    I have tried to return items purchased in store twice and the card does NOT allow returns. After being on the phone for over an hour and the Wal-Mart manager having to talk to a supervisor they said they would credit the card. My statement came and the credit was not returned on my card. The card company tried to say it is Wal-Mart's fault! NEVER use this card! I will be reporting them.

    On June 23, 2015 I received a call from Credit One Bank that my payment was past due. I explained that I was getting money in the next day or two and I would pay it then. The guy said I have your bank account information here and I will set up a debit from your account. I told him "No. You Do NOT have my permission to debit anything from my account! I will pay it in 2-3 days." He started talking and I couldn't understand anything he said so I asked for someone from the US.

    He put a guy on that clearly was not from the US although his accent was less than the first guy. He proceeded to tell me that my payment was 9 days late and WAS IN COLLECTIONS!!! I said what reputable company puts someone in collection after 9 days?!?! I had to explain to him several times that I would pay it in 2-3 days. He also said he would set up a debit from my bank and I gave him the same response.... "NO." I will pay this account off as soon as I can and I will close it! I am done with this bull they are dishing out! DO NOT USE CREDIT ONE BANK EVER!!!!

    Credit One has the worst customer service I have ever encountered!!! Trying to communicate with them is a nightmare. They give you a number for customer service and it re-routes you to every dark corner of the company. I asked transfer me to the right person. They said they can't and to dial the number again- another re-route. It took four calls and a few different supervisors just to close this account. That is ridiculous. Each and every time I've had to speak with them has been a nightmare. I'm guessing their security is not so hot either. I can't tell you how many time odd charges were added to my bill and then to go through the hellish process of having to speak to someone. It is horrible. Find a different card company it would be worth your time. Credit One doesn't deserve to exist as far as I'm concerned.

    Like others, I am trying to rebuild my credit, way too many when I was younger and I spent every last dime on those 14 cards and spent the last 10 years paying them all back. So it's been a while since I've opened any accounts, I kept getting offers in the mail, etc. Finally I received one from Credit One, they are offering me $300 - good enough to start over, or at least I thought. I opened this account back in Feb 2015, they approved me for $1000 (way too much, but I planned on only using it for small purchases and making monthly payments to show I am able). The first purchase I made was 2 months later, at dinner out with friends and it was declined!! I thought to myself, I did activate this one right? So I shrugged it off and waited to call till the next day.

    I called in and was told that my account was past due and the balance was $97. I said to the man on the phone "interesting, because I haven't used it since I activated it over 2 months ago!" After calmly arguing back and forth for a few minutes he finally said they would "waive" this fee of past due, etc, etc. I thought to myself, I should just close it now because if this is how I'll be treated I don't want any part of it. Boy should I have listened to that inner voice of reason! It's now June and I have been charged almost $200 in open ended fees that I'm not really sure are "real." I have made countless phone calls to straighten this out but I am never reassured when I hang up the phone. I will tell you this: lesson learned - next time I want to apply for a credit card, I will read reviews FIRST!!!! Would have saved me on this one!!!

    I have had my card exactly a year, applied back in June 2014 and sent the card with a credit limit of $300. It was the first card I had in a long time (I have nothing really bad on my credit. No bankruptcy, no loans in default, nothing). I paid my bill early every single month and sometimes more than I needed to. 6 months came along and they gave me a $100.00 increase up to $400. I called and was assured that a big increase would happen at 1 year as long as I continued to make my payments early, etc. I did so and here I am at a year.

    I went and requested an increase and got a notice online saying that I don't qualify because somehow my credit score isn't high enough for a credit limit increase even though my limit just got doubled with my Victoria's Secret card. I am calling BS on this one! I am so mad right now. I was told something and they don't follow through. I would like the increase to be able to buy larger things and pay them off over a few months’ time. Thanks a lot Credit One.

    This card has an extremely high APR and annual fee. The thing is though it is not meant to be a top notch Credit Card. This help rebuild credit and after my bankruptcy 2 years ago it has been very helpful. Guess what the trick is? Pay the card off monthly. You should with any card. I see so many complaints on here that I felt compelled to right a good review. If this is the only card you can get, other than a secured card, there is a highly good chance your credit sucks. This company is making money for sure off the noncredit worthy people, but all for profit businesses are there to make money off of you. At least this one helps rebuild credit just like they advertise. If you have bad credit and can make the monthly payment, I would get this card if I were you.

    Our experience with Credit One had been excellent prior to the incident; excellent repayment history. We made a 50$ mistake by going up above the credit limit purely by accident. As a result, they granted the transaction above the limit, but then sent derogatory information to my credit reporting agency. I was furious -- We are good customers, and if they declined the transaction like they were supposed to we wouldn't have our credit report dinged. We realize that our overage was our fault, but they let it happen too following up with a credit ding to last for years. Credit One reverse our score ding!!

    Most of these complaints are whining about the fees Credit One is charging. I thoroughly and carefully read over the first letter I received from them and the fees that they would charge me were clearly stated. I did not like most of the fees, but when everyone else is denying you, you can't be picky. I knew before I accepted their offer exactly what every fee would be and that this company was Credit One and not Capital One. I had no trouble activating the card or making my first payment.

    Capital One keeps sending me offers, but when I call they continue to deny me. For someone who could not even get an secured card due to bad credit, I was astonished that this offer was for real. It did take a long time for the card to get to me, about 3 weeks, but I was just happy to have a chance to rebuild my credit. I have made one payment so far with no issues but have not had to deal with customer service, which also was a big complaint, since I have only had the card for a month. Thank you ** for your good reviews. People... just read over the offer completely, pay your bill on time and you won't have these problems.

    This credit card preys on people with less than good credit, which is what I was getting out of college. Look forward to $8/month fee, $10 fee to make a payment, $25 late fee, $25 fee to replace a lost or stolen or overused card. Most want to get you a credit card easy and fast so you can start using it again… Never heard of a bank charging to give you new card. Likely people in a position to use this bank aren't scouring the net looking for reviews, but hopefully someone comes across this and decides that it just isn't worth it.

    Credit One Bank is like some other banks for people with no good credit. Since I was unfortunate to lose my good credit I applied after I received offer in the mail. I was approved. I KNEW WHAT WAS GETTING INTO HIGH INTEREST, LOT OF FEES. But when you have BAD CREDIT you gotta pay for that. No one is forced to open account. Since I have the card (3 years now) I never have any problem. I pay my bill online in 20 seconds. They always debit my checking account next day. All good. It's true they increase your credit limit for fee but again you don't have to. It is your choice, nothing obligatory.

    I signed up for a $1,000 credit card. They charged $75 yearly fee to start, long before I even got my card. After I got my card I bought some things and got a statement in the mail as expected. When I signed online to pay, it said Past Due Alert. Apparently there was a payment period after the $75 yearly fee had been charged, which I never got a mailed statement for. So I was charged a $25 fee.

    Add to that, payment on an account that is past due is charged $9.50 for what they call express payment. I asked if it's possible to make a payment without paying the $9.50, and they said no. I asked about setting up auto pay while on the phone. And the nice lady on the other end informed me that they do not have auto pay because it might cause my bank account to overdraft. In other words they make it more difficult for me to make payments as a way of helping me! Crazy. Should be illegal what they're doing.

Then we get bill for $75, then he says it is an annual fee that says minimum payment $25, and god forbid you are a day late on the $25 payment, because $75 annual fee goes to well over $100, and then even when you cancel said card with the understanding that the card has in fact "been cancelled" and "zero balance", as well as, zero fees accruing.

    3-months later he gets umpteen calls a day and a bill for nearly $200. Then the lady on the phone today says she can "cancel it" (wait it was already cancelled back in March), she says she can stop the phone calls, and stop the credit bureau reports, which by the way are now ruining my husband's credit that he has never had in the first place.

    It is nearly impossible to avoid paying interest charges because interest charges begin the day of your purchase or cash advance. You cannot pay online ahead of your statement and you cannot pay online to have a credit balance. Basically, Credit One credit cards charges interest immediately after a purchase or cash advance. The word "Credit" in Credit One should be changed to "Loan Shark" One Card. Since I cannot make advance payments online, I made an advance payment using Bill Pay with online banking. I have yet to see what happens if I do that.

    I had another credit card with another provider, $300 limit. I was using it and paying the minimum +$25 to establish a good credit history. When this application arrived, I figured why not, I'll use both sparingly and have some diversity in payments. When the card arrived, it was followed a couple of days later with a billing statement for the initial card fee. I knew this going in, but the bill showing up when you may not have even received your card yet was a bit absurd.

    Fast forward to the first billing cycle of using the card. I log into the website and try to add my checking account for online payments. It rejected the ABA Routing number saying it needs one starting in a 0, 2, 3 or 6. I found it odd since mine starts with a zero and I entered it that way. I tried two more times to the same result, then gave up thinking it might be an issue with being on a mobile device. Turns out it wasn't since I got the same result from a desktop.

    Meanwhile I can't get in contact with them and a paper bill shows up - with a late fee already on it. How are you going to send a paper bill that obviously was created and mailed AFTER the due date had passed since the fee was placed on it? I'm planning to continue to try to get in touch with them, pay off the card and cancel. I'll be reporting to the BBB as well. I will NOT be paying the late fee. If I can't, then I'll file a dispute with the credit bureau and let mediation handle it.

    I've seen several negative reviews regarding Credit One card, but applied anyway in hopes of approving my credit. I was approved for $500.00 and was very surprised, as my credit was pretty bad (602). And was ready to pay a $99 membership fee, but as of yet I have not charged and I've had the card for a little over a month. My first bill was $30 on $117 balance, but after setting up my online account, which was very easy, I made a payment of $50. I checked my account this morning and discovered that they raised my credit limit to $700. As someone who really took his credit for granted and put myself in this mess, with my low score am very thankful to Credit One for giving me an opportunity to get back on track.

    For those people who are dissatisfied with the company, just remember you applied for the card because of your bad credit situation and sometimes we pay for our mistakes - high interest, high fees. Like all credit card companies if you make your payments on time and they are happy and you remain in good standards.

    So I applied for a credit card through Credit One Bank. I hardly used my card and before the due date of the 6th I get a phone call one week ahead pressuring me to pay. Then online they take 4 business days to withdraw the money out of your account to pay or pay a 9.95 express payment. Sometimes it takes longer than 4 business days to post and it seems like they intentionally prolong the posted payment past your due date to charge you a late fee. I finally made a full payment of $300 something dollars so I can use it on vacation. Once it posted I couldn't use it because they cancelled it and I couldn't even use my card and they got a full payment and once again it posted past the 6th and was charged another late fee.

    So with a closed account I couldn't log in to make a payment but was still charged late fees. They had cancelled my account because of two returned payments because they took so long to withdraw from my account without any notification saying it was in their disclosures. If I had known, I would have made just a minimal monthly payment on a closed account that I can not use. Then paying the closed late fee of $48, I couldn't log in to make a payment so I called. I ensure with the customer service representative if there was any processing fee and she told me "no", not for the state of Colorado. I transferred some money into my other checking account to make sure I had exactly that amount to pay off the account but it didn't post yet.

    When I called a week later to pay off the $48 they now told me I had to pay $90 dollars because of another late fee plus a $9.95 processing fee. I was so angry that they will charge me another late fee for a closed account and a processing fee when the week before the agent told me the state of Colorado doesn't require a processing fee. Because I'm rebuilding my credit I had to pay them so I called back later on that day with a new agent and she waived the processing fee when I questioned her about some states having processing fee and others don't. So she said I didn't have to pay a processing fee. I wanted to pay it full so I tried with a credit card and they told me they don't accept credit cards so I told her I would have to make a split payment with two different checking accounts to make the full payment and she said ok.

    So I paid $45 with one and then the rest with the other. Unfortunately the second payment got declined because THEY can't accept two payments within a day. So she asked me to call back the next day to pay off the rest. So the next day I called to make the rest of the payment they told me I had to pay a processing fee. When I questioned him about state specific processing fee, he told me they did me a favor by waiving these fees and that it's not the state you live in but the state they do business out of so I had to pay regardless.

    I told him it wasn't my fault if I tried to pay it the day before when there was no processing fee in full and they couldn't accept two payments in a day. So he told me to mail a payment but I don't have checks and their website doesn't allow me to go pay. Overall, this company has been a hassle to deal with and I feel that they have pulled every resource to charge me with any fees they can think of and any excuses. I've been told so many different disclosures they had that as a customer I'm so confused. I would never ever get a card with Credit One. They have no customer service skills and very hard to deal with. They also treat their customer like crap.

    I've had my Credit One visa card for a year now. I've always paid it on time every month. I also pay more than the minimum due. They increased my credit limit over the year a couple of times. My complaint is that the interest on this card is really high and once they increased my credit limit that interest went way up so I'd pay my bill on time and by the time it came due again it was already over the credit limit. That's when they began to call and harassed me to pay it before the due date. Their customer service is awful as well!!! You can barely understand what they're saying. Their accents are so bad it doesn't sound like English. And forget about asking to speak to the manager - his is just as Bad! I plan to pay off this balance and rip up this card!

The free payment option on the website says right there it takes "roughly 4 days" to show in your account so if you're getting late fees choose the expedited option or submit your payment soon - this is not their fault. No payment problems at all. No late fees as I pay early enough "like it says" to do. Overall a great experiences.

It is all about FEES. A $250 increase costs you $20 or so. Annual fee is $99 dollars. If you're new, just wait and they'll charge you. Monthly service fee is also charged. I am closing this account after my last payment as these people are WORSE than The Merchant of Venice.

    First of all, this company misleads consumers into believing they are receiving a CAPITAL ONE card since the logo and font are identical. I didn't even realize it was a CREDIT ONE bank card until I received it in the mail. Secondly, the notice of the bogus $75 annual fee is intentionally in microscopic writing and applied immediately before anyone even gets the chance to activate it or use it.

    I accepted the pre-approved offer on April 23, 2015, received my card a week later, activated it on May 19, 2015, and then have NEVER used it! I then received a phone call on June 8, 2015 from someone in Florida informing me that I had an overdue balance of $101.49, which I found to be shocking, considering I had never used it. I was then informed that there was a $75 annual fee applied to the account and that a $25 late fee was also applied because the annual fee payment was overdue.

    I was livid and when I asked about my statement informing me of the payment, I was told it was sent to me on June 4th, JUST 4 DAYS PRIOR. When was there ANY opportunity to pay this balance to avoid the ridiculous late fee? The customer service department is incomprehensible, rude, and offensive. I attempted to just pay the $101.49 AND the ridiculous $9.95 fee to process the payment over the phone (with the intentions of immediately canceling the card). The CSR told me "You have insufficient funds."

    While he verified the account number I gave him, I pulled up my bank account on my computer and was staring at PLENTY of money to cover the charge, so I told him to run the card again. He did, and then proceeded to tell me, "You don't have any money." He insisted that I give him another bank card number and that if the balance was not taken care of "today", there would be another late fee applied. I became extremely suspicious, hung up, and immediately called my bank.

    Unbeknownst to me, my bank froze my debit card due to suspected fraudulent use that morning (someone in China had successfully charged my account for $157.97 and on the second attempt to charge my account with $257, my bank put a freeze on the card, thank goodness). Regardless, the CSR should have used less offensive language rather than "you don't have any money"!!!

    After visiting my bank, canceling my debit card, and activating a new one, I called Credit One customer service back to pay the balance. After voicing my complaints to this CSR, he was able to lower the balance to $50, which I was happy with, however, after the transaction was complete, he THEN tells me that because he did me this "FAVOR" of lowering the balance, I no longer had the option to cancel the card for a full year!!!

    I am writing a complaint to the BBB, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission and Capital One and I encourage everyone else to do the same, otherwise CREDIT ONE BANK will continue to mislead American consumers into believing they are getting a credit card from a reputable company like Capital One!!!

    I have a CREDIT ONE BANK CARD, and it is a PAIN. I have a balance of $25.00 on my account and when I have tried to use it it was denied several times. When I called their response was "There is no problem with your card - must be the company you are using it at." I told the gentleman (who spoke horrible English) "I tried to use it 3 different locations including cash withdraw so they can't be all wrong." His response was he didn't know why the card didn't work so just keep trying it. Really?? That was the best they could do.

    Two weeks later tried it again and still got denied, called them back again (I think I got the same guy - I think they are all in India) and he said "You're past due on your account." I said "Really? How much?" He said "$8.00" - yes eight dollars. Really! He told me I could pay it with him for a fee of $9.00. Told him that wasn't going to happen so went on line to pay balance off and could not get on line. Tried several times - went as far as changing my password and then still couldn't get it to work. Called the help number again and I got the same guy who knows absolutely nothing. This is the biggest pain in the butt there is. First of all get people who know what they are talking about, English would be nice, and just over all better customer service.

    I received this application in the mail and thought it was a legit company. I filled it out and sent it back. They returned it with a 225 limit instead of 300.00 like they said. I called them and they said it was a 75.00 annual fee. I never saw that on the application. Since I hadn't used the entire amount they charged me 25.00 for being over limit and when I called to ask, they told me to pay the entire balance. I refused, and since then they have been charging me late fees and over credit limit fees to where they are way over the limit now. And every time I call I end up speaking with some unprofessional person who can't even pronounce my name or barely speak English.

    But wait, it gets better... They won't take payments over the phone and if you try and use the internet site, there is no place to pay on any link on the site! I now have them calling me day and night from all over the country with all different dialects that can't pronounce my name, so I know it's them and hang up. They call me at least 5 times a day.

    I've had my Visa Credit1 card for a few years. It seems like a great offer for someone with not-great credit, but it's actually a horrible deal. The interest rate (mid 20's) and annual fee ($100/yr.) are ridiculous and you get no benefits with those outside of a 1% back on gas purchases. They will constantly offer to increase your limit for a nice $15 charge and express payments are also available for a fee. Only 4 payments can be submitted within a month on the entire account (even with 2 cards, you can only make 4 payments). Their customer service is crap. Not to run on a tangent about oversea call centers because I've had great experiences with some, but Credit1 uses a lower quality one. That's a general review of the company and their services.

    My Story: Early April 2015, Credit1 had a breach and reissued my Visa card. Unfortunately, during this time, I was also moving. It wasn't until after settling down that I came across a letter stating my card was being reissued and that my current card was cancelled a few days before. Also, unfortunately, the day I changed my address was the day they should've sent out the card. I call and tell them the situation with the address changing and the new card. Seems like a simple fix and they said my Visa card would be mailed to my new address. Wait a few weeks (late-May), no card. Call them again, repeat the steps, they said my Visa card would be mailed, blah blah.

    Week and half later (early June), get my card... but it's the Mastercard one, not the Visa, even after telling them I had two accounts and that the Visa card had the issue. Call them again, tell them I was hoping to use the card on my vacation. They offer to resend it, but it won't get here until after I leave. Ask about overnight/express shipping, they say it's a $19 charge for a 4-5 delivery which would still be too late. $19 dollars for a 4-5 day delivery? You can overnight it with UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc. for less than that and regular delivery is 7-10 days, so $19 knocks off 2 days? Are they using Pony Express? What year is it? I tell them regular deliver is fine. I probably won't even activate it and just cancel it. For that annual fee and interest rate, I would hope faster better service was available.

    I almost didn't sign up for this card. Thanks to all the negative reviews I found when searching online. But, after comparing the reviews to the information that Credit One sent to me in my pre-approval packet, I realized that every charge and item that other reviewers were complaining about were CLEARLY outlined in the terms before even signing up for the card.

    Yes, I messed up my credit in a big way in my younger years. This really hurts since I am not able to get a credit card with a decent rate, or buy a house, or enjoy any of the luxuries those with good credit have. But, you reap what you sow. So, until I can prove myself credit worthy, I will have to work with programs such as these. I can't speak for how the customer service department is, because I PAY MY BILL ON TIME! In doing this, I have received no late fees and no collections calls. Credit One's online account site is easy to use, payments post as promised (if not a day or two earlier), and they even show my current credit score which is updated monthly.

    If you have poor credit and are looking for a good way to start rebuilding, I highly recommend this card. Is it expensive? Yes! Is the interest rate high? YES! But, all of the fees, rates, and terms are clearly listed in the literature received before or during the application process. This is what it takes for folks like us to get a chance to turn our credit around. I'm thankful to Credit One for allowing me the opportunity to start rebuilding.

They 'SAY' you can make your payment via Internet to avoid paying the $10, HOWEVER, they FAIL to tell you that you have to use a LAPTOP AND/OR DESKTOP to make a payment and not your smartphone - Even though they have a mobile version website/APP.

When I logged in to my account, they said my info was not correct, so the next day I called to pay and they would not accept my payment over the phone. I ask them to close out my account because I could pay online. They said they would and they would mail me my statement. Three weeks have past and no statement.

Even though I had my confirmation number, they still tried to charge me yet another late fee. I wasn't having that. So after a lot of **, I finally was able to pay off the original $10 I owed them.

    I received an offer for credit and decided to check out the reviews… Having read them I took a closer look at Credit One's offer. Be sure you can live with their terms before applying. The letter says no over limit fees and no penalty APR. However, you start paying interest as soon as a purchase posts which means even if you pay it before the due date you have accrued interest. There are set-up/maintenance fees that are billed monthly and late payment fees. You pay membership in year 1 up front and monthly in following years.

    Having recently come off bankruptcy I was tempted in an effort to rebuild my credit. Having held off long enough though I received a better offer from Capital One, lower APR, no interest until after the payment due date, and no annual fee. My advice, if you are in a situation similar to mine, is hold off until the right offer comes through. I will be rebuilding with a reputable company rather than getting ripped off at every turn by a company who will likely give me the same low $300 credit limit.

I told him that I would take care of it as soon as I get home since I was driving... The rep insisted that I pull my car to the side of the road so that I can make payment arrangements for a bill that wasn't even past due. I don't know what company tells you to pull over so that you can make payment arrangement.

    On top of that I can't even understand what they were saying... They kept talking over me and won't listen to my explanations. I kept telling them that I was driving and that I can't pull over to the side, but they acted like they didn't hear me. I like how this company hires a cheap labor abroad to provide adequate customer service. Shame on this company for not implementing quality services to its customers by training these people.

    I got my card in the mail today which like any other card it says to call to activate it and then you should be able to use it. When I called the person on the other line wanted me to send a copy of my drivers licenses and a few other important things. I have never had a credit card company tell me that I had to send them that information for them to activate my credit card! This sounds like a scam to me big time! How do I report them and make them bring my credit back up the 40 points they took away from it when I opened the card?

    I have had this credit card for about 5 months now. I messed up my credit pretty bad when I was younger and have worked pretty hard to get it to a place where I can get what I want. Although not a perfect creditor (can't plan or arrange payments in the future), it has been great to me. I think all of you complaining about the problems are just "repeat offenders". You messed up your credit and now are repeating what you did before. I pay my credit card up to 3 different times before and have already had an automatic credit line increase. If you are complaining about the bad service just pay on time, it's so freaking simple. Just pay, you haven't ever before and they finally give you a chance and you don't follow through?

    When I received an approval letter, I unfortunately did not look at the logo close enough. I thought it was from Capital One, not Credit One. Anyway, I realized it was my mistake. So, I am trying to pay the $75 fee then cancel. CREDIT ONE makes it very difficult to pay your bill. The standard method online is no charge (but they said transaction was declined) WHY?? The money is still in the bank! You can use the express method which cost a fee of $10.They said my first $25 standard payment posted. I checked and the bank, they showed it had not been taken. Then checked my card account and found they declined the transaction. Now I have to make the same payment again. But it has to be done over the phone and considered an express payment with an additional charge of $10. Going to pay the fees and cancel the card. The card is unused. I just received it a few days ago.

    I believe this is a horrible company. Cost $10 to pay your bill and if you don't, somehow your standard won't be recognized? And you will owe an additional $35 late fee??

    It took approximately six months before this company started reporting. I felt like that was a long time, but I guess that's the cost of having poor credit.

    Original Review: May 2, 2015

    I was attempting to purchase a home, but was unable to qualify for a loan due to a poor credit score. I contacted a consultant trying to get options for raising my credit score. He suggested I apply for a secured or unsecured credit card. He said to only utilize about 30% of the credit limit and pay it off each month, or pay payments, but to pay them on time each month. He said this would help build up my credit score. I chose this card, despite the monthly/yearly service fee (which I pay simply for the privilege of owning their card), plus their ridiculous apr. The ONLY reason I got this card was because it was the only company that would issue me a credit card based on my credit score. I read through all the paperwork (pages and pages of fine print) and thought it was a small price to pay for rebuilding my credit.

    I have had this card for 3 months now. Every time I log in to check out the activity on my account to be sure I'm being charged what I expected, I also click on the link at the top of the column located on the right upper side of the page. It clearly says, "Credit Score Active." Below that it says "Credit Score N/A." Below that is a link to click on, which takes me to another page where I can "view complete summary" of that report. However, when I click the link, it goes to a new page which I'm assuming is where my credit score information is supposed to be. There is a graph chart and below it is a "Summary of Your Credit Report." Every single category has a zero in it.

    This is very disheartening to me because I only got this credit card on the advice of a credit counselor. The company charges an atrocious amount of fees for the privilege of owning their great card, which I have paid, on time, for the past 3 months, just to find out they aren't even reporting to the credit agencies!!!! I Googled a few things, trying to find out why this is the case, and every time I do, I come across forums of people who are completely dissatisfied with this company. The next time, I will definitely do my homework before hand. Lesson learned. ):

    I received an offer in the mail of a $300 credit card with Credit One. I do not have the best credit so I figured this would help work on that, boy was I wrong!! I used my card up to $250 when it was stolen at 711 gas station. 3 days later I went to use it realizing it was gone. I called right away to report it stolen. It took 30 mins to get someone on the phone who barely spoke English. They said the account was closed and I would receive something in the mail and a new card. I asked what the balance currently was he said, "I can't see as of right now ma'am." I advised I was sure I only used 250 as shown online. I told him I would try to log into my account and check and see for myself. He was ok with that at first until I tried going on my account to realize "I cannot be found in the system." I called twice to be hung up on.

    A ten days later I received back dated mail with the fax number manually whited out on the bottom left corner saying if they did not receive my response in 10 from the date of the letter which was back dated (meaning the day I would receive it in the mail it would be null and void). Let me back up they did send me a new card however including another back dated later then closing ALL accounts stating some lie "due to my credit history they have decided up return my PAYMENT of $25 and are canceling all accounts and they will be reporting my unpaid balance to every major credit company." I was baffled but mostly disgusted. Not only did I pay my payment on time. They denied it. They were the ones who sent me an offer with my name on it to my home address. If they knew I had bad credit why send an offer?!

    I attempted to contact them another time being placed on hold for 20-30 mins. Speaking with a rude woman who again, couldn't speak English. I explained, well tried to explain, my issue when she cut me off saying "Sorry your accounts are closed," NO **! Then hung up on me. I mailed in my paperwork the day I received it, she claimed they have nothing. I am so upset because I have been with Capital One for 4 years who have treated me amazing. Both accounts are actually paid off with Capital One. This wanna be Capital One is a complete fraud to steal from people and ruin our credit.

    Today was my last straw. I tried calling Credit One customer service to find out from the automated system my account is in collections and to call 888-303-3005, spoke with a man **, explaining the situation for him to tell me call back in 7-10 business days because this is new to them and no one has reviewed it. I said "I am calling to make a payment in full to get this out of collections." He said, "Call back in 7-10 business days I can't help you today." I said, "It is in collections. I would like to pay off my balance there should be nothing to look over except an amount owed!" He said call back in 7-10 business days. I said, "No I will file a lawsuit in 7-10 business days" and I hung up and I am. I am done with these horrible people ruining everyone's credit!!! I've been a paralegal for 10 years and by the complaints of over 500 I am sure I can make this a class action against these scumbags scam artists.

Do not, do not, do not get a card from these people. I'm just hoping I don't have another fee next month. I will be so livid.

    I've read several negative reviews about Credit One bank credit card, but applied anyway. Several of the complaints was about the upfront cost of $75.00 for the annual membership cost. I received my card about two ago and proceeded to activate and went online and reviewed my account. At that time I went online and setup my account and noticed that I was not billed the yearly membership fee, just a fee of $35.00 that is due by 5/22/15. I'm not saying that this is the best card, but they took a chance on me when no one else would and for that am grateful. Those folks that made those negative reviews about the card, should realize that Credit One didn't force you to apply.

    Their website is just trash. It's not very helpful because they just give you a lot of FAQ and most of the time, they don't even make sense. I wanted to request a PIN so I can get cash from an ATM. Went to their website to find out how I can get one. I went into the FAQ section and there was a question there saying "Can I request a PIN online?" it just says, Yes, You can, blah blah blah... no links to the page where I can request the PIN and I tried for a while to find this PIN requesting page, I gave up, couldn't find it (because there is none).

    I tried calling customer service... of course like all big companies, there was an automated message prompt. Gave me a bunch of options EXCEPT to speak with a customer representative, and also, you can't request a customer representative by speaking, you can only press numbers. My question is, Do they have people working? O_O It's kind of frustrating because I just wanted to talk to a real person but couldn't get a hold of one. I been with Credit One Bank for 2 years now, I never had to call them so this is the first time and it was really annoying. Anyone who is looking to open up a new credit card account, take my word on this... don't choose this Bank.

    Cat Credit started, it is unbelievable but just card charges for everything and then some. The only good thing about this card is it helped me begin to rebuild my credit and now that started I should dump it in the ocean. Will never rise again, I mean it.

    So in continuation to a sour first impression with this product. I called the customer service and I must say I did not wait that long at all. I got in touch with a customer service rep ** I guess you can say they're outsourced.

    I politely asked the rep how is it possible that I have not even activated the card and I already received a bill for USD$75 and he replied that is the introductory annual fee. I told the rep that I wanted to reject this account/card, I will not activate card and if he could help me close this account. He asked me that I could activate card and paid fee and use account BUT I explained to him that I have decided to go for a different CC which doesn't have an annual fee and I would greatly appreciate it if he helps to close this account and he told me let me see what I can do.

    After a brief hold he told me that given the fact that I did not activate card and will not be using the account either, he will credit back the account with the USD$75 originally charged to bring balance to ZERO and account will be CLOSED. I repeatedly asked him and make sure that I understood correctly what he just said and he said that the next bill stub will reflect the credit back and the balance to ZERO meaning that THE ACCOUNT IS NOW CLOSED. I even got a reference number.

    Although a bit stressed and already praying that this is truly the case I am grateful and lucky that this was and, in fact is and, will be the FINAL case. Also I am submitting their cardholder agreement in which states what just happened above. So if you have NOT activated card and you are NOT planning on using it I believe you have a chance to rectify this situation. Because they should NOT charge you upfront without even receiving the card nor having activated it yet. Although it explains they can charge you annual fee upfront as long as you have not activated card I believe the options to cancel this account are good. Hope this Helps. :))

    I cannot believe I fell for this. Like many small people I wanted to rebuild my credit and I came across with this offer of getting a credit card. I finally decided to apply, I got a 400 credit line. Although I was aware of the annual fee. How is this even possible that without receiving the card, not even activate it I had received a bill for the annual fee 75 and have to pay at least the minimum payment of 25. This is demoralizing and discouraging. How does this help anybody to build or even rebuild a credit? It is horrible now I have to pay it off and yes! I want to close cancel this card. This truly sucks and I am already expecting the worst when I call their customer service. :(((

    I applied for this credit card company so I could build up my credit. Yeah, the interest rate was high, but what do you expect when you're just building from the bottom? I paid everything on time, never had a problem, but keep in mind they charge for everything. The credit line increase, they'd charge for that. They have monthly fees, and as well as charging you if you pay online. When I finally decided to close the account, had no way of contacting a person you could actually talk to. Good thing I knew that if you just hitting the * key, it will finally transfer you to an actual human being.

    All three of the people I talk to have a strong mideastern accent, so expect not to understand them. But I closed my account without any problem other than the fact they charge me the interest for that month. All and all, it's an okay credit company. Go with them if you only desperately need to; if not, there's other companies that won't charge you ridiculously as this one.

    I have had the same address since I started with them but weeks and weeks went by with no card. I called and they said the mail had been returned. This happened 4 times over the following months. I could not pay my bill online because it was locked. Finally, I called again and asked to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor said we could try changing my address. We did that and today I finally received mail from them but it was not my card. It was a change of address confirmation letter. It came to both my home and my P.O. Box.

I continued getting harassed on a daily basis of up to 5-6 times per day, on Saturday and sundays, holidays etc... all hours of the day and night. Mind you, I wasn't late with my payment nor was my payment even due... they have caused me stress, anxiety, nervousness, etc over nothing.

    I'm now trying to pay my balance (which is now up to $166.44)... when I only used $118.14 & it hasn't even been 30 days. They have screwed me worse than I've ever been screwed... I would NEVER, EVER recommended Credit one to my worst enemy let alone a friend. So now when I try calling them to pay off my balance, the phone calls are all static & you cant hear them speak... another number wants me to pay $9.95 to make a payment, the other option is to sign up for some kind of website access to make your payments.

Then I get my statement yesterday and there is an interest charge of $6.66. I called today to get that removed since I paid in full.

BUT Credit One said, "No!" right off the start. I ask why and was told it was a finance charge (as if I did not know). I ask again and he would not budge. So I ask for a supervisor and he stated the same thing, "No!" on taking off finance charge.

    So I ask to speak with someone in the United States. When I said that he immediately said he would take off the charge for me BUT only a one time deal. I still asked to speak with someone in the United States so he transferred me after 15 minutes. I got a manager, **, and I told her what happened over a small $6.66.

    Before 2008 I had very good credit (757). As with many, the only reason I went with a card with such poor terms ($75 annual fee and high APR) was because I must rebuild my poor credit since my bankruptcy since the 2008 crash. I realized I'd be paying these high fees but I had no idea how bad they can be. I have had this card for one month now. For the bank, I'm their lowest risk customer. I pay my balance in full as soon as it appears on my account (4-9 days). Thus I hit a $0 balance frequently throughout the month.

    Problems... (there practices should be illegal) At the end of my first month I had had a $0 balance for over ten days already. I was surprised to see a $1.13 finance charge show up. I called them and they explained that they charge interest on a daily basis. This is crazy and doesn't happen on 'normal' cards. I was then unable to make an online 'standard' (free) payment. They said that I had already made the maximum four payment allowed on my account per month and that I could only make an 'express' payment, for the additional fee. I refused. I asked where I could find the terms of such a policy. She came back with: "it is not in the Card Agreement, it was an internal policy." I told her this was ridiculous and I wanted her to show me where I could find this "internal policy" stated. She didn't answer that request and offered to process an 'express' payment for me and wave the fee for this one time.

    I made the payment for the "current balance" of $47.06 plus another $.06 for the interest, making the payment $47.12. I found where the policy terms have the daily interest verbiage.. however, I think a limitation on number of payments a customer can make (free of charge) to their own balance must (or should) be illegal!!

    Note for the next person: This bank bombards you with options that come with fees. The only way to speak with customer service is to keep pressing "0" although it is not a stated option. This is the worst credit card I have ever heard of and I will certainly be closing this account as soon as I can get a "real credit card!!"

    Besides loan sharks, never have I seen a credit card company charge interest from the first day of purchase. You cannot avoid a monthly interest payment with Credit One (who from this point forward, will be aka ScamOne). In fact they charge interest on the basis of an Average Daily Balance. So if you go off on a shopping spree and spend that initial limit of $300, better pay right away, because if you pay on the due date, you already owe them $306. Understand my own habits: I always pay in full my CC balance, and usually pay a week prior to the due date.

    Not to mention the immediate $75 annual fee (ANNUAL FEE 02/15 THROUGH 01/16, that's directly copied and pasted from their statement, there's not even 12 months there), plus some sort of $19 fee (AUTHORIZED USER FEE LAS VEGAS NV D) they added on as soon as I got the card. Before the first payment of these fees, they contacted me by phone repeatedly about before a statement even arrived, or the actual due date. They offered to take my payment by phone for an additional $9.95. "No thanks," I told her, I will wait for my statement, and pay ScamOne directly using my bank. She said they'd waive the fee, so I paid over the phone after all. The $9.95 fee shows up on my statement, also with a credit for the same amount. I wonder if that raised my Average Daily Balance for interest purposes.

    On the PLUS side, here's a strange thing: they do reward, based on your spending. They call these rewards (CREDIT ONE REWARD CREDIT LAS VEGAS CREDIT) one month for .89 and another for 6 cents. The third month, I didn't even get a penny even though I did pay 93 interest. Into my fourth month they have raised my credit limit to $500. Think they will see me going to $300 again? Forget it!! So far in 3 months using ScamOne I have purchased things (no fees or int) for a total of $428.12. I have been charged $8.51 in interest, $94.00 in fees, and a pair of rewards for 95 cents. So beware of this predatory bank. I'll be canceling at the 9 month point (before the next annual rip-off) and see how much trouble it is to close. From what I've read, it looks like hell.

    If only I could put a zero star. If you read this and did not get sucked in by Credit One, I suggest you run, run, run. It will cost you a bunch of $$$ just to get them to go away.

    I received a random email from Credit One stating how my credit score had changed and to login to review the new score. I logged into my credit card account to review my score and noticed an unusual high balance on my account. I reviewed the recent transaction and noticed that I did not authorize nor charge the transactions with my Credit One card. I immediately called customer service and a lady answered the phone that spoke a little English, and got frustrated when I asked her to repeat what she was saying.

    I told her the charges for Publix store in Florida and some Dr. office in Ohio charges were not charged by me. She recorded my complaint after placing me on hold for 10 minutes, and came back to the phone telling me a new card will be mailed to me within 15 days or less, and to complete the affidavit and mail in back to their bank.

    The investigation will take up to 90 days and they cannot credit my account. They said I need to continue to make payments, and pay the high interest rate. This is not fair to me because I've never been late paying my bill and adhere to all their rules. I will pay off this card and cancel service ASAP. This is the worst card I ever had, plus the customer service is awful. Be careful if you apply for a Credit One card. Go to Capital One, they will treat you better.

    I canceled the card in December of 2014 due to obtaining 3 credit cards with capital one. Since then they did not close the account and continued to bill me the monthly fee and reporting 4 delinquent months to my credit report. Worst card one ever experienced. I highly recommend Capital One and Bank of America.

    I wish I found this site before I said yes to the pre-approved offer. Their offer looks so much like Capital One that I responded too quickly. Thanks to the email I received yesterday, I quickly started looking for reviews and was I surprised! When the rep answered the phone, I was told the card had already shipped, but after I said I wanted to cancel it, I was told it hadn't shipped and they could cancel my application. We'll see what happens. The bottom line is if you all are still experiencing problems, go to your local courthouse and file a small claims case for around $25.00. You don't need a lawyer, just your proof. They will act right when they receive notification from the court and you will never have to worry about them again. Know your rights.

    This company get too many bad wraps. First it was the easiest credit card to set up. Second because we pay our bills we were given a credit line increase asap. Third their credit line protections program stepped right up and made my payments (min) plus and assisted us when I got cancer. So I give Credit One bank a+++ rating in my book. Thanks guys and gals at Credit One. Long term customers now and forever. My thought is this, if a small bank card company helps like this shouldn't they be my big bank card company. The big card companies are still stumbling over themselves to do something and it's been 2 months Credit One took 5 days payment in. Amazing. Little company wins in my book.

    I have not used the card for over 14 months; suddenly call after call about charges. Then a screaming match on the phone with a supervisor who did not want to cancel my card. This is a group of highly unethical people. Shameful. The three calls today were ridiculous and a waste of time and I have no confidence that my card has been cancelled.

    I applied for a card and it have been over one mouth and I never received not one yet. Called on the 19 of March 2015 to reported that I have not received it during the time they stated it would have been mailed out on March 2, 2015 arrive by March 12, 2015. So I changed my mailing address to United State Post Office BOX on the March 19, 2015 and by March 31, 2015 the only letter I received from them was a letter stating they have updated the information on March 24, 2015. It also stated that the NEW CARD was mail out on March 24, 2015 as well. Still at this date April 06, 2015 I DID NOT received a CARD.

    I made a payment way before my due date using their express option at $9.00. Payments are supposed to be posted the next day. But instead, it took 3 days for a payment to reflect on my account. I had trouble contacting them. When I finally did, the person on the other line seemed angry that I had called, when I questioned them about the express pay they gave me no answer. They didn't even say “how are you?” or “have a nice day.” Seems to me like they make it impossible to contact them on purpose. My tip… pay way before your due date but don't use express pay. Paying before your due date doesn't give them time to charge you interest.

    When you make a non instant payment, it tells you your funds will be available in about four business days. OK, I made a payment on 5 Apr, after it processed I get a message my fund will be available on 12 Apr. That is 5 business days and two non business days. What kind of crap is this. I guess I should have read all the outstanding horrible reviews before I got this card. Note to all: DO NOT OPEN AN ACCOUNT HERE!!!

    Note if you are trying to better your credit profile and have bad credit, this card will help you more than those rip off credit repair guys. Just remember it's actually a service your and it works. Took me from 550 to a 606 and climbing in one year. Just pay your bill. You don't even have to use the card. The monthly service charge shows up as a ontime payment every month on your credit report. They even give you money back on gas purchases.

    I received this card unsolicited. They immediately sent me a bill prior to my activation for 75 dollars. I missed the payment date by one day because I was unaware a payment was due. They charged an additional 25.00. I already owe 100.00 for a card I never used. I did not apply for this card and have no idea how they sent it to me. I have tried to cancel the card since I never asked for or used it. The representative was extremely rude, I asked that this card be removed from my credit reports immediately.

    I received a credit card worth 300.00 and the minimum payment was 75.00. Then before I could cancel the card I was billed a 25.00 late fee and a 25.00 replacement card fee. My total fee was 133.44 without ever using the card. This is outrageous. I called customer service and I felt like I needed to record the conversation just like they monitor the calls. The customer service rep said that I would not be liable for the charges but I still feel like I need records. I would never recommend this company to anyone for any reason. I can make more money than this by taking junk to the junkyard. I am monitoring the outcome and waiting to see if they will continue to bill me late fees and other charges. Anyone out there, be aware of these people. I could not even understand what they were saying on the phone. Someone should really investigate this (bank).

    My wife has tried contacting this bank several times via phone and never got through to a human. I have called and when prompted for my account number the system would repeatedly state that this was not a valid account number. I was finally able to create a on-line account so I could review and pay for their $8 monthly service fee. (Rip off.) Upon checking the account it stated I had a balance of -.13 cents although I was looking at a bill that showed a balance of $33 (which I was attempting to pay but could have sworn was paid last month). There was no way to pay the $33 balance on-line so we tried once more to call and find out what was going on. They urged us to not close the account and that they would waive the fees for 3 months so we would have time to reconsider. These guys are TERRIBLE. NEVER USE THEM!

    Credit One Bank card can only be paid with a checking or savings account without charge. If I pay with my credit/debit cards, they charge $9.00 for each payment. If a customer is using the credit/debit card, they cannot pay over the phone or online without incurring a $9 fee. This is unfair to the SSI recipients, family support recipients, and human services recipients, since our only money comes on a card. I feel this is discrimination. If someone is low-income they have to pay $9 extra each month to make a payment. The customer service reps also hang up on their customers. I was hung up on 4 times today alone.

    First of all I was disputing I charge on my account that had showed declined when I ran the card with United Airlines. So I called United and used a different card. When I checked the account today it showed to transactions for 300.00 to United Airlines pending. When I spoke to the Credit One rep, he refused to listen and continued to talk over me. When ask for a supervisor he refused until screamed and threaten to call back. The was not much better. She ask me to call United Airlines on a three way call. The United employee stated that they had not charged my card with Credit One bank. They had no record with my account, but my card with another bank was charged. After hearing this the credit one card rep still refused to credit my account stating it will take 10 days. This is the worst service ever... Please do not give them your money.

    I have had my card for only a month and a half. Random charges keep coming out of my account and putting my balance at zero. Customer service can hardly speak English and are not willing to take fault for anything. 5 days before my payment was due I received a call from a man with a different but very strong accent - he asked for my card info. 3 times and tried to say I would be avoiding a $9.95 fee if I gave it to him. I finally told him I had made other arrangements for my payment. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFO! That part was definitely a scam but I think they are working with Creditone to take as much money as possible. I will be canceling asap.

    Got an odd email in my personal email account from this company saying a card was on the way - please call if you don't receive it. Thought it was simply spam. Then I get a bill for a $75 annual fee due within a few weeks with a late penalty of $35. I call the company and they continually asked me for personal information that I was unwilling to give them (if they gave me a card they should already have it right?). They finally find me in the system (miraculously of course) and they tell me that if I don't activate the card within 30 days it will be cancelled. I didn't believe them.

    Called back and requested the account be closed with evidence in writing. They said they'd send a letter. I also requested an email (since they already had it somehow right?). They said they couldn't do it. I asked them for the IP address of the computer that "supposedly" applied for the card - they refused to give it to me. I asked to speak to a manager and they put me on hold - then sent me to a phone that just rang and rang and rang and rang. We'll see if I ever get a letter confirming my account was closed and the $75 membership fee was waived. I would never sign up for a card with a 24% interest rate let alone one that ALSO included a membership fee. This company is scamming consumers. AVOID!!!

    I paid my balance two months ago and requested account to be closed. The customer service, after arguing with them that I wanted it closed, said they would close it. For two months I continued to get fees, one month interest on a zero balance, which I paid, then an annual fee, which I called customer service and explained I already closed this card and I wanted the fee waived. The customer service woman said she could not waive fee and she continued to try increase my credit and not close account. I repeated 3x that I already closed account and did not want card and they were running a scam by continuing to charge me fees for an account I have repeatedly asked to be closed. After being put on hold, customer service says they will close account, waive fee and send a letter within 7 to 10 days that account was closed, which I heard two months ago from them, but I will believe it when I see it with this company. THIS COMPANY is a rip-off. BEWARE.
