    I'm so mad about this card. Me and My husband had for only 2 weeks, I use and I decide to pay off yesterday. Ok To make the express payment they charge you a fee (for you to have the credit available next day), so I pay the fee and this morning the available credit is not available! LIARS!!! I pay extra for nothing! I call customer service and the people are not from here, I couldn't understand the girl and she couldn't understand me, probably from India or other country. She told me the balance will not be available for 5 more days because I pay using my checking account. THEY STEAL FROM ME FOR THE EXPRESS PAYMENT and that's it! THE WORSE credit CARD EVER! Don't do it!!! I will wait for the credit be available and I'm calling them to cancel this card!

    So even when you pay off your balance (had a 0$ balance for 5 weeks) you still get interest fees from when you had a balance... How does that make any sense. Cancelled the card immediately and STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST DOING BUSINESS with the CALL CENTER OUT of the US that reads from a screen and is NO HELP at all...

    First of all is the same as the other's reviews, basically same problem so this is my nightmare. I got a credit line with this "bank" and been used for the last 5 months just 30% of my line of credit which always paid the full amount, a month and a half ago I replaced my Chase debit card because it was cracked in half, so when my Credit One Bank bill was about to be due I tried to pay online. Their system constantly was frozen and don't accept all the numbers I was putting in to. After the third attempt finally! It went through. I paid my full balance so after a month and a half I didn't use it until last week. I tried to use in Best Buy and declined, I called immediately Credit One Bank to find out why it was declined. I just wanted to know an explanation, customer service horrible. A person that don't know how to explain why! And barely speak English nor Spanish.

    Told me in broken English that the reason why it was declined is because I tried to pay with bad check which told him that I never tried to pay with a check before. At last I asked him what was my due balance he told me it was 65 cents and I just leave it like that because I don't want to deal with him anymore, yesterday I was called them back again to find out what's the status of my account. First person rude. Can't communicate and just hang out to me then I called back again.

    Another person that told me his name was Gustavo. Very bad broken Spanish basically same story, the only difference is that he told me the reason is because I made 3 attempts to pay with the same debit card and I explained to him that it was their system not me, and asked him what was my balance he said $23.96. Just in a week from 65 cents to $23.96 without use it, anyway I paid him the full amount just because I don't want any issue with my credit score. Hopefully I can get that account closed. I don't want to have any business with this people.

    I have an investigation on my account and was told that it had been resolved and that my refund would be mailed to me. Three weeks later I called to check on my refund and was told that it was just mailed out. When I asked to speak to a manager I was placed on hold for almost an hour. All of the representatives are from the Philippines so there were language barriers. This is the worst company ever!!!! I would not recommend this company to anyone.

    Credit One has a stringent policy with pending amounts, even in error. The issue was resolved and I look to maintain a lasting relationship with Credit One. Only thing missing was a nice or decent follow-up.

    Original Review: June 21, 2017

    I have been with Credit One for about 3 years. I have not had one issue with this card until I had a glitch purchase go through my account. I went through various reps who had me repeat my issue over and over. I am a very good client with practically a zero balance every month. This has never happened and I really felt as if I did not have the support of the bank to resolve an obvious mistake. Even the vendor was on the line attempting to help me resolve the issue. 3 hours later, I am still looking for a resolution. To make matters worse, my credit statement is about to clear with a large balance that may post and I cannot make a payment because it is in a pending status.

    This will be my first review for Credit One Bank. I will make another review once I have used the card more. First: I applied for a Credit One Bank credit card and was approved on 06/06/2017 for the Credit One Bank Platinum Visa. Right from the start it informed me if I chose a certain type of card design I would be charged a fee of $6.95. I was okay with that. So I chose my design and waited for my card to be sent. My card was shipped on 06/16/2017. Website stated it should be there by 06/26/2017. I received it by 06/19/2017. I think where the problem starts with certain people is they do not read. I said certain not all!

    When I received my card (that goes for all new customers to credit cards) it came with a grey paper that gives you the breakdown of the terms for your card. I HIGHLY SUGGEST EVERYONE READ THAT WORD FOR WORD BEFORE YOU ACTIVE THE CARD. The very first page informed me of my APR rate, the minimum interest charge, set-up maintenance fees, annual membership fee, late fee additional user fee, etc..

    One of the many complaints I have read was for the annual membership fee. That grey paper tells you when you active your card you will be charged the $75 (numbers can be different depending on your person agreement) annual fee right off the back. After the first year your annual fee will be $99 billed monthly for $8.25. You have a choice to reject this monthly charge after you receive your first billing statement only. If you have paid that $8.25 even one time you can no longer cancel. So if you were approved for a credit limit of $300, your annual fee of $75 will be deducted from that making your balance $225 for spending. In my case I got a card design for 6.95 (rounded up to 7) plus $75 for my available limit of $218.

    Second - Logging into Credit One Bank Website: When I received my card, I immediately signed up for an online log in. However, right after I created it I couldn't log in (not one time). So I called customer service (although they don't speak good English, I am use to this because I work in insurance so I could understand enough). I informed the representative I could not log in. He walked me through the Forgot username/password sets. I had to create a new login. Not sure why when I had just made the one I had. But it worked.

    Third - payment posting: Payment posting was another huge problem others commented on. Just browsing around the Credit One online portal I saw the standard payment (free of charge), it stated if I made a payment today 06/20/2017 my payment would post to my account by 06/27/2017. Although, that is extremely long at least it did inform me. The express payment ($9.95 charge), stated if I make the payment today 06/20/2017 my payment will post to my account by 06/21/2017. I have not tested this out yet to see if it actually will. That's why this says first review. I will make another review in a few months after I've received my first bill or two. This is just for the people THINKING about getting the card.

    This is the absolute WORST credit card company! Nobody speaks proper English, website is always having issues when making a payment, they charge a ridiculous annual fee, and the last straw was I made an early payment (before my billing cycle ends) and they tried to charge me a $35 late fee. If you are not diligent about checking your statements with a fine toothed comb, they will rob you. BEWARE! I needed this card 7 years ago when I was rebuilding my credit. I now have a 750 credit score, and am closing this account for good.

    I am sick and tired of Credit One. I received their card one year ago. I have always paid on time and for the most part more than what was asked of me. I have countless times asked for a credit increase. My initial credit was $400 and this is after they deducted the $75 annual fee. Credit One keeps refusing me of an increase, they send a letter in the mail stating the reason I was denied was because I have had their card less than one year. Okay, so today I call and the representative Olivia which sounded like a robot rather than a human tells me "no that not so, we get credit, one month, three month, six month." I said this isn't so, and I am sick and tired putting in for an increase, then seeing on my credit report hard inquiries. This card is ** and so are the representatives. If someone pays on time, they should be entitled an increase without all of Credit One bs stories.

    I received a letter I was preapproved. I applied and was told everything was approved and I would get my card 7-10 business days. 15 business days later I did not receive the card. I called them they told me give it a couple more days. 3 more days later I got a bill for $45.00 for something I never received nor activated. I called them to cancel altogether as to me this was a sign. The representative a foreigner told me he will cancel my account and credit my account for $25.00 and I would only owe $20.00. Oh yes I told him that was unacceptable. I am not paying anything for something I never received. He recanted his statement. Confirmed he canceled my account and credited it to $0. I have good credit. If this goes on my credit report I will be very upset. Beware do not get a Credit One credit card.

    This was the first card I received after my credit went to crap from when I lost my good paying job and had to take work paying half the income I used to make. Anyway, this is a subprime card and I understood that the interest rate was high. They also charge an annual fee that you can either pay each year in full or they will break it up and charge you each month for 12 months. I almost always pay the full amount I use each month. Sometimes I don't. I look at my statement and make sure the interest rate calculation is according to my rate for any balance I leave on the card till the next month. They've given me two increases but you have to for it. I think it $24. It's been worth it for me and it help me establish my credit enough even though I have several bad accounts on my credit report as I'm still digging myself out of the debt from when I lost my job.

    I now have a few more cards but mainly to just help my credit. Whatever I charge, I try to pay right away. If I maintain any balances, I pay four or five times the minimum amount due so the interest really hasn't been that bad, like an amount I would pay for a drink or two. Just keep in mind, this is a subprime card, know what your interest rate is so you're not pissed off later, and whatever your due date is, put it in your head that it's due a week or more before, this way if you have some anomaly in accessing your account or whatever, you're still good. Pay it off each month or as much of it as you can but not the minimum.

    I applied for a credit card and I know I have a fraud alert on my report. So when I finished my application it said "pending for additional information. You will receive a letter shortly requesting additional information." That was on June 6. Never received a letter requesting anything. So on June 15th I got a letter in the mail that was dated June 8 declining me because I have a fraud alert and they couldn't reach me via phone. Are you kidding me. When did a letter become a call. So I called them and their customer service are all idiots, all of them said including a supervisor "we're sorry but you can apply again after 30 days." Why would I do that.

    My whole credit history is so bad, that I have had to file bankruptcy! As I have moved on, to rebuild my credit history and score. I have a credit card through Credit One Bank. First they started me out with only $250.00 credit line. I made my payments on time, and without asking for a credit line increase, I now have a $500.00 credit line. If this is as high as my credit line will go! I'm very happy about it. Now I have a Capital One Quicksilver, with a credit line of $500.00 also! And just a month ago!

    I got the most best credit card, you can ever get! I have an American Express! And they started me out with a $1,000.00 credit line. Now as I have read about the American Express Card, which I have, after 30 days or 60 days, without missing payments. They, American Express, will increase your credit line up to 200%. I also have three of the most high interest rate cards which I use! I have Indigo, Total Visa and Milestone! And they only offer a $300.00 credit line only with a HIGH ANNUAL FEE! However I have each one of these paying for my internet shows, (#1) I have one paying for my Netflix! (#2) and the other paying for my Hulu. (#3) and my other one pays for my CBS.com.

    All of which are low cost! Online shows. Then after I saw my billings for these online shows, I shared them, and kept them open! And yes! Each year I have to pay my high annual fees! On those three! But I only pay! Low! Monthly payments for my Netflix, Hulu, and CBS.com. And I pay these cards before the due dates. Which shows up on my credit report, of never being late!

    Also I went and called all three credit bureaus and with a small fee of $5.00 to each one of the credit bureaus, I place a CREDIT LOCK! On my credit reports! So that no further credit request and be issued on my credit reports! But once you do this, you MUST keep your PIN NUMBERS! Because once you place a CREDIT LOCK on your credit report, you must have your pin number to UNLOCK your credit report! Please NOTE! If you have credit cards which you use, this CREDIT LOCK does not affect your credit card companies by reporting your credit history on your credit report! This CREDIT LOCK stops identity thieves from applying for credit in your name.

    I have used Credit One for almost five years and despite minor issues I have never had a problem until now. Their website's log in expires every 30 days (a serious flaw) and you have to re-set your online log-in/password every time (using your credit card numbers). I misplaced my credit card right before a European trip and I called to let them know that I couldn't find my card to pay my credit card. I asked them to grant me an extension and re-send the card. Total nightmare. I kept receiving harassing phone calls for payment. When I called again to tell them that I thought an extension had been granted and that I was waiting for the card, they had no record of it in their system. This happened three times. As a result my payment was delayed by over 30 days.

    This was the first time in my 5 year history with them that I was that delinquent. They reported me to my credit agency!! Despite calling them every week and checking on the status of my card and letting them know that I would send payment as soon as I received it. I even paid the balance in full once I got the card. I am now currently on the phone with them demanding to know why my loyalty of five years meant nothing to them. I am closing this card. I can't deal with the crap they pull anymore. I'd rather take a closure on my credit history then give them my business.

    I will start this by saying I have had my Credit One Platinum card for about five years now. I have lived at the same address for three. I logged into a third party credit monitoring service I use and found out that Credit One closed my credit line. They did this without emailing me, without mailing me any notice, or calling. When I called in the rep told me to verify my address for identity purposes so I gave them my address. Three minutes later, when I was able to ask about why my account was closed without my knowledge they said it was because of an address discrepancy and that they tried mailing me notification... They had my ** address on file to verify my information... Both in the online account center, and at their office. There was definitely not an address discrepancy, and they email me my payment confirmation every time I make a payment. Poor company structure and organization is what caused this issue.

    I have never missed a payment, and whatever they are doing over there at Credit One just dropped my credit score thirty points because that was my oldest revolving account. It is also near impossible to get a rep on the phone. Companies like Credit One do this on purpose because they do not care about customer service, and they know they have a poor product. Their payments take forever to process so you cannot rely on this card for daily use, and they hardly offer any type of rewards points. Worst card I have ever had.

    They promise to report to all three bureaus, but they do not do this on time or accurately which made my TransUnion score lower than the others. When I called them about it, I spoke with a woman with a heavy accent who was difficult to understand, and told me I would have to write them a letter. Further, they make paying the bill difficult, and hold your payment for a week before adding it into your balance. If you want to pay immediately they charge you ten bucks. I will leave my balance at zero because canceling your credit card also lowers your score.

Was told that they could do it in 2 to 3 business days so I could update my checking account to make sure it's right. I had to call them again today because it was not open, was told they had to verify my checking account.

    They could charge my account a $1 to verify it, if they wanted to. I asked for a Supervisor which she did not turn me over to, she kept talking. I will admit I was a little frustrated on the phone with her. I have never had trouble paying any of my bills, I got the card because I was trying to build my credit back up after my divorce. I feel being late on this bill is going to jack my credit up some more. I told her just to send me a bill, I am paying it off and canceling the card. I wash my hands of it, and I regret ever opening an account with this company.

    Seeing a lot of negative reviews for Credit One Bank's credit card and I want to say that it isn't that bad at all. I have had one for 9 months without a problem at all. I have even had my credit limit raised by them from 500 to 800. Yes, it is for rebuilding credit and geared towards low credit score people but so what? It's not their fault they have to have high rates because people's credit scores are bad and they are taking a risk. This card along with a few more cards have helped my score from the 529 it was 10 months ago to a 648 it is right now. All you have to do is pay on time the minimum and that's it. At their website, I have registered and logged on all the time without a problem. Even their phone app works like a charm. Some reason it won't work on my computer at my job but I do use a ton of open applications that slow my internet down but no problems on my laptop at home or the desktop.

    Just pay at least the minimum of what 35 bucks little before the due date and you are fine. It's that easy. If you are rebuilding your credit then you have to start somewhere. I now have a Citi card with zero percent for the first year, along with two Capital One buy power cards with cash back and an American Express card all because I rebuilt my credit starting with Credit One Bank. Never max the card out, always keep at least half available. That easy.

    They claim the fee is $9.95 to process an express payment. So, I agree and my payment amount plus $9.95 is processed and withdrawn from my payment source. I'm checking my statement, and I also see a separate express payment fee charge to my credit one account for ANOTHER $9.95 a couple of lines under where it shows my payment amount WITH the extra fee they originally took! If anyone out there has used this "service", check your statements against your payment source statements. I bet you see the same thing.

    Got my card and charged $141 to it then was immediately blocked because of "suspicious activity". Fair enough. Security is a good thing. I called customer service and was told they'd lift the block. They didn't. I called back two more times and was told each time the block was lifted. On the fourth call I was informed the block could only be lifted after I submitted ID to them for verification. Okay, fine. I wish the first CS rep had told me, but okay. So, I send my ID and call back about a week later and was told they hadn't received it yet and to call back in a few days. I call back three days later. The CS rep informs me they did receive my ID, however, they can't accept it because it's expired. (I don't drive anymore). I requested to close my account, but couldn't because of the block. I asked what I could do to get the block lifted and the CS rep finally agreed to accept my social security card for verification.

    I mailed a copy of the card along with a letter requesting to close my account and settle my outstanding balance of $141. Called them a week later to confirm receipt of the letter and ID. They didn't get it, so call back in a few days. I call back in a few days, but still no letter and ID. The CS rep relented and agreed to close my account without verification. However, they would have to call me back within 72 hours to finalize that. Of course I never heard back from anyone.

    So, I called again and spoke to a CS rep who gave me the runaround about sending in the same documents and blah, blah, blah. I told her what the last rep had agreed to, but they had no record that they would close my account. Shocker. I requested her to close my account, but she refused and gave me the same spiel. I hung up, shredded my card and will not pay the bill for $141. I'll take the hit to my credit score. The people who work there are uneducated drones with no ability to problem solve or think critically.

    I've only been on the first page of the reviews about Credit One bank, but I sure wish that I read before signing up because if I had I would not have. My experience is not as bad as most, as I canceled my card after making my first payment. I received my card and was able to use it just fine, but when it came time to make a payment things went south quickly.

    This bank offers two options to make the payment online, an express option for $9.95 and a regular payment option. The express payment option was supposed to make all funds available the next business day whereas the regular option would result in funds being available in 5 business days. The express option could be paid using a checking account or credit/debit card. The regular option could only be paid via checking account. Something about the express payment option was strange and screamed of a money grab by the bank, especially since my Capitol One card could be paid using my bank account and the funds were available the next business day, for free. I planned to use the card in 3 business days, so I chose the express payment option anyway. Their online payment process was clunky and frustrating but after about 20 minutes I was able to get the payment to go through.

    I go to check my balance on the second business day and only the first $100 of my balance was available even though I paid my entire balance off. I called their support line to see why this was and was told that since I made the payment using my bank account they could only make the first $100 available and they needed to verify funds for the rest of my payment before making the rest of my credit line available. This was not explained on their website, and I told the support staff that but there was apparently nothing they could do.

    This whole payment experience was problematic and frustrating, and I wanted nothing to do with this bank any longer so I asked to have my express payment fee refunded and my account closed. I was transferred to an account specialist to accomplish this. I had to go through the entire conversation again with the account specialist, and a few minutes after he acknowledged that I wished to have my account closed he was still trying to explain their policies that I had already understood and kept talking over me after I kept asking for the express payment refund and to have my account closed. I finally raised my voice just a bit since it was clearly apparent that he was not listening and asked him to listen. Again he cut me off and hurriedly told my that my account was now closed and I will receive a credit for the express payment fee. Immediately after he hung up on me.

    I called back to talk to a manager because I wanted to confirm that my account was closed and since the account was closed ask how they were going to credit the express payment fee back to me, and of course to file a complaint. I was forwarded to a supervisor who confirmed that my account was closed and that they will send the credit for the express payment via check. When I asked if it is acceptable for their agents to speak over their customers or to hang up on them, of course the response was no. However, the reviews here indicate otherwise. Please do yourself a favor and avoid the frustration. Avoid Credit One Bank.

    I often try to pay my bills online using their website. It is often down and you'll receive a message that reads, "Technical difficulties" or something along those lines. I tried so often one time, that by the time I was successful, the payment was late and it was entered as late on my credit report. I called them and they said they would correct it. As of today, it is still entered as late on my credit report. I have 8 other credit cards that have a perfect payment record. I used this credit card to re-establish credit after my divorce. I'm going to continue to use this card, but I have something up my sleeve where I will use them and it will cost me little to nothing.

    I have been using this card to lift my credit score and have been paying 1 month in advance of all my payments to be flawless to avoid possible interest rates accumulating. However, one day as I looked into my statements, they have been charging me Interest on my spending when I was paying my credit card off almost twice a month. I called and found out that the interest APR, is calculated for Daily purchase. So basically, if you buy something now with the card YOU'LL BE PAYING INTEREST ON IT for the DAYS that goes by until the day you pay it off. WHAT KIND OF FRAUD IS THIS???

    I called and asked to speak to a supervisor, and all of their customer service representatives are in INDIA by the way. They finally passed the phone to another Indian guy who was the supervisor and offered my no ANNUAL FEE (which I found out it was $99 a year - which was divided into monthly to charge me $8.25 a month!) for the next 6 months. This is "ALL" that they could do for me. So I took the offer and WILL CALL BACK IN 6TH MONTH from today to re-negotiate. TIPS FOR ALL: For all who already have this card, if you cancel your card, it will impact your credit score. Just call and complain and threaten them so that they will do something for you. Pay off the card in FULL and don't ever utilize this card ever again. CALL TO AVOID THE ANNUAL FEE AS WELL!!!

    I had my card for two years, as of this morning. This morning, I received a call, from Credit One, informing me that my card had an overdue balance. I told them that it was impossible because I had recently paid my card completely off in April. I then asked when my last purchase had been made and the representative told me that my last purchase had been made in February. He then informed me that the card came with "annual monthly payments" of $8.50 a month, as I had agreed to in the contract. I had never agreed to this. I then informed the representative that I would like to cancel the card. The representative then informed me that I would be charged an additional fee of $8.25 to cover "credit bureau fees". After agreeing to these conditions, I was transferred to customer service, and I'm pretty sure that I talked to THE SAME EXACT PERSON, but with a different pseudonym this time.

    The representative then processed my payment and hopefully this nightmare is now over. The representative was constantly talking, explaining every step in extreme detail, which was highly annoying because he was well aware that I was not in a good mood. He was Indian, and I had already mentioned that I wanted to end my services with card. When I mentioned canceling the card a second time, he acted very shocked. In the end, I paid $45 when I shouldn't have paid a damn dime. The overall experience with the company was actually a four-star experience for a year and a half. I was locked out of my online account and I was unable to contact them through phone, even though I had made a payment. My wife and I then received random suspicious phone numbers everyday, equaling roughly 20 per day on both phones combined.

    Finally I answered the phone after a few weeks and it was a call from collections. They let me talk to Credit One and Credit One claimed that I had made a payment in November, although it supposedly hadn't been processed through and the money was supposedly returned. After talking to my bank and reviewing my records, I had never been refunded. I then talked to Credit One again and they STILL refused to pay me back. After another month of not paying due to being unhappy, I finally paid them back due to them causing my credit to absolutely nosedive. My credit had gone down well over 100 points and I have still not recovered from it. This is an absolutely atrocious company and they are a complex scam. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

I finally just borrow the money to get me through and told them to just cancel the card, which they didn't. I had to call back again and have that done.

    Paid the entire balance two weeks after I received a bill in my house that I owe $2 of interest??? How do I owe if my account been close and I make sure I saw it was $0. Well ok I paid that because if I don't the charge almost $40 of late fee then collection and let me not forget to mention that they charge a fee right away.

    My fiance' got a letter in the mail that said "pre approved" for 0% APR for 12 months on purchases and balance transfers with a credit limit up to $3000.00. So he went to the site and put in the "Approval code" and his SS like it asked. Then continued the short application. After that he had to wait a week or so to get the what we assumed was the credit limit approval. He only got $1000.00 but that's not a big deal. What pissed us off is that when he got the card there was NOTHING about 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers. In fact there was NOTHING about balance transferring at all! That's the reason we got the card. We wanted to transfer a balance and have the 0% APR for a year.

    So he calls them up and stupid us we didn't keep the mail because we assumed since it said PRE APPROVED that's what it meant. The thing is after all this I remembered them from over a year ago doing the same thing to me! I didn't realize it was the same company until I heard him talking on the phone with them. Needless to say we closed our accounts right away and they still charged us a the annual fee which again wasn't mentioned that either of us remember. So we are now out $90.00 total.

    This was my first credit card. I warn everyone, don't even use this company. Just build your credit with someone else. I have trying to check on my account for 3 days and I get a pop up that I temporarily don't have access to my account. I wonder why??? Probably because I am very close to paying them off. I have been making two or one substantial payments monthly. I set up to have a payment made a month ago and they took it and then threw it back in my bank account. I assume because I was paying way over my minimum pay where they really cannot charge interest much since I'm catching up to zero balance.

    They are not even up to date on their website, Credit One does not allow you to do auto pay and it's hard to maneuver easily to where you want to go on the site. They want you to be late and get a penalty. Screw them, don't use them. Also, I been with them for four years and my credit amount really haven't raised to bottom. I now have Amex and Citi who have 10 times raised my credit limit. What's up with that. Screw Credit One. They get a zero.

    Credit One Bank is a predatory bank that accepts clients with poor credit or clients who are in the process of rebuilding. Their initial offer is a $300 credit limit with an immediate $100 fee, meaning your credit card only has a $200 limit until it is paid in full. I understand low credit limits, but $200? However, that isn't what bothers me about Credit One. They are factually dishonest and unethical. Read a few reviews concerning their online bill pay option. A large percentage of people cannot use this feature.

    In fact, if you try to create an account on their website, you will be asked to re-enter your information again, and again, and again... It never works. Credit One is well aware of this issue, and it is planned dysfunction on their part. They know that if a client is unable to pay his or her bill online, then he or she will be forced to pay through the mail, as their phone systems are similarly problematic. Meanwhile, a client will be overwhelmed with late fees and other charges all because of their non-working website.

    With that said, that isn't even the worst of it. Even a week or two before your minimum payment is due, you will receive nonstop, harassing phone calls every day from random numbers. They will "Never" leave a voice message, and if you block a number, they have a near-infinite collection of other numbers they can use to reach you. They will call at 5:00 AM, 11:30 PM, it doesn't matter. If you answer, you will be berated and spoken down to like a little kid being sent for a time out. It is humiliating.

    I refuse to pay my $200 balance. Why? 1) It is "Impossible" to do so online. Clients cannot make an account, no matter what they try. It is purposefully dysfunctional. 2) The harassing phone calls never stop, and they are completely inappropriate. I'm not a criminal and these guys aren't parole officers. 3) They take advantage of the poor and only make things worse for them. If they were even slightly more honest about what they do, I would have no problem paying off my card. They simply won't admit that they force people to pay through the mail or over the phone, which is unsafe and risky, as Credit One will often "Lose" payments. Bottom line, even in a desperate situation, I would strongly reconsider their offer. Do you really want to sell your soul for $200? It's not worth it.

I had a credit line of $300. I went to pay my bill online in the month of May which was $25 dollars, which I had no problem paying. Then it takes 5 days to post. Who waits 5 days to post payment when it is ACH. That sound fishy. So, I waited and it hit on the 5th day so, I was not going to use it all.

    The next day my son get sick so I had to use some of it to get him some meds and when I get the register it declines. I get on the app and what the heck is the problem and my card says it is over the credit limit and in the negative 6 dollars. How is this when I just paid my bill a week ago. Another thing that sound fishy. So I call them up and they said that my payment has came back returned so I go to my bank and see what the heck is the problem and they said it went through and everything is fine on their end. So I ended up going to my bank and disputing the transaction since they claim it came back returned. Then I call them again and tell what is going on and they refund me my 25 dollars so I said okay.

    I go out the next day to use it and my card declines twice and third time it approves it. The first 2 times it declined not sure why when, I had available credit on there. I call and they said that their systems was down. And to wait an hour. I go to the store an hour later and purchase my things. It was approved the third time. So I call them to see what the heck happened to my money and they said I used it all. I said "no I didn't" when my card declined twice. They claim that it was approved twice and declined only once. So this is the second time they stole my money. I was sitting here screaming and hollering at them because they stole money from me. So they told me it was Family Dollar's fault and not theirs. How is it Family Dollar's fault when their machine said declined.

    So I get off the phone with them and go and check the app again. This time they took the last little bit that I had on the card. I'm not going to call because they will claim that they didn't do anything with my money. But I did call them and tell them to close my account and card. And not to send me a bill or anything because "you guys will not see any more money from me". And I will contact my lawyer. Everybody that they connect you with can't speak English.

It wasn't until after I activated that I realized they market themselves closely to Capital One to lure people in. But since I let them hit my credit and got approved, I went ahead and activated.

    My first red flag came a few days after activation. I had just made a purchase for gas, then attempted to make another purchase at a mall 15 minutes from where I live. The gas transaction went through with no problem, the mall transaction declined. I immediately call their CSR to see what was going on? Was there a stipulation I missed when I signed up? Why did the card decline?? These nuts proceed to tell me that because the purchase was from outside of my billing area, the card was placed on restriction? Huh?? I live in a HUGE metro area with hundreds of zip codes that change by the block. I explained to her that although I was still within the CITY LIMITS and had JUST made a gas purchase around the corner, I did not understand how I was being declined for being outside of my area. She responded that she fully understood and would take the restriction off, wait 15 minutes then try again.

    Okay, so I browse around the department store 20 minutes, go back to the counter to try again, DECLINED!! What in the world?? So I try to call back, get a different rep who tells me that the restriction was never taken off... okay now I'm standing at the counter looking crazy so I go ahead and put the purchase on my bank card. After leaving the mall, I kept thinking about what just happened and how none of it made sense so I called the CSR number back and was told that their office hours were closed. Mon-Friday and Saturdays pacific time... another red flag.

    So with using this card, I need to call their CSR anytime I am outside of my subdivision needing to make a purchase, and it has to be before 8 pm EST (or 5 PM PST) or I'm ** out of luck.

This card will never leave the house with me, it's pointless to risk getting declined just because my billing area is 2 blocks away. SMH.

    This company is nothing but a pain in the butt to get a credit card with! I have had a card in the past with them so I decided to open up a new account... worst mistake I ever made! I wait 10 days for my card to arrive, and when it comes there is a number to call to activate the card. Once I call to activate the card I am then told they will need a copy of my driver's license and a utility bill in order to verify my address and then my card could be activated. After going round and round trying with 3 different reps with the last rep yelling at me and not listening, I demanded to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor understood my frustration so he said, after I told him I was not putting sensitive documents into the U.S. Postal mail to go only God knows where. He gave me a fax number to fax him the documents and that my card would be activated.

    I faxed the documents as he requested and then called back the next day to activate the card only to be told that there was a block on my account and I had to be transferred to an investigation unit. A woman comes on the phone pretending to be an investigator and asked me what my middle name was, how old I was, what my current address is, and what the name of my spouse is??? What the crap??? I told her I was divorced and had been for 16 years so what does my ex have to do with it???

    After jumping through all the hoops I was told that my documents that I faxed to them had not been received and that it sometimes takes 24-48 hrs for them to get the documents and it could take another 3-5 days for them to analyze the documents before my card could be approved. At this point of the call I told her that this was supposed to be a credit card company not the FBI and that she could just close out my account that never opened and I would destroy the card they sent me. This card by the way only had a $400 limit but they way they are acting you would think they were giving me a $50,000 credit card limit. This is just plain retarded the way the are conducting so called 'business' especially considering I have been a past customer. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE DEALING WITH THIS company!! You are in for one major headache if you do!!

    I received Credit One platinum card in the mail, when I called the number in the back of it to activate! I was transferred to customer service. After answering some verification questions I was informed that I had to mail in a copy of my driver license, SSN and a utility bill to some PO Box in Las Vegas, I found that to be sketchy. I hang up the phone and spoke to someone else that told me my account was under review for fraud. I was transferred to a fraud specialist that asked me additional verification questions. Then told me that another specialist would call me in 24 to 48 hrs this time.

    On the 2nd day, another guy called and gave me a fax number ** to fax my documents. Couple days later I called again to see how far they had gone with the process since I had faxed the paperwork as needed. Keep in mind I am now spending money to Uber myself to Kinko’s to make copies and fax them which cost $2.25 a page for long distance. I called a couple more days later getting different stories and finally a lady told me my card was activated and ready for use. I walked to a local store to test it out, got stuff worth $22 and card declined in front of my new girlfriend’s embarrassment. I went outside the store and called them again and this time I was told my card was still under review after the other lady had told me it was activated. I was furious and asked them to cancel it. At this time the fees are deducted $94 and I haven't even used the card. THIS CREDIT ONE BANK IS A NIGHTMARE.

    I have had a card with this company for around a year. I have made all my payments on time except 2. That I have paid in full. When the second payment "bounced", they shut down my account with no notice. I paid the account 4 weeks later to a zero balance, with assurance that the money would be available at the beginning of the week. I called Monday when the card was rejected at the store and then they informed me they terminated my account, and that it would never be reactivated. So now I am left with no way to pay any bills. I'm glad I am done with this company. Everything you do has a fee. If you have a change balance on your account by the end of the day they take it, rounding it down to an even dollar amount.

    OK so I have had this card since November, and it's not bad if you're rebuilding credit. I see a lot of negative reviews on here, but let me just say they have treated me well. I make weekly payments on my account, and the funds are always available the next business day. The main thing that I don't like is that I'm charged 10 bucks whenever I make an "express payment". I find it annoying, but as someone who is rebuilding credit, I believe beggars can't be choosers. So if you are trying to rebuild credit I do recommend it.

I get alerts on my phone for credit card due dates but since it was frozen the card was taken off the account. I received a credit score check and it dropped 70 points due to being late. I called and spoke to someone who I could barely understand and they said it was a mistake and they would lift the fraud and late payment status.

    It's been two months now and I am in the process of disputing this problem. I called for a letter saying that there was no late fee due to fraud like they had promised and now they can't help me.

    Don't apply for this card - Scam - Fraud - No resolution - I lost my job, still attempted to make payments but the reps will not accept partial payments. My account was referred to another department, that insist I give them my banking information, I refuse. Stated I can pay them $25 monthly, a rep with a very thick accent told me no and was very rude, talked extremely fast and stated I had to pay a certain amount. I got a call weeks later stating they were given permission to offer me a settlement which was less than half my balance. Yet stated I needed to again give my bank information. I refuse again. I said I can send a money order, the rep agreed and said since they get credit for payment I needed to put it to his attention. I agreed and borrowed the money.

    A month later I received a statement with a higher balance due, when I called they said they never received any payment that the rep did not work there and there were no notes in the system where I was offered a settlement. Credit One sold my account to a collection agency with the same high balance with a different closing date... That constantly keep reappearing on my credit. I open this account in 2012.

    I had two credit cards with this atrocious bank. I also have 4 other credit cards. I got a loan and paid off all of my credit cards on 3/23/17. I had no problem with any of my cards with the exception of Credit One. They sent me two letters dated 4/4/17 stating that they wanted a letter from my bank certifying that the payments I made were actually from my bank account and were valid payments. The letter stated that I had been locked out of my accounts and that I had until 5/4/17 to supply this info or they would close my accounts and reported to credit agencies as "closed by credit grantor."

    When I first called them on 4/19/17 they told me that this was their policy because the payments I had made were much larger than any previous payment. SO WHAT! However, I did as requested and mailed the letters certified mail on 4/21/17 and they were signed for as received on 4/24/17. I continued to be locked out of my account and called back on 5/3/17 and spoke to a supervisor named Eppy who told me that they had not received the letters. I informed her that I had the receipts from the post office showing that they had indeed received them. She then said that it takes 7-10 business days for paperwork to get thru their mailroom to the appropriate office and reviewed. I said fine and that I would call back in a few days.

    Upon calling back on 5/10/17 and speaking to yet another supervisor named Sarah, I was again informed that they showed no receipt of my letters. I then told them that I would not be sending them again and that it wasn't my fault if they lost the letters and that they had better do as they had promised and unlock my accounts. She said she would try and get back to me within 24-48 hours. I told her that she had better do more than "try" and she then said she would get back to me. However, upon checking my credit report today on 5/11/17 I find that they have closed both my accounts. Unbelievable! Do not do any business with this bank under any circumstances.

    Got a card, limit was increased in 3 months for good payments. Immediately, I could no longer log on so I figured I'd make payment by phone. They took my 500$ payment (way above the min due) but had suspended my card, which I only found out by trying to use the card the next day. They refused to discuss it by phone, stating they sent a letter. A week later, letter comes asking for verification from my bank that the payments that had been made for 3 months were authorized to be made and bank statements. I sent requested info, bank statement from 2 accounts, actual letter from Chase banker confirming auth to make payments and guess what? Never heard back.

    So, when I called, finally got an "investigator" who said they didn't have enough info and were not going to turn the card back on. They have all my account nums and personal info and employment info and verification. There is nothing else. So, of course I get an email. "Payment due, click here." And it won't let me access it to even pay off the 100 or so balance. And they reported the card "closed" by them which is a ding on credit report. For a card that was pd. early and consistently with higher than minimum due. What's that tell you?

    Many people are bashing Credit One... BUT you need to deal with them with realistically. I've had horrible credit for 20 years, because of two divorces, but I make good money, and own a home that has considerable equity. I also have term, and whole life, insurance policies. This is a short term credit card for those establishing credit, or re-establishing credit. I always thought this was a company associated/parent company with Capital One. No! BUT my initial credit was $450, after I paid my "yearly card fee" of $45 after it was issued, and IN FULL - WHEN I ACTIVATED THE CARD, I got an increase of $150.

    If you have bad credit, your options are limited. If you have dodgy, or questionable issues, such as past due child support, or cell phone bills, IRS, or other hassles, this is your card. It's a jumping stone to other cards, especially Discover. Just be aware. Secured cards are useless. It's fine for a year, but you have to move on quickly. Move on within a year. I applied to Discover and told them I had a $350 balance on my Credit One account, they lived it, gave me 18 months 0 APR, and a 2,000 credit limit. I refused, and had them lower it to $1,000. I have no use for high limits. I'm very debit card, and cash functional, but Discover, Amex, offer rewards to many of my day to day shopping. Only use Credit One as a stepping stone for a year, or two, tops. If you are not a fairly good credit risk, after a year, with on time payments, and at least half of your credit limit available, they will waive your yearly fee, but you will have to call them, and ask.

    Maintained an account for several years because I am a dummy. High interest rates, high annual fee (charged monthly), and remarkably/intentionally, poor customer service. I closed the account today after making the decision that this card wasn't worth the trouble and certainly not worth a monthly $9 fee to keep it open. It took four different transfers to four different associates. The customer service people were unhelpful, refused to answer questions. And although I expressly asked for the account to be closed and requested confirmation, I am not sure that either will actually happen since the person I spoke to hung up on me while I was asking for email confirmation. They also tried to charge me around $8 to process a payment. The idea is to make the process as difficult as possible in hopes that you will give up.

    These are obviously outsourced jobs (I talked to a woman with a strong enough accent named "Mitch"), and you can't blame the people for doing what they are told to do. But I strongly recommend you take your business elsewhere. If you do maintain an account with this crappy company, call them and negotiate interest rates, annual fees, other charges. They try to slip things by you (processing fees and what-not) that you really should not be paying for. Boooo Credit One.

That's all great for me who I currently have one credit card with my bank. Well everything goes smoothly. They send you your nice silver Credit One Credit card in the mail, step by step instructions on how to set up your online account and boom! You're in. Well I decide to put a couple of small purchases in the total amount of about $150 - no big deal. Well I decide to set it up which they have instructions and also which I've done with other company that bill me, to have an bill payments directly from my bank account. Sure enough I follow the steps, Credit One bank says everything's up to date. I start paying off that small purchase (2 payments a week apart). And think everything is going smoothly.

    Fast Forward about 2 weeks when I try to log in to my Credit One account to look it over, and I can't log in. Hmmmm that's strange. Call the customer service hotline and I get someone who can barely speak English on the line (keep in mind I am myself a minority so we'll end that conversation there) and they tell me "due to payments not being met we close your account". I go on and ask how can that be. I put all my banking info in there and it told me I was good to go. Then the person tells me "well you need to go to your bank get a bank approval form and mail it to us." Keep in mind I work in a fast pace small business office and work from 630am-6pm Monday through Friday. I'm upset because now they want me to go take time out of my day that I don't have a lot of and do this for them with no warning.

    Well in a rude way the customer service rep says "well you got warnings letters sent out to you". I said "ok when did you send those out" and the reply... "Yesterday"... Angry I said "so you sent out a warning via mail that you were closing my account yesterday which mail takes 3-5 days to get that. My account will be closing." After that the Service Rep didn't know how to respond and had to get their supervisor on the phone and I ask "Well can you just re-open my online account? I'll pay with my debit card or other credit card and we'll be all set." NOPE! I have to go to my bank to go get the Bank Approval form and mail to have my account reopened online to make any type of payment...

    First of all company origin outside of the United States so therefore customer service is extremely unsupportive. Second. Hidden fee. Consumer would've not know about until after using the card because you do not have an online access immediately. As soon as you receive the card you want to get access to your account 2 to 3 weeks after signing up and that will not give you enough time to find out about them and good timing and that's done purposely from the company to set you up for failure and I will give you an example on that. There is a $75 annual fee will be deducted from your bank account immediately so if you cancel your the $75 annual fee +25% on the amount that you owe. And the list goes down. I will highly recommend not using the card until you have access to the online banking and to have a customer service another explain everything before using the card.

I wish I had never gotten into it or at least looked into it first, but at the time I desperately needed the money to help out my parents. The membership fee was like $80 or so. My credit limit is $400. Right now I still have $350 to pay off.

    I haven't used the card for a long time and I kept going into the negative and it was like I wasn't even making a payment. I've only gotten $50 knocked off, which is crazy to me when my payments are $25 a month. I make them every month on time and I haven't used the card in so long. Not sure how that's happening and I feel like I'm being ripped off. I do know the interest is RIDICULOUS and it's like I'm barely making any payments. Last month's payment pretty much was pointless, considering that interest was $9 and then $10 for annual fee. And they keep asking me to increase my credit limit by $200 (even though $75 will be charged for whatever, membership I guess). I keep turning them down on it and they still keep pestering me with it. So annoying.

I decided that I will pay off all my credit cards then keep a balance around 10% of my credit limit. Well after I paid my account instead of reporting 0 balance these jerks decided to report that I had 30 day late payment a month before, not true. Never been late or missed a payment.

    TransUnion was the only one that corrected the late payment on my report and score went up to 740. Equifax and Experian refuses after 2 months of writing and calling everyone involved no change, in the meantime my score dropped over 50 points. Then right after TransUnion fixed the late payment they started reporting my account was closed by me, score dropped 62 points, now I'm battling this lie. WTF. I'm truly trying to keep my cool with these Jerks but it's hard very hard and refuse to give credit repair money for something I can do, so I reported it to the CFPB who then in return turned it over to the OCC. When I call and plead with Credit One to fix their mistakes, I'm told to put it in writing with proof. When I tell them I have several times, they then tell me they will fix it.

    Okay. So I thought I would wrote a review on making my 1st payment to Credit One bank. Since I read so many negative reviews about making payments I was very skeptical to apply for the card but I did and I got approved. So when my card came of course it had a $75.00 annual fee. My bill was due 5/15/2017. So I looked up what payment options I had available on credit one site and I was like this at 1st, "This is ridiculous.” So I decided to go to one of my local check cashing places (ACE Check Cashing). I asked them to run the card to see if I can make a cash payment through bill pay and to my surprise I could and the fee was on $3.95 and to my payment posted within 2 business days.

    So going forward this will be my method of payment. I'm not waiting 5 days or paying that express pay fee. So my advice is if you are running close to your bill pay it at your local check cashing place. I also found out from Credit One if you pay it even a day before the due date and they get the payment 2 days later that still backdate the payment to the date of the recipient and you will not be charged any late fees. They said just keep your receipt until the payment post. But I was advised that when you do a money wire transfer as such it will always post within business days which is truly the quickest, easiest and fastest way to make your monthly payment. Hopes this helps everyone.

    I had a credit card from this company for many years with no late payments. They increased my credit with my agreement and no notice the interest rate was increasing to 25%...outrageous. I called and they insisted they couldn't lower the rate. I threatened to pay off balance. They gave me payoff and I mailed check right in. They called and begged me to keep account open and they would credit last few months’ interest. I told them it was too late and to just close the account. They did and billed me a last month’s interest and continue to bill me late fees and now show a negative rating on my credit to an account they closed and said was paid in full.

    I went online to Credit One found out I owed a bill for $8.26. When I called to find out what this was for, spoke with someone who didn't speak English and when I asked to be transferred to someone else sent me to another non-English person. I finally had enough and asked for the supervisor who spoke English a little better. When I asked her what the fee was for she informed me it was for the annual fee and service charge! When I informed her how can I have a service charge on a purchase on a card that I shredded 8 months ago she had no answer, I informed her that I'm paying the $8.26 right now and to close this account. She stated that "I saw that you paid and I will close the account right now." If this account isn't closed by Tuesday of next week I will have our attorney handle it as I only got this card to help build credit.

    I have, unfortunately, been a customer of this bank for several years now. I have never made a late payment. I pay my bill on time, in excess of the minimum each month. In March I tried to make a payment, but the website demanded that I enter the amounts of deposits the company made to my checking account. After I tried to do just that -- and several times -- I was refused and blocked from making a payment! I gave up for the moment, planning to call the company. I was later hospitalized with pneumonia and out for two weeks.

    Then the harassing calls began, night and day, on the weekends, and even at my place of employment. Each time I have attempted to make a payment over the phone, I'm given a runaround, asked for much, much more than is owed, or put on hold and disconnected. I talked to two individuals today when my initial call was disconnected. Something very suspicious is going on, and I am concerned. Not only does this experience smack of unprofessionalism on their part, it appears criminal. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH CREDIT ONE.

    I obtained this credit card to rebuild my credit, but it has been the worst experience ever. To start, I used my checking account to make a one time payment, but in fact they withdrew the money a second time without my permission. When I called them to ask, "why this had happened" they stated I made the payment online, which was not true! They then proceeded to tell me that they were canceling the current card and would send me out a replacement.

    After receiving the card within 10 days, I called to activate the card, and they informed that the card had already been activated! This prompts me to check my account on the mobile app, where I then see a balance of $477! I called to back to speak with a supervisor, and the CSR told me that they sent the payment back to my bank. There were no funds returned to my account and then to discover I then saw that they charged me a $25 late fee when my payment was made on time in full. The supervisor gets on the line to inform me that he is going to forward the issue to the billing dept. What a waste of time and energy to resolve something that is their mistake. Not only that, the supervisor tells me that the funds were not disbursed back to my checking account and he doesn't know what went wrong.

    If you are reading this, PLEASE do not get a card with this company! They are full of it and no one speaks clear enough English for you to understand or them to comprehend your complaint/issue. To top it off, all this happened within a two month timeframe and I'm not even able to use my card now until they call me back within 72 hours. They wouldn't even provide me a contact number for the department that handles these escalations, so that I may follow up. Just Sad. :(

However I notice a balance of 1.49 due April 20th. So I called customer service and unfortunately got a CSR from the Philippines that hardly understood English. Explained to the Rep. that being that I paid off the account in full prior to the due date that I would not be assessed a finance charge. She argued with me and stated that I have to look at the payoff balance. That I am assessed a finance charge. Being that I takes up to five business days for the debit to clear.

    Apparently she did not understand that my due date was on the 20th, and my payment was posted to the account on the 5th of the month. She states that I am still assessed a finance charge during the five business days. I said, "That is Illegal. You cannot charge finance charges when you pay off the account in full prior to the due date." So then she put me on hold and then came back five minutes later still arguing with me about it. And I told her that I am not paying the 1.49 finance charge and a late fee if I refuse to pay this. She then told me that I need to pay using express pay for the ridiculous fee of 9.00. I said, "You banks all you do is rip off people." So then she removed the finance charge.

    Then 24 hours later I get several calls from Credit One stating that they are a supervisor and wanted to talk to me about the call I had. I did not speak to these supervisors I know because they are alias supervisors with fake names that cannot speak English. Credit One needs to have their services in the United States where us customers can understand English.

Their practices are horribly deceptive, and they did numerous things to my account, including one time they put a $2.60 amount on my account AFTER I paid it off. When I called to close account and ask what the fee was for, I was told it was interest from my previous balance, that I paid off 2 weeks ago. The customer representative harassed me and gave me a terrible time about closing my account. After arguing with him for at least 15 minutes, he finally agreed to close my account. Then, he said I had to pay the $2.60 so he could close it as I was a risk. WHAT FOR A fraudulent charge that they put on my account, I'm the risk?? No. They operative deceptively and I'm sure they take advantage of many, many people. STAY AWAY FAR AWAY from their offers.

    Card was allegedly sent out on 3/4 and I was notified by email that I could expect it within 7-10 business days. By 3/24, I had not received the card but had received a statement for the $75 annual fee. I spoke with a representative on 3/24 and was told she would zero out the balance, cancel the card and issue a new one. By 4/3, I had not received the SECOND card. I spoke with a representative AND a supervisor and was told 1) They cannot cancel a card and issue a new one (first rep lied? Hmmm, imagine that). 2) They would cancel the second card and issue a new one (thought you couldn't do that). 3) They will look at the account and call me back within 7-10 business days.

    NONE of these reps were American and all were difficult to understand. ALL of them seemed not to care one bit that they are inefficient and in my opinion, fraudulent. ALL of them repeated the phrase "I am sorry for your inconvenience" multiple times but yet offered no solution to THEIR multiple errors. IF I ever receive the card, I will be cutting it immediately in half and sending it back to them along with a written letter stating my opinion of their business practices. Do NOT apply for this card! It is my belief that they are, in fact, a bogus company. After reading several other reviews, I am now grateful that the card never got here.

    I used to have this credit card and was content. Unfortunately three years ago, I did a bankruptcy and included them in the contract. They are saying they are a charge-off when they know they were part of my bankruptcy. I think they are deliberately trying to be sneaky and get paid instead of respecting their original outcome.

    Got pre-approved for a credit card with Credit One. Went ahead and went through with the application process. What they failed to inform me of is that they have a $75 annual "membership" fee, which goes up to $99 for the next year. I didn't see this until I received the card in the mail and activated it. I promptly called them and cancelled my "membership" because $75 is a complete ripoff. Other credit card companies don't charge this. Stay far away from this bank. Complete ripoff.

    I originally applied for a credit line of $750 and was approved. I get the card in the mail and find out my limit is at $500. Then, once my card is maxed out after a move, I try to pay the bill online. After trying to login to my account online I find out I've been locked out by the bank. How am I supposed to pay my bill when my online login has been locked?! Then when I call Credit One they transfer me twice and have me run around through a verification process after verifying SEVERAL TIMES. This is ridiculous, I just want to pay my bill!

    Over 2 years ago Credit One sent me an offer for a $500 card. Obviously, I had bad credit and was trying to rebuild anyway I could so I applied and voila approved for a Visa. I was ecstatic! Fast forward and my always paying more than the minimums ON TIME every month has raised my limit to $1800, some given, some accepted with a fee. They also sent me an additional card this year (MC) with an $850 limit that will go up over time, making my utilization and available credit ration even higher. I'll pay $25 for that all day!!!

    When you have less than perfect credit, you get less than ideal terms. That's the way it is folks. These companies are taking a risk lending credit to people with blemishes on their record. And you expect them to not need to make their money? Imagine how many people default, of course there are fees. Look at ANY subprime lender and there WILL BE FEES. READ READ READ those terms people! They aren't there for you to just look at. Read and understand the CONTRACT you are signing. Some of these reviews are just laughable and make it painfully obvious on why your credit is poor.

    Now, in regards to customer service, I have had a few instances where I needed to contact them, and thankfully the Indians I got were not too hard to understand and were not rude to me. So maybe, their frustration comes from having to deal with people who cannot read the terms they agreed to all day, or pay late, or have whatever other excuse for being financially irresponsible and not diligent and downright OCD about watching your accounts like a hawk to rebuild your profile. And yes, ** happens, and sometimes we lose a job or something happens, but this is a subprime bank (NOT BOFA, NOT Chase, NOT Capital One, or any other Tier one banking institution), they most likely are not going to "work" with you, and that's their choice as a lender and that's your problem for choosing them over a higher institution.

    Nowhere in their terms that YOU agreed to does it say "we will work with you for payment arrangements if you incur financial hardship", and they do offer a credit protection plan if you are just generally unstable. And if it's that you couldn't get approved thanks to poor credit through a better bank, then maybe you should get a secured card instead until your situation improves. Just a thought. Also, I am a little worried for when the time comes to close the account, so TY to the poster with the Vegas number. Cheers!

    I had fraudulent activity on my account. I called to let the CSR know and she explains that I should destroy the card and she will send one in 7-10 business days, because they don't offer FedEx, and don't have it. I waited 3 weeks and no card. I called back and the new CSR, as the previous one, did not understand English and kept asking what he should do. I was appalled. He then put me on hold without saying so and hung up. I called back because now I don't know what is going on with the account. I received another agent, who does not speak English well, and I could barely understand them.

    I requested a supervisor who now tells a card was never sent. Jason was his name - id **. He explained that he can send me a card but he will have to charge me $25 for a new card, as well as FedEx charge. I asked was he serious, and he said "If you lost your card, that is the charge."

    I recently applied (3/19/2017) for a Credit One credit card online using the prequalify app and after prequalifying for a recommended credit card I was taken to their application site and which I applied and was approved for their Platinum Visa credit card. Moments later I checked the application status to see if the site could give me some information about my approval i.e the amount of my new credit line and how long would it take for me to receive my card. Website only stated that I my application had been approved and that I could check back to see when I would be expecting my card in the mail.

    However today (3/27/2017) I called and spoke to a representative who said my account was denied? And that she had no idea why the site said I was approved. This representative was very rude and barely spoke English and any question I asked her she replied with a totally different answer as if it was her first time on the job and she didn't have a clue how her company worked. Being left in the dark I decided to call back and talked to a new rep. This new representative quickly told me I was approved and congratulated me and told me to expect my card soon? Was I denied or approved? This company seems to be very unprofessional. Wish I would of did some research before I applied. Customer service is rude and lack knowledge in their company and should be retrained on proper customer service.

    I have had this cc with Credit One for four months now. I knew about all the fees and charges to initially get started with this card because I had read all the fine print. What I should have done was read all these reviews first. First two months went by fine and without issues. Although I didn't care for the express payment fee, I still paid bill thru it, usually way before due and over the amount due. Worked out fine, no problem, payment went thru by next day and had credit for it.

    Here's the catch! Last two months my card and website access were suspended due to what THEY THOUGHT was fraudulent activity. They failed to call me and inform me of them doing this beforehand to verify whether or not it's my doing. As most other legit companies will do! 4 times in 2 months this has happened. Naturally I make phone call and usually it's resolved pretty quickly and I can pay bill. But last month this action by them caused me to be late on payment, thus starting the barrage of harassing phone calls and trying to talk to reps that only half ass speak English because the CS center is outside the US and most of them don't know a rats ass from hole in the ground let alone customer service. I will just pay balance off thru the mail and close the account and cut up card. I'm fed up with them. So everyone saying STAY AWAY! Is very good advice and is a very astute and accurate statement.

    Not only did Credit One allow someone to make 2 large purchases on my account from a computer in another state, they also allowed the criminal to transfer money from my checking account into my credit card account to cover his/her purchases. All these just days after I made my regular payment. At no time did they think this was suspicious. It's because Credit One has NO fraud protection unless you buy their plan. I had to research it all and email the two companies where the purchases were made. I was able to stop one purchase. The other one is still on my account 6 weeks later. This person changed my address, phone number, and email as well.

    Each time I call customer service I get someone whose English is not even his or her second language. They are reading from a script and useless. I am locked out of online access, all the correspondence is going to the criminal, including the NEW card! I have no info at all. I called again today to try to make a payment. The impossible to understand man on the line tried to bully me into giving him all my new checking account info. He refused to give me the new account number so I can set up bill pay. "For security reasons". I guess the criminal wouldn't want me to have it.

    He insisted he had no number for a fraud department. I said "Ok just give me the payment address and I will send a check." He said he did not have the address. He insisted since I had checks for my new account I could just give HIM the info to make a payment. I said "I don't feel comfortable giving it to you after all I've had to go through to change everything over. I will find the address and send a check." He said "so you're not making a payment today?" I hung up. I honestly believe at this point that all this was an inside job. These people are criminals. Credit One was established to scam people.

    Sept. 2015 blocked out of my great standing account. Struggled for 2 months to be able to log in to pay on account. Ended up making payments via a 3rd party payer, due to the fact that calling credit company customer nonsupport yielded no help. After finally having the thrill of talking to an English speaking person, it was agreed that I had experienced fraud. At that point I was told there would be an investigation into the case. I paid my account 3rd party down to only a few dollars in the next few months. Supposedly someone had purchased car tires on my account that had triggered the fraud, tires that a UPS store in Loves Park IL. had called me in sept. 2015 for me to pick up. I live in central New York as I have for over 40 yrs., wouldn't order tires for pick up in IL... I had refused the tires as not mine.

    Well time went by and no contact from anyone at Credit One bank. Noticed in January of this year 2017 that my credit score took a dive. After looking into the reason why, I realized the charge for the refused tires wasn't adjusted out, worse was that credit one had charged off my account and sent it to collections. I had not as mentioned heard from credit one in over a year thinking they were still investigating fraud. I called and spoke to someone in fraud again, she said that she had no record of me ever calling credit one on fraud and that I had to start over again.

    So I sent info via fax as suggested and a few weeks later got a letter in the mail. Craziest letter I had ever received. They had the wrong account number listed on letter, named individuals on letter I had never heard of as on account, has me residing in several states from N.J. to Florida and back to where I have lived for the last 16 yrs. all at the same time. [I have lived my whole life in NY.] Also incorrect phone and e-mails that are/were supposed to be mine, I guess. So, I called again and spoke to someone and was told to send more documents via fax. Did so and heard nothing. Called again and was told that I would be hearing something by the end of the week, nothing... That was mid-February. Now near the end of march 2017 don't know what to do. In short, credit one bank is a disaster with no professional people that know how to satisfy or listen to what had always been an excellent customer. Beware all.

Unreal, I was robbed of my purse and my whole life was in there in November of 2016 and all my credit cards and information was stolen. I was also hurt during the robbery and have a police report. They sent me out a replacement card very quickly but, my limit was reached so I have not used the card in months prior to the theft. And, I was faithfully making payments before this happened to me. Anyways, I have called explained my issues and have made several payments to them in the meantime.

    TODAY they called about 25 times. I answer and explain to them again that if they continue to charge me fees and interest I will NEVER be able to pay them back. In the meantime since November they have SCREWED up taking my payment from my savings account at least 3 times, have not allowed me to make a payment the normal way I was before my life got knocked out of whack and here we are 140$ OVER my credit limit. WHY? What is going on with them? I have explained about 100 times now that I need help with these late fees etc. And, not once have they sent me to a department that can help me! I would love to pay the whole thing off and never use it again but, that is not possible in my current financial situation.

    I would like to keep this card in case of emergencies and make the minimum until I can get caught back up. Capital One has been great with helping me and I currently am in good standing with my account with them. This company is supposed to help you rebuild your credit and it's putting me into a worse hole ever! I don't understand why they cannot just simply STOP the fees and remove the ones now from the last 4 months. I might still not be paid off but, I would continue paying them every month if the new card they sent me was usable!

    It's insane how they get away with this! I am ready to start talking to attorneys if they don't try to straighten things out for me! If anyone knows of a class action suit against them I would be totally interested in suing at this point. Life situations happen and this place just does not care at all.

    This credit card is a scam. One: you sign up to make online payments and you can't get in the system to pay your bill. Two: they immediately charge you a late fee and send a new bill. Three: you call and tell the supervisor you're having a problem with the sign and miraculously your username and password work! Then you try it again and whatever the supervisor did to get you in the system it no longer works. Is it a coincidence that you suddenly can't make online payments when you were able to do so in the beginning? I can't understand why Capital One, Discover, Bank of America accepts all your payment as many times as you want during the month.

    This bank charges you a fee for an 'express' payment. They also charge you for a credit increase. If you don't take it they mail and email with the offer but your username and password 'can not be processed.' DO NOT GET THIS CARD. They make their money charging fees. Credit One does not have a convenient way for you to pay your bill like the rest of the banking world. Be prepared to write a check and mail it in the old fashioned way - way before the due date so you don't get charged 35.00 late fee or extra 10.00 for express so you won't have to pay the late fee.

The only thing I did get was a letter that stated Credit One Bank determined that the transactions were authorized and not fraudulent based on the fact that the purchases were made in your surrounding area. Well, NO ** SHIRLEY!! The thieves picked up the wallet and went shopping... Until the cards were shut down... DUH!

    You can not talk to anyone in the fraud department unless they decide to call you back "in two business days" which usually doesn't happen until you call them a few more times. After calling customer service several times, they sent out the affidavit and also required an identity theft police report. Portland does not have any such report and it is a total waste of time anyway, especially for $340.00 worth of credit card fraud. The officer I spoke to chuckled when he heard that they were requiring this. It took almost three months to finally get them to reverse the charges with still no real conversation from anyone in the fraud department, only mail. So, steer clear of this credit card company. Credit One Bank obviously has no respect for their long time good standing customers. What a waste of time!

    I made the mistake of not researching this company enough before applying. Please read the reviews posted here before thinking about dealing with this card. They are a huge scam and rip off. I finally paid the two cards off I opened and tried canceling them, which was not easy to say the least. Their customer service is the worst. They will keep charging you at every turn. Please find another card elsewhere. Only do this if you are TRULY desperate. Even then, still try and find every other means of support aside from this company. They will ruin your credit. HUGE MISTAKE!!! TURN BACK NOW!!!

    First of all, I failed to notice that the "Credit One Bank" logo was a direct copy (rip-off) of the "Capital One Bank". THAT was my mistake. In January of 2017, both credit card accounts were paid off in their entirety. Not one red cent was owed to this so-called 'bank'. In addition, neither card was used AT ALL since paying off the accounts. The trouble started when we received notification that we owed Credit One Bank $41 and change. REMEMBER... the account balances were ZERO, AND neither card had been used. This scam company attempted to charge us for "transactions" NONE WERE MADE, "late fees" LATE FEES WHEN NO PAYMENTS WERE DUE? and other miscellaneous charges that were not understandable.

    I made 7-calls to the toll-free numbers; I was hung-up on 5-times and left on hold twice. It must be said at this point that ALL calls were answered by personnel in India and the Philippines. All with very thick accents and hardly understandable. NO AMERICANS are being employed by this company. Finally, I called a number for the 'bank' that was not the standard customer service number, and talked to a man (very thick foreign accent) who canceled the cards (Thank you!) but then proceeded to yell at ME! It was rather humorous to listen to this foreigner, who was obviously struggling to use what little English language skills he had, try to be dominant in the phone conversation! Ha! Ha! Ha! The bottom line is: CREDIT ONE BANK is a direct rip-off of the CAPITAL ONE BANK (just look at the logos)! Credit One Bank is infamously dishonest (tried to steal $41 from us) and their so-called customer service is anything but. STAY AWAY from these THIEVES!

    Had card less than two months. Had to call customer service three times. Today I told them to cancel my card, that I didn't have time for the bs, every couple of weeks, he continued to be rude, overtalked me and told me to do the math. The last pay I made, it showed 0 balance but now they were charging me interest and the card was paid off. He argued with me over canceling it like I wanted. No time for this bs.

    Once I decided to get the offer nowhere did I see a 75.00 annual charge to open it. After calling every phone number they have on their website and the back of the credit card, I am unable to cancel my card and I wonder if anyone has a live phone number they can help me with. I am freakin' out now I have read some of these reports of charges they didn't make and the hell they are going through to dispute it and I want out and my 75.00 back!

    I have been a customer for almost a year. I use this card frequently to help my credit. I am now in the works of buying a house and I'll I need is a letter fax to me with a balance to finish the process. I have talk to them every day for a week 4 times a day and still do not have it. I now have to wait for my statement to come out before I can buy my house. So thank you Credit One for all your help.
