Scam artists! They closed my account even though I never missed a payment and then reported to the bureau that I missed payments even though it also showed that my account was closed during those months. On top of that, even after my account was closed, they charged me interest on the closed account. Now I'm trying to get this all sorted out but I'm not hopeful.

I frequently have tried to make payments on my account and have had their website down or giving false information (over limit, late payment, etc.). Their website gives no way to contact them via email. At one point my information was entirely unavailable to me for no reason. Over the years with them I've come to believe that this confusion of their customers may be deliberate; the objective seems to be to trap their customers into "owing" more interest. They have limits on number of payments per month, the confusion and misinformation contribute to late payment unless an "express fee" (almost $10.00) is paid to ensure a payment is registered on time. Otherwise you may find that money you paid online might not be posted on time. I now believe this company goes right up to the line of illegality to manipulate their vulnerable subprime members. Be aware. Stay away from this company.

ZERO STARS! Credit One Bank and credit cards are an easy way to learn a hard lesson! They remove $75 off your credit limit for a fee right from the start. So your $300 limit automatically is $225. Their interest is unreal and if you are late, they tack on the late fees so you can't pay that in addition to what you already owed either. Don't default tho! They'll keep your account open for many months, reporting all this on your credit. Then they sell your account to a collection agency that reports on your credit too while C1B continues to report your debt to your report as well. C1B reports the balance increases each month (from an account that supposedly belongs to the collection agency), they report the accruing number of days that you're late and report negative remarks on the account that again, now belongs to the collection company that bought it.
Oh! After disputing all this, C1B finally remarks that the account is a charge off of a bad debt and then finally they say it's closed... All while still reporting the increases in the balance and accruing days late. Nice! Looks like more disputes to come! SO... if you're credit isn't great and they offer you a small amount of credit to rebuild or start your credit, don't fall for it! When something happens and you can't make your payment, it's the beginning of Credit One waging war against you! I'm still cleaning up their mess on my credit report and I don't know if my credit report will ever be correct. BE AWARE! BUILD YOUR CREDIT ANOTHER WAY! C1B preys on people with bad, little or no credit at all and you'll pay the price. Please read all the reviews here and other places.

At first I thought it was a good card but after paying all of my balances early I would get bills for interstate only. The last bill which was 35 days later was the last straw. It was for 1.93 interest for the prior month that I paid off early. What? So I called. They apologized and put a credit of 1.94 to cancel the interest out. I closed the card. What now I'm a penny over do you think I can get this closed out card to a zero balance. NO they don't care. So now what another yearly charge on a closed card because it's a penny over.

This bank is operating in the 1900 century, when this is the electronic era. This bank doesn't allow customers to make payments more than four (4) payments per month. This is the most outrageous policy I've ever heard from a credit card company. I went to make a payment today and this is what I got "We are unable to process your request. Please contact Customer Service at 1-877-825-3242. Message Notes 1/25/2020 Payment Limit: You have reached your payment limit. Four payments have been received within a 30-day period." This is unbelievable and I do not think this is even legal. No company can deny me the right to make a payment whenever I want.
I called and they said the same thing, then I asked the girl to cancel the credit card immediately and she transferred me to a different department where a guy answered and offered me a $10.00 discount for not canceling the card to which I did not accept. He said that Credit One Ban is not denying me the right to pay, that I can go and get a MoneyGram and email it to them. Have anyone heard such a request from a customer that wants to pay off the active balance on the credit card? Never heard this before. I just cancel the credit card and I do not want to hear or know anything more about this credit card company/bank. However, I will keep following up to be sure they did cancel the credit card and as soon as I am able to pay off the balance of $28.94 will request a cancellation letter stating that the card has been canceled by the cardholder, not by the Credit One Bank.

Card is always declined despite having it paid off and customer service is worthless. Shredding the card, don't waste your time or money on this high annual fee worthless trash card. Better off not having a card at all so you can avoid paying for a card you can never use.

My husband and I had a card with a $300 limit. The first thing Credit One did was charge the whole $75 annual fee up front, when over the phone we were told it would be split up over 12 months. Later down the road, my husband and I were divorced, we were to pay off the card and close the account. Before I could pay off the card online, it required a bank verification process before it would let us. Then after you confirm their debits/credits made to your account a few days later, we were able to pay it off online. Then when I tried to call back to close it, they had added a $19 user fee to the credit card account, and would not close it until that new fee was paid. Due to our divorce decree, this account needed to be closed permanently but the customer service rep kept refusing to do so. He wanted to give us a $50 credit towards the 19 charge, leave the card open with a $30 credit, which was not needed.
I had to ask this rep to close the account 4 or 5 times and to just credit their fraud fee of $19. He finally did close it after I had to yell at him. Not sure what is wrong with these people, but instead of helping you build up bad credit, they are totally taking advantage and should be an F with the Better Business Bureau. Our divorce decree said the card had to be closed---but they don't want you to pay it off ever, they just want to keep dinging you with charges.

Terrible system. Always asking you to verify to bank account. Don’t try to pay your account twice a month because they will make you verify it through your bank over and over. The customer service representatives don’t listen to what you’re saying and keep over talking you and telling you not to worry. Seriously don’t get this credit card. It’s not worth it. Will be paying this off and closing my account.

I would never recommend this company. I noticed a new card was opened on my credit report and tried to look into it. Upon calling, I realized you cannot reach a representative without giving them a card number, which I obviously don't have. I finally got someone on the phone after about 2 hours of messing with it. She barely spoke English, and made me confirm my identity using my SSN. Upon confirming my identity, the lady couldn't help me further. I then spoke to a supervisor, and then a manager, just trying to get a direct line number to call back and give to the police when I file a report. Apparently, they do not have a direct line. I guess you have to wait like that each time you have to call. They did not take this fraudulent activity seriously, and were not helpful at all. As far as credit goes, I feel like this company would probably only be good at making yours worse.

Since we didn't use the card, we tried to cancel the card. The operator said he spoke to the supervisor and would delete the fee and close the account. Did this several months in a row, and spoke to the operator stating they still didn't close the account. Then the operator would speak to the supervisor and was given the approval of closing the account and not having to pay the annual fee.
After several months we were getting monthly bills with a 0 balance. Then after a half year, our credit score declined because they posted a late fee of 350 dollars for over 120 days late. I filed for a dispute on the TransUnion and Equifax, but they sent back a note stating the fee was correct. But at the same time we received a check from credit one for the entire late fee. Once you get the card and don't want it, it's an uphill battle to cancel it, you'll end up speaking to an operator, then they will repeatedly state that they can't do that, but then they'll speak to a supervisor who supposedly closed the account, but in reality doesn't happen, and will be posted on your credit score.

I have had this credit card for over 15 years. I always paid online with a certain bank and account. I received a letter to have my bank send them verification that I am a signer on this account. The payment in question was for $75. The payment was paid by my bank. My account was frozen and until they receive the letter it will remain frozen and if not received in 30 days my account will be frozen and it will be reported to credit bureaus. I called as I was confused. I called my bank and the Bank President called concerned that this was a scam. The letter has been faxed. Here's hoping.

Approx 6 years ago I had my life destroyed via divorce, hence my credit. For 6 years I have not applied for any credit -period! Paid cash for everything. I got a membership with Experian, including credit monitoring. For 2 years I've had this service, and for several months they kept pushing Credit One to help rebuild my credit. I was very hesitant, but after their pre approval I allowed them to conduct a hard check of my credit. Then I received an approval code stating I was receiving their Platinum Visa Card with a 2,000.00 limit. Three weeks later I received a card with a 300.00 limit, minus their 75.00 fee? LOL! If I knew the credit limit would only be for 300.00, I would NOT have authorized a hard credit check! This is deceptive, borderline predatory! Now what choices do I have? The credit check was done, which is already a negative! If I do not activate and use their visa card that will appear as another negative against me!
I'm filing a complaint through the attorney general's office against Credit One Bank and Experian. In my opinion, this is a scam. A credit line of 300.00 will not help your credit score until you hit 2 years or so. Not to mention, if you apply for other credit that 300.00 limit will be the proverbial Albatross around your neck. What irritates me the most is the deception used. Luring you in with a Platinum Visa card with a pre approved 2,000.00 limit!!! Even if it were 1,000.00, okay. But 300.00? I NEVER WOULD HAVE APPLIED!

I went to pay a bill and found out my card had been maxed out. No alert. No notice. I contacted the company and they said they would have to launch an investigation and will take a minimum of 15 days. I knew that would ruin my credit score and asked to speak with a supervisor because the fraudulent charges were at a gas station 2,000 miles away while I was in possession of my card. The supervisor said it was evident it was fraud and it would be resolved before it was ever reported to the credit bureaus. It was reported to the bureau and because I have no other credit accounts my score dropped 70 pts!!!! I was livid. I contacted the credit bureau and they said they would take care of it.
Credit One had sent me a new card and in the process of activating it they said my account had been closed because it was reported as a fraudulent account. It would take me an hour to go over the details, but basically after even closing my account they issue me another card I never receive that they never tell me about until I complain about the additional 30 pts my account dropped because my account had now been closed. This has been a nightmare that I'm still trying to resolve. Their notes for me are all over the place. What any other bank would have resolved with one phone call has been ongoing for now four months and has affected even renting an apartment. Shame on Credit One.

I've been trying to repair my credit rating the last year some fraudulent charges old account. Anyway got this card to help me build credit and earn cash back. I had finally got my credit rating to where I could qualify for one with cash back. Well barely cash back. Still have to pay introductory yearly fee off the balance now so more debt minus any compensatory services of the said year when I got the card. I think I got a couple of if bills paid and a few groceries. I got gas once and I know I made my first minimum payment early.
I needed to know how long payment would take (longest one I had ever seen I think it's like 7 business days and the credit I guess doesn't go back in your card for another 12) because I had more cash back in mind and I tried out Amazon wardrobe for my kids. I needed a credit card to start. I figured I better pay down the balance to ensure the available credit was sufficient and made a bigger payment on it and I got an alert from my bank wanting verification and I had to contact fraud prevention and cancel the alert and it said I had to reapply the charge from the credit card account. I bet I spent a week trying to log back in before Credit One closed my account and I wasn't late on my payment. I was making a second payment and my bank put a hold on the transaction and Credit One closed my account and now I cant access any online payment methods.
I explained it all to some guy. I couldn't even understand half of what he was saying who was very unhelpful and I got the impression that he does this all the time. So I started looking for any other means of online payment services to deal with payments on the now closed account before the next month's payment is due but these guys don't seem to accept any and the guy on the phone who I really don't want to talk to again mentioned in thick accent the ten dollar fee for paying by phone and worst of all my credit rating which I had managed to get to 640 is now at 613. So in my experience with this company I would definitely caution anyone who is thinking about getting a card from them or believing they help with building credit. They might end up 0 for 2 just like me.

DO NOT RECOMMEND Credit One. I am so sorry I signed up for this card. After using it for two months, their Web Application would not accept online payments. After several failed attempts and and continuous contact with their Customer Support, gave up and closed the account immediately, in fear of it being reported as delinquent. They stated that they would send a final bill and I would pay by personal check via mail; which I happily agreed to seeing that their Web Application is oblivious flawed to some extent. Never received the final bill and now the bureaus reflect the account delinquent. **. This company does not have your best interests at heart. Avoid them like the plague, they will not help you rebuild credit they will destroy whatever remaining score you are left with.

I have always paid every month like clockwork. In February of 2019 I had multiple issues with this company. Charges that were supposed to be reversed and etc. I haven’t had a credit card with the company since June of 2019 and still I pay every month. I pay for a credit card that I have not been able to use and no real compensation has happened at all. Credit One Bank is definitely high in fees and there really hasn’t been an incentive for staying with this company. The customer service is terrible and I am constantly told one thing from one customer service rep. and something else from a supervisor. It’s been a really bad experience. I think whether you have good credit, bad credit, building credit or rebuilding credit, go with a different credit card company.

For those of you considering to open an account, please read ALL the reviews. You will see 2 or 3 good reviews, from people that really need a card and are so thankful someone like Credit One gave them a 300 credit line when no one else in the world would. But then scroll down and you will see hundreds of negative 1 star reviews, read them carefully because everything is absolutely true. So let's look at some math: 500 credit line you start with
-8.94 a month easement charge(privilege of using their card);
-18% to 25% interest rate compounded monthly;
-make a quick payment so you are not late at end of month $19.99.
By the time you even spend your fist charge, you are already in the hole for half of your initial credit limit. And forget about the customer service, it doesn't exist cause they don't speak English well. But please...read all the reviews, and make a brilliant decision, by American. P.s. They even charged me $365 for a hotel stay in another state that I never used...it's really comedic. I refused to pay and it's been on going for 6 months. Of course I closed the account. Now they are charging me other fees like late charges. I'm not paying!!!!

Be very wary of doing business with Credit One Bank. They do everything they can to ensure that you will be late on your payment in order to extract exorbitant fees. Fortunately, I paid my bill early, but just a few days before the bill would have been due they locked my online account. That makes paying the bill nearly impossible without--you guessed it--having to pay an exorbitant fee to express pay it via phone.
The online account lockout was completely bogus because I'd used the same device to both check the account and pay the bill previously. They claimed it was a "new device" and sent a text message with an authorization code. I received the code and duly entered it, only for it to fail three times. This was not rocket science on my end. I can read and type fairly accurately. When I called customer service as instructed on the screen I was told to wait 24 hours and try again! Really! As far as I'm concerned this was unfairly putting the burden on me to work with their system, which is either defective or purposefully made to make it harder for their customers to transact business with them. Therefore I'm going to sever my relationship with them ASAP, in order to avoid being scammed.

I have had two (2) separate cards with this company for several years. I never complained about the annual fee that turned into a monthly fee of $8.95 per month. I never complained about the $9.95 fee they charged just to make my payment ($9.95 per payment, and you better make that payment with your debit card. Because even if you made the payment with an EFT check online & paid the fee, you would have to wait a minimum of 7 days for the payment to post. I called this the payment MAFIA system!). But the final straw was...Black Friday, I paid off my card with the same payment method I have been using for years. I went to use my card last week, and my card was declined.
Today 12-09-19, I received a letter stating they "BLOCKED MY ACCOUNT" because they were "UNABLE TO VERIFY MY PAYMENT." The payment cleared my account at Bank of America on 12-02-19. I called them today to find out what the issue was and why they froze my account. I also mentioned that I have never had a returned payment or been late in all the time I have had the card. I also reminded them that they make me put in my social security number when I go to make my payment online, and I have to confirm my payment information three (3) separate times. They reiterated what the letter said. I told them I could do a screenshot of the payment and show them it was the same account I had used for years to make payments and that it was my account.
I also offered them a bank statement. They stated I would need a letter from Bank of America on letterhead that verifies the owner of the checking account matches the name on the credit card account and that the payment received was authorized by the owner. She also stated this document must include a name and phone number of a contact at the financial institution. Mind you; this is at Christmas time. Are you serious?! Nope don't think so. So I asked to close the card. She says she will need to get a supervisor to help me with that. After being on the phone with these fools for 24 minutes & 38 seconds, I ended the call. I will write a letter to them and file complaints and reviews anywhere and everywhere I can.
BTW - This is after trying to use my card while I was in Mexico last year, and they refused to authorize transactions even though I notified them I would be traveling there. I even called them from Mexico, and they still refused to let me use my card. I will never do business with these people again. I paid off my other card today, and once it shows a $0 balance, I will close both cards! Mind you; these cards have minimal Credit Limits of $1,850 & $1,150. I will just use my Amex or BOA Card or USAA Cards that have $5k to $16.5K credit limits. If you want to be treated like dirt, go ahead and use these fools!

I recently discovered (during a monthly review of my credit scores) that not only was I issued a card from this company with a $500 limit (Oct 27), the card had a balance of $519 (as of 12/6). Of course, I filed a dispute with all 3 bureaus and Credit One, but the really puzzling part is that all 3 bureaus list my credit as frozen (I froze it in August) and there are NO hard inquiries to my credit prior to being issued this card (which I never would have requested).
On a similar note, my wife does have a card through them, which has also been hacked. She froze it in August (same time as I froze my credit), but they have since reissued the card twice without authorization and her online account keeps getting changed (they tell her it is her that is making the changes - it is not). On that card, there are over $500 in cash advances (we have cash in savings and debit cards for easy access w/o fees), and as recently as Black Friday, over $1k in new charges at stores we never go to (Ross, Walmart). Again, this company is allowing this rampant theft to continue without any intervention or even giving us enough details to file a police report.

I started with Credit One approximately 2 years ago. If I could cancel these cards I would but it would hurt my credit more canceling these cards then just keeping a low balance. The start of my problems occurred when I deployed in back in April 2019. I had to mail in documents showing that I was deployed in order to lower my interest rate while I'm deployed. I had to do this because credit one doesn't have any email apparently. So customers cannot scan documents to this company. Anyways, I continued to mail in documents for the next couple of months and someone in their mail department kept either losing my mail or shredding it or threw it away. One time you can be okay with but 4 separate times is ridiculous.
I finally went home on emergency leave and had to hand walk my documents into their corporate building and complain about their mailroom. After these documents were received it took another 60 days for it to go into effect. After calling their customer service line which is, by the way, completely worthless because all they do is read from a paper because English is their second language, I was able to talk with account managers who kept telling me that they need to verify the information if military orders. I will tell you what. I also have a capital one card and I called them one day right before deploying and they verified everything over the phone right then and there that day and everything was handled extremely efficiently. If you want terrible customer service and when they transfer you to a manager, it sounds like the same person you just got done talking too. Then choose credit one. The worst credit card I have ever had.

I received offer from Credit One Bank and got approved for 2k limit and when my card came they charged me for the whole year annual fee in advance. I paid that off without complaining and every month I pay my balance min 10-15 days in advance, but every month I still see balance on my account. When I call back to support they won't be able to explain it at all.
The terrible part is my score went down and on TransUnion report I see that the card has been reported as "closed by customer" and my 2k limit is gone. As always I called support. They mentioned that there was an error and they will fix but until now it is still the same. Credit one bank is still reporting false information to Credit bureaus.

My only reason for applying for this card was to pay for work-related hotel expenses. They gave me a $200 cash advance without me asking for it, I returned it. I got a refund for a web site membership in July and had disputed the charge because I had received no response from the website's customer service despite several attempts to contact them. Paid the card off later that month and asked it to be closed. They informed me that I had lost the dispute and charged my card $160 on August 2nd without even telling me!!!
Started getting phone calls this week about $177.04 that I owe them apparently stemming from this $160 charge. They claim that since the dispute was denied, they charged my account the $160 because it was a temporary credit that was reversed. They never informed me that they were giving me a temporary credit, either via snail mail or posting it on my statement. The amount of this temporary credit, which was actually a credit issued by the WEB SITE that I had requested, isn't $160!!! The information they put on my statement for this charge is not truthful. They claimed the web site charged me the $160 when they actually charged me!! Spoke to customer service and he lied right to my face. I told him I have written proof that the $140 credit came from the merchant and not them. He told me to dispute the charge. I've filed a complaint with the Nevada Attorney General's office.

I applied for the card and was approved, after reading the terms I thought better and opted to not even activate the card, couple days later received my first bill. Lol got a bill before I even activated. Anyways called up to make sure my account was closed and the representatives couldn't speak plain clear English. They tried to up my credit line to keep me but I refused and asked to have my account closed again. He very quickly rambled something off in his broken English with an attitude, which I didn't understand, and as I was asking for verification that my account was closed he hung up on me.
Now I cant get back thru to anyone to make sure my account was properly closed. Now what?, Guess I wait and hope they actually closed the account. Terrible service for a terrible bank, these companies especially banks have no repercussions for their shady business practices, up to all of us to keep giving them the 1 star, although 1 star is actually being very generous. DO NOT GET SUCKED INTO THIS TRAP!

While I appreciate Credit One as a company willing to give credit to those with bad credit, a find it a MAJOR con that they downright harass you about late payments. I mixed up the dates on when payments were due on my cards and paid one a few days early, and was late on the other. I would have caught my mistake a few days later and paid it before it showed up on my credit history as late, but I wasn't given the chance. THE DAY AFTER my missed payment was due, I started receiving calls. I keep my phone's ringtone on while I sleep due to the nature of my work, and I received SEVEN phone calls between 8 am and 1pm ON THE SAME DAY.
I often work late nights and spend this time sleeping. When I saw the calls weren't from work, I continued to ignore them. Whoever was calling DID NOT LEAVE A MESSAGE so I assumed the 800 number was spam. Finally, I answered, furious and demanding as to who needed to get a hold of me so direly that they could not leave a message for me to call them back later, but instead insisted on blowing up my phone until I answered. It was a customer service representative who informed me that I was late on a payment and that I should pay immediately to avoid a derogatory mark on my credit score for a late payment. I informed the agent that I was trying to sleep for work and I'd look into it later when I woke up, but the woman INSISTED that I take the time to pay right then over the phone. I hung up on her.
And then I received another FOUR phone calls before the clock even hit 5 pm, all of them also without a voicemail. I eventually answered again, in a foul mood and demanding answers. When I figured out my mishap, I paid my $8 statement balance + a late fee. When I demanded to know why it was necessary to harass me about it with back to back phone calls and no voicemails, I received a non-explanation about how the company worries about the credit health of its customers.
The next month, it happened again. I nearly forgot to pay, but paid my credit card on the day it was due a little before midnight, and apparently it didn't register by 8am the next day in their system as payment pending. I was running errands after work when the phone calls started. I was so irritated to see that 800 number again that I ignored several calls (and - surprise - there were no voicemails from the caller). Eventually I answered and fought my case that I had sent in a payment the day before. The woman assured me that it wasn't in their system and did I have a confirmation number? I did, and gave it to her. She told me that the system may not have updated with it yet and that she would make a note for someone to check my account the next day and "reach out to me" if need be.
I honestly wonder if they harass people who make late payments JUST to give people more incentive to pay on time. It's not a tactic that I appreciate in the least. I've built up my credit since I first got this card, and I'm going to cancel it only because I cannot stand to be this harassed about a late payment. I try not to make a habit of paying my bills late, but when I do, I do not want to be hounded like this. I'd rather they just slap me with a late fee and let me deal with the fallout.

Open a credit card with this company to help rebuild credit. I have made two payments online using checking account information and both were sent back. This is the Credit One's bank fault not my checking information. I went ahead the first time and paid fees involved with that payment being returned figuring that maybe I entered something wrong in the information so instead of using my checking account I deducted the first payment out of my savings and paid the fees however when I went to make the second payment using my checking account again it did not go through again.
I called the company and depending on who you speak with is what information you get. No one is concise. No one is on the same page. No one actually follows through with what they say they are going to do so now I am having to go to my bank and get a verification letter from them stating that the account information that I entered is actually and correct. I have to wait 7 to 10 days for my bank to issue this by mail then I have to email credit one this verification letter and then once they have verified that this account the representative I spoke with this morning said that it would take 7 to 10 business days on their end to process it in the Interim on my credit report.
They have now closed the account so it is negatively impacting my credit!!! Be very leery of this company when doing business. They never do what they say they’re going to do and whenever it is their problem they do not take responsibility for it. I will get this card back open, Pay it off and then close out the account. You cannot trust a company that does business like this.

I have always paid Credit One Bank on time, out of the SAME checking account, although I always paid by debit card. I made an Express pymt. a couple weekends ago, but for the first time noticed the option was there for a direct payment out of my checking account (like PayPal offers), so that's how I paid. BIG MISTAKE. Though the payment WAS in fact deducted FROM my checking account WITH NO PROBLEM, my card was suspended until I provided THEM with a letter from my bank confirming that it IS in fact my checking account!!!
I could not believe they were harassing me in this manner. So two days ago I faxed them my bank statement proving I am the owner of the checking account out of which they were in fact PAID, and was LIED TO that it would take just 48 hours to unlock my card. I called today (2 days later) to find out the progress of unlocking my card, and NOW am told it will take 7-10 BUSINESS days! This organization is a JOKE. They GOT the payment--my bank would never have CLEARED IT if it weren't MY ACCOUNT; they've gotten one of my bank statements, and now they're going to diddle around for a couple weeks before they remove the suspension!!!

I signed up and got a credit card from Credit One Bank. I’m having some issues with my credit and I was looking for ways to improve my credit score. They approved a credit card for me at A maximum amount of $300 however they do take $75 of that money right away so you’re basically only getting $225 credit line. I used the card because I was out of work due to no fault of my own for a short period of time. My first payment was due and I believe it was $25 that was the minimum balance. I didn’t have too much in my account so I paid $30 on the Credit One app. It showed that I paid the $30 on the app for several days. After realizing that the money was still in my account I went to the app and I was locked out and it said to call customer service which I did.
They said that my bank or the card that I used which is through my job denied the payment. Now I’ve paid bills, I’ve made purchases, I’ve taken money out with the ATM with this card and never had a problem until this Credit One issue. I ended up calling back the next day and the next person told me that I put a stop payment on the $30 that I paid. Why would I make a payment a couple days before it was due and then put a stop payment on it? It doesn’t make any sense and it never happened. I’ve spoke to several customer service representatives from this company and there was one man that said he was going to deal with this issue himself from now on however I never got his name that was my mistake.
I decided to pay a substantial Amount on what I owed Credit One because I wanted to show all payments in good standing and pay most of it down. After I made that payment and was waiting for the statement to come in the mail so that I could prove to them that I didn’t put a stop payment on the $30 payment and the bank never denied it either. I found out not only was I blocked out of the app but they shut my card off as well. I feel like they basically lent me $225 for a $75 fee and now I can no longer use the card and it has made my credit score go down substantially.
However I am still working with them and we will see the outcome but from what I have concluded after speaking with several customer service reps and explaining the situation it doesn’t seem as though they’re going to turn my card back on. The whole thing feels like a scam to me. I mean it’s one thing to charge a $75 fee because it’s usually people that have low or no credit that they give this card to but it’s totally different when you pay it before it’s due and they say that it’s the bank's fault or my fault when it is neither and I have proof of that which I am sending them. I doubt it will get me anywhere but the whole point of this was to help my credit score not to make it go down so in the future I know not to use these cards.
I can recommend that the Chime card which is just a prepaid card. It is not a credit card but it does not charge fees and if you go to certain ATMs it doesn’t even charge you an ATM fee and you can go right to local stores in your area And load money onto it for a fee usually under $5. At this point I would certainly rather use a prepaid card then be ripped off by a company that didn’t even give me a chance. The $30 was the first payment and then I basically paid almost all of it off but yet they still shut my card off and I highly doubt they’re going to turn it back on. Use your own judgment on which card you decide to apply for or use because even though it’s a legitimate card doesn’t mean they don’t do shady things. And maybe it wasn’t anything shady.
It may have just been something to do with paying the $30 online on their app. I was looking through and I see that there has been several problems with their app recently that it wasn’t working so maybe that’s what happened and I will bring that up to them but as of right now I would highly not recommend this card for anyone whether you have low or no credit. It’s not worth it because my credit score went down a lot And maybe it wasn’t anything shady.

I have a Capital One credit card and this would never happen with them. I have had several Capital One credit cards in the past and now and I’ve never ran into a problem with them at all and certainly nothing like this where I’m getting a different story from each rep that I talk to. If I didn’t have to give them the one star I wouldn’t even of given them that. I hope they turn this around and do the right thing once I send them all of my proof but I don’t see that happening.

She stated she was then not able to help me without my full SS #! I asked to speak with a supervisor she put me on hold into utter oblivion because after 10 minutes no supervisor came on the line. Did she perhaps not want to get in trouble? I hung up and called back.
Talked to another rep who took care of the problem and asked me what happened. He put me with a supervisor who I must have interrupted polishing her broomstick because she was incredibly rude. She said she looked at the computer and said that rep said I gave no verification! I most certainly did. I gave it all and my last 4 but she falsified what really happened. The manager took her side. I have had the same problem with this rep before. I do think she's a scammer and I requested the recording of the conversation which the manager said it would take up to 30 days to retrieve.

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS CARD AND THESE PEOPLE! I hate to be so unprofessional with my review, but I am beyond pissed off with this company. It's what I deserve after reading such bad reviews on the company and card to begin with and going along with it anyway. I needed a secured card. At the time, I didn't qualify for a Capital One Secured Card which was recommended. So I went with this 3rd world, back alley, shady, company. NEVER do it. I applied for the card. Honestly everything was going great up until the end. There was fraud on my card -- it was from Amazon, someone had charged the card over $200. Obviously I immediately called them and informed them of this. The only good thing they've ever done was issue me a "temporary credit" of the lost amount (which took almost 3 weeks to put through) and gave me a new card.
Everything was as it should be before last week, when I go to pay my bill, my card is nearly $200 higher of a balance than it normally is. I call them immediately and they proceed to tell me that the investigation concluded and that they found no fraud. So not only did I have to call them to tell me that, but they're dumb enough to believe I attempted to max my card out on some amazon purchases. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I told them that I refuse to pay any balance until that investigation was put through again and my credit was issued back onto my account. The guy I was talking to -- again, severe language barrier -- ended up hanging up on me after I said that. Can you believe the nerve of these people? I ended up calling back and telling them to cancel out my card.
Case in point, don't go with these shady-as-hell, agrabah type companies. Stick with something more practical like a Chase credit card or if you need a secured card, go with a credible one like capital one. These guys are so awful. The desperation is not worth it.

DO NOT CHOOSE CREDIT ONE CREDIT CARDS!
2. Their Customer Service is fraudulent and incompetent. Their employees are trained to say "I'm sorry" to ANY complaint a customer makes, but no matter how valid that criticism, they do absolutely nothing to correct the original problem.
3. If you pay off your entire balance -- they STILL charge the customer the APR on any transactions that occurred after the last statement.
FOR EXAMPLE: Your billing cycle for the month ends on the 26th of every month. On the 27th, you see that your total balance for that month (after adding your monthly APR and your pro-rated monthly annual fee charges) is $125. On the 28th (two days after your billing cycle closed) you make a purchase for $25. On the 29th you send Credit One an electronic payment from your checking account Bill Pay system for $153 ($125 for all charges shown at end of billing cycle on the 26th PLUS the entire amount ($25) which you purchased on the 28th AND a small additional amount ($3) to make sure you zero-out your balance. That payment is electronic, so it is processed that very night and Credit One sees your payment (credit) on the 29th.
You call Credit One on the 30th and you CANCEL your credit card. Because your electronic payment on the 29th was immediately credited, Credit One sees that you do not owe them anything AND you actually have a $3 credit because you overpaid what you owed. Even though you have paid your ENTIRE balance and they have cancelled your credit card -- Credit One tells you that they will NOT immediately refund your overpayment of $3.00. Instead, Credit One continues to charge you their outrageously high APR. Why? Because of that $25 purchase you made on the 28th (2 days after your previous billing cycle ended).
Furthermore, if you call Credit One, their employee will tell you that Credit One will NOT send you any refund of money due to you for 30 days! Why? Because this is a DISHONEST company which gouges customers for every penny they can get. Notice that payments BY a customer are processed immediately BUT any credit for a customer overpayment is deliberately (as a matter of bank policy) delayed for 30 days.
Lastly, there is no such thing as "Customer Service" by Credit One Bank. Their automated system is designed to make it as difficult as possible for a customer to get any kind of direct human assistance. Furthermore, no matter how much information you give to their employees (including the info you must first input into your phone BEFORE you can even speak to a human being--assuming you figure out how to reach a human), they still ask for ALL that same information again. Their "Customer Service" reps are robotic idiots that NEVER engage common sense or good judgment.

This is what I was told: 1. No payment would be applied due to no acct number listed on certified check (check would then be put in a file for lost funds). 2. Yes, the pymt would be applied since I included the pay stub. 3. Customer service rep: asked "so you want to stop payment (where he got this, I do not know since I never said that. 4. No guarantee that pymt would be applied since I did not include acct # on certified check. 5. I was asked "when did you mail the payment?" My question was: not answered in any way and the representatives do not listen and talk over you. I literally am now confused and extremely upset! I cannot recommend this credit card company to anyone

I reported unauthorized use of my card in a timely manner & they still REFUSE to pay for the FRAUD, their lame excuse is it was used in the same geographical area. I told them I had 2 debit cards with unauthorized charges and they said fax them the proof of the other FRAUD as they have no email to send things to. I've been arguing with them since March and me refusing to pay for things I didn't charge has dragged my credit score down from a 625 to a 522. WORST CREDIT CARD EVER. A $300 card is now over 400 due to late fees and interest on charges I didn't make. WHO can I report their unethical behavior to??

First of all they outsource customer service overseas and every single rep I have talked to speaks broken English with a thick accent. You'll have to repeat yourself 5 times on every single question they ask you. They closed my card without me knowing and no valid reason could be given. Telling me the balance over the phone and will lock your login so you can't see it for yourself. They also refused to mail me my statement so I could see it for myself. Waste of time. Overall 1 star rating, I should have looked at the reviews first. The most shady company I have ever come across. Save yourself time and headache and get a secured credit card or try Capital One. Please, please don't get a card with these scammers.

Do not sign up with this company. I thought using them would help my credit, but instead knocked my score from 700 to low 600s due to late payments which is not true. They put a late payment and penalty on my account on a zero balance except for an 8$ annual fee paid monthly. That's how they get you. I thought I had a zero balance. They report to the bureaus as soon as you are a day late. This is the only account on my report that is showing late payments. Called them and they would not remedy so I closed the account after fighting with them and being transferred to multiple managers.

I have been a customer for about 3 years. Had never had a problem. Paid my bill every month on-line thru the app. I hadn’t used my card in a few months in a effort to pay the balance down. I new the expiration on the card was coming up and had received a letter about my new card and if I didn’t want a specialty card my new card would be coming in a few months. I didn’t think anything about it. I always go back on to make sure my payment was credited and noticed the available credit was $0. I thought that’s not right so I pulled out my card and saw that it had just expired. I called customer service to have the new card sent and was informed that the bank had closed the account. So I inquired as to why it would be closed. The representative told me that I hadn’t used the card in a couple of months and wasn’t paying enough over the minimum payment so they closed the account.
I ask them have I ever missed a payment, been late on a payment or gone over my limit his response was NO because I haven’t. So I said, "You are punishing me for making my payments on time for the last three years." I ask to speak to someone in the department that makes these decisions. He sent me to a supervisor who informed me that it is done by a computer. That they have too many customers to have people reviewing those things. So I ask the supervisor is there some type of negative report on my account. Again, "NO. You have never missed a payment, been late or over your limit but since the bank (computer) closed the account me can’t reopen it" and there’s no one to talk to about it. Do not do business with this company.

This will be the second payment I want to send in to Credit One, and suddenly they want to verify that my pay account is legit by making a few small deposits that will be available in the next few days. However, the bill is due in three, this procedure will make the payment late, so they can charge a fee. They also make sure that you are unable to set up Auto bill-pay through their website. This is a service they do not offer, because they want their customers to pay late, so they accrue late charges and fees. This is definitely a third rate predatory lender that purposely makes it impossible for their customers to reach out, and even pay their bill. All they want are the predatory fees. Stay away! There are far better Banks to use to re-establish one's credit.

I had someone hack my account by calling Credit One who allowed someone to change my address. Once they changed the address, they requested new cards and then made payments on my card and then used the cards. When I called to report the fraud, I had to verify my information and provide my security answers. When I asked why they did not verify security answers when someone is requesting an address change, they had not response. Now I am trying to make a payment on my account (which I have closed) and it is stating I have made too many payments this billing cycle and therefore, cannot make a payment.
I called and they stated I could go to Western Union to make a payment. This is the worst company that I have ever dealt with. Customer service cannot answer any questions or assist outside their scripts. If you are trying to rebuild your credit, there are many options out there.

He told me I had to write a letter (hard copy) and send it through US mail to start a dispute. How antiquated is this approach???
Then I tried to go online to CreditOne.com to see if I could dispute a charge there. Even though I have an online account set up I had to have a verification code emailed to me first. Because I typed the. verification code incorrectly (toggling back and forth between email and Safari) my account was temporarily suspended. Back to customer service through the fraud option again to speak to a real person to release my account. Told I had to wait 24 hours!!!

When my card was set up I entered my banking information to make payments. I found it rather ridiculous that there was no way to enter my debit card number because they DO take debit card as a form of payment. I must have made a typo with the routing number, that was my fault. However, when the payment didn't go through my card was closed. The card closed, problem solved, payment made and card reopened a full 2 weeks before I was even notified of the problem!
The card closing affected my credit score, knocking it down 30 points. Yes, I made a mistake when I added my banking information, but I got this card to improve my score, not so Credit One could make it worse! Even on my credit report it says I've never missed nor been late paying on this card, so just from that it looks like my card was randomly closed for no apparent reason. I worked very hard to get my score to where it was, now I have to do it all over again just because Credit One couldn't be bothered to notify me of the problem before taking drastic measures against me!

I applied to Credit One Bank last year, trying to build my credit. At the time it gave you a $300 credit limit and there no signs of the added fees to the card. I spent a good portion paying for groceries and helping getting my car fixed. Now as I mentioned, the credit limit is meant to be $300. What they don't inform you of is the $75 fee, just for making your first purchase. So at the end of the first month, I owed $325, because of the added fees and interest. I tried to contact Credit One to receive some answers. You soon find out that the "company" is a scam company where they and certain other "companies" will give you the opportunity to receive a card but charge you almost 150% in interest just for making that first purchase. They also charge you $99 a year, over the year.
I actually cancelled the card at the end of the first month. Did that stop the continuous amounts of charges? No it did not. The amount I owe now is $545 and this is while I'm only able to pay $25-$30 a month. I am also on Social Security Disability, so I can't afford anymore. I am also bombarded with non-stop calls as to when I can pay the amount off. The amount they charge is $100+ a month for a payment and since I can only pay $25-30 month, I'm given an extra fee and there is also a purchase charge. For what I have no idea. I don't know if I will ever get out of paying this scam. I would love to have a class action lawsuit against Credit One Bank. My credit score has dropped even further. Avoid this at all cost

I have credit around 650 and am working on raising it so getting a credit card. This company sent a letter saying I was preapproved for $2000. I got the card and it has a limit of $425 credit and $125 cash advance. They charge an annual fee up front of $75 on the first billing cycle plus $19 to add an extra card (for my daughter). I spent around $400. And went to check payment due date from the customer service number on the card. They said I owe $535.41. I checked online to view my statement for transaction history but it only showed the $94. No transaction history and didn't explain that charge either. The representative I talked to next from the customer service number said she didn't know why my transaction history wasn't showing up. That I needed to call the tech support on Monday. Closed weekends. I decided to call back and just pay since it's due on the 18th. Which is weird also since the billing cycle ends on the 22nd.
They have some weird stuff here I'm guessing as a way to charge extra fees if people think they need to pay on the end of the billing cycle, which I thought, until I called. When I went to call and pay by phone they only offer an express payment option at a cost of $9.00. I asked if I could just make a normal payment without the fee, and she just did a one time payment without fee. She also gave me actual useful information. Transaction history is listed in the overview section on the website. I am charged a DAILY average balance interest of 18%. I was going to pay before the due date to avoid interest charges, not gonna happen. Annual interest rate is an additional 26%. This card will help me gain credit. Not many other banks would have given me a card. However, I will be canceling as soon as my score goes up enough to get out of the extremely heavy fees they charge. It is ridiculous.

HIGH INTEREST RATES: I would not recommend this card. It was easy to get, but the interest rates and credit protection charges are high. So, it's really hard to get ahead if you're trying to pay down your balance. For instance, after 6 months of making just minimum payments, I only paid down $150 out of $1,500 total.
SLOW PAYMENT PROCESSING: There are two ways to make payments. The standard payments are free and will deduct from your checking account in about a day, but it will take up to 7 business days before it will become available to use on your card. There is an express option, but it costs $9.95. The upside is that you can also use a debit card to make a payment. The downside is that only $100 dollars of your payment will reflect immediately on your card's balance. You still have to wait up to 7 business days for anything above that amount to show up.
DECLINES LARGE PURCHASES: You might have issues making large purchases at your local retailer, even if the store is in the same city as your billing address. For instance, I went to make a $700 purchase at Walmart, which is only about a mile up the road from where I live. The card was declined, which was embarrassing enough, and when I called the customer service line, they said it was a security measure and that my funds would be released in the next 15 minutes. I didn't wait; I just used another form of payment. From that point forward, I only used my Credit One Bank card for small and insignificant purchases, because I wanted to avoid having my card suspended at a time when I might really need it.
POINTLESS ACCOUNT VERIFICATION: Occasionally, you will be asked to verify your bank account information before you can make any further online payments. This is very frustrating, because you have to wait up to 10 business days for the credit card company to make two small deposits into your checking account that you then must verify online before you can access the payment portal. I had been using the same checking account for over 4 years, and this happened after I made a payment twice in a 30 day time span.
I spoke to customer service, and they claimed this was a fraud protection measure for my "security," even though I have never experienced this with any other credit card. Usually, most reputable card companies don't discourage their customers from making online payments. Legitimate fraud protection measures are usually meant to protect people from fraudulent purchases, since most "bad guys" aren't going to waste their time paying your bills for you. So, I reject their reasoning in this particular case.
POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE: All of the phone agents I have spoken to have foreign accents, which may be frustrating for many U.S. based customers. I actually found them quite easy to understand, but the fact that you're talking to somebody who sounds like they're not in the United States may decrease your overall confidence in the card company and its employees. For instance, when I asked this person a question about the unnecessary bank account verification, it was clear to me that he was reading from a script and wasn't really interested in hearing why I was frustrated. The phone agent's constant interrupting to tell me that he "understood my concerns" was proof to me that he really didn't understand them at all. Ultimately, I don't spend on this card at all. I'm in the process of paying it off and then I will close the account for good. I will never get another card from this company, and I suggest that others do the same.

I contacted customer service and was informed that the information I provided to verify my banking information was not complete, even though they processed a payment with my account.

I explained that I am disabled and that I was unable to go through the runaround again since they already had all of the pertinent information and had used my bank account for a payment. I informed them that I was very unimpressed with the company practices and that I would inform the BBB of my displeasure.
So they put me on hold to talk to a supervisor. I talked to the supervisor and relayed the same information. They wanted me to talk to another supervisor and put me on hold again. Well I talked to the individual and repeated all of the information once again. That person gave me the same runaround and told me that they needed another letter from my bank for verification.

I would not recommend this card, there are other cards that are similar that I got and have no problems. Fairly easy process to get the card, and very useful to have a card to rebuild credit, but after using it for months and making payments, once I used my bank account to pay instead of their high-fee debit payment option, they froze my account and require a bank verification letter to prove I am authorized to make payments from my own bank account? Keep in mind there is no problem with my payments clearing, but for some reason they said they think another family member is making the payments?
That makes NO SENSE because I don't have family members, and the account is in my name, so who else would make the payments, ridiculous! 72 hours before they will answer me if they even received the fax, and then 7-10 business days to validate my letter before they will lift the suspension on my account? When I told my bank what this credit card company is asking for, they said it is shady because there was no problem with the payment from my own account.

They claim they never received it so again I sent a fax on the 3rd of July to them. They received the fax today about the issue yet spoke with a supervisor named Janet. She told me they do not cut refund checks yet 2 other supervisors said they would. I'm done with bank.

Anyone who has a Credit One bank account should note that when you make an express payment, you are charged a $9.95 fee. But, what you didn't know is that the bank then charges your account again the same amount. Credit One has not released a statement yet but all cardholders need to look at their statements immediately.

My account says automatic payment when I log in and look at past payments, yet I was told by the representative that they don't offer automatic payments. Now I am past due and get literally 10+ phone calls a day. I told the representative that the fact that they don't offer autopay makes it seem like they intentionally want consumers to be late. She had nothing on that one.

I made 2 payments in the same month and Credit One blocked my card. They forced me to go to my bank and provide a verification account letter. They are unscrupulous and provide poor services. They said the reason it was blocked was due to their anti-laundering policy. When I provided everything to them I told them I wanted to cancel my card. They said if I did not wait for the validation to complete they would put on my credit report that the account was closed by the bank. I have to now wait for validation to complete before I cancel. I would not recommend this company to anyone. They appear to be quite shady in their business dealings.

I went out to Credit One website to make a payment today. I then got an error message that I have made more than 4 payments and I cannot make another payment this month. I called and said I want to make a payment. After talking to a manager I was told to send it in via Western Union. I am paying this off (as soon as I am allowed to make a payment again) and closing the acct. Is it even legal to not accept a payment???

I’ve been with the company for a while now, trying to build my credit but there seems to be a problem every time I make a payment. I made a payment on 6/21 with a positive balance, the payment was taken off of my bank card on the 6/24 all to end up with a negative balance because a payment from May “did not clear.” This is a scam, save your money and get a credit card with your actual bank. You will spend ridiculous amounts of money trying to build credit, when there are better ways.

We got this card to build my husband's credit. They charge you an annual fee but they break it up into monthly payments so you'll never truly carry a zero balance. Not to mention they charge you interest on that fee. A couple months ago my husband lost his card and it was found and used at a local gas station. We disputed the charges, got our money back and all was good. Until we got our new cards in the mail. I activated them only to discover that our cards were used again at that same gas station for the same amount as the first fraudulent charge.
So here we go again, calling Credit One to get things resolved. They credited us back the charge and sent out new cards once again. But this time I never activated them. I left them in the envelope and put them in a desk drawer. Today I saw that those same charges from the gas station appeared again but twice! How could these fraudulent charges keep following us from card to card if the company supposedly took care of it? Bunch of bull. Can't wait to get rid of this card!

I have 2 cards thru this bank. Had no problem until I made a second payment on one this month, I thought that would be a good thing? But since I had already made one online, pay all my bills online. It said that I could not make another payment until I verify my checking acct. again? I thought this was strange but it gets much worse. So I entered the 2 small deposits they made in my acct. And it said my acct. was verified. Now I can make another payment so I did, it just so happened that I had some extra money this month and wanted to pay down some debt. So I made the 2nd payment. When I checked my checking acct. I saw that they took out 3 payments instead of 2. So I call them, always get the same man I can hardly understand and it seems like he's the only 1 who works there.
Anyway I told him the problem and he told me, "Sorry the payments have all posted, nothing I can do." So I called my bank and told them I made 2 payments and they could see that there were 3. I told them that I only made 2 payments so they said they would investigate and reversed the 3rd payment. Went to log into my visa acct and it's frozen, no access. Then get an email from Credit Karma that an acct had been closed. I called and tried to reason with this guy, told him I have a 2nd acct. that I'm locked out of and he had to get his supervisor who sounds just like him and had me do a 3-way call with my bank to verify the other acct and payment.
But that didn't cover both cards which I pay from the same checking acct. So they want a letter from my bank on their letter head saying the acct is mine and so many other things he wanted from me I couldn't keep up writing it all down. Gave me a fax # for the bank, I'm not ok with faxing that and it cost me $10 to get the letter. They also want me to write a letter explaining what happened even though I told him and his supervisor! Everything they put on my credit report was wrong, date closed, didn't show the 2 payments they got. I have every bill set to electronic delivery. I asked how am I suppose to see my acct, how much I owe due date. He insisted that I get a paper bill or I have for the last 2 months, false. They are harassing me with letters that they are going to ruin my credit all over making an extra payment!
I'm so upset and stressed out, I don't know what to do. I need help! This is awful to do to someone trying to better their credit. If I had the money I would get an attorney, this is a crime what they're doing to people! So I started looking over what statements I had downloaded wondering how these cards I haven't had long are maxed out! A $60 annual fee turned into $120. So who knows what all mistakes there are when they freeze your account but have actually closed it without notice and all for nothing. Had I known I would have never ever chose this card. I'm at a loss, I have no idea what to do. I'm just sick over this. Throwing away money I don't even have. Someone seriously needs to investigate this company and shut them down. There should be a big law suit for all they've done to innocent people.

The card has the worst online services, rate and fees for any card I've experienced. In the end, the card isn't worth the time. Discover and Capital One provide better options for new users looking to build credit.

They'll also have "unexpected" online site issues around the time your payment is due. In the end, you can call and get the fee credited off but they activate these quirks to take advantage of suckers who are looking to desperately build credit.

The rep I spoke to the first time said the reporting bureau put a mandate on them to bill the annual fees monthly. I called TransUnion and Equifax (the bureau they report to) and I was told they don't impose these type of rules on the credit card companies. I called them back and demanded a better explanation. The second rep told me it's because they are trying to create an activity for me, so they have something to report to the credit report bureau every month in case I have a zero bal. (I want that zero bal!) I asked if that can be changed and if I have an option not to have my annual fees billed in installment all year long. He put his supervisor on the phone and she told me the same thing.
She said it's because they are a credit building company. I'm submitting a complaint because the whole system needs to change. They need to give consumer options of 'building credit' by paying the annual fee in installment. Not mandate it on everybody. It makes managing your credit card when they insist on managing it for you. Also, they charge you to increase your limit.

Not only do they misappropriate your payments to accounts not currently open in your name, but they allow fraudulent charges to your account with no help to remove them. They charge you interest on top of those fraudulent charges, and even block access to your account. When you write to file a complaint, you are forced to do it on their social media sites, since they do not respond to any email correspondence. When you voice your opinion online, they block your comments. Their reviews speak for themselves.

I have spoken with representatives regarding the calls and they are still calling continuously. I have NEVER been harassed by a company before in my life until now. Now due to the harassing calls I'm considering closing my account with this company.

I was really in the negative comments on this site about Credit One, but I have to say I have never had any issues with that and I’ve been with them for about two years. People have to realize they are a small company and although I don’t necessarily agree with some of their fees they have to charge these fees for the company to grow they are not some huge company like Capital One or Chase. One thing people need to realize is they give credit cards to people with bad credit like myself. After my divorce my credit was ruined and nobody would give me a credit card except Credit One.
My only issue is every time I have called customer service it is someone with a heavy accent that I have a hard time understanding but they’ve always been able to handle my problem. They raise my credit limit out once and did not charge me for the increase. It’s only $450 but I came into this card with really really bad credit. Yes they are expensive yes they charge high interest but all this is explained in their terms and conditions. I love how people accept these terms then start blasting the company or year later like it’s the company‘s fault if you don’t like the term’s donuts up the card if you didn’t read the terms that’s your own fault. I’m happy with Credit One.

Applied for the card on 3/19/2019, as of 4/9/2019, I still have NOT received the card. Spoke with over 10 representatives that assured the card was sent or that they rectified the problem. My terms and conditions state that I should expect a $39 annual fee for the card, which today I was told is actually $70. It's really disheartening how corporations such as this lack of integrity in the way they handle business, particularly with those building or rebuilding credit. It's becoming more common that these enterprises are exploiting those who are trying to get things right or back on track, for their corporate gain, and unfortunately, the government is in support, as they are LEGALLY allowed to include clauses that waive your right to arbitration. The FBI should be investigating companies like THIS, on a regular basis.

They have a similar logo to Capital One and that's the company I thought I originally applied with. That stupidity is on me. I requested and confirmed the closing of this account on March 25th. I received email that account is closed on March 26th. On April 7th I get an email from this company that they made 2 small deposits into my bank account and I need to contact my bank then verify it with Credit One. This is why I closed my account. I told them they can't access my account when I did not request automatic payment option. So now I have to close my bank account and get a new number because of these idiots. I'm reporting them to my states Attorney General office but they probably will not do anything, but they should.
They are a predator lender. The day I closed my account, Me speaking, "I need to pay off my balance in full today and close my account." Customer Service Rep, "Okay, how much would you like to pay towards your balance today?" Me, "Are you kidding me, did you not hear what I just said?" Rep, "Okay. I will process it and give you confirmation number of closing authorization, also if you receive a statement with a balance after you pay off your account, ignore it." I can't make this up people. This is what I walked into. They never will leave you alone. They are like the bank of the undead. Can they legally access a bank account without authorization after you legally paid balance and full and legally closed account? Have you ever heard of a credit card company putting small deposits into your bank account? It's crazy and I hope the feds shut these criminals down.

I have had 2 of the cards for around 3 years, paid my balance every month, never carried over a balance. Only twice have I had credit line increased and they charge you 24.99 to up your credit line app $250.00. I finally got tired of paying the monthly annual fee on 2 cards that I never use anyway and it took me an hour and 4 transfers before I actually was able to close both the cards. They do not take no for an answer, they will transfer you around, make you wait app 15 mins each time and I guess they hope you will just hang up. This company is nothing more than a scam, the owners should be in prison. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE.

Credit One Bank is an awful credit card, annual fee billed monthly, customer service is horrible, numerous calls (and no my payments weren't late) and they actually give you a hard time when you want to pay your card off, and don't even think about making more than one payment a month, they will freeze your payment and make you verify your account all over again just so they can get the extra finance charges. Stay away!!

The balance that showed on my online account was over $300 below my limit, but my card was getting declined due to insufficient funds. When I logged in, it said my recent payment had posted the day before, but my available credit was still only $19. When I talked to the person on the phone she insisted on reading off every charge to me, as if I was going to add it all up in my head, and continued to insist that my payment hadn't posted. Then she said that even though it had posted, I still wasn't going to have it actually available until three days later.
I asked if the website had some different notation for the payment for when it ACTUALLY was cleared, since "posted" apparently doesn't mean it's been posted, and I didn't get a good answer. I canceled my card because there is absolutely no use to it if the online account doesn't accurately reflect the amounts. And why are they holding my money for 4 extra days, anyway??? No reason things can't be instant, without having to pay an extra fee.

I’ve been paying my card down and the interest rate is so high that even though I am paying more than the minimum amount it doesn’t make a dent. Every question you ask about some type of help “I’m sorry we can’t, I’m sorry we can’t.” Oh and “I understand but there’s no other options or ways to help you.” I regret the day I filled out the application.

When I started to rebuild my credit, Credit One was the third card I applied and was approved for. They started me with a decent credit limit - for someone with very limited credit - of $500. After being with them a little over a year now, no missed or late payments, keeping a fairly high utilization rate, paying more than the minimum each month, and then paying it completely off with my taxes in one chunk and then leaving it be for the last month - I signed in today just to check on things, I was surprised to see 2 more offers than normal. Curious, I checked to see what they were and one was for a credit limit increase (which was approved immediately for another $200, raising my limit to $700) and the other was a pre-approved offer for a MasterCard because of my "good behaviour".
I was a little unsure at first, knowing it would be a hard pull (which actually hasn't shown up yet, but we're still less than 24 hours in) and I've worked really hard to get my credit to where it is now (started this credit repair journey around 550 or so and am now at 702 with 14 mixed accounts) I decided to take a chance and submitted my application... Within 30 seconds I was congratulated and approved for an $800 MasterCard! That's up a $1000, for a total of $1500 between both cards! (On a side note - I also got approved for a Discover It card with a $2500 limit - my biggest yet - just prior to this for a total of $4000 in less than 24 hours!) Overall I'm very satisfied with Credit One, and very grateful they took a chance on me when not many others would. So, Thank You Credit One! And to everyone else -YES, I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CARD - if you're serious about rebuilding your credit responsibly, Credit One can help you achieve that goal! :)

I have had this card for almost two years, no issues. I made a payment using their express payment using MY debit card that is in MY name to pay MY credit card bill that is also in MY name. They have now suspended my credit card because if the payment, marked it as fraud, and now I can't log in online or use my card. I have spoken with 3 representatives, two supervisors who told me they would "monitor" my account, and finally a "Manager" who said the same thing.
I faxed over my bank letterhead, proving the debit card I paid with is mine. Credit One told me it would take 3 days for them to sort through the faxes and find mine. Three days later, I called. They ask me to send it again. I have still not heard back and am told that it will take up to three weeks after they receive my fax to get in touch with my bank and verify my account.

I got this card to help rebuild my credit. I would only use it for small purchases mostly and pay it off every month. In April I was getting BOMBARDED by phone calls form an *$$ number and looked it up to see it was credit one Bank which was odd because I had paid my balance at the end of Feb. I log on to my account and noticed it says I am past due with a $12 balance ($6 of which is a late fee). Evidently they charge you interest EVEN if you pay your balance off AND that interest charge is not reflected in your online total until your next billing cycle. I made a purchase at the beginning of Jan for $400, they charged me $6 interest the middle of Jan but did not include it in my online balance until I paid what it said was my entire balance on Feb 22. Consequently they hit me with a late fee on the "unpaid" interest.
Most cards if you pay your balance in full you avoid paying interest. Not only is this NOT the case with these criminals BUT they have practices in place to INTENTIONALLY make it impossible to know what your balance actually is leading to excessive fees. I also found out they DO charge an annual fee the second year on of $99 even though when I signed up it said "no annual fee". I closed my account immediately, do not apply here unless you are very desperate.

Do not apply for this credit card. They increased my credit limit twice because I was paying on time and I just found out that they charged me $24.95 each time they raised my limit. I NEVER asked them to raise my limit. You can't contact an actual person in customer service and the only way to dispute a charge is to send them mail at some PO box in Vegas. STAY AWAY!!!!
