    You make a payment online, your bank transfers the funds to Capital One and it takes up to 1 week before they reflect the funds against your account. If you contact them, they only give you the run around. Saying although "We can help you", they never do. Corporate banking bull to the highest degree. Most credit card companies process the online transaction in less than one day. Capital One holds your funds for up to a week. This allows them to invest your money using overnight loans and earning lots of interest. Talk about a massive scam.

    I made a double payment by accident. I contacted Capital One the day that I noticed the mistake and called them. The first rep told me to call back after the payment has been processed from my bank. I called the next day after it had been processed, the first rep put me on hold for 40 minutes, I wasted my work lunch time as he didn't come back to the line. I called back, this time the rep offered a refund by mailing me a check that would take up to 10 days, I asked to speak with a supervisor only to be told the same thing. Their customer service is terrible, my time was wasted as no solution was offered as I told them that extra payment was meant for a different bill and I need it that money back in my account sooner; it did not make a difference.

    I had a run-in with a BJ's employee when using my Capital One credit card, whereby she was not at all helpful in assessing why it would not work. I know she is not a Capital One employee, but it was the attitude that said it all and had had enough with the credit cards being an issue. I called and told Capital One my card was not working and they couldn't have cared less until I told them to cancel the card. They tried to get me to keep it but nope cancelled it. Now, with no bills and no notes to me, they are assessing late fees and more and more interest. Also note that I have tried numerous times to make payment and system was down, so I forgot. Would have been late as I pay on the due date and not before. Now they have Discover. Unless they refund me, I will be cancelling that card too.

    Capital One Travel prioritizes policy over actual customer service. I booked through their travel portal expecting support if issues came up, but instead experienced endless transfers, scripted responses, and zero ownership from anyone involved. Even after the hotel itself approved a goodwill accommodation and was willing to move the reservation, Capital One Travel continued hiding behind process and third-party policies instead of helping solve the problem.

    The entire experience made it clear that once something falls outside of the standard script, customer support has very little authority or willingness to advocate for the customer. Ironically, the hotel showed far more empathy, flexibility, and problem-solving than the company, advertising itself as the customer-facing travel service. In my opinion, the points and occasional savings are absolutely not worth the tradeoff in customer service and flexibility. After this experience, I would strongly advise people to avoid booking through the Capital One Travel portal altogether and book directly with hotels whenever possible.

    Capital one caused a 16 point decrease on my credit report which is a direct result of their incompetent reporting on my line of credit. They reported my line of credit as 1290.00 when it IS 15,000.00, this is a huge and unacceptable mistake. This type of mistake, they should be able to correct it immediately, INSTEAD they gave me the run around, wasted 2 hours of my time, and insisted I do their work. CAPITAL ONE has all my information and should have the ability to correct it, they are not paying me hourly to correct THEIR mistake. I have closed all cards with them and will NEVER deal with them again in the future. I need to bill them for my time wasted and stolen from my family due to their HUGE mistake. I HAVE excellent credit for a reason, one being I do not tolerate INCOMPETENCE from a company like capital one.

    I had initiated the CD option to close the account at maturity and have it transferred into my savings account. I received an email confirmation of that status one month prior to the maturity. However, on the maturity date, the CD did not close and instead rolled over into a 14-month period. Because it was within the 10-day grace period, I was able to manually close the account and transfer the funds into my savings account. You cannot write Capital One to inquire so I had to call their Customer Service. The agent put me on hold to research what may have happened and told me that it would require further research. But she also said that I would not receive anything in writing and therefore would never know the results of their research.

    There is something wrong with their system given that the online options don't work correctly and that they will not put anything in writing. She said that I could always call back to ensure that my maturity options for my other two CDs are correct, but that implies that their online options really are not reliable and the phone assistance not really that helpful. This does not instill confidence. When my two other CDs mature, I will be closing my savings and credit card accounts and open accounts at another institution.

    When their system "suspects" fraudulent charges (which usually is for no reason at all), they completely shut down your card and you can't do anything online to verify you made the purchases, you have to call them. Then, even when you verify it isn't fraudulent, they shut down your card anyway and you can't make purchases for days because you have to wait for a new card to be issued. There is no way to contact them through text or email. They claim to be the most technologically forward company, but they are, by far, the least. They have phone and fax, and their system is completely IDIOTIC! I got their card because of the rewards, but the stress of having to redo everywhere that I have autopay on this card when there was absolutely nothing wrong is not worth it!!! And this is the third time it's happened.

    If I could leave 0 stars, I would. Ever since Capital One took over Discover, it's been a nightmare. Never in my life have I had so many issues with a credit card company. Anything I had as a recurring charge was cancelled instead of automatically charged to the new card. I stopped being able to use my existing card without notice. I can never get into the account online without calling them and going through a phone tree and reverifying information. They are the absolute worst. Will be cancelling immediately.

    I was drawn in by the credit card details and terms which sounded nice. Applied through a fairly easy process and was approved. Only after logging into my account did I notice that many security details were attached to my ex wife's information. So I called support, needing assurance that those details usable to access my account would be replaced with my own.

    The first customer service representative was cordial and understanding, then they transferred me to technical services, where the rep told me I was an idiot. Those details could never be removed. They identified me and that single sign-on was for my convenience and would always be available to those who knew the details. My phone would not be confirmed as MFA, and they would not remove her information. After being belittled and told they don't care if she can steal from me, I had to close the accounts with them about an hour after I had to endure hard credit inquiries and the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

    I am extremely disappointed with Capital One. I have been a loyal customer for years, and today I received a letter stating that my account has been closed—just like that. The reason given was that they could not verify information they had requested, yet I never received any prior communication asking for this information.

    For a large, well-known bank, it is unacceptable not to make a reasonable effort to contact a long-time customer by phone or email before taking such a drastic step. This experience has been frustrating, disrespectful, and completely avoidable. As a result, I have lost trust in this institution and will not be opening any accounts with Capital One in the future.

    I have had this credit card with Capital One for over 15 years. I always pay my monthly balance on time and in full. One fact relevant to this is; about a year prior to this incident, I had to replace my capital one credit card. Capital one mailed me a new credit card with a new Credit card number but on the same current account.

    At the end of February 2026, a fraudster charged my credit card for what appears to be a monthly parking payment of $385, the vendor appears to be a major parking lot company. The fraudster used my old credit card account number. I noticed the fraudulent charge on March 2nd 2026. I have never paid for monthly parking. Although I do occasionally pay for parking in New York city, it has never ever been for more than a few hours. I called capital one to dispute the charge. They immediately put a hold on this charge and issued a credit for that amount. However, on March 3rd, they declined my claim of fraud and put it back on my balance.

    I called them immediately. The reason they gave me was simply that their algorithm determined this was a genuine charge. After pressing them for more details, the rep reluctantly told me that this was an online charge and that the IP address was consistent with other of my genuine charges. I debated that IP addresses can easily be spoofed and that fact is far from certain proof, but I could not get any more information about this charge and they stuck with their conclusion. I continued to press including the fact that the charge was made on my old credit card number, which I have NEVER again used since I got my new card. That fell into death ears.

    I then requested to speak with a manager. The manager gave me the exact same scripted response. I then told them that I would cancel my credit card if they did not do any further examination of this case. They told me I could just do that but that does not change their conclusion. So I did cancel my credit card paid the balance excluding the amount of that charge. Of course, they then apply some late fees of $25 + Interest on the balance. After doing some research for recourses, I found out there is no way to stop them for charging me late fees and interest while I am disputing this charge. So I finally paid it. Of course I could always file a lawsuit with the small claim court. But this is a long and time consuming process.

    Bottom line is that Capital one Algorithms are rather poor. It seems that their policy is that if the fraud is not obvious, then deny the fraud claim instead of further investigating it. They did not give any credence to my claim despite having been a good client always paying my balance on time. They also did not consider the fact that the charge was made on an old card number which was never used for almost a year. They did not consider that IP addresses can be spoofed. It looks like if the fraud is not obvious, the policy is to not spend the resources to investigate and to not lose the money, and so charge the client.

    I am an active-duty service member who was recently approved for benefits under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) through Capital One. On 5/15/26, I called the Veterans Line along with my wife. We were assisted by an employee named Chuck. During the call, Chuck was unbelievably rude and disrespectful to both my wife and me. His tone and behavior were completely unprofessional and left us shocked.

    As a service member who has just gone through the SCRA approval process, I am deeply concerned that an employee working specifically on the Veterans Line would treat a veteran and his family with such hostility. I cannot understand why someone in that role would appear to hold such clear disdain for the veteran community that the SCRA is designed to protect.

    Sorry for the rant here but I've been stewing on this all. I have been with Capital One since roughly 2017. I opened a platinum card account so I could work on my credit and quickly followed this by opening a 360 checking account. Flash forward a few years and the platinum card has been upgraded to a quick silver and my deposit returned to me. Had nothing but good experiences for my entire time as a customer and have regularly recommended them. Especially over using chime or cash app as your primary bank.

    Then out of nowhere at 7am on a Saturday, they deactivated both of my Quick Silver cards. Their official reason "We are closing this Quicksilver Credit Card because Capital One has observed activity on one or more of your Capital One accounts that is inconsistent with typical customer account usage." Which means literally nothing.

    The customer support rep said it is likely do to a handful of returned payments. Which I will take fault for, I've been juggling to many things lately and occasionally forgot about a different automatic withdrawal, but it's been like 5 total in 6 years and I would blame them for at least 2 of them as they "returned" a payment back to my 360 event tho the funds were in there and indicated that I had to initiate a new payment, which I did at a higher amount as the original payment had not been withdrawn and I had just been paid.

    They processed both payments and kicked back the larger one and immediately shut off my QS accounts even though the original has been in good standing for 6 years and I had never had a returned payment. (The whole reason I opened a capital one checking account was to make paying the card easier. They are literally just move a balance for one column to another.)

    No attempt to connect with me or explain what was going on. I'm honestly not sure how they just took from me in rewards, but it was likely a decent amount as I run all of bills through one and my work expense account through the other. The experience has ruined the company for me and I will be closing the remainder of my accounts as soon as possible. Now I'm waiting for them to withdraw my last payment, which post to the balance on the CC on the 8th and that they confirmed was received via email, but has still not been removed from the checking account.

    This is a long review I wrote, but essentially they do not protect their customers from fraud and have little sympathy for it. Beware of this credit card company. I was recently on vacation in Mexico from April 4-11, 2026, and decided to withdraw money from a bank machine on the resort I was staying at. I withdrew $400 Canadian dollars on April 9. As soon as I was done my transaction my phone bank app alerted me that 3 additional transactions took place almost immediately. One for $122.85 and another one for $545.86 CAD and another one for $84. The $84 one was flagged and denied by my credit card company which is Capital one Mastercard, but the first two charges went through. My original transaction from the bank machine was listed as Bankaoolcabo. The next transaction was listed as ** JesusEnrique and the next one was listed as ** JoseLos. I then went into my bank app and locked my card so no further charges could go through.

    I went to the front desk of the resort and they directed me to a money exchange booth that they said was responsible for the bank machine. The exchange desk clerk gave me a phone number to call. I took a picture of that phone number but was going to wait until I got home to call it because my cell phone was not set up to make calls while in Mexico. After I returned home I called Capital One the next day, and told them what happened. They said they would remove the charges from my card. Then on April 28 Capital One called me to inform me that they were going to reapply the charges because my physical card with PIN # was used for these transactions even though I explained that those charges all happened within 5 minutes of my original transaction. They advised me to contact the merchant. I then tried calling the phone number I took a picture of and it was out of service.

    I called Capital One back and explained that to them, they then said that I could make a police report and provide them with the information from that and they would look at removing the charges again. I went to the police station on April 29th and filled out a report. I called Capital One back providing them with all the information they asked for except a suspect name. I explained that the police officer told me that they cannot launch an investigation into something that happened in Mexico. So essentially there will never be a suspect name. Capital One said they cannot move forward with reversing the charges because they need the suspect name and they closed my file. I then seen on their paperwork that I could request my file be forwarded to the Capital One Complaints Resolution Office if I was dissatisfied with the outcome of my claim.

    I spoke to the manager then who told me the same thing, they cannot do anything at all without a suspect name. They also told me that these charges were made by an Art Supplies Company. How could I make a transaction at one location and then run to another and spend almost another $700 in less than 5 minutes?? I think it is hugely unfair that they are making me pay all this money when I did not make these transactions.

My account is connected to an old name from before a name change, despite me opening the account years after the name was changed.

    Capital One platinum; If I could leave zero stars I would. They gave me an offer for a zero annual fee only to deny me, but approve me for a secured credit card. They are phishing and hope that you bite.. They are completely bogus. They need to go away. Imagine not needing the money, but want to increase your credit limit. They want you to give them some money for your own credit. Even when you don’t need it.. these credit card companies are trash. Use them to build credit, not borrow money.

    I am cancelling my Capital One account. Their process of handling out of the ordinary customer situations is beyond justification. A company as large as Capital One should have contingency plans. I had to cancel my card and ask for a new one. I have spent an hour, two different times, then an hour online, trying to change a phone number I have not had, or have access to, for three years. If they cannot verify me through that number, I cannot receive a new card. They are saying they can do nothing. It is ridiculous. Beyond belief.

    I was a Capital One customer for 30 years. I spent 5 1/2 hours on the telephone one day trying to get some help from customer service, fighting the language barrier and four different countries, the Philippines, Mexico, or a Spanish-speaking group of people, not sure which could’ve been Costa Rica and everybody that I talk to was only trained to ask verification questions.

    Other than that, they couldn’t understand a simple question being asked of them, and didn’t have any background and knowing what to do to help a customer after five hours on the telephone, I lost it. I told the person in the call center that they were. Incompetent should take more pride in their job and learn to do their job well and should learn the language if they’re going to support a US market. Capital One canceled my relationship with them after 30 years, the next day with a letter that was nasty and impersonal, intentionally good riddance. I went from a credit card that had 30% as the rate to 17% because of my excellent credit rating, good riddance.

    All around terrible. It's to the point where it almost feels like they're running a scam. I've done this three times now just to see if it's common practice with them or coincidence. However all three times I got the same results. I get a flyer in the mail telling me I'm pre-approved. I sign up. They get all the necessary information and I get my card in the mail, in a timely manner. Yay I'm pre-approved for what I'm guessing is their minimum credit line. But I figure what the heck, maybe I'll build some credit and get a higher one in the future, so I activate card. Some time goes by and time comes when I decide to use my card. Three out of three times my first transaction gets declined and then they freeze the account dinging it for fraudulent purchases. LMAO.

    It's my first purchase. On what are they basing this fraudulent activity on? Anyway so I proceed to call them and tell the fraud people it's I the user so by all means they can retract the hold on my card now. But oh no not this fraud team. Even after proving I was who I said I was and it was me trying to use the card, I figured that would conclude our business with the fraud department but I figured wrong. Every single time they would tell me they couldn't unfreeze my card until I basically sent them every single thing you could possibly think of regarding my personal life, information, employment. All this for a minimum credit line. And coming from the fraud department of all places.

    And like with any credit card you apply for a fair amount of this information I've already given them during the application process. Assuming all is well once approved. And giving them all the information I was willing to give them apparently wasn't enough even though being granted approval makes no sense to me. I mean just deny me during the application process if the information I'm willing to share doesn't merit their minimums. But instead they seem to have some game they like to play. Like I said three out of three so it's definitely in the manuscript.

    My favorite part is upon me denying giving them any more than I already have and since they can't or won't relinquish my credit line without this atrocious amount of more information, I then proceed to ask them for one of two things and that is to free up my credit line and if you're unable to do this or unwilling to do this then please I'd like to close this account because it's obviously useless to me from this point on. So we closed the account. Or accounts I should say. Three times. My favorite part of this last one was when he asked me how I'd like to pay the $39 balance. Which was the yearly fee I believe. I said, "That's never going to happen." If I used the card even once, I would be more than happy to pay the fee. But since the card virtually isn't even active since they freeze it instantly upon the first purchase or attempted purchase which also is inconvenient and a headache and embarrassing in some situations.

    That is $39 of what they will never see from me. Consequences be damned. I don't know. I guess I just find it frustrating and not very logical or whatever approach this is that they insinuate on doing. I can't imagine it makes for a happy customer base. Perhaps the super wealthy at the top are just bored with their lives and have to torment us lower on the totem pole folks for their entertainment. I find it just nuts. That's all. So if you're thinking of giving them a try I would pass, save yourself the headache and satisfaction of knowing you're depriving some old rich prick his entertainment for the evening.

    I’ve been dealing with an issue with Capital One for over a month now, and it’s been one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had with a bank. I made a credit card payment using my own external bank account. Shortly after, they flagged it as possible fraud and locked my account. Fine, I understand security checks happen. But what doesn’t make sense is that they still took my money while keeping my account restricted and making it nearly impossible to fix the situation.

    Since then, I’ve submitted everything they’ve asked for to prove the account is mine (bank statements, screenshots, direct deposit forms), all clearly showing my name and account. They keep rejecting it because my bank masks part of the account number for security reasons, which is normal for a lot of banks. Even my bank has told me that what Capital One is asking for is unreasonable. Every time I call, I get a different answer or no real solution. There’s no flexibility, no common sense, and no clear path to actually resolve this.

    What really crossed the line is that Capital One somehow contacted my mother about this issue, and she is not listed on my account at all. I never authorized that, and there is absolutely no reason they should be discussing my financial matters with anyone else. That’s a serious privacy concern. At this point, it feels like I’m being punished for using my own bank account to make a payment. My money is gone, my account is locked, and I’m stuck going in circles with customer service. I just want my account fixed and access restored, but instead I’ve wasted weeks dealing with this with no resolution. I would not recommend Capital One based on this experience.

    Their customer service representatives are polite but not always knowledgeable regarding credit card information. I was waiting for a card to arrive by USPS and never received it. However, somehow while being in the possession of the United States Postal Service my card was intercepted by someone and they made five different charges on the card before I ever saw the card or even received the card. I insisted that the replacement card needed to be sent by FedEx and it was. So I did get the replacement card and the charges were not mine so I wasn't charged for those fraudulent purchases. I was offered an upgraded credit card and I accepted that offer and was waiting for my new upgrade card but that too disappeared in the mail system and Capital One said that they would not send the replacement by FedEx as they did the first time and that they would send the replacement but United States Postal Service.

    Wish I was not happy about because after the first experience with never receiving my card I was reluctant to trust the postal service again. The representative on the phone informed me that my present card that I owned would not be canceled until I received graded card and that turned out to be incorrect information. So I was left without a credit card and was still waiting for the one that was supposed to be arriving by US mail which had not been received and was way overdue. Overall it's just been a frustrating experience with misinformation and cards being stolen by United States Postal Service employees. Capital One needs to stop relying on the United States Postal Service when they send credit cards and send them via FedEx which is more secure.

I insisted on talking to a manager because there IS ALWAYS someone who can override the computer software. I was patched through to someone named Diana or Diane who was VERY UNHELPFUL!

So I did, not this year it happen again, always making payment and I had a problem with my bank, so I arrange to schedule a payment. They accept. So I went to used my card, they denied. I call capital one and they told me they automatically close on both accounts. For late payment and the bank problem. This is not the first time it happen to me from capital One.

    I have had savings and checking accounts with Capital One. Never a problem. Applied for credit card and it was approved and received. Trying to activate it was a nightmare. It was restricted and when I called they needed a selfie and photo ID. I didn't have the patience to do all that since they already have all my info on file. Supervisor was nicer than foreign customer rep but no luck. I said to cancel it and they said they couldn't do that unless it was activated. I gave up and threw it out. Not a fan.

    I had two accounts with Capital One and notified them when I moved overseas, and they said it would be no problem. The moment I moved, the problem began. Despite giving them my address in Europe TEN TIMES!! They never added it to either account. My cards would get randomly declined and when I tried to read them to my Apple Wallet, I would get a notification I needed to confirm my card and the confirmation process never worked once.

    I was quite happy with Capital One until I made two payments on the same card on the same day. I decided to pay the balance after making a payment. I got a note that I could not do that. I assumed Capital would not debit my bank account but they did without adjusting my card balance. Since July, I have contacted customer service countless times. A month later, I asked for a check. They sent it, tacked the same amount onto my balance! I got that even though it was over my credit limit. Until January they claimed it was my mistake. Then, I asked my account to print everything out, called them, and was told by two reps they could see their error but I was past the six-month grace period for solving the problem. There are quite a few customers that have complained about the practice. It’s theft, and I will work to get it settled until it is settled.

    The system is rigged at Capital One. I had a credit card payment that didn't go through because of insufficient funds, so I got a notice the payment was late. They charged me a fee for this. Then, I made a payment which was the minimum due on a Friday, through the app. By Monday morning I was still getting "late" notices and the payment still said "processing" on the app. I tried using their AI but it did not help.

    I called their support line and spoke to a representative. He was no help at all. He said that the payment hadn't gone through because it was over the weekend and it takes several business days to process a payment. I said, what? The app doesn't work on the weekend? He could not explain why, and he would not waive the late fee either. He said the payment should process by tomorrow (Tuesday). I said this makes no sense. When I have made payments through the app before, it processes in seconds. Now, with a late payment, it takes 4 business days? This is ridiculous. As soon as I can get my balance transferred to another company, I will be doing so.

    I really didn’t want to make a review about Capital One credit card but I feel they lied to get me to get a credit card. Number 1 it was only supposed to be to check your approval process and let you know if you’re able to get the credit card but they didn’t give me the option of agreeing or not because they already ran my credit so I was obligated to get it and then they say automatic credit increase but that’s not true. They want to run your credit again. Now if Visa can approve me for 10,000 dollar limit why Capital One only offered me a 500 dollar limit with a 100 dollar increase? I pay the full balance each month and pay early. You would think they see my ability to pay. So I’m not using it at all until they raise my credit limit to at least 5000 because at five hundred dollars as soon as you spend anything more than the 30 percent your credit will take a hit so I’ll just continue to use my Visa until Capital One does better.

    In my opinion, this company has the worst customer service and inexperienced agents I have ever seen! There are many credit card companies and banks out there that are superior to Capital One! After three months of trying to close a credit card account, calling several times for pay off balances, paid in full balances to my knowledge and agents, and paying interest charges that were their fault for not explaining.

    After calling for payoff amounts that were not correct on their end because daily interest by the time they received a check was no longer paid in full, so they charge interest on the whole account for that month! Not that we found that out by the previously two agents that don't know how their interest works! A manager Ashley that was also not helpful or understanding of our situation told us, receiving a bill in the mail and paying in full with a check, by the time they receive a check you have another 4-5 days interest that it took them to receive the check.

    So according to them, those extra few days has interest which is no longer paid in full, so they charge interest on the whole previous balance that month! Even a month after the account was closed, I received a bill strictly interest because of this, that's when Ashley, a manager sees we have called the last three months trying to resolve this and figure it out tells us why, because were mailing paid in full checks, even after talking to other agents are not receiving them that day, I guess!

    You think she cared her agents were giving us false information, or information they didn't even understand themselves? No, she didn't, just made us pay the interest over the phone to finally get the account zeroed out! If I would have paid my interest-only bill through the mail, I would have gotten another interest bill next month, two months after the account has been closed. I am very disappointed and angry how Capital One handled this drawn-out situation that took them 3 months to explain and didn't care one bit!

    Beware of Capital One 360 bill pay service when your payee is mailed paper checks. Capital One's process is to create the check and send it to the payee by USPS. At the time the check is created, Capital One withdraws the check amount from your account -- not when the check is cashed by the payee. In the unfortunate event of the payee not receiving payment, Capital One does not try to resend payment and they consider this transaction closed. Their process is for the customer to 'dispute' the payment and Capital One will investigate the issue which takes up to 10-45 business days to restore the funds (if they decide to). They do not use tracking on this payment, so no one really knows what the issue was (Cap One or USPS).

    It is up to the customer to create another bill payment for the payee (but the original transaction funds can't be used for the new bill payment). This practice is not disclosed to customers in the terms and conditions of the bill pay service. This practice is vastly different from banks such as US Bank, where their service is limited to creating the check and mailing it to the payee on your behalf; the funds are NOT withdrawn from your account until the check is cashed.

    I’ve been a loyal Capital One customer for over 15 years. For a decade and a half, I did everything the right way—paid my bills on time, never missed payments, and paid thousands of dollars in interest along the way. I believed loyalty mattered. I believed that if I ever hit a hard season in life, the company I had supported for so many years would show a little understanding in return. Last January, my life took a turn I never expected. I lost my job. Instead of giving up, I tried to rebuild. I started a business, hoping to create something better for my future. Unfortunately, I trusted the wrong business partner, and that decision cost me my life savings.

    Since then, I’ve been fighting every single day to stay afloat. I’ve sold my personal belongings. I’ve canceled every unnecessary bill. I’ve applied for job after job, nonstop, trying to recover and rebuild my life. Through all of that struggle, I still made sure to keep my payments to Capital One on time, because that’s the kind of customer I’ve always been.

    But eventually, reality caught up with me. I reached the point where I had to start researching bankruptcy. I even looked into debt consolidation programs where credit card companies negotiate balances down to half. Out of loyalty—and honestly, hope—I decided to call Capital One before taking those steps. I explained everything: the job loss, the failed business partnership, the sacrifices I’ve made, and how hard I’ve been trying to stay responsible.

    All I asked was if there was any program that could temporarily reduce my payment or waive the monthly fee for a few months while I get back on my feet. They told me they wanted to help because I had been such a loyal customer. Their solution? They offered to waive the late fee for three months—but only if I made the full payment on time. Let that sink in.

    I just explained that I cannot afford the payment right now. I told them I may have to file bankruptcy—which means they receive nothing. I told them I may enter debt consolidation—where their balance would likely be cut in half. Yet after 15 years of loyalty, the only help they could offer was to waive a fee that only applies if I miss the payment they already know I can’t make.

    It felt less like help and more like a scripted response from a system that doesn’t actually listen. Fifteen years of loyalty. Fifteen years of paying on time. Fifteen years of paying interest. And when I finally needed help during the hardest chapter of my life, the answer was essentially… nothing. Thank you, Capital One, for showing exactly how much loyalty really matters to you.

I have never made a late payment in the past 10 years with Capital One, so this was very concerning.

    I contacted customer service again to explain that I had already paid the balance in full and closed the account on January 13.

    Credit cards often send out invitations to people at addresses where they have previously lived because they have no record of current residential addresses. This alone makes me insane! Capital One issued a credit card to an address where I did not reside. The card had been used up to $4,000. When I tried to call and give appropriate information for my identification, they refused to change or acknowledge any of it. I am an international traveler and volunteer.

    I have an address attached to my bank account which they refused to allow me to add. They also refused to allow me to change my phone number associated with my account (it changed because I had been out of the country). They have no idea if it was me or someone else who made charges on this credit card. I am very unsatisfied with the way they handled the situation. They have only recently threatened to close the account which is even more infuriating because they don't know who has this credit card and is capable of racking up debt. I've had previous issues with this bank and will never do business with them again!

    I was a CapitalOne customer for ~15 years. They were doing good job resolving problems and providing support, until recently. I opened dispute, providing support documentation and evidences (including Dubai Coast Guard police letter, which was not easy to get), indicating that service I purchased, a cruise, was not provided in full and according to what was advertised. 10-page supporting doc contained synopsis, pictures, screenshots, letters etc.

    To my surprise, CapitalOne either ignored all that information, didn't walk through it, and was not willing neither to assist with charge merchant back or at least provide a partial chargeback. Instead, they just accepted merchant's letter stating that service was provided according to advertisement, and cruise route interruption happened because of coast guard request (which was not true, and I had evidence doc for that). Very disappointing. They are not willing to provide any customer support anymore. I am going to cancel their credit cards and use company with better customer service.

So, I proceeded to get a CD from them with the 875 set it up and they pulled it immediately from my savings. I wanted to replace that money back from my IRS refund so I zelled from my BOA act to Cap 1 act...NOW CAP 1 PUT A HOLD ON IT FOR 2 DAYS TALKING ABOUT IT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED!!!! I'm losing 2 days of interest by NOT being able to replace it back with the 10,000 that's already there...

    I have been a customer for over 15 years. Always considered this to be a great bank with no issues until recently. Closing off branches and now really only able to bank online so if you have issues you have to speak with an automated system or a rep. Account was restricted due to circumstances of my own due to economy and had an overdraft of about $139 for 30 days. Direct deposit went into the account covered the overdraft with a few thousand remaining. Couldn't get cash a the account was permanently closed (I had no knowledge off) so I had a second account ask for the funds to be transferred to my other account and card info transferred also. Cool no problem but funds wont be available for 3-4 business. WTF.

    The funds are there. It still a capital one checking account in great standing. What's the problem, they refuse to lift restriction or pretty much do anything. It's not your money, it's my money. Once everything is done, I will be changing banks. Never experienced anything like this, I can see if I have been a horrible customer and always had issues but never had an issue until now and no grace was shown. Also, now they don't have physical banks, change to Discover, etc. So, I'll bank elsewhere where customers are appreciated.

Card shows up 2.5 months later, I call in, to see if they counted the time I didn't have my card against the points perk. They did, I ask for an extension as I was going to spend the money, they say they will put in a case and let me know if its approved... No email, phone call, nothing, they approve it for 4 days while I'm on a trip, I call when I get back to see if it was approved to use the card and get the points, they say it was, but it expired yesterday and refuse to extend the promo for even another day.

    I opened a Capital One 360 Savings/Credit Card account and less than one month later Capital One abruptly closed these account without providing any substantive explanation. When I requested clarification, I was informed only that the institution had decided it would “no longer” do business with me. No further details or justification were provided.

    This closure occurred shortly after I filed a dispute with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding two late payment entries reported on my account. The timing strongly suggests that the account closure was retaliatory in nature and directly related to my exercise of consumer protection rights. It is important to note that I currently maintain an active auto loan account with Capital One, which remains open and in good standing. Only thing that makes sense is retaliation!

    I have done all my banking through Capital One for years. I will be taking my business elsewhere. I never thought about how inconvenient it is to not have physical branches until I needed immediate help. I needed just a simple document stating about being an authorized user on my mom's account while trying to close on a mortgage. Capital One customer service not only gave me the runaround but continued to send me the wrong document for over a week. I was continuously told that I could not request documents as an authorized user, but when my mom would call, they told her that they could not send documents to her that were addressed in my name. See where the issue lies?

    I am now at risk of being kicked out of my mortgage application all because Capital One cannot seem to provide a fairly simple letter. If I have to call customer service even one more time (only to be sent to someone in the Philippines that can't understand my request to begin with) I will literally pull my hair out. They do not care about the customers well-being or needs. No one cared that I was trying to buy a house. No one would help. At all.

    I am submitting this formal complaint against Capital One regarding their refusal to honor an approved settlement agreement and their stated intent to retain funds beyond the legally agreed amount. In preparation for a refinance, I contacted Capital One prior to my refinance company issuing payments to creditors to request a settlement offer on my account. At that time, Capital One refused to review or process my settlement request. Due to this refusal, my refinance company proceeded to issue a check for the full balance owed, totaling $5,325.82.

    Shortly thereafter, I contacted Capital One again. On this occasion, a representative properly submitted my settlement request, which was approved for $3,500. This approval constitutes a legally binding settlement agreement between myself and Capital One. Although the refinance check has already been issued, Capital One has not yet received the payment. The check is scheduled to be mailed to them on Tuesday, February 10, 2026. Despite this, Capital One has stated they will not adjust the amount upon receipt of the payment and will not return the excess funds, even though the settlement was approved before the funds were received.

    The difference between the full balance payment and the approved settlement amount is $1,825.82, which Capital One has indicated they intend to retain despite the binding settlement agreement. This situation occurred solely because Capital One initially refused to review my settlement request when I first contacted them in good faith. Had Capital One acted appropriately at that time, the payment would have reflected the approved settlement amount. Their refusal to return or credit the excess funds is unjust, unreasonable, and inconsistent with fair consumer practices. I am requesting that Capital One honor the approved settlement and either reject the overpayment or promptly refund the excess amount of $1,825.82 upon receipt of the check.

    Absolutely horrible, I was a very happy Discover Business Card customer for years, then Capital One started the transition in mid Jan 2026, all of a sudden and I could not access my Discover account for 4 days. I finally was able to log in under the new Capital One CC account. However I still did not have the Capital One CC, just the last 4 numbers. The response was it takes 5-7 business days to get your card, please be patient... yada yada. Finally after 4-5 more calls they agreed to fedex me a replacement. I got it on Monday 2 Feb. Went to use it today 4 Feb, but it would not work.

    After 2 more calls to capital one an "Ima" said I had to be verified.... submit my driver's license that worked and then a selfie photo which would not work. Where the hell was that in the beginning of the transition! No banner or messages ever posted or sent to me. So all I want now is my rewards $1562, however I can't even use those since the system according to another Capital one guy "Milton" said it's not working yet. One alternative was they would mail me physical gift cards but that was 2-3 weeks in regular mail. No thank you. So at this point I had already transitioned most of my bills to my VISA business account, so why would I even think about transitioning all those back to Capital one. Lastly the Discover Business card was my main business card, generally charged $250-$300K per year, so this was a big deal to me. Bottomline Capital One transition was a failure.

I immediately called Capital One to dispute the charge only to be told I would have to deal with the vendor directly. The vendor refused to credit my account claiming I didn't call in a timely manner so I disputed the charge with Capital One. They declined my dispute and sided with the vendor so I refused to pay the charge. Capital one added finance charges and interest and reported my delinquency to the credit agencies, Not only did it lower my credit score from the 800's to 695, but also lowered my credit score with all other cards as well. Oh! did I mention that the original charge was $44.00.
