway passes overhead. He gives me a long spiel about fraudulent activity and then lists every one of the places I had gone two days earlier. "Yep, that's where I bought Red Vines. Blind Barber has delicious Iced Coffee, that was me. Does it say Desert Island Comic Books? Yeah, I bought a book, is that okay? Am I allowed to do that? Then I went to Spa Sundara to get a facial, exactly. I wanted to treat myself. Then I ate dumplings. They were only okay. Yep, and I bought a pillow and blanket at Target. Yeah, my old pillow was feeling a little flat and the blanket was on sale. Sounds like I had an amazing day, huh? Yeah, that was all me."

    Then they tell me, "oh, but someone tried to take cash out of an ATM but had the wrong PIN. FOUR TIMES!" "YEAH, THAT WAS ME TOO! Except that I had set my PIN that morning and it should have worked." Ooh, well, you can't SET your pin over the phone. You can only RESET your pin." (That makes no sense, guy). "Capital One takes Security very seriously." (Clearly). "Do you want me to set your pin for you now? I can do that over the phone."

    "OKAY Mr. Security. You want me to give my pin number over a cellphone on a sidewalk crowded with strangers where I have to yell over noise because you're too concerned with security to conduct this conversation in the privacy of my own office on a landline? What insane logic does any of this follow? I'll deal with the pin later. What I was calling about is the payment in the amount of $200.77 which appears to have posted twice, and I want to see about canceling one of the payments."

    This story is already too long... but spoiler alert: the fact that I'm talking about 2 identical but separate payments means that all manner of confusion occurred. For days. This phone conversation I described above with the noise and the PIN and the fraud protection happened on May 4th. I was told it was going to take 5-7 business days to clear. I asked how this happened, as I made this payment online and it should have only taken a day or two. They're both Capital One entities, after all. They told me I would have to "Be patient, it'll work itself out."

    That same day, I looked and saw that my debit card (they one they said they were replacing and canceling) was actually never cancelled. What??? So I called Capital One 360 and asked them if we could clear up what the fraudulent activity was that caused them to send a new card and an email that said they were canceling my current card (and creating what will end up being an epic domino effect). THEY WOULDN'T TALK TO ME ABOUT IT. I don't know if they didn't know or what, but no one EVER got to the bottom of that with me.

    This! From a company that already said MULTIPLE TIMES that security was of the utmost importance. So, as long as I had them on the phone, I asked them about that payment that had been debited. He explained that it was a paper payment and would take 5-7 days. I said, "Yes, I know this, but why is it a paper payment?" Their explanation was that, "Online Bill Pay ALWAYS makes paper checks to the billers. It is a third party, so the payments tend to take longer." This doesn't seem right to me, because I'd been using it for awhile and never had problems before. I asked them if I could cancel that payment and he said he couldn't and that it would take 5-7 days to clear. This had already taken up most of my afternoon, and I couldn't deal with it anymore, so I decided to just let this all work out. My debit card was working, I got out cash, I was going to wait and see, like they said.

    Except that someone from credit cards called me to follow up. OK. I asked to reset my pin, and she said it was already set to what I wanted. OK so why didn't it work, which triggered fraud protection? She had no answers. She asked if I was willing to go to an ATM to try it again. I actually wasn't. I told her if we can fix this now, we can fix it. But I've already spent too much time and energy on this and I'm not going out of my way anymore. She understood. Her name is **. She was actually very nice and very helpful. I asked her about the paper payment, she couldn't see anything about it. I finally had found the notes on that transaction, and told her the notes now say it was supposed to arrive by 4/6, and it was past that date. She said sometimes things get delayed, but transferred me to management at capital one 360.

    So the manager she transferred me to started looking into this and then the call was dropped. No one called me back. Frustration. I don't want to call them back. That night, I was poking around on Sephora, filled a cart with about $100 of product, and then checked the card number. I wasn't going to purchase the products right then, I was just filling a cart. I hadn't event hit the purchase button, but this somehow showed up on my checking account balance immediately. I looked at the Sephora app and it said "payment declined". What? I looked and noticed that the billing address hadn't yet been updated (remember, I recently moved).

    I fixed it and it went ahead and charged again. Or attempted and declined again. It was late at night. It is a weird thing I do late at night, looking at stuff but not buying it. But it was weird that this was happening. I looked at the app again the next day, no order had been made and everything was still in the cart. I called Sephora and they said 2 attempts had been made to purchase, but didn't go through. I told her I wasn't trying to buy anything. I was just browsing and filling a cart. She fixed something on her end and said that sometimes when payment methods are updated, the bank holds onto a purchase amount until they know it will clear.

    She offered to stay on the line while I called to straighten this out with the bank in order to push this faster, but I was at work and said I would have to call later. When I did call the bank, I explained everything, and said the vendor had already canceled this on their end. The guy on the phone said it would take 5-7 business days to clear. I asked if it would help if I conferenced in Sephora, and he said, "No, this will take 5-7 days to clear, no exceptions. You just have to be patient." Why do the simplest things take 5-7 business days at Capital One?

    Okay, so another spoiler alert is that this eventually cleared itself out 5 days later. But that's 5 days of $200 of my money just hanging out in the ether because no one at Capital One is able to just fix things. They only tell you 5-7 business days, be patient. Meanwhile that original $200 payment to my credit card was just hanging out with the other $200 accident somewhere in money purgatory. I am not in a position where I can just have $400 out there somewhere where I can't touch it for 5-7 business days. Every time I talked to a customer service agent, or when one calls me to follow up, I ask them if they want the check number or the confirmation number to look into it further, and I'm always told that it isn't necessary, and to be patient.

    What is the point of giving an identifying number to a check that I didn't want written in my name in the first place? So finally yesterday, it had been 7 days so I called the credit card and asked them if they had it. Nope. I asked if they want the check number. "Not necessary. It’s not here. You're going to have to be patient." I called 360, and was told that's just how long it takes. I asked if they wanted the check number and the confirmation number, and she said, "That's not necessary but let me put you on hold." She put me on hold for awhile and came back and told me, "OK, so it looks like you entered the address (and she gave the address of my mailbox) and that's why it generated a check, and that's why it's taking so long."

    FINALLY! Someone had something to say other than for me to shut up and be patient. It finally makes some sense now. We looked at the system while we were on the phone with each other and I realized that when I was setting up that payment, I probably put in my address thinking that I was changing my contact information. So that check actually was not sent to my credit card at all, but was in my PO box, which I rarely check bc I set up everything to be paperless. I tend to work long hours and was busy for the next week and won't be able to go back for awhile.

    I asked if we could cancel this payment to get the money back into my account. They tell me my options are: $25 stop payment fee and have the money back in my account in 3 business days, or go get the check, mail it to their facility in North Carolina and have it back in my account in 4 business days. I ask if they can just cancel it, no fee, funds recouped in 2 business days, we forget this ever happened. "Sorry, we can't do that."

    "So let me get this straight: I accidentally, using your confusing online bill pay system, write a check from one of my own Capital One accounts to another of my own Capital One accounts, and the money is debited from my account the following business day. I try to get to the bottom of this for 7 business days, and not one person will look into this further with the Check number and Confirmation number. Had someone looked at that 7 business days ago, we could have solved this when I had time to go pick up this check and drop it in the mail and wait 4 business days to fix it."

    "But now that I'm busy for the next 7 days, I have to wait until May 27th to have access to funds that was debited accidentally from my account on May 4th. If I want this to happen faster, I have to pay $25. To stop payment from me to me, you are going to charge me $25 to release the funds in 3 business days. Even if I had this magical check in my hands, it would be free to clear it in 4 business days, but $25 to clear it in 3. This is what you're telling me."

    His oh-so-eloquent answer? "Well, what's more important to you, $25 or $200?" What kind of person asks that of someone who is clearly distressed? I was at a complete loss of words and just kind of sat there dumbfounded that an actual adult human would ask that of a customer he is supposed to be trying to help. And after some time passes, I realize that he is just sitting there silent, not saying anything. Just waiting for me to get off the phone.

    This is a manager I was speaking to. I was already 90 minutes into this day's conversation, the majority of which was spent on hold. This is after I had talked to about a dozen people between May 4th and May 12th, and had repeated my story about that many times. This is after I begged everyone to please just look at the check, and every single person refused, and not one person apologized for not looking. This is after so many issues that came up all within the span of a couple of weeks. I have been with Capital One for a few years with very little incident, and every time I'd called in the past, I had been greeted with good, helpful, fast service.

    I wasn't sure exactly how to express my extreme disappointment at their inability to provide solutions, but I was ending the call and asked the guy's name and title. "My name is ** and I'm in 360 Sales." I asked him, "Have I not been talking to Customer Service?" **: "No, there is no Customer Service department. Our Sales force handles all incoming calls." GAAAAAAAAAAH! This explains so much. HEY CAPITAL ONE! SALES IS NOT CUSTOMER SERVICE!

    A real runaround by untrained, incompetent employees. Tried to file a complaint against one by going thru their McClain Escalation department. Got nowhere. Their routing on their checks is the same as ING Direct but they claim no connection. You cannot even find out if a customer has sufficient funds for checks written from the bank. One person spoke over me and when I asked that he listen, he hung up on me. Called back and he said he wanted to teach me about how he does customer service then he went on about how Toyota does business. This guy was pathological and claimed he was in charge. Asked for a supervisor and told to try another day.

    I was sent a renewal card with a completely different account number. I called and asked if I could have my old number instead since I do not want to go through all my accounts and records (including payments) and change them for each one. I was told I cannot do this and that Capital One does not have any easy way to "blanket" change over to new number. Will be canceling my card after I transfer all my recurring payments to another card. (Thanks, Capital One, your unilateral customer-unfriendly policy, has now incentivized me to drop you as a provider, since I will have to do that transfer work anyway with the new number you sent me without consulting me or even notifying me in advance.) Corporations are just getting worse. I think I will apply at a credit union or find some kind of socially conscious card to deal with. These businesses shouldn't even call themselves business.

    I've had a Capital One credit card for more than 9 years. Everything worked well and they provided excellent customer service until I was on vacation in November 2014. They were going to send me a new card because they said my card was compromised in the Home Depot September 2014 data breach. They said I’d receive it soon, but they didn't tell me a specific date. They said they would not turn off my existing Capital One credit card until I activated the new card. I had numerous auto-billings on my credit card and I was going to be going on vacation in November, I told them, and I wanted to be sure the card I had would remain active. Capital One was the only credit card I had at the time.

    While I was out of my home state in November, my card was deactivated. I tried to use the card and it was denied. I had to call the Fraud Unit. I called the Fraud Unit, and was told my card was deactivated because they’d sent me another card. I told them I’d gone online to let them know my dates of vacation and I had not received the new credit card before I left on vacation. They sent me a new card in 2 days to the address of my friend I was staying with on vacation. The card worked for 1 day and then it was deactivated.

    I had to call the Fraud Unit again. They wanted me to prove I was who I told them I was. I answered all their security questions correctly, but they wanted several items of ID for me to prove I was who I am. Being on vacation, I did not have several proof of identity items with me. I was furious. It was very inconvenient not having a credit card for the remainder of my vacation, and it certainly seemed senseless to me. There were no items showing up on my credit card transactions that I did not make, yet they insisted there was a reason they were concerned but they wouldn’t tell me why.

    When I got home, I scanned and sent them copies of my US passport, my US passport card, my SSN, my driving license, my voter registration card and they wanted a utility bill so I sent them one of those also. I heard nothing back from them. My card continued to be restricted. They sent me an online message that I needed to call the Fraud unit again. Wait, why do I have to call them? I sent them everything they wanted and they have all my phone numbers. I applied to several other credit cards in the interim and had received the other credit cards. I am never again going to rely on just one credit card company in my life. One of the new cards is Barclaycard, which has better travel rewards and one of the new chips so it should be also be less likely to be hacked.

    It is now May 2015 and I have never heard anything from Capital One. Since the card was restricted, I could not use the travel eraser to cover the November vacation travel I had done. I finally decided I needed to call their Fraud unit as my card would be in limbo forever if I did not. So I called and they said yes, they received all of the ID information I sent them last fall. Yet they wanted to call one of my utility companies to verify my address. OMG. They had 6 months and they hadn’t done all their checking yet? I was told they would call the utility company that day.

    I called them back the next day and they said my address didn’t match my credit card address. I said they had received my residence address from the credit card company and I use a UPS mailing address (like a PO Box). It’s the mailing address I’ve used on my Capital One credit card the entire time I’ve had the card. It’s the address on my driving license I sent them. I told the Fraud Unit to call the utility company back again and ask for both the residence address and the mailing address. The Fraud Unit idiot did that and the next day when I called the Fraud Unit back yet again, they said both addresses were verified.

    Now Capital One wanted me to scan my utility bill to them. What? They just talked to the utility company and said everything was verified. And now they want me to scan one of the statements to them? OMG yet again. But I did it because I want to get this card activated again so I can use my travel rewards as I have a LOT of rewards and want to get what I can out of this card.

    So several days later, my card is still restricted and I guess I’m going to have to call the Fraud Unit yet again. I’m hoping to be able to use my rewards and to never use this card again for any other reason. My credit score is 830, which is excellent. I have never had any problem with any previous credit card ever and I use the same mailing address for all my mail. I’ve lived at my current residence for 9 years, and have had the same mailing address and the same residence address during that entire time.

    I had an account with ING Direct since 2006. Ever since Capital One took over it has been a cluster of epic proportions. Since the switch, the online banking has never worked in full. Some days, like today, I can't access my accounts to transfer money between them - and it's been like this for days. I have a Sharebuilder account and the "instant transfer" function worked once in all the times I've logged in to try. I had to make several phone calls when I made Sharebuilder transfers the first time because they said I used a regular transfer - rather than an "instant transfer", which is some special unicorn at Capital One (something my little credit union seem to have no problems with).

    A regular transfer through Capital one takes *2-3 business days*, which is insane. With our current technology, it's so painfully obvious that they're just raking in the interest. They bought the ING accounts, they have people stuck, so they don't care. I'm in the process of moving everything and I will be closing the Capital One and Sharebuilder accounts.

I did read a few to see if there was any response to my question, but I got none but big extra charges for being late. One I marked out my address and returned the bill.

    I just want to inform other consumers that this is not the company to choose. Today I found out that I went over my credit limit by approximately $7 on my current bill because of interest charged by Capital One and that they have reported me to the credit bureau. The reason I went over my limit was because the interest rate charged to me was raised. Looking at the small print on my previous bill, it looks like I was in fact informed of this my 3-year promotional rate expired and I was informed one bill prior, in small print. When I missed that information and calculated the interest to be charged on my April bill, I miscalculated and as a result my bill went over the limit by less than $10. But I was reported to the credit bureau anyway. Doing business with Capital One has now harmed my credit rating and my future financial plans. It's done me much more harm than good.

    Here is the situation from the start. I have a Capital One Journey card which I have been using it for the past 5 months. I have a credit limit of $300 and an interest rate which is messed up. So I have decided to speak to the customer care and get my credit limit increased or get a lower interest rate. The customer care representative was very unhelpful saying we cannot do either. He however said that I was enrolled in the "credit steps" program, meaning my credit limit will automatically increased upon 6 months of regular payments, to get this, $350. Hardly unable to contain the excitement, I asked if I could get another credit card which does not have so many overwhelming benefits, he said I could get another card and close this account.

    I took his suggestion and applied for a QuickSilver card, and was approved. The message online said, "Congratulations! You're approved for a new QuickSilver One Credit Card for $750". I thought to myself that my credit limit has more than doubled and I have 1.5% cash back on all my purchases which is pretty neat. On 04/13/2015 I received my card and on the letter accompanying the card, it said that my credit limit was $500. I once again got online and was chatting with another CSR who said that, that limit you were shown will be available to you after 6 months of regular payments (the Credit Steps program again). Unsatisfied I asked him if I could speak to someone who could resolve this for me. He gave me a number which redirected me to an account specialist.

    After 15 minutes on the call and taking countless details, the account specialist said, since you were sent in the letter as $500 and we have the same amount here in the system, your credit limit is $500. I protested that this wasn't fair, and I was told that since you cannot provide proofs that you were shown $750, we cannot help you. Was I supposed to take a screenshot when I was shown the Congratulations message? What do they expect?! So yes, if you have a choice, go for any other Credit Card.

This time the card was locked and nothing could be done because "management" does not work the weekend. This left me without the ability to use the credit card while on vacation. To make matters worse, when I returned home on Monday, I was informed by Capital One that I needed to file a fraud report, which I politely declined because doing so would be fraud committed by me for filing a false report.

    I called Capital One credit card company to let them know that I was about to travel out of the country and wanted to use my credit card. They quickly noted the account and said I was all set. Then they transferred me to someone saying they needed to review my bank accounts as well. The bank representative told me I could "upgrade" my checking account to an interest bearing account for free and without changing my account number. He told me there would be a minimum balance but that the minimum only needed to be met on the statement end date.

    I have had the interest account for about a year and a half now and just began seeing a $15 service fee on my account in February of this year. I called to ask why and was told that the account balance was below the minimum, but since this was the first time, they could waive the fee as a courtesy. I asked how long I had to get the account balance above the minimum to avoid being charged again and was told I had until the end of the month. I have direct deposit and so my account was above the minimum by the middle of the month and has remained above since then.

    This month, I saw the fee again and called to ask why. This time I was told that if at any point in time during the statement period my account drops below the minimum I would be charged. I was outraged. I told the rep this is not what I agreed to and that I wanted to speak with a manager to review the call tapes and verify what I was told. I was not given the opportunity to hear the recording of the call, but the manager said I was told how the account works after she reviewed the tapes. Furthermore, I have been told that I can't change my account back to an account that doesn't charge a fee because that account type doesn't exist anymore. I now have to a branch and open another account, with a new account number, to avoid continued fees.

    I believe my experience demonstrates that Capital One engaged in coercion by convincing me to change account types to one which benefits them more than it could possibly benefit me (I received less than $1.00 in interest in all of 2014). I was not given any disclosure as to the irreversible nature of my decision, or as to what I would be giving up by changing account types. I think it is time to investigate Capital One's sales practices, and those of the banking industry in general. I work in the securities industry and I can tell you that we are required to disclose all material facts about what a client is giving up and what they could potentially be gaining by replacing an investment.

We normally ask our customers." I say thanks, and she said, "Is there anything else you need?" I said no but if would do this with a smile everything would have been much better.

    I just say I have been in the customer service industry for over 9 years. This a horrible customer service. I am not a customer but my husband is. She does not think that I can sooner or later open an account there and worse the manager was next to her listening and he did not say anything. I am so upset. We only ask if you are one of our customers.

    I have not been able to access the online payment for my account for the past 4 weeks. I have called several times and the only thing I hear is apologies. Customer service and the manager told me that they have no idea when the problem will be solved. Meanwhile, I have no access to online payment and have no idea what has been paid. I have most of my bills paid online and I am now completely blind. I receive a letter from a creditor saying that they did not receive payment and that my name would be sent to credit report. I have always been happy with capital one but this is too much. I cannot believe that I am not able to manage my money and that capital one cannot fix it in a timely manner. This is unbelievable.

    The balance on my account was paid in full before the end of the billing cycle. Capital One sent me a bill in another billing cycle for $5.04 in interest. After arguing with them, and them admitting that yes, I am correct there should be no more interest. I will not see a credit on this card for 1-2 billing cycles. Therefore, they expect payment of $5.04 which they will credit back to me in 1-2 billing cycles. Needless to write. This account is now closed!

    I walked into a Chase branch and asked for an up-to-date interim statement and they happily obliged. I needed it to send to a government department. I went to Capital Bank at 176 Broadway, NY, NY 10038 for the same purpose and I'm not sure what your Relationship Banker ** meant by saying "I can't do this - too simple print off of transaction history" since this up-to-date document was requested from the government agency. When I asked her to speak to the manager, I was told that since she could not handle the transaction, there is no one at the branch who could assist me. So, I went to another Capital One Branch and got this up-to-date statement printout within a few minutes.

    I have a completely 100% legitimate question for the bank, and there is absolutely no excuse for them not to provide what the customer is asking for, even if they want to charge a fee. If Ms. **'s title is Relationship Banker, I am wondering what her job description is? She doesn't look professional at all to be Relationship building liaison.

    Fri. 14 Mar. '15, received phone call and email indicating possible fraudulent use of my card. They were correct and that's a good thing (especially for them, since they must pay for unauthorized use). Card cancelled and new one was to be sent second-day priority via USPS. Tue. 18 Mar. '15, no card (but the nearly indecipherable USPS tracking site said "delivered!"). Wed. 19 Mar., I called and informed Capital One about the "delivered" message AND no card. I was assured it would arrive "tomorrow" - or Friday by the latest. Thursday, no card. Fri., no card. Sat., no card... So much for second-day delivery! Fri., no card. Called Capital One and demanded to speak with a supervisor. An hour later, I was told that the new card was lost in the mail and that they had cancelled it too. A NEW card was to be issued and sent (are you ready for this?) SECOND-DAY DELIVERY via USPS!!!

    Meanwhile, my various credit card auto-payments have been refused, my credit score is trending down, I am unable to do business over the internet, and I must carry large amounts of cash around for every day expenses.

    Once, years ago, I lost my Bank of America MasterCard and when I called them, I received a new one the very next day via private carrier. Capital One, when informed of that, replied that they "can't (won't!) do that" - even after one failed delivery and a heated call by a very unhappy customer. Apologies are NOT enough and I'm done with the "what's in YOUR wallet" people (BTW, the answer is NOTHING!). If YOU are looking at Cap.

    I called to explain to Capital One that my husband was in ICU and has been since 2/28. I explained that we each pay our own bills. Not seeing his bill, I waited until I received one in the mail and discovered the March payment wasn't paid and thus he received a $25 fee. I begged them to reverse it and that I would pay the balance plus the interest due. They refused saying that they could not discuss the account with me without a POA. But, they were perfectly happy to take my money for his bill. Ok, I realize they cannot discuss the account. I offered to send proof. To no avail. They refused to lose their $25 which really would have did better to chalk that off to PR for the company. So, I will eat the $25 fee while I struggle now to pay my husband's medical bills.

    This bank is SO SORRY!!! For instance, they can never correct errors to your account right away. On two separate occasions, I contacted them to let them know that we were charged in error and asked if they could correct it. Once was when my mortgage was due. This account is used for bills only and we only deposit what is needed for bills. Well, they wouldn't correct it and told me that when the check comes in for my mortgage, it would bounce! What I can tell you is this, Capital One's customer service cannot compare to that of Chase.

    I am also a customer of Chase Bank; however, they do not have local branches where I live and so I had to reluctantly, open an account with these people. I HATE BANKING with them!! Had this been Chase Bank, they would have no qualms and no hesitations with taking care of the matter right away. Capital One is not for the customer AT ALL! Whether credit card, car loan, and definitely banking, they will not help you! And YES!! I have had the misfortune of dealing with them in all three areas! They love to claim what they can't do and how they can't help a customer. But if someone is calling you and providing you proof that charges made to their account were in error, why does it take you 48-72 hours to correct the problem?

    Seems to me you would be more concerned about your customers. They have no concern for us! NONE!!! I have reduced the amount of my deposit into this account to $50 and we only use it for coffee and buying snacks. The ONLY reason we have not closed it out is because we are waiting for the VA to finish working my husband's claim as they seem to get confused very easily when you submit something to them and like idiots, we used Capital One for our direct deposit thinking things would be alright. Unfortunately, it's not. They make things and life harder than it has to be.

    In December 2014, I inquired with Capital One about balance transfer offers and was informed that I could transfer a balance from another credit card to Capital One for $0 Fee, 0% APR and no expiration date. I completed the transfer in December 2014 and in February 2015 I was charged APR. When I contacted Capital One, they informed me that it was transferred at the 22.9% balance transfer rate because the rate/terms that were quoted to me did not exist.

    After speaking with a Supervisor in February 2015, they informed me that they would submit a request for appeal of the error, to credit the APR's charges and honor the terms the initial agent quoted and inform me. No one informed me of any decision. However, when I checked the March 2015 statement, I saw that they waived the APR's. When I called yesterday to verify the details of the terms, I found out that they reduced the APR to 0% and credited the finance charges. However, they told me that the APR was only good through 4/1/2015 which still does not honor the terms of the original balance transfer and is ridiculous. They told me to speak to another Supervisor but I feel that they are just stalling me.

    I have email threads clearly showing that the Capital One Rep. said it was $0 Fee, 0% APR and no expiration date many times but Capital One refuses to honor it and now wants to stick me with a 22.9% APR. I would like for them to honor the initial terms that was offered or at the very least provide for the 0% APR for 18 months which is a reasonable time period for balance transfers. Thank you!

    I've only had this credit card for about a month and I wanted to pay off the balance I had so I used their mobile app to make the payment. A couple days later the mobile site said the payment was returned so I tried it again a week later thinking maybe it was too soon to make a payment and the same thing happened. I called customer service and the lady said it was my bank’s fault the payment was returned. I called my bank and they said it wasn't their fault because no payments from Capital One were even debited from my account and they were right it didn't even show up in my account. Not wanting to take a chance on someone hacking my bank account I put the balance on my Rushcard and tried again to make a payment and the same thing happened "Payment Returned".

    Two totally different banks same problem. I called customer service again and this time they said in order to remove the restriction I had to let them call Chase (owner of the Rushcard) and verify the account over the phone. I informed the lady that I didn't want to use my accounts anymore and that I've already sent a money order to pay off my balance and she said they could only remove the restriction if I verified my bank account. She said she even asked her supervisor but that is doubtful. Hopefully they will apply the money order and I can be rid of them before I end up owing them hundreds of dollars of debt because they are not accepting my payment methods.

    I am too busy but preparing to sue them, my best guess that they did not make money of me, I had enough balance to waive monthly fees, got free business wire transfers, and the ING checking was free, they wanted to close it and used that nonsense reason, then closed other accts just to cover their real motive and to look consistent, that is my guess, I cannot find any other good reason.

    On February 14, 2015, I received my bill statement and found out that I was charged for late payment and the interest but I've always paid on time when I rec'd my statement. Then I noticed that I did not receive the statement prior to the month. Therefore, I called Capital One on the same day about my bill statement for the late payment and interest fees. The customer service was helpful to waive the fees and I was happy about the service at that time. However, ever since that day, I could not use the credit card, all the transactions were declined!

    In the beginning, I thought it was due to the store machine or the place, so I wasn't thinking about any other issues. Then I tried again and again until today (February 28, 2015), I finally called Capital One to find out the reason why I was not able to make any purchases. Then I was told that it was due to the past due payment of $25. If I do not make the payment for the $25, then it will block me from making any purchases. However, it was my first time of hearing such thing as when I called on February 14, the customer service did NOT tell me upfront about this kind of issue!!!!!

    Also, I have been a customer with Capital One since 1997 and they are not even able to find an immediate resolution. Even the SUPERVISOR is UNABLE to resolve the problem!!! He kept on telling me that he CANNOT do anything and cannot break the Federal LAW!!!! Even though I kept telling him that I already schedule the payment for March 2nd (payment due date is March 5), he still kept saying "NO" and he CANNOT do anything because of the Federal LAW!!! He can reactivate my account only if I can proceed the $25 past due payment. HELLO??? Am I hearing it wrong? For $25, and you kept telling me and threatening me if I do not pay $25, then the account will be locked until they receive the payment to clear up the past due issue!!

    This is VERY RIDICULOUS to hear that it sounds like it's my fault at all??!! First of all, I did not receive the payment. Secondly, I called the customer service on February 14 to waive the late payment and interest fees due to the first condition, so I was not aware of the billing until I receive this month's bill. However, I was not told of the forthcoming restriction upfront! Thirdly, I have been with Capital One for almost 20 years and I was told my account is locked for past due $25 and unable to release until I make the payment due to FEDERAL LAW...

    Is $25 sounding a BIG number to them?? They have not authority to release. Is Capital One a public or private company??? NO RIGHT TO UNLOCK because of their OWN MISTAKE??? This is totally NOT an acceptable customer service to treat a royal customer this way. I will report everywhere until CAPITAL ONE improves this kind of service.

Good and the rep. waived an additional 5.00 off, which was good of her when I didn't even ask. However, why, why, why does one have to go to an external company, either for a consolidation loan to pay off credit cards or use a consumer debt company to help?

Apparently it will take me 32 Years and 4 Months if I only pay the min.

    How about Capital One has a department for loyal customers who want to pay off credit and who have made timely payments instead of us going elsewhere? They have made their money. I am not looking for a balance removal, I take full responsibility for the purchases made, but how about an interest decrease and equal payments for those of us trying to get ahead or at least stay afloat?

    I received my pre-approval letter for the Quicksilver card at the beginning of January. I've been trying to rebuild my credit so I figured a card with a low limit that would be simple to pay off each month was the way to go. I received the card, activated it and everything was just fine. I received a call yesterday from the Fraud Department telling me that they needed to verify something on my recent application and I received a case number. I called back this morning and I was asked a whole litany of ridiculous questions, including what car was registered in my name. I was then told that I needed to send them copies of my Driver's License, SSC and a utility bill. I told them that I would not send anything like that through the mail and "Tom" with the very heavy Middle Eastern accent told me that I could visit any bank and have them do an identity verification.

    When I got off the phone, I started searching around the internet to see how many other people were having the same issue. I was sadly not surprised when I saw there were more than just a handful. I logged on to my account and in the bright, red, angry text I saw "Account Restricted - Please call blah blah blah.” I called the number, and while I'm not usually intolerant of those outside my own race, I do have difficulty with accents over the phone. I was able to speak to someone I could understand and at first, he was very helpful. I even thought I might get things resolved. After I was put on hold for about three minutes (not bad when you think about it), "Kyle" came back and told me that my identity would have to be verified.

    And I started to lose my mind. I then asked, "Why was my identity not verified before I was sent the card?” I was told that they have policies in place to verify before a card is issued and then throughout the life of the card. I told Kyle this made zero sense and that I was very unhappy with the service this company was providing so I would like to close the account. "Not a problem, ma'am. Let me place you on hold while I begin the process." Five minutes later, Kyle comes back on the line to tell me that "Unfortunately, due to the restriction placed on this account, we are unable to close it until we verify identity.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

    I then asked if I were to send in said information, how long would it take to resolve the issue. This man actually said to me, "It takes as long as it takes.” Really? This is an acceptable answer? My account is restricted and as far as I'm concerned, it can stay that way. Their policy in this particular case makes it almost impossible for a customer to be satisfied with their company.

No information as to why was given, nor any number to contact someone. I went to a Capital One bank the following day where a banker checked our account and told me that there wasn't any notes on our account saying it would be closed. He said the letter might have been an error, and he didn't see a reason our account would be closed. A week later on February 19th, 2015, my debit card was declined four times. I called Capital One customer service and was told our account was in the process of being closed, but I could not be given any information as to why.

    I then went to a Capital One branch to withdraw our money from our savings accounts, which were not being affected. The banker there emailed the person closing our checking account to see if they would allow me to withdraw the money from that account as well. They took a while to get back with her, so she called me after I had left and said they would open the account for me to get the rest of our money. I told her I would go the next day since she called me close to closing time. I went back on February 20th, 2015 which was a Friday. Since they had opened my account back up for the withdrawal, my fiance's direct deposit had gone through that day. So I was able to take out what we had before and what he got paid that day.

    I thought that was the end of it. I decided to check our accounts online to make sure they were closed, and I see that our checking account is now $1,100 overdrawn. They decided to reject his direct deposit once they closed the account again, even though I had already withdrawn the money. We have not received a check from his workplace from the deposit being rejected, only his check stub saying it was direct deposited on February 20th. This has put us in a huge bind, and we are now struggling to get a new account and his direct deposit set up with a different bank before our bills are due.

It was showing that they received the check on Feb 5th, 2015, and that my Credit limit was back to $1000.00 for purchases and cash advances. The next day I went to the bank, used my card to get a $40.00 cash advance, check my online account, it was showing a $0.00 credit available. I phone the customer service for Capital one, and was told then that the check that I sent them was on hold for 28 days. That's why my account is showing there is no money available.

I blew it then and told her "Why do I owe you that much?" She said "Well besides the $40.00 cash advance you got, there is a over limit charge on your account." I told her, "How in the hell is there a over limit fee on my account when the balance was paid off? And it is showing on my online account that I am looking at on my computer, that you receive the check for $984.00 to pay out the balance." Then she put me on hold.

    While she is talking to someone (Else) comes back on the phone, then is asking me about a couple of transactions on my account. Here to make a long story short, every transaction that she ask me about, I never done it. Then she ask me if I called in a couple of months ago, asking to get a replacement card. I never called them. Here they sent out another card to someone else claiming to be me. There is close to $400.00 that was charged on that card that they sent out to this so called person.

    As their so called fraud department is looking into this, I am finding out from my online account that I had set up that the email address that I used for it end it only. I done a virus scan of my computer for 4 days in a row. Every time it was showing that someone was hacking into that email address that I was using for my online account with Capital One. One of my friends works in investigations for the RCMP, where I am living. He investigated into this matter. To make a long story short, He found out that it was someone at the Capital One customer service office hacking into people's computers. I called their fraud department about this on Feb 22, 2015. The guy that I was talking to there at Cap One Fraud department said to me, "What in the F am I suppose to do about it? Report it to the police." Cap One service in the last 2 years is went all to hell. I will be taking them to court over this matter.

    I never post bad reviews, NORMALLY. I am all about positive feedback. However, customers of Capital One need to know that Capital One is deceitful. When you get behind on your account they will send you a letter stating you have until a specific date to pay, or it will get closed. Well do not trust that letter. I had some financial hardships and got behind a couple months, after having the card for 5 years, paying it off every month or close to pay off amount every month. Well they sent me a letter stating that if I make a payment by February 11th will be put back in good standard, so they say.

    Well on February 2nd I paid the balance in full, and went to use the card and my purchase was declined. So I called them, per Serra, the account was closed. That it closed on December 20th, however, they still sent me letters saying they are here to help, and that I had options. Which I read to her and it was dated January 28th. Well I paid it off, and nowhere did they say the account was going to be closed.

    I feel that they deceived me to get the balance paid, and still reported to credit bureau. I asked direct questions, "So when will it be reported that the card has been paid in full?" She states, "Well I am not sure how the credit bureau works", well she knew how to post to the credit bureau. So as of now it states that the account is closed and there is a balance due, however, I paid it off. So I will no longer do business with Capital One, and I hope that they stop deceiving people.

    Just like a lot of people here, I too was cheated out of $300 by this bank. I received an offer for a pre-approved secured card in the mail and I took the offer up. I called the 1-800 number, gave all of the information about myself they asked, transferred $300 from my Chase bank account and waited for the card. When it arrived, upon calling to activate it, I too was transferred to the fraud department and told my account wouldn't be activated until I supplied them with my SS#, Driver's license and a utility bill because they had to confirm that it was indeed me calling them.

    I didn't send a copy of my drivers license or SS#, but sent them 3 pieces of ID with all of the information they requested contained in them. The next day a representative informed me that the forms I sent them were insufficient and they could activate my card without having my driver's license and SS card. They won't even close my account and refund my money.

    Long story short, I contacted my Chase Bank and they were shocked that I was asked to send them personal information. They advised me to file a complaint with the BBB and talk to an attorney about suing Capital One with Fraud to get my money back. They will attempt to reverse the charge, but have had dealings like this in the past and unfortunately, this fraud that Capital One is pulling is very hard to sue due to the fact that the fraud, and customer service departments are located in a different country and don't have to abide by our business laws. So tell everyone you know not to do any business with Capital One Bank in the future. That is the only way that we can fight them.

    I have had Capital One checking and credit card for over a year. My credit score went from 525 to 625. I received 2 rewards checks, one for $84.00 and one for $30.00. When I had an unauthorized charge on my credit card or checking, they worked with me to get the problem resolved. They have done a few things that I didn't like but overall, if you stick with them they do give you rewards and your credit score improves if all payments are made on time. Also, the bank staff is always friendly and helpful. It's rare that I take time to give good reviews but I think that they deserve it because they have always been fair with me.

    I called Capital One to ask some questions about my credit card account. When I dialed their number, which I had gotten off of their website, I was greeted by an automated message prompting me to fill out a survey, which I did. I thought it had something to do with Capital One since it didn't give me any other options. After a few questions I was told I had won a free cruise and someone from "Holiday Cruise Line" answered the phone. I told them I was just trying to reach my credit card company, did I dial the wrong number?

    The Holiday Cruise Line rep and I had a 30 minute conversation (with me believing I had actually won a free cruise for about 15 minutes). After lots of questions I found out it wasn't actually free, he wanted my credit card info, and if I didn't agree to the "free" cruise right then and there (because I said I wanted to hang up and do some investigating) I wouldn't be eligible anymore. That's when I finally hung up.

    I called Capital One again and got a real rep. I told them about the cruise line and they said it was a real company working with them. Why the hell do you have some scamming company answering your phone number, Capital One? I am very, VERY upset about almost being bullied out of a lot of money from a company that Capital One is legitimately letting bully their customers. This is the worst experience I have ever had with any company that I entrust with my money. I'm fairly certain I will be cancelling my card with Capital One.

    I have received charges on my Capital One Costco Mastercard from Brazil in the $1000 of dollars. I live in Canada. The Groupon account not mine so they found my card number and was able to use it with their Groupon account. I called Capital One in Canada and because the transaction is pending, I would have assumed that they could block or cancel the charge the same way that Visa does. But nope...they said that the transaction will go through and could take up to 90 days to investigate! And no guarantee that they can do anything! Bad on Costco to partner with these clowns! Nothing good to say about Capital One. My card is overdrawn and not usable! Also read Capital One small print -- they are not liable for anything! I will cancel this card but will have to wait for it to get sorted out first.

    I have had an account with Capital One for many years. In July 2012 my mother was diagnosed with cancer and came to live with us so I could take care of her. I was also taking care of my two children and working full time so I was definitely distracted and made late payments to my credit card companies. In December of 2013 I was diagnosed with cancer so things got even more complicated. Luckily I had gotten a cancer policy on my insurance which let me pay off my 457 loan at work and get a new one to pay off all my credit cards.

    I paid off my entire $12,000 debt to Cap One and was intending on asking them to lower my available credit to $1000 just so I could have one card open for emergencies. I was told they permanently restricted my account and have forfeited the points I had accrued as well. I don't even know if that is worse for my credit history or if my closing the account is. If I had known they would do this I would have kept the money and taken my sweet time paying them.

    I opened an acct in Nov with Capital One. It's been a nightmare since then. Most banks make funds readily available as soon as the acct is opened. Not Capital One! My employer kept trying to deposit into that acct for 2 months, never went through. Finally went through & I still can't thought money. I have had to borrow and borrow. I also had to have my employer mail me a check, just so that I could pay bills and feed my kid. I had 2 deposits to come in on last Tuesday. Here it is another Tuesday, & I still don't have access to this money.

    I have called, & get the run around. Talk to one rep, get transferred to another who reassured me that I would have access. That was a lie. Then I was told go to the branch. Branch tellers look at you like a deer in caught in headlights. As soon as I get access, I'm pulling everything out and going back to Wells Fargo. Never had problems. I switched to Capital One because there was a branch near my house & job. Worst move I have ever made. You live & you learn. Thanks to Capital One my bills are now 30 days past due.

    I had applied for a capital one card to build up my credit. (My score started at 560 or so, and they recommended this particular card for that very reason). My credit limit was $300. I downloaded the capital one app so I could pay my card online using my checking account. After a couple of times using the app to make payments, I noticed that they were being 'denied' or 'sent back'. I never got any alerts or notifications deeming this to be a fraudulent matter, so I decided to forego the app and use my bank account app to pay them from there on. About 3 months later I go to use my card and it's declined. I thought it was weird, so when I got home to access my account they said it was restricted.

    I immediately called them only to find out they had deemed the payments that didn't go through were fraudulent and shut the account down. I asked why they didn't notify me about any of this and they said, and I quote "We don't do that kind of thing." Uh, what? You don't make a customer aware of fraudulent activity on their account? Ooohh. My bad. Anyways, after about an hour and a half on the phone with them trying to explain that the only 'fraud' was on their part due to the app malfunctions, they convince me that I can apply for a new account and everything should be fine. Wrong. They managed to dock my credit report with a hard inquiry and decline. I made a conscious decision to just pay off my card (the little $250 I had accrued) and try with a different company.

    I have the credit karma app and I check it very regularly. At this point I had raised my credit score to 648. I get an email from credit karma saying there and been a change to my score. I log in, and to my utter disbelief, my score had dropped to 525! I had been a little late around Christmas with a payment, but I had always made the payment. They are the only credit card I have. I call them up to find out why my score had dropped so drastically when I maybe missed one payment and had an outstanding balance of $333 (which was also unclear). At this point I have not received a straight answer and am awaiting a response from the supervisor on my case. Please, if you are thinking about getting a capital one card to help improve and build your credit, DON'T. YOU WILL REGRET IT.

    Due to a severe illness, my account with Capital One went over 120 delinquent. Late last fall, I contacted them to make arrangements to get the balance back below the credit line [I never used the card to cause the account balance to go over the credit line but the interest and late payment fees quickly drove the balance up] and agreed to make large minimum payments to bring the balance back down. I checked on the progress via their website. Yesterday, when after my last payment had posted to the account, I called to ask why the 'currently restricted' notice on the available credit balance was still there. I was told that even though the account was NOT closed, it would never be opened again as their policy no matter what the reason or efforts made is that once the account has reached the 120 day period the account is closed to future use.

    I know it was ultimately my fault but in all the phone conversations I had with their representatives arranging for payments, I was never told that their efforts were to get the balance to zero and THEN close the account. I will take my time and limited resources to work with an entity that is more honest. The sad thing is I have been with Capital One for almost 20 years!!!

    On Capital One's 360 Security Page for online banking, they assure us that our money is safe. Feel secure? Well, don't. Capital One 360 will let fraudulent charges pile up and do absolutely nothing about it. Plus, once you do find out, they will not reimburse you no matter what type of proof you have. I didn't open a Capital One 360 account, ING Direct became Capital One and I was an ING Direct customer. I had qualms so I left some money in thinking I could use them for online purchases. Huge mistake! Huge. And it's cost me over $400. I have a clue when it began.

    Before March 2014, I bought a few things here & there. Mostly gas. Few online purchases from reputable companies. In March, Facebook decides to get into the banking arena. With their all new encompassing Policy Agreement, they pretty much say that all or any financial data, including private data used by an FB member on their site becomes theirs also to use when they see fit. Enter Capital One 360 via iTunes and my money began to be systematically siphoned out every other day, sometimes three and four times a day. How? I would put my Capital One card into iTunes when I used it and then removed it via settings on my iPad. I had been playing a particular game and needed play cash. The $9.99 charge became a $19.99 charge: $24.99; $14.99; $1.99; $2.99; .30cents (yes, .30 cents).

    These were almost daily charges. Why didn't I know? My mother became ill. I was distracted, driving 250 miles back and forth, helping Hospice and my step father. Plus, I wasn't using the card frequently. Before March 2014, there had been little activity. After March, which coincides with Facebook's new Policy, I was supposedly glued to the internet racking up charges on one, yes...one game. No, not Candy Crush. A game called Pearl's Perils. Did I buy anything? Yes. Unfortunately for me, I bought some play cash to open up land. Was I buying play cash daily? No. There wasn't any need to buy play cash except occasionally.

    After my mother's death, I checked my balance on my Capital One 360 card. I almost keeled over. iTunes, iTunes, iTunes. Every single date had iTunes on it. I immediately called iTunes. They didn't even hesitate. They could only reverse 90 days worth. iTunes was obviously very used to reversing online game charges. iTunes had become so alarmed at the extent of the charges, they blocked the game and stopped paying. Now this becomes bizarre. I go into my FB settings to remove the game App, and notice PayPal as my FB Account mode of payment. PayPal? How did Facebook get my PayPal Account information? I never used PayPal for anything on FB! How did they get my password? My email associated with PayPal?

    It gets worse. I log into Paypal and see iTunes charges in there. But next to them, it read "Denied." One line down, it reads: Facepay (or something similar). Again: $14.99; $9.99; $24.99 etc. 50 charges, 100 charges. My PayPal Account was being systematically drained. And PayPal had my main bank attached to it. I was beyond myself.

    To make a very long, horrifying story as short as I can, I called PayPal and was told I had an Agreement with Facebook. I did? When? When I bought something from an online clothing store off of Facebook. What? I immediately called said store. Yes, I bought a tank top there months and months ago on their private website. What did Facebook have to do with where I shop off of their domain? Well, I came across an obscure news article that PayPal's CEO now works for FB. Excuse me? It all came together. PayPal let Facebook in without my knowledge, consent, password or email address. Guess who wouldn't block Facebook Payer? PayPal and Capital One 360. PayPal at least reimbursed me.

    However, after 3 days of filing the disputed charges, Capital One 360 decides there were no errors. Despite my sending them a receipt I found from FB saying the charge was unauthorized. I didn't make it. A hacker was non-existent. The developers of the game were padding my account and iTunes with my Capital One card, not on file, paid them. They, however, reversed all of the charges for a 90 day period. PayPal reversed the whole year. Capital One? Not one penny. Dispute Closed, read their email after 3 days! Really? I don't think so. I've closed PayPal. I've transferred all money left to another bank. I've changed all of my passwords and closed all online banking except for one online bank.

    I opened a pre-paid credit card to build credit. You can never spend what you have not loaded. I pay close attention to my due dates. Bill is due on the 12th and the statement prints on the 15th. So I look at my transactions each month about 2 days before the 12th, so around the tenth. I pay the entire balance and try to leave 30 or 40 bucks outstanding just to show rotation. So I make a payment on the tenth and another before the statement prints on the 15th. Immediately they take close to 400 dollars out toward pending transaction.

    This is a prepaid card and you cannot spend more that you have loaded onto the card. Also it subtracts from your available credit each transaction. I noticed this about two years ago and closed my daughters account because of the same thing. They double bill you and then have a ton of overseas workers whom you can barely understand try to confuse you about how you spend your money. It’s theft plain and simple.

    I have a plus 800 credit score. I have several credit cards that I always pay off in full every month. When I have applied for a credit card I have always been approved immediately. I applied for a Capital One credit card in late December, mainly to use in a foreign country as they do not impose an International usage fee. For whatever reason they could not approve me over the phone but I did get a letter of approval dated Jan. 2, 2015, with a $10,000.00 credit line. I was leaving for a two week trip on Jan 12 and did not receive any other mailings from them prior to that. Upon my return I received my two weeks worth of mail from the USPO. In there there were three letters from Capital One. Two dated Jan. 12th and the third containing my new approved card.

    One letter stated, "we think a fraudulent credit card may have been opened using some of your personal information and you may be a victim of identity theft." The other letter stated, "We suspected some fraudulent activity on your Capital One Credit card account". All this without me even starting the approval process on the new card. I called Capital One and talked to several people and finally got a Supervisor. Talking to these people was one of the most frustrating ordeals I have ever undertaken, especially when one considers that they are the ones who are selling me their product.

    After much conversation I was finally able to pin this Supervisor down that there was not any "fraudulent use" of this card or usage or leakage of "personal information", nor had there ever been. She admitted that it was just a ploy to scare or frighten you to get you to call them so they could get more information about yourself or to "re-verify" (BS) your information by you sending them a copy of your driver's license, your SS card, and whatever else they wanted. Out and out lies in written form to frighten, scare, etc. and to what avail. Consumer protection, I seriously doubt it.

    I cancelled my non activated account with them right after ascertaining that these were actually lies to get further information about myself. To what avail I am not sure but I do know I don't want to do any business with a company like this and I am hoping this letter will give pause to anyone else considering getting a Capital One card. Also if anyone could tell me where I could go to present this information to prohibit Capital One from using this tactics I would appreciate it.
