When I first got the card I thought it was a decent deal, even after knowing the interest rates were pretty high. My goal was to have an unsecured card on my credit report in good standing as I had went through a difficult divorce. I paid my card on time with no problem every month. My dad passed away on December 20th last year and I was the one taking care of him. They don't have auto-pay, so I'm required to either send in a check monthly or go online to pay. The payment was due December 22, two days after my dad's death. I paid the bill the following month after losing my dad. I explained my circumstances, even offered to supply a copy of the death certificate and guardianship paperwork that I had but instead of remembering my perfect payment record since I've had the card (over a year), they added a 30 day late to my account and will not remove it.
Due to the high interest rate, I paid the account off to a zero balance and I found out that 7 days later that they were charging my annual fee monthly after charging it upfront the first time. On top of this, they charge interest based on your average daily balance even if your current balance was zero. I asked if I could pay the annual fee upfront and they said no, they must bill monthly. I'm happy I checked online after I paid my balance to zero or I would have ended up with another 30 day late over $8.95. This company nickels and dimes you to death. If it wouldn't be such a negative hit to my credit report I'd close this card.

If you happen to see my review about Credit One Bank and are considering whether to become a customer, let me say emphatically DON'T DO IT and DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! Credit One Bank is a LOSER (WITH A CAPITAL L) credit card company. I happened to pay on my account ONCE two hours after the payment deadline. I was thus charged a $25 fee for this tardy action (two hours late on the same day as the payment, mind you). I called "Customer Service" and spoke with the Filipina who has the hard to understand Tagalog accented English, and who seems to be the only rep there is for the company. I asked her if the late payment fee could be waived due to my one time being late. She assented and said it would be removed as a "one time courtesy." O.K., fine and dandy, everything is peachy again.
I then notice immediately that I was mulcted a $5.99 interest charge. Was this because they removed my late payment fee? I would venture to say yes. I had to be punished somehow after the bait was switched. When I received the next billing statement, the vultures had also suddenly doubled my minimum payment as well, which has never been done before by any reputable creditor company that I am aware of. Do not be the naive fly that waltzes into the web of deceit spun by the usurers of Credit One Bank! They are real slick operators who ought to be shut out of business.

The credit score they have on their full website is NOT accurate or anywhere close to your true credit scores. As a matter of fact it's a hundred points less then all your credit bureaus are reporting! Called Credit One customer service to find out where they are getting there score or how, but no knows plus lies after lies. Their overseas customer service - it's ridiculous and a BIG joke! My advice... DON'T DO IT.

I had to find that there was a hidden annual fee. It is in the fine print. I only used this card for emergencies and to boost my credit so I kept a $0 balance. I called them to specifically ask for the date and amount of the annual fee. I marked this date on my calendar and paid it when it came due. All of a sudden the annual fee because a monthly fee. I ended up missing it and they charged me a late fee and my account was posted as 11 days late. (Not good.) Their customer service is 100% outside the United States. I was transferred 4 times before someone actually closed my account. DO NOT USE THIS BANK! THEY ARE WHAT IS WRONG WITH LENDING IN AMERICA!

I took out the Credit One card in order to build credit. Up until now I had not had a serious problem. I did not like their website from the beginning. You do not have an option to prepay on the date your payment is due. Once you do online to make a payment it will only accept payment the day you are entering your information. With that said, I went online to make my payment and my payment was refused. I was very close to my due date without much wiggle room. The same issue happened the previous month with my other account. The problem was solved on the phone and they "waived" the late fee. However, my payment was not considered late - strike one against my credit report. My payment was then magically accepted online. The company insisted the problem was with my banking institution. I did not believe them. Now comes another payment with my other account - same problem. They insist is was my bank.
I decided to overnight the payment because I would rather pay the overnight fee rather than give them the late fee. As of today I don't know if it was received since they are slow in posting but fast in charging fees. I had enough time to mail my payment on my other card. I went to the bank and there is no "hold" on my account. Which I already knew since there were no other problems with any of the accounts I pay online. The problem, if there is one, lies in Credit One and I firmly believe that this is some type of scam. I should also say this happened once with my mortgage payment - another dicey company. I tried to pay online and was told my account didn't even exist! Of course they got a late fee out of the deal and had the nerve to bill me for an additional 30 cents! Really?? So much for doing the right thing and paying on time with extra to boot.

I signed up with Credit One knowing that the experience would likely be a pain, but it was a necessary evil at the time. After having done so, I used the card and went to their website to make my first payment. I was dismayed to find that I could only pay on it with my bank account and that attempting to do "express pay" would cost a fee, even though it was the only method that would allow me to pay with my debit card. But I decided to stick it out and continue with them anyway, thinking perhaps that was the one issue I would come across.
I finally got to a good enough financial standpoint that I could pay off the card, and was excited to do so. Upon making the payment, however, their site informed me that I had made three payments on one bill, and apparently that's a huge no-no because they refused to recognize my bank account. I would have to re-verify it. Well, the money I had paid down to wipe away my balance with them was still hanging, and I called to make sure that it was still going to go through. I was told that it was, and later, once I checked on the account again, I found that it had a zero balance. That was good enough for me, so I decided to keep the card around in case I ever needed it, but haven't used it since I paid it off.
Fast forward to today, where I got a phone call from them. I didn't know who it was until I looked up the number. I checked the online account to see where I was at, and found a $48 balance that I had NOT put there! So I called to cancel the card, just done with the whole experience. I first got to someone who insisted I basically verify every single inch of my existence before he would even listen to me. Then he told me that he couldn't help me. So I was transferred to someone who also told me they were going to transfer me. The last person I spoke to, I could barely hear. I swear that she was on a cell phone somewhere, and I kept trying to understand her but finally, after her spiel about all the things they could do for me if I just wouldn't cancel my card, I told her, "Stop, I can't understand a single word you are saying. I don't even care about the balance that I didn't incur. I'll pay it, but I want my card cancelled now, today."
So she told me that they cancelled my card. I don't know if they actually did or not, but I wanted it out there, somewhere, that this happened so that I can fight it if they try to make me pay more. I've paid the balance that was on the card (the $48) just to have it over with, but if they try to hit me again with something, I want it recorded that I DID NOT DO IT and that my card was supposed to be cancelled. Still waiting on some kind of confirmation that they did it. Do not do business with Credit One, no matter how desperate you are!

Someone was able to steal my info from a business that I used my Credit One Bank card at. They charged 600$ onto my card. I called and reported the fraud on my card but they refused to credit me the money back to my account until the investigation was complete, so my credit score has been affected! Every credit card I have used they have credit me the money back in good faith but not Credit One! You're guilty until proven innocent, which is a huge insult to their customers. Secondly, not only did they not credit me the money back until the investigation is complete but they allowed these credit card thieves to surpass my credit limit which isn't high (600$) but they were able to charge up to 900$ which exceeded my credit limit by 300$! Never do business with these people! They are criminals just like the people who stole my credit card number and stole my money!

They're vultures that feed off people who are already financially impaired although my choice to get their card and to use it is mine alone so I'm not casting blame. I do want others to know the risks of dealing with Credit One; 1) Their customer service is rude and condescending, 2) Their fees seem to be outlandishly illegal. I highly recommend cutting up whatever they sent and RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!

I got this card to have an emergency back up and to build my credit a bit when it went down after a messy divorce. It helped build my credit, but its annual fee was terrible at 9 bucks a month. So I finally called to cancel it, and the annual fee had posted 3 days prior. The customer service rep told me that they will send me a letter confirming that it's closed, and they will wipe the fee off.
A month later I receive a collections call informing me that my annual fee was 18 days late, that they charged me another PLUS a late fee, PLUS wanted to charge me a $9.00 "convenience fee" for making the payment with their collections team over the phone. The manager was extremely rude, informed me that "there was nothing he could do for me" and only after I ended up yelling at him (which I never do, having worked in customer service previously) did he take off the late fee and the "convenience fee." Additionally, you have to pay for any credit increases, their credit tracker is very inaccurate, and in addition I hope you don't have an emergency when your bill is due, because you have to pay $15 for express payments online using a debit card. This card WILL help you raise your credit, but there are far better companies with far better cards and much better customer service.

I paid my account in full on April 15, 2016 to Jessie and to Barbie (both in India) and they assured me my account was paid in full and closed. I checked the automated service and was told I had a balance of $10.63 cents. I called back and was told I overpaid them and I would receive a refund check. I received 2 refund checks from Credit One, one for 1.28 cents and the other for 9.35 cents. I called back and was again told I owed nothing and the account was closed. Well guess what happened, I received a bill for $1.28 cents in the mail due on June 5, 2016.
Yes I called back and spoke to Peter and asked him WTF is going on since my account was closed in April (also in India). Got the runaround. No surprise. I requested to speak to someone in the US and was transferred to Darlene ID # ** and was assured that this was a mistake and she would take care of it. I'm no fool and I know what they are trying to do, if I don't pay the 1.28 cents they will add late fees and try to screw me out of more money. I will be contacting the BBB to file a complaint and my attorney.

I am currently on hold with Credit One. Have been for over an hour. Someone made 8 charges at a Walmart 300 miles from where I was using my card in Los Angeles. 8 charges. And this company didn't flag that as suspicious. Where's the security? The next day when I discovered the issue and called to report it, I was told that I would need to wait 90 days for an investigation. 90 days. While they determine that I can't be in two places at one time. Meanwhile, the charges remain, they keep reporting, credit utilization tanks, payment still due. When I called a week later to check status I was told that no investigation/report existed. Yeah, *eye roll*. So they open another. Another for me. A ‘first for them'.
Today I call back to check status. They are full of apologies for my inconvenience but aren't willing to do anything to alleviate any of it. Also, they issued another card, which I haven't received and is probably being used in New York. I honestly feel like they are trying to wear me down at this point. Their thinking seems to be along the lines of, “maybe she'll get over it.” “Maybe she'll just get tired.” “Maybe she'll pay.” NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Do not use this card if you can use one with another company. Capital One is good. They flag everything. Better safe than sorry. I'm really sorry right now. One star because I can't give none.

After much advertising about being the official card of NASCAR, I thought I would give them a try. I first read the reviews, and now they send me at least one pre approval a month. They sent me a card once with an 800 number to activate it. It hit the shredder along with anything else they send me. A rep from Credit One contacted me asking where my 75.00 payment was, I played stupid and asked "for what charge?" He said "to activate your card"... "What card?" I said. "We sent you a card." I don't have it, when was it activated? "Uhhhhhhh? It doesn't show here." So you want me to pay for what exactly? "The activation fee..." I ask... "on a card that I don't have that was never activated?" "We can send you another card. But make sure you activate it as soon as you get it..." I agreed to do that.
Credit One has sent me a total of 5 cards, all ended in the shredder. Each time a rep calls for the 75.00, I get a new card. That alone tells me how they conduct business. I have not read a single favorable review about Credit One. I have sent numerous emails to NASCAR executives stating they are ruining the brand. I have excellent credit, and I am a huge NASCAR fan, but I honestly expected better than that from their endorsement. Not the fan I once was. Thanks to all for the reviews, together we can look out for these predatory companies.

This company is as useless as it gets and my intent is to build a website to start garnishing documentation to file a class action lawsuit against them for illegal banking practices. I had an offer in the mail to use their product and decided to make use of their services as I was building my credit. I used them for the past 6 months, paying my bills on time and not focusing on the transactions on my account, assuming all transactions to be correct. I had an illegal charge go through my card on 5.13.2016 and called them to dispute the issue. I was told that they could not do anything to help and I wondered what kind of protection is offered to the consumers. I talked with an account supervisor (Jenny / id **) and an account manager (Desiree / id **). I regularly bank with Chase and Capital One and had never heard of anything so ludicrous. They could not help but asked me to send a letter to their Las Vegas office to start the proceedings.
Before putting my thoughts on paper, I spent time reviewing my statement for any discrepancies and this morning noted that I have been charged $4.22 monthly for credit protection which I did not authorize. I called Capital One again and was told that the charge had been levied by a sister company and they could not cancel it. My acceptance of the credit card came with a rider, the additional charge of credit protection which I did not authorize. I was transferred to another number but could not get a human to initiate the cancellation. How is it that the company that swore to protect me and help me build my credit is imposing unauthorized charges?
I asked them the reps at Credit One who regulated their bank and to whom could I escalate my issue. Anticipating that I would be told FDIC, I was referred to the BBB. When does BBB regulate banks? They are completely clueless, unethical and corrupt. This has to change. The journey starts with you, please do not suffer in silence. Leave me your story and let others learn from you. The consumer affairs website gave them a 1-star rating with 908 complaints - https://www.consumeraffairs.com/credit_cards/credit_one.html
Do not use them if you have a choice. My balance is small; I will pay it down and close the account after I have brought light to their unethical behavior. I am also posting the names of the sister banks here, beware!!

This card is okay for basic credit rebuilding, but as soon as you build it up transfer your balance to a more reputable company. I never had any major challenges using my card. The $75 opening fee is a little much, but typical for many credit card companies. What really kills them for me is their Customer Service, and exorbitant fees for online bill pay. Anytime you call Customer Service, you are connected to a call center somewhere overseas. The call center staff are rude and extremely difficult to understand, due to their very thick accents. My experience with them was not horrible, but they clearly make all their money on late fees, online payment fees, credit limit increase fees, fees, fees... You get the picture. It was an okay card that served its purpose. I have since paid my balance off, and will be closing this account though.

"Caveat Emptor". This is one of the worst bait and switch card issuers out there. Only use them if you are desperate and have tried everywhere else and have no place else to go. I have a 640 beacon score with no delinquencies and no charge-offs but a lot of debt. Unfortunately, I have a paid and released IRS Lien that drags down my score and prevents any auto-approvals from respected banks. I am trying to get it off my report. So, an ad for this company popped up while I was surfing the internet and I decided to apply. They make a lot of promises to entice you to apply, but they don't tell you that all the good things in their online pre-qualifying disclosure statement you still need great credit for. So after enticing me with the "Up to $1,500" credit line spiel, they approved me for a $300 line of credit, with a $75 annual fee that increases to $99 the 2nd year billed monthly.
The actual disclosure also indicates that they will start to calculate the interest when the charges post with no grace period. So, I declined the card and closed the window. The next day I get an email from them saying they had a better deal for me and the annual fee will only be $24.95 each year with Zero Enrollment and Over the Limit Fees and this card has a 1% cash back on gas purchases. Since I buy on average of $250 worth of gas a week it piqued my interest. They were still charging interest at posting date, but I decided to take the offer and keep the card and make small purchases and pay quickly to see if they would actually raise the limit as that would make the annual fee more tolerable. After all most credit cards have some type of annual fee and the 1% cash back would offset that fee as well as the small amount of accrued interest if I paid the card quickly.
When the card finally came in the mail that is when the nightmare started. I went online to activate the card and setup the account. Once I had access to the account I saw a current balance of $75. I then read the enclosed disclosure statement included with the card the Annual Fee was $75 the first year and $99 starting the second year billed monthly at $8.25. This was a total switch from what I was approved for. So I called the toll free number on the card and I got a call center that I think is located in the Philippines. I spoke to a person named Ann who spoke English pretty well, but with an accent that sounded Filipino and she kept mispronouncing my name and adding letters to it. I explained to her what was going on and she said that I was wrong and they did not have any programs with an annual fee less than $75.
I told her I had the approval email containing the full disclosure statement indicating the $24.95 fee and I could email it to her. She said it didn't matter because that fee didn't exist and I was wrong and did not read the information correctly. So, I asked for a supervisor. I got a woman named Delores who spoke with the same slight hint who also could not pronounce my name. My name is only six letter and two syllables and phonetically it is pronounced just like it is spelled. After repeating my name to her a few times I gave up trying. I explained the situation to her and she basically parroted the same thing Ann said.
So, I asked her to close the account in accordance with the disclosure statement. She said "what if I reduce the annual fee to $50?" I said "NO please just close the account." She then said "ok, ok I'll reduce the fee to $25 to make you happy." I said "will that be for every year?" and she said "no next year you will be billed $8.25 per month." I said "ok then. I will just probably close the account before the anniversary if you folks continue to try and charge me that fee." We parted ways. Later, I started thinking do I really want to go through that hassle in 12 months for a card with such a low limit and high interest. My credit will be better in 3 to 6 months once I get those forms to get that tax lien off. So, I Googled Credit One Bank and found a number for them in Las Vegas. I called the number and asked for customer serviced in the US.
Of course they said "no problem", but transferred me to a woman named Rose who spoke with a very slight accent I couldn't make out if it was Filipino or Indian it was so slight. However, at least she could pronounce my name correctly on the first go. I asked her to close the account. She said she would but first she wanted to know why. I explained to her what had transpired earlier and she of course parroted the same thing the other two women had said. I said "why won't you folks believe what I am reading on my computer screen and have printed for my records." She then said if I wanted to fax or mail my docs to her they would make a determination in 21 days and possibly adjust the fees, but she could not promise. I said "why can't I email them to you?", she said they don't have email. So, I said "please just close the account and be done with it."
She then offered to take $25 off if I would keep the card. I said "why would I take that when the other woman had taken $50 off and I still didn't want the card." So she said she would close the account and we parted ways. Later on that evening I went to the account online and sure enough it said it was closed and I printed a copy for my records. I went back to the website two more times and both times it was still closed. So I considered the issue resolved. The next day I received an email stating that my account had just been activated and was now ready for me to use. I am like "HUH" so I went online and sure enough the account had been reactivated for 05/10. The annual fee was $50 with the first payment due on 5/23. So I called back to Las Vegas and the lady who answered the phone said that she was going to transfer me to the US based customer service.
Surprise, surprise surprise I got Rose again. Who of course did not remember me even though we spent over an hour on the phone yesterday. She said she had talked to too many customers to remember me. I joked that's they must have a lot of upset customers. I told her about the email and that the account was back active. She replied that it was impossible and nothing should have generated an email and the account was closed. I said "well I have it here," and I read it to her and the info from the account screen which she said was closed. She refused to acknowledge anything. So, I asked her to take my username and password and access the account for herself. She said she wouldn't because the account didn't exist regardless of what I was looking at on my computer screen.
Finally after the two of us going back and forth she said she would send me a letter confirming the account was closed and I was not responsible for any charges. She said I should get it in 7 to 10 days. I am going to need that letter because I know this is not over. I can pretty much guarantee that this is going to show up as a delinquency on my credit report and I am going to have to jump through hoops to get it taken off. Steer clear of these people. They are dishonest, disrespectful and deceptive.

I have literally had the card for 3 days. I activated it, one week later I receive a statement in the mail. Mind you I have not even used the card once. My statement says 81.00 for "fee charges". How are you going to charge someone fees whom has not even had the card for a week. So I call the phone number on my statement and by no surprise at all you can't contact an actual human. They give you every other option to chose from but nothing about a human. My advice don't get the card. If you have it already cancel and get rid of it. By far THE WORST company I have ever used.

I called Credit One last week after being charged a late fee although my payment was made on the due date. Instead my call was rerouted to another company offering a special package. I kept declining the offer and asked me to transfer to someone that could help me with my situation. They would immediately hang up on me. I must have called back 5 - 6 times to get this resolved. Each time they would tell me about this offer and I would decline even though they would keep talking. Finally, I listened to the whole darn thing, thinking I would just get through this and can be transferred to the correct person. They said I could cancel it after 14 days. So here I am, 7 days later, trying to cancel and they keep hanging up on me.
First off, I tried calling the number they gave me but it was "no longer in service". So I called the regular Credit One number and I get rerouted to them again. The 2nd time I called, the lady tells me "Ok, it's cancelled" and immediately hangs up on me. No confirmation or anything. So I call back a 3rd time and speak with someone and they confirmed that it was cancelled. Not friendly AT ALL! I guess the only confirmation I will truly have is my next credit card statement. Besides this, I have to agree with everyone else on the enormous fees that we're being charged every month. I thought this was a good way to rebuild my credit but now I feel it's just a big fat scam. Don't get me wrong, it was nice to have the card when I needed it but the fees are outrageous! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS CARD!!!

So the first month was okay, paid my balance in full and even paid 2 charges that I had made and would be on my next statement because I realized that unlike legitimate credit card companies, Credit One starts charging interest the day the charge is posted. The second billing cycle, had 2 fraudulent charges, location was Hot Springs, AR. I stopped using that card and I sent a letter of dispute to the company. A week later, I checked my account online again and there were 3 more fraudulent charges, all from Hot Springs.
I called the phone number for them and the person on the other end could not speak English to any understandable degree. 30 minutes later, I think he understood that there were now 5 fraudulent charges on my account and to cancel the card. I sent in a letter of dispute for the other 3 fraudulent charges as well. So I check my account online yesterday and find an account transfer of $870.00. All of the fraudulent charges only add up to $614.78 and the legit charges I made had all been paid. So I wish I had checked on this company before accepting their card. It never occurred to me that the law would let a company operate like this. My little voice tells me it is going to be tough to get them out of my life.

I only give them one star because it is required. The worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I have been just trying to make a payment and I was hung up on three times! I was yelled at and spoken rudely too! I was told that twice I had insufficient and when trying to prove them wrong with my bank statements I was yelled at and hung up on. They completely locked me out of my account online and are now expecting me to pay an over the phone processing fee of $9 and some change for every payment! Cannot wait to close this account. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE.

Sure was easy to get the darn card and call then or ask for a line increase. However unauthorized charges without my prior approval those charges were put on my account. And I can't get a live person!!! There is no option to speak to a representative or dispute a charge. Phone disconnects. I've tried everything to get a live person on the line. Went online. Ugh hate this... enroll, try customer service online. Nope, you get questions and answers but you can't cancel the damn card or get a person to text and say, "Hey someone has charged to my account..." hello... I don't know what to do. I've spent two days of anxiety and can't get anyone on the phone to help me.

I am not even going to rate this company. After providing the name of my attorney TWO TO THREE times over the course of 2 weeks, and after filing a complaint with the BBB, I received a phone call from the "president" (Ms. **) of the company wanting, wait for it, THE NAME OF MY ATTORNEY so they could respond to the BBB complaint. Because, don't be shocked, my account was not updated when it should have been last week or the week before.
Whether you pay on time or not, late fees are charged to your account. They make up fees, due dates, and if a rep. does not understand your issue they hang up on you. Now, because I stopped making payment, it went on my credit report. There was point in making payments with these people. If I used my bill pay, it was wrong, and somehow, using THEIR WEBSITE for payments was not the way to go. I did that and was still charged late fees ON THE DAY THE PAYMENT WAS DUE. I contacted these people repeatedly for help and info regarding my account and was consistently given the wrong information. I explained I am also working with a wonderful credit card consolidation company. CREDIT ONE said NO to that; although Ms. **, who spoke to me like I was an idiot, told me they can provide a list of the companies they use.
DO NOT, DO NOT engage this company. They are the single worst company out there and they 100% take advantage of people looking to rebuild their credit through hidden fees and convenient late payments, etc. I am anticipate suing for the money back I paid in fees and also for the right to have this removed from my credit report. This company is stealing from people under the guise they are working with the consumer. Trust me, they don't.

My card was blocked while traveling overseas. Once back home they have blocked my card and did not send me the new card neither the statement. I paid the monthly fee through automatic banking. I did know I was behind 13 dollars. I called 4 times and I spoke to 3 different people from customer services overseas! I finally had an agreement and all of the sudden I got another phone call forcing me to pay over phone and provide my information. It is frustrated and unfair to be called and be bothered during the day at work. This is a horrible company that does not handle the services in the US. They share our information with other companies and customer service overseas. Do not trust on them.

My credit was already satisfactory. The lesson for me has definitely been learned with regards to really looking closely at the logo. Their logo is close enough to capital one that I was conned. Further, nowhere in the initial paperwork did I see anything that advised about an annual fee. If I had, I never would have applied. Again, already had good credit. The fees associated with this card are ridiculous, and the work to try and close this account is a nightmare!!! I can't believe their practices haven't been held accountable by the attorney general in NV already!!!

I would give a less star but you can't rate negative stars. This company is beyond horrible. I called in to cancel the card after realizing that I never used it and I got a better deal from Capital One as Barclay Card. The annual fee and the charge for a increase in credit for being a "good customer" (I never used the card, not once). Well upon "cancelling" the card they waived the annual fee. Long story card was never cancelled. I was charged the increase fee along with a late fee, so now I have in dispute right now a total of almost $75.00 in charges that I never asked for. As well as they hit my credit report for being late.
My latest experience with customer service resulted in me getting hung up on when I said what they were doing was wrong and how do they think they're right by doing this. Now I have hired an attorney for more than the charges but I'm sick of them getting away with crap like this. And it seems like I am not the only one this type of stuff is happening to.

I had this card for a little more than a year I believe and it was a terrible experience. For one, if you are late on a payment, they will call you like every 5 minutes every day until you make a payment, even when told not to. One month it was like 6 days BEFORE the payment was due and they called me like 8 times that day to try to get me to pay it early. WHY?!
Could barely understand the call center reps, very heavy Indian accent, and felt pretty certain they either couldn't understand me well, or were giving canned responses and ignoring my actual questions. VERY frustrating and very difficult to get them to get you a supervisor or manager. Paying your card you have 2 options: pay with a bank account and your money is not available until like 5 days later, or pay with a debit card and they charge you 10 dollars. They are charging you to repay your debt to them? Am I the only one that thinks that is completely mental?? That's like paying your friend back 10 bucks and he tells you that if you hand him the money it's an extra 5 dollars. HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?!
Here is the best part. Every time I tried to make a payment they tried to tell me I had to pay more, no matter what my balance was. I had one person tell me that I had to pay my balance down that day, though I told him I couldn't do it at that moment because I was driving on the highway and didn't feel safe taking out my card. You know what he did? HE TOLD ME TO PULL OVER TO MAKE THE PAYMENT! Are you kidding me? You can't leave me alone long enough for me to get where I am safe to pay a stupid bill?!?! Worst customer service experience of my life.

I relocated to the US and had no credit history. I applied for several cards and was only able to get approved for one. When I received a preapproval letter from Credit One I was so happy. I had done some research and had found that Capital One was a very good option for credit cards so I immediately accepted the offer and was approved. I received the card in the mail promptly, and to my surprise it was not a Capital One card, it was a Credit One. I looked at what I had done, and surely enough, I had been tricked in thinking that I was applying for a Capital One card. If you do a quick Google search of "Credit One vs Capital One logo" you will notice that Credit One is deliberately trying to pass as Capital One, but they are completely different products.
I was waived the annual fee and received a 300 dollar credit line, so I accepted the card. Thought I would use it only for gas, as they offered rewards. My first billing cycle was another surprise. That's when I realized they capitalize interests DAILY. That means that if you spend 20 dollars on day 1, and pay them on day 5, you already owe interests. This is completely different as most cards, where you can spend for a month, the cycle closes and then you still have several weeks to pay in full without paying interests. I was pissed.
I went to their webpage to pay the balance + interests in full and had another surprise. When you pay online, it may take them 4-10 business days to process payment! You can accelerate this process for roughly 10 dollars. That's when I finally realized how this company is 100% in the business of preying for clients who are desperate to get a card or rebuild credit. They will charge you fees for basically everything, and they will charge you interest every single day you owe them.
I decided then and there not to use the card anymore, just keep it open so it won't hurt my credit. A year has gone by and sure enough I forgot to cancel before they started charging me an annual fee (they charge it to you in monthly installments). I just called today their customer service number 1-877-825-3242 to cancel. Of course there is no option in their 1-7 menu to cancel, so I tried different options until a human answered the phone and asked to cancel. Of course they offered to waive the annual fee so I wouldn't cancel, I declined. They reminded me they report to the major credit bureaus, replied not interested, want to cancel. Finally they told me, "Ok, your account is cancelled". I said, "Is that all", the reply was "Yes". I asked for a confirmation email or confirmation number, they said "Sure, the confirmation number is 2016." "2016?" "Yes, 2016 uhm 05". "Got it, thank you!"
That is how I got to this page and I'm writing this review. I am sure they will not cancel my card and will have to call again and fight to get the annual fee for next month cancelled. Searching the web I found a tip mentioning I should send a letter letting them know I have asked to cancel my card, date, time, account info, and the so-called confirmation number, asking them to confirm that my account with them is closed. I assume this is to provide proof that I have requested a cancellation. I also assume this means it will probably be hard to get this card cancelled.
The company is not scamming anyone. It provides a card to people who cannot get a card elsewhere. The product they offer is incredibly expensive, but if you read, they disclose all that, so it's "legal". Even the logo they use is deemed "different enough" to not be deceptive... I guess they have a good team of lawyers. Needless to say, I do not recommend this card to anyone. There are other options nowhere near as expensive as this card to build credit.

I told him to let me speak to a Supervisor. I stayed on hold for about 10 minutes waiting. When someone did answer, he told me he had to connect me to the Credit Protection office. I agreed. I had no choice.
I again waited for another 10 minutes on hold. Here's the kicker. When I was connected to that office, they were not open!!! Why didn't the two reps tell me that? This is one sorry company to do business with. Their address is misleading.

If anyone is trying to rebuild their credit DO NOT try it with this credit card company. My car was stolen so someone committed fraud with my card in California. I live in FL. Now these people take all the information of what happened. They do not credit your account back right away. You have to wait till they finish an investigation before you see the money back into your account. But what upset me most of all was they upped my payments, and they knew that was not right.
Had to get a lawyer friend of mine to call and let them know that what they were doing was unlawful. Now I did get my payments back to what they were, but this card company will not refund the money back to the account until 30 to 60 days so I have a card I can not use, but I still make payments. So If you want to rebuild your credit go to another card company because these people do not have your back, you will pay dearly. And as soon as I pay this card off they can kiss my butt :). People please take time to shop around and find what's good and honest because these people are not trustworthy. I can't understand how they stay in business with the way they run the company.

Then I get a notice that says I have been a good little customer offering me a credit increase. Cool, the limit started at only $400 so a few hundred extra would be nice to have. They wanted to charge me for that too! Who charges for a credit increase they are offering me?
Then my year comes up and now my yearly fee INCREASES for being a good paying customer and they want to charge it monthly!

Then I check today and not only do I still have the monthly fee which I kinda expected until it was closed, I had interest charges as well. So I called again about the interest charges on a balance that I paid in full. That was the interest accrued before you paid it off, I was told! Hello...I selected pay the account in full, why is that not calculated and included like every other credit card I have ever had. No reason, just their policy, per May from the Philippines.

When I got the card it said I had a $400 credit line, along with an invoice of $75 to pay for the card! I was upset but figured I would just deal with it.

I hit no, then it was "do you want TMobile, then another and another and another type scam". I finally got someone on the phone after 20 min and was told I OVERPAID so it suspended my account. You can ONLY use the amount of credit limit they give you per month. I paid hundreds more than my credit line and that check cleared my bank last week, so instead of giving me the credit to use I have to wait it out until their NEXT billing cycle.
I honestly think this company is run by the mob. They charge you extra just to make a payment over the phone or online if you want it there in 2-3 days. It's crazy. I have had a lot of cards in the past and never have I seen such blatant scam tactics like this company uses, and FYI... this company has changed its name.

I had just received an email stating that I was approved for a card from Credit One Bank when something told me to check them out and I stumbled across this site. Wow! Imagine my surprise when I saw all the negative reviews! I quickly called the number from the top review and cancelled the card before they had a chance to send it out! But from what I've read I wouldn't be surprised if they were to send it anyway. I'll just cut the damn thing up. I want no part of these horror stories!!! Thanks so much for all your reviews. You all saved me from destroying my credit after working so hard to get my score up to at least 629. I was just approved for a Barclay MasterCard a couple days ago with a much higher credit limit anyway. Not sure I spelled that right but, it's got a high Apr but I pay on time so who cares.

I received this card end of October/early November 2015. Made my payments on time and even received a credit limit increase in February. That's when it all starts to go downhill. One day upon checking my account, I noticed a few charges I did not make nor authorize that were from out of state. I immediately called customer service to which I was told I didn't have to worry about them because they didn't go through. A few days after that, I received an email stating that I had successfully set up Apple pay on my account. I don't own an iPhone.
So I called cs again and spoke with a gentleman who proceeded to tell me I activated the service on my iPhone 6s. I told him that I don't even own an iPhone and asked why would I authorize a service on a phone I don't own? He then stated he removed the service. Maybe about a week or so after that I checked my account online and noticed my cl was only 60 cents. Not only that there was a large payment showing as pending that I didn't make or authorize.
After making three calls, I finally reached a person who seemed to understand my situation. It was determined that not only was the card compromised, they had an address in New Jersey listed on the account. I know no one in Jersey. The card I had was canceled and a new one was to be issued. This was around the end of February. I still have not received a card. When I am asked to verify my address, that address in Jersey still shows up in their system. As I have stated, I do not know anyone in Jersey. My card had not been out of my possession. They cannot or will not understand this. This past Thursday had been my third time requesting a new card, which also marks the week in which I started receiving calls from them requesting payment (I had a payment due 3/27), every 15-30 minutes for about 3 hours starting around 7:30 am.
They took a break Friday and started up again on Saturday and Sunday. I answered one of their calls this morning and told them I have no problem making a payment just that I won't be doing it until I receive my new card. I was transferred to another woman, who I guess they thought that she could convince me to pull out my debit card and make a payment. Seriously?! Why would I make a payment on an account that I don't have any information to?! She continued to say that each day I don't make a payment interest will be charged. I told her I'm willing to take that chance and restated I won't be making a payment until I get my new card.
Also was told I had been late paying twice in the time I had the account. How could that be? Paid online, where it stated if payment was received before certain time on the due date, it would post that day. Payments were made on due date, if not a few days before. They are just aggravating to deal with. If I knew a few months ago what I know now, I wouldn't have done business with them at all!

A loan shark will tell you up front what you will pay. These people are liars and deceitful thieves. They want to charge $20.00 for a $200.00 credit line increase (loan) and then charge interest on that every month. Also you can't schedule a payment early or make auto payments like I do with the other cards I have. This makes it easier for you to overlook your payment, thus creating a LATE CHARGE. You can make an "express payment" for a FEE (more thievery). Plus their logo should be banned from use and Capital One should sue them for copyright infringement.

Well back in Aug 2014 I accidentally made two payments to my Capital One credit card thinking I had made one of those payments to Credit One. The mistake was easy to make their symbols are nearing copyright infringement. Well when my account with them became past due 35 days I received a call from the folks in the Philippines informing me I was late. I gave them a o hell no! Well checking my records the gentleman on the phone was right. Well I then asked him as I was concerned they would report me as 30 days late on my credit report I asked him if I were to clear this up now would it not hit my credit report negatively. He told me if he cleared it up on the phone now the payment would go thru before it was reported as late to the credit card companies.
This was the one and only time I was late and it was an honest mistake. Well a month later I reviewed my credit report and sure enough they reported me as late. It dropped my credit score 65 points! I have spoken to their customer service, supervisors. All of which is a terrible experience. They lie to you, and are very scripted. They constantly hang up the phone on you and when you ask to speak to someone in America they flat out tell you no. I have sent three dispute letters to them with a copy of my report and the dispute in question. I have disputed this with all three credit bureaus with no success on getting this removed.

No more access to pay online and charged every time I pay over the phone.
Recently paid the card off since I am trying to get a home loan. Asked them to fax or email me a letter or statement of a zero balance. Was told that they will only fax over to the mortgage company. Got the fax number and called back. Then was told they do not fax but will mail it to me. I have been checking my mail daily and haven't received it.

In my case the credit protection, of which I never, never was consulted about or authorized it. It just appeared on my bill. They didn't argue about removing it, obviously, since it shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Then this annual membership. Another sneak in. I wasn't asked if I wanted to renew my membership. $8.50 by 12 months is $102 year. No thanks. I will not pay yearly memberships when there are many cards that have none. So between credit protection and membership fees that is over $200 years. I closed my account today, paid it off and that's it. My daughter also closed hers as well. My suggestion is if you need to rebuild your credit, go to Credit Karma and see what cards they suggest.

I was pre-approved with Credit One via mail. I continued on with the application and was giving a credit limit of $300. I made my payments on time and always doubled my min. payments. I made my payments via checking account and I decided I wanted to use another checking account. Updated my routing number and so I thought my account number (but I was off by one digit). I had made two payments and had no idea they had not been processed or gone through because of this little mistake I made. Tried shopping, card declined.
So I call Credit One to see what the issue is, we go over my routing and account number that's when we discover the mistake. Update my information over the phone with the representative (who sounds Indian) and I am told to wait 3-7 days before updating my account information online. Don't know why I would have to if I had just updated the information via phone with the representative.
A few hours later, a young woman calls (who sounds Chinese) to do a follow-up call with me and tells me that my account was temporarily suspended but the suspension was lifted. To check my account online in 7 days to make the correct routing and account changes. Today, it's been about 6 days, I log on to my account online to notice it's been suspended and call the 1877 number.
I call the number, tell them the background of the issue, what happened when I called days prior, that I was instructed the information had been updated, to make it was updated and correct on my behalf online... Any declined payments that were made in the future would result in the account being closed, but this ONE time it was forgiven because of the mistake. The two gentlemen I spoke to didn't seem to understand this. The first gentleman was nice and transferred me to his supervisor who sound a bit like him. I was told that there was nothing that could be done about it, my account was closed. I explained to the gentleman the "supervisor" that I had spoken to a young lady who followed up from my first call that the account suspension had been lifted.
He asked me why didn't I let her know about the payments then... I explained that it was a follow-up call, I was under the impression that she was already aware. SHE called me, to follow up. He went on to say that there wasn't anyone higher than him that I could speak to. The account will be listed as "Closed by Bank". My payments have never been late, have always been doubled! I shouldn't be penalized for a mistake. I let him know that my account number has a lot of 2's in the beginning. I left one off. I was not making these payments that failed with ill intentions, it was a simple mistake that I thought was corrected with the previous two phone calls. NOPE! Stay away! In fact, they've called me 4 times in the last 30 minutes since I've began typing this. Crazy, right?

They were a good company to restart your credit with. Let's face it; credit card companies who take such risks tend to be predatory for the privilege. We know that going in. But once your credit is established or re-established, it is a cumbersome card to own. One, the cost. You have to pay for the privilege of a credit line increase, even though it is ultimately to their benefit that you have it available to use. Secondly, if you pay your bills off every month and don't necessarily use the card frequently, you still incur a monthly fee, which cannot be paid annually. Translation? If you forget to log in because you know you haven't used the card and therefore have no payment to make, you not only get the monthly fee but a steep missed payment fee and/or a late fee. They won't call you on it for about three or four months and by then, you have yourself quite the bill. Normal cards don't operate this way.
Third, I am denied at points of sale routinely even if I have adequate credit available. Why? They have a random way of deeming whether or not that merchant is a "fraud" or "risk." It gets embarrassing. And online purchases? Forget about it. Fourth, if you do have a problem and need to speak with someone, if you are able to actually GET a person on the line or find them, it takes at least 48 hours to resolve even the simplest thing -- like approving a charge they denied randomly or using your card for travel. And fifth, yes, as hard as it is to find a customer service person, the last thing you want at that point in time is to deal with a person in India or the Philippines who reads you scripted answers to problems they don't understand.

So this time I paid them off and still don't trust them, so I will be checking with my bank to make sure they only get what they have coming cause they are THIEVES.

Wrong, they charge you interest first day. There is no way to easily cancel the card. For the new year, they do not tell you but they charge annual fee, now in installments in order to get interest every month. Now, they are offering credit line increase, but with a fee. In the meantime, trying to cancel account and keeping account current. I can't pay it because they are holding my access hostage unless I accept the offer to increase my credit.

Another said it was closed permanently. They said that the CU account was "not found" and that we needed a "letter of verification" from our CU. Even though we have since made payments from different sources, they still refuse to reopen the accounts until they receive the letter from our CU!
I recently talked to a "manager" who took our CU information. I know that they can call the CU themselves to verify our account, but they have refused.

Today, they called every hour, starting at around 7:30 am. My spouse told them that I was not home, yet they continued to call. I caught the last call they made (spouse said they had just called 10 minutes) and told them that I will no longer do business with them and to quit calling. So far, they have stopped calling.

TL;DR: Crazy restrictions on using the card (that I've never seen on another card), customer service ** with your account (when you can get one you understand). My card was regularly declined when traveling domestically or purchasing online. I called, chose English as my language, verified my identity, and got connected. The first customer service rep had an almost impenetrable Indian accent. I explained the situation, said that I suspected the fraud prevention criteria were too sensitive, and asked them to change it. He persisted in trying to get me to change my username / password credentials even though that wouldn't have any impact on the card performance. Finally I had to ask him to transfer me to a different rep because I was having trouble understanding him. I'm sure it was just as frustrating for him. He put me on hold for 10 minutes and I finally disconnected to call back.
My second call connected to another Indian with somewhat better English - I could understand her and she could understand me! She explained that when traveling or paying online with a website that was not US-based, they needed advance notice or the card would decline. She said I must call 48 hours in advance of the use, and the use would be unlocked for 24 hours (or during my itinerary if traveling). Obviously that's less than ideal from my perspective. I asked her to change it and she refused. At this point I must admit I was irritated. I asked her to create a travel exception for me, that I was traveling to Earth between today and January 1, 2100. She didn't get the joke and I ended up hanging up before she mistakenly did something weird with the account.
Well guess what happened?! My card declined the next day at a restaurant a few hundred yards from my home. When I called, they explained that the rep had placed a fraud block on the card because there was some strange activity. Note that I performed all of the necessary identity challenges, the caller ID showed the appropriate number from my account, etc. So the unprofessional response from the customer service was to put a vengeful block on my account. I'll definitely cancel the card. Why have a credit card you can't use online or in the next state over, which uses the worst possible outsourced customer service?

I have opened that account in an attempt of fixing my credit rating since I have poor credit. I thought it was one of the best and did not much mind all the fees I was being charged since I really wanted to upgrade my credit rating. My payment was initially due on the 7th of the month, and they even tell you that you have option to make changes and choose a new due date, which I did, not knowing that if you make that change, it goes into effect after 2 billing cycle. So anyways I chose the 20th as my new due date and the 18th of the month made that payment. I got charge for late fees and was blocked out of my account online. I really did not know what was going on and processed to make another payment on the 4th of March which did not go through.
However, I used a different account number to make my payment on the due date and when I called them, I was surprised to hear that my account was closed and even though I made a payment that went through, since the one I made before defaulted they had closed my account down and I needed a bank letter for them to reopen my account. How is that even possible? How is that supposed to be a credit card that should help me rebuild my credit if that is the way they process? I think it is doing me more wrong than right and I am very disappointed at their policy and rules.
I have had a First Premier credit card was a year now and despite all they have been working with me on rebuilding my credit back up. I miss a payment with them once and even had another payment returned by my bank for not having enough funds; what did First Premier bank did? Well send me a letter in the mail as well as an email to kindly remind me of my return payment and let me know that I needed to keep my account current. They did not take upon themselves to close down that account without informing me of my misfortune and wait for me to call them and find that out while trying to make a payment. If anybody get a offer letter in the mail from Credit One bank, I strongly suggest to think twice and know that if you ever miss a payment for whatever reason, they will kick you out of your online account and worst close your account without any prior notice. Beware, of them, they will arm more your credit than help you fix it. There is no second chance with them or even giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Just made this account to write this review. Would give them 0 stars if that was possible. I paid my balance off last month and haven't been using the card. They're like there was an interest added on it plus late fee. I'm like late fee and interest on what? 0 dollars? She's like "it doesn't show the accurate amount online. Cause whatever you paid didn't show the remaining 10 bucks and now there's a 10 bucks fee and interest on it..." So my balance is 20 bucks, she hands it to the next rep, she says "It's 21 bucks." I'm like "Ok where are you getting these numbers from?" And then she's like "9 dollars processing fee." So 30 bucks total.
I cussed them both out, told her to waive off the 9 bucks, paid the 21 bucks to never ever deal w/ their fraud ** company again. And it's funny 'cause they found my dad's number (cause I changed my number) and they keep calling him. Within those 30 mins of the phone call, he got 2 other calls from them. I'm sooo pissed, don't ever bank w/ them.

I would like to add my input to the reviews about Credit One Bank. As an introduction, I have been an account holder with them for nearly three years now. After reading a LOT of reviews here, I would like to say that my experience with them has generally been positive, with some cons, as is the case with most any company. I received a mailed solicitation to apply for the card. I'm not certain how anyone could mistake them for Capital One, if they are actually paying attention to anything in the letter. The name or logo is clearly displayed in about three different places, if memory serves. There is an accompanying paper that itemizes the fees associated with applying for their card. I had no surprises there.
I applied online, was accepted, and immediately set up the online services. I do EVERYTHING online as snail mail long ago became a dinosaur for me. I have since made payments to them nearly every week, online, and have only once had them ask for verification of a couple of small deposits to my checking account, so that they could verify that I was who I said I was. I did this without incident and my online access went on uninterrupted.
I find their website to be more than adequate when it comes to seeing what is going on with my account. I have made several purchases with this account, both via direct card swipe and online purchase from retailers, all without any problems. My payments are always credited on the day that they say they will be. Any fees associated with any activity on my account are always right there when the offer is made (credit line increases, second account, etc.). Yes, they always prompt you to try to upgrade your payment to Express, which has a fee associated with it, but I simply opt to make the standard payment each time.
The annual fee is deducted in monthly payments, which starts right from day one. If one pays attention to the account, there should be no problems. I log in at the very least weekly to see what is going on. A lot of the issues that I have read here could probably have been avoided if CLOSE attention had been paid to their accounts.
OK, folks, in plain language, this is a sub optimal way to obtain credit, offered by a company that specializes in lower than perfect credit scores. There are a lot of fees involved and those fees can be expensive, HOWEVER, bear in mind that this bank, as any other, takes a risk when offering credit, especially when that risk is taken on someone whose credit history is less than pristine.
Again, if one pays very close attention to their accounts, the only fees they should incur on a routine basis are the monthly premium to have the account as well as finance charges associated with the current balance. This is not unlike any other credit card issuer that offers credit to low credit score individuals. And those whose credit scores are better need to remember who they are looking to for credit. You will be subject to the same terms as their target customer. If you don't like that, simply don't apply. And as to the company being misleading, again, if close attention is paid to the original solicitation to apply, there is no mistaking the word CREDIT (not CAPITAL), as well as the disclosure of fees associated with the account. Any bank that has fees that expensive is not the only issuer out there for better credit scores. Shop around.
NOW... are there cons? Absolutely. This, however is not unlike any bank whatsoever. There are always cons, whether benign or glaring, no matter who the issuer is. Yes, their phone customer service leaves a LOT to be desired. The first line person you are speaking with will likely just very barely speak English and will talk over you while you try to explain anything. If you do happen to figure out the procedure to talk with someone in the States, they will also talk over you and offer little more than curt and borderline rude replies.
I look at it this way... the vast majority of large companies in the States outsource their customer service. This is simply a fact of life people. Do I feel that sort of practice robs jobs and opportunities from America? Absolutely I do, however this is the way things are done and there is nothing to be done about it, period. Accept it and move on. Also, try giving Dell Tech Support, Quicken Support, or Anthem Support a call, and see what you get for a first line response. It's not going to be much different than dealing with Credit One Bank. That's just the way it is. There is no ability to email them for customer service, which in and of itself really does baffle me since the workforce needed to handle electronic communication is significantly less than that required for personal phone assistance, but that is a choice the bank makes, regardless of how other issuers handle things.
The ability to use the card is somewhat more restricted than other issuers. (I ran into an issue while traveling with using the card at a remote gas terminal. Those will decline the card, however if you make your purchase at the counter, this will not happen... again, the bank's choice, in order to minimize the risk to them.) Yes, they charge very high fees for any service they provide, however as I said before, the majority of these fees can be avoided by simply paying close attention to your account activity.
What it boils down to, in my opinion, is that anyone applying for credit from Credit One Bank is applying to an institution that specializes in offering credit to those whose financial history is less than perfect. This much is obvious by just looking at what they charge just to have the card. Higher credit score issuers will have very few, and generally much cheaper fees, BUT are usually more difficult to obtain credit from for anyone with a markedly less than perfect credit history. I myself have had very little in the way of problems with them, but that is because I am excessively OCD with things financial and keep a close eye on things at all times. If you make your payments early and pay attention, things should be just fine.

A few weeks later, I was sent a credit card and it had a charge of $75 already on it. I called and spoke to customer service and told them I did not want the card... but they convinced me to take it if they would reduce the annual amount to $25 and extend my first payment to April 15. I got a call from them a few weeks later stating that my account was in arrears that I would have to pay $25 as late fee but it is still March. I called and got that waived but now I have received another call that stated that I am overdue. Do not trust this company. They engage in criminal activity.

It's your responsibility to make sure you pay your bills on time. They send you statements to help you but in the end, it's your job to keep track. I've never had a problem with Credit One. They're great as far as I'm concerned. If you can't keep up with your bills don't have a credit card and stop complaining about how banks are out to get everyone.

This is, btw, all being done online. They would not accept my payment. It said they needed ID verification because I was making a 3rd payment within 30 days. What? Now check this out. It said to verify my ID, they were going to make 2 small deposits into my checking account.
I then had to input the amount of said 2 deposits, into the proper fields on their app. Well, they never made the deposits. I checked thru my bank's automated system and even talked to a bank rep. Obviously, banks are coming up with new ways on how to screw over their own customers. I don't know enough words to convey how I feel on this. Please think hard before you deal with these people.

Customer service rep convinced me that since I paid the "one time fee" just to keep open and if not used then no balance. 2 week later a new card comes in the mail that I didn't ask for so I cut it up just as I did the first one. Received a call from their collections department indicating I had a balance of $50.38 and needed to pay today. I asked why a balance since I have no card to use. There was a replacement card fee charged to me and then a late fee and interest. NEVER did I ask for the replacement card and in fact destroyed it when it came in the mail.

Credit One Bank is the excellent route to go when attempting to build credit - or when no other bank will accept you due to poor or low credit scores. This company has actually helped me in so many ways that words merely can't explain. When I had first started using credit one, I had only $300 credit limit and I had to pay for not only an annual fee, with an high interest rate, but for every credit line increase I had gotten. But one good thing about this card is that the creditors treat you according to how you "respect" the card. Pay up consistently, on time and you are guaranteed a credit line increase twice a year - not once a year - as the other card companies do you - but twice and the increases go up as you continue to pay faithfully.
Now as I said earlier, I had initially paid for those increases, however as my credit scores boosted up & making regular on time payments with credit one - I currently do not pay a dime for those increases. Finally: The benefits are coming through - as we do right by the card. "Thank you Credit One for actually believing in me and looking at how I am treating the card". They move past your credit scores is the point - while other creditors may limit their observations to our scores without realizing that sometimes one's history with a credit account has not been updated to the credit bureau. Credit one goes past that and looks at how you are treating their cards. Great Move! I am impressed by their automatic credit line increases. It's worth the annual fee, just because you are promised the credit line increase.
The only downfall is that it takes time for your payment to hit the account on available credit. Also, you can't make a many payments to the account within a month as you can with other credit cards. Your payment to the account is limited. I personally do not use the card a lot because I have other ones I can use with a much higher credit limit due my credit scores improving. So the high interest rates on credit one is not hurting me any. I can do a balance transfer to this account and get it paid off much faster. The best advice for those who are struggling with the interest rate is to have a good enough credit score to ensure that other cards are in place to eliminate the fees you owe on credit one. Paying timely prevents the interest from going up.

I had this card for 1 year and I can't wait to get rid of it. I was blocked out of my account for nearly a month for trying to purchase train tickets in Europe (from an actual train company so they were completely legit). This is AFTER I notified them that I would be making purchases in Europe. I called them to find out what was happening. They not only put my card on hold, they literally blocked my access to it. You cannot email or chat with them. You have to call and speak to someone in India who is prompted to tell you the same thing each time you call. I honestly don't think they fully understood me because they never took action to rectify the situation. They simply said my account was being reviewed by a third party and that I was not allowed to contact the third party.
I was given the run-around not once, not twice, but 3 times. I was placed on "hold" numerous times (and disconnected a few times) and all at the same prompted moment so I assume they put you on hold as part of their routine. When asked to speak to the manager I was given someone who told me the same thing as the original rep and still did nothing, told me they could do nothing, and told me to wait for the review to be complete "for my protection". The final time I called, the "supervisor" hung up on me.
I will be paying this card off and canceling it as soon as I am able. This is not a quality company. Not to mention you have to pay a large fee just to get the card, then they give you a very low credit line ($200 in my case) which you can later increase with a hefty fee if you have paid your bill on time. Caveat emptor. Build your credit elsewhere.

Well as many, I am trying to rebuild my credit. Somehow I caught all the "good reviews" on this card stating people have build their credit back up with it (All bad credit due to missed payment. I have never owned a credit card before so this was my first). I could not get approved for any other credit lines such as Capital One so I went to Credit One as a last resort. I received the "Pre-Approved for $1500 credit line" and received my credit card with a $300 limit and $75 activation fee. At first I was like what the hell is this? But I figured it was my first credit card I would flow with it and learn the full process. It's been about 3 weeks using it and has been going fine. I keep my balance at $0 always paying it off.

They pretty much answer each question from a scripted line and provide no personal help AT ALL.

Then I get blind passed to a manager in India again who knows nothing then they give an "I can't transfer you to a American rep" then it's 48-hr call back time. Then a supposed manager from the US with such a thick accent from India I can't understand him, so I am positive because when asked if in the US he would never give "yes" an answer. I get too frustrated then he must have after I did some internet digging for any number at all in the US that was in US. Then I got there and was given 10 shades of shady etc. like it's archived etc. 3-5 days.
Then wait they say it was over the phone when I applied and all cards there have an annual membership fee. When on their own website it say 0$-99$ annual fee. I asked for her name etc. I multiple times had to impress in her mind part of my complaint is when I ask for a representative in US that India Vendors have to transfer me to the US representative. She gave the excuse "only if we're open here". I had been working to get a US representative since a little before ten AM PST they are on hour faster. So I was calling during the time frame that they were open. Then was given the excuse we had a meeting for then a pause 2 hours. She did actually call back the next day not having my written application copy, she then said it was over the phone.
Well when over the phone they have a special code with letters and numbers to type to accept you pre-approved so get that number and match it. Instead she insisted on all the fees I and my husband went over with a light magnifying glass and would not apply or accept fees to have a credit card that has annual fees. I finally asked for her manager because by now I had spent 1.5-2 hrs multiple times passed around like the party favor with no help. I explained that the company has probably spent more money than the annual fee with all the calls equipment and different representatives etc. that if she couldn't correct it and make it right then I need someone that can. She kept trying and talking over me etc. I wanted her manager so why discuss it with her when she already gave misinformation because not all accounts have an annual fee or be charged 19$ for an authorized user card for their spouse.
One more issue when they waived the 19 the year before because we were married and two "MEN!" The girl in customer service could not wrap her head around it! She gasped and then ask me to verify husband then at first said it couldn't be done etc. I explained to her yes it could be add women when they marry a man right. Well since I am primary you just add him the same section you would add a woman spouse to and fill it in. I even had to fax my marriage license etc. That is not prejudice it's just ignorance and lack of training. I say this because in our own county the court house reps had never did it before when we filed it and when I name change etc.
After all these things Lisa did ask me to hold I said "ok for her manager I was on hold" then poof click. She didn't call back and she didn't have her supervisor call me back either. Then today I received another call from a rep from India and a call which I answered and then she was from Las Vegas in the same office as Lisa. I explained about being hung up on by Lisa yesterday and she didn't call me back and I was on hold for her manager so process for good customer service would have called me back right away, make sure I didn't hang up and/or pass my number etc. info. off to her manager team to call me back. So I told the rep I do not want to start from scratch I wanted Lisa's Manager. She asked me to hold and I said "No!" Why should I spend more of my time have the manager call me back.

They hit my debit card for this months payment, an action I DID NOT AUTHORIZE... and for no reason. I was not nor have I ever been late with a payment. Bad Business Practices and you can never reach them to make a payment. Then they want to charge you a 10.00 fee for immediate payment even though you don't need it. For this reason I had already mailed my payment early... only to see that they had hit my bank account using my debit card... which I did NOT authorize!! Really BAD Business. :(

I've had this card for about 5 months now and just last week there were fraudulent charges on my card. I called the company right away to inform them, they told me they will cancel my card and send a new one as well as open an investigation into my account which he stated would take no longer than 90 days. I said "ok" and we hung up. A few days after the initial call I decided to call again to ask about how the investigation process works, as this is my first time being a victim of fraud. I needed peace of mind and just to know that they would be doing everything they can to make it right. I asked the lady what my balance was before all the fraudulent charges and she asked me if I had received my new card, when I told her "no", she just told me that I needed to wait until I get my card and activate it before she could tell me anything! That made no sense at all.
I then told her about my concern about the balance being over the limit being reported to the credit bureaus... Her response was, "don't worry about it. Once you activate your new card we can answer all your questions." This made no sense to me as I had already confirmed my identity with them and my questions were general questions. I asked to speak with a supervisor but she basically told me that the supervisor would not be able to answer my questions either. I asked her to explain why and all she could say was, "ma'am I understand your concern but I cannot answer your questions until you activate your new card." I again asked for a supervisor and then she hung up on me! I immediately called back and the agent who answered the phone passed me on to a supervisor right away. The supervisor answered all my questions with no problem.
I'm really concerned about the fraudulent charges on my account and how this company will work to resolve the issue. I don't feel like the representatives have any clue the seriousness of an account being compromised as they are not from the USA. Every time I asked about how they handle it with the credit bureaus, they didn't seem to have a clue. This is not how a customer should be treated when their account has been compromised. A company should have knowledgeable representatives who can speak English and are able to understand what is going on, especially in a situation like this. I'm stressed enough as it is from the fraudulent charges, they shouldn't add to that by providing customer service representatives that have no knowledge on this issue.

After having this account for several years, I had one returned payment (twice because they resubmitted the payment). As a result my account was suspended, meaning I could not log on to even view statements and charges, update my mailing address, really basic stuff. During this process, I was also relocating from GA to CA, so I did not clear it up right away. Anyway, this also happened to be the same month in which my card expired and was to be renewed.
Well, of course because of the aforementioned, they closed my account with no notice. I'm not really concerned about that. The balance is small and I have other CCards. But my issue is that even after bringing the account current they still will not unlock my account. This means I have to call in every month to make a payment, for which they try to charge me 10.00 to make. I cannot log in to verify payments have posted or that credits have been applied. I finally got tired of arguing and just told them to mail my statements. So now this will be the only credit bill statement I have sent to me through the mail. Never mind that our mail where I live often gets sent to neighbors and only God know where else.
I could go on and on with the poor foreign customer service, the lies, fees, etc. The card company was a joy when I first got it, but I don't know what happened. I have a neighbor who also has noticed the changes and has many of the same complaints about fees and such as many of the others on this site. This is why I am not upset they closed the card.

This is the worst card I have ever had!! It lasts me not even one month and it has impacted my credit very badly. They gave me a card with a credit limit of 500 and told me that they would charge a $25 membership for the first year. I made a payment online right after I got my card because I usually don't want to carry a balance and then I used the card at a grocery store and online in order to repay it with my debit card. Therefore, I made another payment with the same debit card I used for the first payment. Next thing I know was that I could not access my account online anymore!
When I called the bank, I got a very unpleasant lady asking me to send a letter from my bank conducive to verify my bank information and she asserted that it was the only way for me to access my account again or that I would have to pay the entire balance off. I asked her my balance and she had me pay even more than the credit limit they gave me, since she charged me almost $9 for an express payment. This was the worst customer service I have ever seen... They not even try to give you a solution or to find a way to solve an issue. It is just like you are not a customer and that they are the one doing you a favor. I had to pay more than $480 overnight!!!
The most insulting part was that I was able to pay off the entire balance with the same card that they denied twice and suspended my account for. It was just an affront! I mean just for $9... We can give you that money every month for free Credit One! In addition, I called 2 days later to check how I would receive a money that a store credited back on the card and a supervisor assured me that I would get it back on the card I used to pay them! I told them that I did not need a check because I had to go overseas the next week. Again, nothing, just lies... Another way to try to get money from customers or to get rid of customers. Moreover, he assured me that this would not affect my credit at all. I just checked my credit and this situation had me lost 13 points on my credit score...
They reported to the bureaus that the card has been "cancelled by the credit grantor." For a supervisor, this is just a shame and for me, it is just not fair at all! I carry 2 different American Express and 2 Debit cards from different banks but never had to deal with such a thing. So, I would never recommend this card.

I called and asked them to see that I have been a member for years with perfect on time payment and because they don't have automatic enrolled payment, could they please help me remove this from credit bureau? They said no and was firm and I had to cancel the card as they hurt my credit score more than they helped me. I enrolled in this card to build my credit score and they hurt me more than they helped me.

I had applied for the card on which I was making on time payments, until one month I overlooked and I got a phone call, "demanding payment". I explained and said sorry for delay and need a few days to complete the payment. I was interrupted and asked If I understood that I needed to make the payment immediately and proceeded to talk over me and then hung up the phone while I was talking. Needless to say I payoff the entire balance and close the account. Extremely unsatisfied the way they conduct business.

It is logged into my check register, no doubt about it. I check my bank balance daily through my bank's automated service. To my surprise I had an eight hundred debit to my account. I contacted my bank and inquired as to the source of this error. It was Credit One Bank. I had my bank credit the amount back to my account after I explain that it was an error. I contacted Credit One Bank and talked to customer service. They would not talk about the error and were resolute that I had written the check for 800.00.
They do not send the checks back through but do an automated request for funds from your bank. They have my check and my bank does not have an image of the check. The people that I talked with were foreign speaking and had me on hold for 20-30 minutes as they "researched my complaint". They closed my account, stated that payment of the account was subject to collection practices. They suck at customer service. Very unsatisfactory. It sounds scripted. I wanted to know how $80.00 had turned into $800.00 through their accounting error and why they would penalize me through a blatant error on their part. I will pay out the balance of my account.

I presently have 6 credit cards and I always pay on time and in full. After receiving my latest Credit One Bank bill I was shocked to see a late charge on the statement. I looked back over my bank records and didn't see a payment for the month of December 2015. The ONLY reason I wouldn't have paid is if I didn't receive a bill. I have a system with paying my bills and I don't throw bills away. I called customer service and finally got a hard-to-understand foreign voice on the phone. This person was anything but pleasant. She asked for verification of my account. She asked for my card number, 3-digit code, my name, my address, my birthday, my email address, my phone number, etc, etc. After honestly asking me '10' different verification questions I asked her why she had to ask me so many questions. Again, she was snappy and rude even before this hundred questions session began.
I told her that I did not receive a bill so how could I know the amount or date due. She essentially said it was my responsibility if I didn't receive a bill. Now I have a BIG scar on my credit report because of one account. My point is that it's easy for a credit card company to fail to send a bill so that they automatically get to charge $25.00 late fee. I am done with Credit One!! I was trying to rebuild my credit after my business failed and Credit One is a vulture waiting up in the trees. Also, I set up an online account for all my credit cards but Credit One is impossible to sign on. I KNOW the sign in name and password but they refused to allow me to sign in to check my account. This is also another way to set someone up for failure. Credit One only cares about making a big profit and not about the customer. Good Riddance!!

They eventually suspended it and closed my account. I only used my card maybe twice.

I was checking on the status of my credit card payment with Credit One Bank and I saw that even though I made the minimum payment required before the due date that I was still charged a $35 late fee. When I called the collections line the lady I spoke to was not able to read my statement as she told me that my credit card was over by $85 when in fact it was only over by 68.42 and that I had to pay $85 to make my account not overdue. And I told them and it clearly showed that the payment was made on time and for the minimum amount. I was then told "Oh no the payment that you made was put for the December payment that you didn't make". I informed the woman that I had indeed made my December payment and that their system did not allow me to look at any of my past statements or payments.
I was then transferred to a supervisor who told me the same thing that I owed $85 when the amount overdue clearly was not that and the minimum payment due at this time is $50. I feel that they are trying to scam people out of money and are not a reputable business as their employees are extremely disrespectful as the first gentleman who called me today when I told him I was waiting on an important phone call and could not talk but would call later abruptly told me no I needed to talk to him immediately and I told him I could not and he told me again that I had to so I hung up. There is no professional training at this company and not one person there that I have spoken was able to clearly communicate with me in English nor were they able to read my statement that was in front of them and communicate back to me.
At this point in time I feel as though no matter how many payments I make they are going to keep coming up with this crazy stories of how they process payments and how despite the fact that it clearly states that I made the payment on time I was STILL charged a late fee and told I have to pay $85 right away to make my bill current. I should have listened to some of the reviews from people who had this credit card when they said they were scam artists and would charge these ridiculous fees for no reason. However at the time I was without an income and they were the only one who would give me a card. I regret ever getting this card and will never recommend it to anyone in the future.
To top it all off you can't see any of your previous statements or payments so there is no way to prove that they actually took your payments!

I spoke to a supervisor to try to make payment arrangements, which I was informed they do not do. They look for the entire balance up front, have no programs available that will enable the creditor and customer to work together.
Today after explaining that I could make a payment the 5th of next month they magically were able to come up with a number that I can afford to pay on that date but said that offer is only available until next week. I tried to set something up where they can deduct a certain amount automatically for the next month, but they do not do that. They are a gross and typical representation of corporate banking. I requested to close the card and will not until my balance is paid in full. Never again would I give this company my business.

Opening the account costs money. There are many other secured credit companies that do the same thing as credit one for free. The late fees are high and the APR, late payment fee and maintenance fees are high. Please read the mailer before accepting the high fee card.

I applied for a Credit One card and was approved. It took over a month to receive the card and two days after I received the card, I received a statement, but hadn't even used the card at that point! Needless to say, I went ahead and decided to make a small purchase (under 40.00). I received another statement reflecting my purchase along with, what I was told, was my annual membership fee. I mailed off the full payment. For the past week I have been getting repeated phone calls from so called representatives saying that my payment was late, that I now have a late fee and practically demanding that I make a payment over the phone on the spot!!!
I totally regret applying for and getting this card! The people who call me from Credit One seem to enjoy harassing me, not to mention that I cannot understand a damn thing they say!!! Credit One has the rudest people and worst customer service that I have ever encountered! I am going to cancel this card asap and if they continue to harass me I will file an fca report and file a lawsuit for harassment! To anyone who is thinking about applying for this card... DON'T! You do much better with Capital One.
