    Tried for an hour to cancel this scam and lost my temper and hung up. They juggled me from one rep to the other, all in an effort to discourage me from canceling this scam card. They ruined my credit score with their late fees. Please do not get taken by these bottom feeders, you have been warned!

    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. I closed this account.

    I opened an account with Credit One thinking it would be a good thing. I used the card for a $90.00 dollar purchase and when I got my bill I sent them a $50.00 payment and they sent it back with no reason so that right there made my payment late. So I resent it the second time in which they kept and raised my bill by $45.00, so I sent them another payment and they didn't accept it claiming that they had the wrong information. But after talking to the person on the phone come to find out they did have the right info. 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. So to all of you out there do not use Credit One ever. They purposely make you late so they can collect their late payment fee of $25.00 and run your debt to them up.

    I left a review below about my experience with Credit One. They eventually sent me a new card and wiped out my fraud charges. Cool. I was started to forgive them for the worst customer service ever. A week later from receiving my new card (which I've swiped a few times but nothing major), my online account was suspended. Unsure why, I gave it a day to resolve itself. The next day I check, there's a new Visa number with completely different numbers I have never seen before and a balance completely off from what it was when I received my replacement card. There was ZERO information about this on the account site except for $**account transfer. No pending transactions or anything.

    I never got any kind of notice of this. I called the rude rep once again named "John ID#**" and he claims I put in a fraud notice on March 21, 2016 which I never did. He wouldn't relay me any information except for anything he saw on his screen. He claimed I will be getting another card in the mail. For what??? My replacement card was fine. There were no fraud charges from what I saw and balance was correct. I can keep going on about what happened with this issue but I'll just leave it there. I am sick and tired of Credit One. I WANT TO CANCEL MY ACCOUNT BUT AM VERY AFRAID FROM READING PREVIOUS REVIEWS OF PEOPLE TRYING TO CANCEL. I just want to fix my credit.

    I'm doing everything correctly, taking care of past problems and trying to fix my mistakes. But Credit One is not allowing me to do that. They're keeping me from my goal of buying my own home or getting a better credit line from a REAL CREDIT COMPANY or just being financially stable. Credit One needs to be abolished. All of these innocent people being played for a fool do not deserve Robert DeJong and all his uneducated associates crooked business ethics. I read reviews from years and years ago on Credit One. How has nobody stopped this? I wish I knew ahead of time. Another financial mistake by me I guess...

    Try to play it off like they are Capital One. Crazy!! The part is I have good credit!! Checked everyone on the paperwork. No annual fee listed. Activated card after I used one time. Received a bill for 75.00 for annual fee. Very hard to get a hold of anyone and when you do, they are rude and can't barely speak English. Sent a small payment of 25.00 -- posted within 6 days. Mailed in a 535.00 payment and so far it has been 15 days, and it still has not posted. I confronted them about holding payments and they made a remark that they have to make sure the payment is valid before posting it!!! I just made a online payment of 400.00 and trust me there will be a small balance left to pay but I am done. I just received my Capital One Card and I will be happy to be rid of these people!!! STAY AWAY. They are horrible!!!

    PLEASE... I AM WARNING YOU, DON'T ACCEPT A CARD FROM THESE PEOPLE. I accepted a card because I HAD NO CREDIT! The information that came with the card stated that if I made my first five payments on time I would receive a credit line increase. I have never missed a payment, always paying more than the minimum due.

    After the sixth payment I noticed NO INCREASE! I called to INQUIRE!! They don't speak English well at all. The idiot requested a credit line increase WITHOUT MY PERMISSION TAKING POINTS OFF OF MY SCORE!! And he said it was declined. That is serious to someone trying to build excellent credit from scratch. I called back and demanded someone who could speak English and understand it. I ask him to explain the lie about getting an increase after you make your first five payments on time and the jerk replied, "I'm sorry for the information." I just got offered and approved for a Bank of America credit card so I know I have good credit. Screw these ripoffs and I hope you will run as fast as you can!

    I hate this stupid bank. The only reason I bought it was to transfer some money to my Bank of America card so I can close that account and pay off the Credit One. Instead after just using it once with a balance of $17.20, they said I had to pay annual as well which was about $100 or $90. After constant calls the technical guy gave me a deduction of $50 which you'd think would be great and everything but was so rude and was practically screaming at me because I had bad reception. I guess he thought I was doing it on purpose.

    So now I have a late fee, this $50 annual fee and I just paid $25 right now and I'm so pissed because I should have just been worrying about my Bank of America card. Can't wait to close this account so I can get back my credit score which dropped 8 points. Thank God I'm still in 670 and that's with student loans. So please, anyone that is reading this review hopefully you won't make the same mistake as I did and get this credit card because they are lying to you. :(

    This card disguises itself and attempts to confuse you with Capital One with their logo looking very similar. Unfortunately, I should have been more careful. Once I got charged a fee, I realized it was not Capital One. SO I thought well, I can use it for emergencies, anyways, I always pay before month to avoid fees. 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. There is a "No Thanks" button, but it does not work. Very shady company taking advantage of those struggling.

    Both my spouse & I had accounts with Credit One. We made payments online with a debit card from our Credit Union. Unbeknownst to us, the payments did not go through. Instead of contacting us, Credit One closed our accounts and we could not access our information online. We contacted them as soon as we found out. One person said the account was merely suspended. 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. I explained that we live in a rural area and that getting to our branch is a big hassle. The people we spoke with were definitely outsourced, which to us is so wrong! 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. But now we both have "closed by credit guarantor" on our credit reports with a balance still owing and not reflecting payments made.

    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.

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.

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 have always tried to pay my bills on time and I did keep this card a secret from my husband but my husband let me know today that they have been sending him information by email to him regarding my account. I am furious, I spoke with someone in their customer service and asked them how they got his email when I never gave them any information about him on my account and they could not give me a answer. It seems that I missed the payment on the 11th and that it was past due. I made a mistake and assumed that it was on auto pay which they said they don't have a paid the bill along with the late fee but was so upset that no one there could answer how they got my husband's info without my permission. What can I do about this?

    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.

They have now reported me late on the Credit Bureau for $74 after charging me $35 for each of the last months for late fees. They said they would call back from the corporate office in Vegas within 48 hrs and rectify the problem. That was over a week ago. Do not apply for this card.

    Yesterday, called Credit One on my Visa's due date to pay card balance off in full. Of course it's overseas, and it was a woman who kept asking me to repeat the card number and my debit card number over the phone. It costs $9.95 for a phone payment but figure it was worth it if it has a 0 balance. She assured me it had gone through. Called this morning, and went through my account info, and still had a 2,500 balance, and now a $35.00 late fee. Seems strange to me. The customer service person yesterday didn't understand English enough to get my information correct, and yet every phone payment in the past goes through without problems, and I can use the following day. They wouldn't waive my late fee, so it was my balance, the 9.95 phone charge, plus 35.00 late fee. Read all the other reviews, and will watch for suspicious fees and charges. If it happens I will dispute them, and report to the FTC and other agencies.

    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.

    Then out of nowhere there are 9 charges from a different state I've never even been to!!! I contacted customer service and while I don't like to call people idiots, these idiots are idiots. They pretty much answer each question from a scripted line and provide no personal help AT ALL. Had to make multiple phone calls just to try and figure out what was going on because they had no idea how to help. Also were very rude in the process. They sent my fraudulent charges for investigation claiming they will close the account. Come to find out more charges occurred. My online account was suspended and was back up. Come to see there are many charges that are not mine, cash advances pulled out, and a big balance. The customer service rep had nothing to say but I will get a new card and my account will be close. Will be? You guys claimed it would be closed a week ago. Still in the process of having it being resolved.

    I've caught some representatives lying in the process. One claiming she did not know any supervisors as later in the conversation she admitted to knowing her supervisors but did not want to tell me. Another claims there were not fraud charges until after looking at my account. And they were rude back to me. These employees have zero sense of customer service, sad to say it's because they're from poor countries earning a living.

    First off I received the offer, Sat at a table with my boyfriend now husband, with a lighted magnifying glass and we read online at a time to make sure it really was no annual fee. The offer was pre-approved, etc. I do not actually pay my bills, he does. He is my payee because I am disabled. I have been in and out of the hospital so much he does it. He has paid 10$ fee to make sure payee t is on time then they charge a late fee. Plus they charged us 19$ for an authorized user card then waived it because he was my husband. They waived it then charged an authorized user card fee again the next year. They offered us a credit increase then hit us up for 14$ and change charge. If we asked them for the increase I would get that. But they offered us an increase because we pay good etc. naturally good customer get increases over time on all my cards and I do not pay a fee.

    The other problem is every time I call the system takes me to India over VOIP. It's delayed and all messed up cause it's not fast enough or secure so I only want a representative from the US to touch my stuff. So I ask every time to be transferred to a US representative. 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.

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.

    We have 3 credit cards with this company and they flagged one and won't give any verbal information to us. State that we requested this! When asked how we stated this they won't tell us! Say that all information regarding this account needs to be done by written letters. I asked "if you can't do anything without us writing to you then how did the account get flagged?" States that we requested it! I asked "do you have something in writing from me and if so I would like that sent to me so I can see it!" They are unable to do that without written request! So they flagged a card with a 0 balance then charged an annual fee then an interest charge!

    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. But this bank is a mess and needs to be cleaned up.

I requested to speak to a supervisor and that supervisor John (probably not his real name) ID#** said he would ask the main office if they could ask the credit bureaus to delete the file. I told him that I had been assured so many times by different supervisors that my file would be deleted that his promise to "ask" was insufficient and he was breaking a contract I had with their company.

The next day the money was not available to me, when I called I got someone from India who told me they would be available later in the day. When this didn't happen I called again, I got a very rude representative once again in India who then told me I didn't do an express payment even though I had a confirmation # and a screenshot. His rudeness escalated as he continued to argue with me until he hung up on me.

    I then checked my account online to see that they refunded the express fee payment of 9.95 but kept my 500.00 not only screwing me out of getting a hotel room and rental car but also taking my 500.00. I was already in a difficult situation, as of 5 days later now and my money is still not available to me and I just don't have words how much worse this made things for me but I will never forget it.

Only to be told it wasn't the right account which I know I made payments from this account. So I send in MY 2nd account info.

    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. An advice, if you (Credit One) are currently outsourcing your customer service, try at least to get a company that could bring a positive input to your bank because this is not a way to retain or to gain new customers.

    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.

If you use card for a hold at a hotel it takes them 7 days to release funds even though the hotel released the hold 1 day later. If you don't pay by certified funds they won't credit your account for 5 days. The FTC should investigate them and throw the owners in jail!

    I would not recommend this card to anyone! I received a card from them with the understanding NO ANNUAL FEE & 1500 LIMIT. I activated the card & put it in a drawer for a rainy day. A few months later I get a bill in the mail stating I owe $138.50 and my credit limit is only $400!! I would never apply for a cc that has an annual fee!! Never!! I called the number on the statement & got disconnected before I could to speak to anyone, this went on several times. I then called another number I had located 18778253242, reached someone who could barely speak English, and after some haggling was able to get the account canceled without any charges. I was unable to receive any kind of verification such as an email stating this other than the man's word and since they lied before, I can only hope this doesn't affect my credit!! My husband had the same problem!! Be aware.

    I also have the same grievance as some of the other complaints I've read here. I put in my routing and bank account number to make online payments only to have it rejected for invalid/no account forcing me to make payments over the phone paying the 9.95 processing fee. The first time I had no idea it was rejected and wasn't notified until weeks later that my payment was way overdue. Trying to even log onto my online account was a hassle at times as well. They eventually suspended it and closed my account. I only used my card maybe twice. I was approved for 1200 dollars and thankfully only used about 400 of it so my ending balance was nothing outrageous. What's outrageous is this company's practices and seriously how hard it is to understand the non fluently English speaking associates in their customer service department.

    Do not ever agree to work with this company!!! I unfortunately decided to open a credit card with this company. A few months into it, they cancelled my ability to view my account online. This means, I cannot view my account frequently to make sure that it stays correct. I also never use this card. Very seldomly I will charge one or two things, just to help with me credit. Since then, bank account has been wrong many many times, and a few times I have not been able to get it fixed.

    The customer service is absolutely terrible! I have even had customer service employees hang up on me when I asked for them to explain a charge they have put on my card for no reason. I have had this card at one balance, and called two days later and the card was $200 higher balance. This is without me EVER using it!!! (and this is not the interest, I checked!) This company is scamming people and does not even care! Also, since they have made it to where I can't log into see anything online, I cannot make a payment online. They say I must do this over the phone, or mail in cash. Umm hello?! I am not mailing in cash to have to record of payment!! And if I pay online, they charge me to do so!!! This is a SCAM! Also, my statements never add up! They tell me the only way they can make it to where I see anything on my account online, or "real time" is if I file litigation against them! SERIOUSLY?!

    I made the mistake of acquiring this credit card to help raise my credit score. I received the card and was going to use it for gas one afternoon. The card was declined. I went on and used another source of payment and called Credit One to see what was going on. They said everything was ok, that they did not understand why my card was declined. I just put the card in purse and never attempted to use it again.

    A few weeks later I received a BILL from Credit One of over $200.00!!! It was the annual fee and late charges and finance charges from that annual fee. I called them to see what was going on with this and they informed me that I had made "purchases" I told them that the card has never worked. They told me that I was lying that there were multiple charges on my account. I told them that they needed to send me an itemized statement of these purchases and they refused saying that it cost to much to send those statements. I turned them into the credit card bureau (I forget the name of the company) for being fraudulent. They investigated and say that I still need to pay these fees. I am completely disgusted that they can get away with this!! So now I am stuck with not a $200.00 bill but it is now almost $700.00.

    As I read a lot of issue about Credit One by customers it the same problem that I'm going through with their services. I just started at the ending of December 2015, and they're already charging me the annual fees. ( I'm suggesting) My Credit limit is $300 but I only used $225.00. When I got my first bills online it was $303.50. Called the customer service to question about my bill. I didn't get any answer from them but being pressured by making the payment for my bill they couldn't answer my first question and I could barely understand them. I asked to speak with a supervisor. He's already given me a hard time by saying there no supervisor then the lady answer and said she's the supervisor but she was yelling at me already to make a payment for my bill. (I'm not sure if she's the supervisor) So I asked the same question about my bill that still haven't been answer yet and she hung up on me.

    Credit One really have poor customer service and not a good company. I had made a payment for my bills and I can't access to their website. But this is not right at all if they can't do their job right as a customer service and giving me a lot of runaround by speaking to three of them and still didn't answer my question and I don't deserve to be yelled at by a supervisor if she is a supervisor.

    Charging late fees when none are there and trying to put payments for months prior instead of the current month paid. 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 told them I had my bank statement to show them and unless I could prove that they accepted it then they were not going to take my bank statement.

And apparently, it is! I think it unnecessary to be called on the phone by someone especially since there are far too many phone scams going about. I would not recommend Credit One to anyone. They seem to want to ride your ass.

    I have been on phone for over 3 hours with these morons. They froze my account that has a limit of $300.00 & I recently paid them $159.99 that including the $9.95 fee to rush payment in which I had plenty of time to send in. I just figured it would be better just to pay the fee to ensure they got it. They got it alright then put the freeze on my account. They stating they needed to verify my accounts that I have paid them with. Ummm duh, you get my money, freeze my account & NOW I need to verify other accounts I have paid you with? UNFREAKINBELIEVABLE!!!

    Yes, we ended up in 3 way calls to my other accounts & it was all verified they were my accounts but still not good enough. Then I told the foreign joke that I would just send CERTIFIED payment to them & close my account, that I have never been treat this way or like a criminal as I have this morning. He told me, "Ok but will still be a block on your card till we verify other info." I hung up! NEVER do business with these outsourced morons. I wished I would of checked them out better!!!

    In Sept 2015 I called Credit 1, reported my card loss (lost purse). I never used card. Didn't realize it was a Credit 1 card. I was waiting for my new Capital 1 card. I spoke to an Oliver and he said there would be no charges till I received my replacement card and made a purchase. I never received the new card nor made a purchase. In Dec 2015 I see on my credit report a late past due amount. CI tried calling them to tell them I don't have the card -- never activated it. How can I owe on a card I don't have. How can they put late fees on my credit report on a card I never received? It needs to be corrected. I will never recommend Credit 1. Also they need to get English speaking representatives.

    I accepted Credit One's "PRE-APPROVED OFFER" for a VISA card with an initial $300 limit (actually not much for a "Platinum" card like the others I have, but I was curious since I've read so many negative reviews about them). As stated in their agreement, there was a $75 initial fee, so the available credit was $225 which I've used regularly on a monthly basis... Paid the balance(s) in full monthly or always much more than the minimum(s) to save interest charges... I never do Express Pay, just standard payments that have always posted immediately and funds have ALWAYS been available in 3-4 business days...

    Generally, I've had a very good experience with this card (e.g. "you get what you pay for" -- it's not like AMEX or Capital One cards, their interest rates are higher (though you can avoid them by paying the balance(s) in full each month) and the starting credit limits are much lower, but they report accurately and timely to the credit bureaus so that's helpful in having another source for positive credit scoring, right?). They do offer credit limit increases for a nominal fee, but my experience was I got the increase based on an excellent payment history -- for 9-10 months l ALWAYS paid on time and carried no or low balances and recently was rewarded with a significant credit limit increase just before the holidays, perfect timing!

    I recently changed my name legally and have spent three months trying to get Credit One to change the name on my card and my account. Finally after a lot of back and forth, I had to put everything in writing three times. The response I received six weeks later was that my legal name is over the 21 character credit card via a letter and was told to send ANOTHER letter with a legal name under 21 characters including spaces. I called Credit One and was told they would change my name but only if I paid a $25 service fee. So Credit One will not change my name without me paying a fee and of course they won't issue a new card without me paying another fee. This credit card company are a bunch of ripoff artists. Is this even legal?

    After applying for this card I read several negative reviews. I called to find out how to cancel my application to get just what I read online. A RUDE rep that I could not understand stating that the card had been shipped. Upon getting the card I waited close to 2 weeks before activating it. 1 week later I created an online account to determine that I had a payment due date in 24 hours. I called immediately to determine why I was being billed so soon. I was told my billing cycle starts the day the card ships not the day it's activated.

    I was told that my payment date would be changed to start effective my activation date and updated in 24 to 48 hours to be bombarded with phone calls from the billing department for a payment. I spoke to 3 agents and a Supervisor and no ones information was the same. There was a late fee applied for $25 to my account and all I can get is apology for the agent giving misinformation. This Company is pathetic. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone. And I recommend that everyone read reviews and take heed to the information provided. This Company is Horrible!!!

    I have five credit cards. Four of my cards came automatically with the new chip-card. I had to call none of them but Credit One. When the call was made to request a new chip-card to replace the standard card I had, they told me it would cost $25.00 for the new card. None of my other cards had a charge for issuing me the new card. Citi Card, Merrick and Capital One were glad to send me out the updated chip-card free of charge and without a request. Why does Credit One force me to request the updated card and on top of that, attempt to charge me $25 for it? I told them not to send the new card.

    After hanging up with them, I destroyed the card and have no interest in doing business with them any longer. I am now looking to transfer the balance on my Credit One to another card just so I don't support the company by allowing them to profit from my interest. I never did understand why I can make a phone payment on all my other cards at no charge and yet Credit One charges nine dollars and some change to do so. They charge me money to give them money!!!

    I received a new credit card at the end of November from Credit One Bank. I'm trying to build my credit back up and this was an option that was presented to me. Upon receiving the card I activated it and the automated service told me it was ready to go. So I immediately took to shopping for the holidays. The card was declined at every turn. I since have been on the phone with this company over 5 separate times, and every time they told me that they would send in the paperwork and it would be activated in 48-72 hours. It never was. I finally had it. I called them to refund me my first payment of $25 for the $60 activation fee and to cancel the card. I basically was called a liar by the person on the other end of the line of the last time that I tried to use my card.

    I told them that I wanted to speak to someone stateside and they told me that those offices were closed! This was at 10 AM MST on a Wednesday; obviously they're not closed! I ended the conversation by demanding my money back, the card be wiped clean, and the card to be cancelled. This other person told me that they would wipe it clean but not refund me my money. I'm completely done with this organization!

After a month and a half of being a customer, called to ask why my online access was blocked, I spoke to a person in a foreign country and could barely understand him, he told me that I needed to send them copies of my DL and utility bills because my account needed to be verified. I asked to speak to a supervisor and the representative said that I was going to get the same answer that he gave me.

    After 15 mins or so, I spoke to a supervisor and she told me that my personal info needed to be verified and I needed to send them copies of papers that they requested, even though I was never notified of all this, she threatened to put a hold on the card as well. Needless to say, account was closed and I told her that I would be calling back to pay off my balance. In the end, they lost a new customer, not only for them being rude but for lack of communication. I will not be doing business with this company again nor do I recommend them to anyone.

    My wife and I have been a Credit One customer since 2012. I have never missed a payment, and have always paid early. Went to use my wife's card 2 days ago and found it was declined. We call up the company and they were rude to my wife when we were trying to find out what happened. They said I was behind. I told them I have never been behind and gave them every single date I paid them. I paid them on November 3rd for our 22 due date, and I paid them on November 25th for our December 22 due date.

    They took both those payments and combined them for November instead of applying the second payment to December. They assessed a fee and shut our account off. Keep in mind they said we were late. By this time if we were late, which we were not, it was by 4 days! 4 days and they shut you down. They were unwilling to fix the problem, and still asked me for December payment. Unbelievable! Customer service was horrible, and people were rude. Don't do business with them.

    I have had this card for about 2 years and all was not great but ok. I recently attempted to make a payment through an E-check but later realized that my securities account does not authorize E-check payments. I called Credit One and explained to them about the e-check payment. Then my spouse made the payment for me from her account. The payment cleared and a month later, I realized my account was suspended. I was told that they needed a letter regarding the initial payment and why it bounced. I repeatedly asked for a fax number and finally on my 3 or 4 call, I received one. I faxed my letter but did not hear anything from them. I called and was told they never received and could I fax. I again faxed the letter and two weeks later, I checked my account to find that it's still suspended.

    I called and was told that the letter I faxed was the wrong letter and now they need another letter because the payment was made on my spouse's account which didn't have my name on it. However, they cleared the payment. If there was an issues with my name not being on the account, why would they have cleared the payment and not flagged the payment and perhaps contacted me. NOOO, they cleared the payment, suspended my account a month later. Three months later I'm still dealing with this issue and they still want to charge me the $9.99 phone fee. My payment history with this company has been stellar. I have major credit cards that we paid the same way using my spouse's account and not one of them has had an issue. This company is horrible and would not recommend them to anyone.

    I'm a young adult, and I wanted a credit card to build credit. So I decided to get a Capital One card (highly recommend) and a Credit One Bank credit card. Since I'm dumb, I hit my credit limit of 300 dollars, which I'm trying to pay off, and I missed a few payments (yes I am an idiot for doing that), but now they call me AT LEAST 5 or 6 times A DAY on the week leading up to payment day. Even yesterday, they called me 6 times before 12 PM. It's borderline harassment! Plus their mobile app is horrible (it won't let me pay my bill or even view my account on my phone). I also looked where they were located, and found out that they're based out of Vegas, which leads me to believe that they try to attract people with gambling problems, so they can get rich while the gambler loses all his money. This company is just a scam! I don't even like to write reviews, but this company is so horrible, I signed up on this website just to give Credit One a bad review!!!

    It took 3 months to get a new card, my old one expired. I had to call and give them my address at least 4 times. I was told in November I wouldnt have to pay a bill until January by two different customers service reps. I even questioned them and they assured me of it. Then I started getting calls saying I was late on my payment. I asked to speak to a supervisor, who I know, think is just another employee, and was told they dont know why I was told that. I can tell you why because my account even had a due date of 01/16 at one point. I ask did they keep calls on file and was told no, but it says calls may be recorded when you talk to the reps.

    Had the card for three years and was treated like a bum when I was told something by their reps and I never had a late payment till then. I was hung up on, put on hold for long periods, lied too. One rep asked me my name and address 3 times in less than 5 minutes. I could really go on but whoever owns this company obviously doesn't care about this because I see its not just me.

    I applied for the card thinking it was Capital One, not Credit One. I am unfamiliar with this company and called shortly after realizing they were not the bank I thought they were. In hopes to cancel my application as I did not want the card. While my wait time was minimal, the representative that answered had such a thick accent, I could barely make out that his name was Marco. I explained that I wanted to cancel the application as I did not want the card. When he asked for the name on the application, I told him my married name, but the apparently had my maiden name on file. I explained that was not the name I used for the application, and he told me it didn't matter, that was the name on file and I couldn't use my married name. I then asked to get rid of the application and I didn't want the card, he gave me a bit of a hard time asking why didn't I want the card.

    I explained I thought they were another bank, and that it was very misleading of them to use such a similar name and near identical logo. He told me he canceled my application and when I asked for confirmation that it was canceled whether by email or confirmation for the call, he told me there was no way to provide such information and that I shouldn't worry because it was a recorded line. I expressed that credit information is very sensitive and I have every right to ask for proof that the application was cancelled. He again told me it was cancelled and he couldn't give me a number. He was extremely rude during the whole call and I felt it's only right to let others know of such horrible practices.

He processed to get loud with me in a very thick and unintelligible accent saying that there was nothing he could do about it and everyone has to pay it.
