    First, they make you wait 2 weeks for a card you may or may not get. I called customer service line for lost cards because of this exact situation, and --after all that waiting, following instructions to call if card wasn't received and much wrangling with an ESL rep, lots of frustration-- I just decided I didn't want the acct anymore. Rep said they said they couldn't cancel because I didn't actually receive a card. I insisted, so rep continued asking for information I'd already provided direct to him. Worse, he couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't be charged the absolutely insane amount of $75/year in one lump sum. Attempting to increase my credit score, high hopes of buying my own home eventually, but with this sort of company --one which rips peoples' money from them without even having an account-- should be avoided at all costs! Now, to call the bank and deny any attempted charges from them! This company was always shady, at best, thieves at worst.

The app never works and customer service is terrible. Get a secured with Capital One credit card if you’re looking to build credit. I now have excellent credit and my credit limit is $600!

    Used Their card for $225, set their auto pay up multiple times and then on the phone with them and before anything could even be resolved they sold the account to a collections company that wants upwards of $700. Then from the remarks on my credit another company with no balance specifically dropped an account with them because of the Issue. Best bet stay away. I read the warnings on them and ignored them. Don't make the same mistake. If they wanted their money they would have left the auto pay alone. Have a great day.

    I will keep this short and sweet. Credit One froze my account because I paid off my card too quickly each month. They would not re-instate the account unless I provided them with 3 forms of verification that it was me paying off my account with a letter written by me saying the same. So after speaking to 4 different "supervisors" I have closed my account. If you pay off your card on time or early like myself plan on it being frozen with this company unless to show them everything but your blood type proving that its you paying your own bill.

    I called the customer service line and the agent tells me I will take your debit card information. I say wait is there a fee? The agent says yes but because you had so many issues trying to make your payment I'll go ahead and waive $2. So instead of the $4.95 fee you'll only be paying $2.95. I let the agent know my payment is due tomorrow and no one told me Credit One needs to verify the checking account (takes up 10 days). I'm only left with 2 options: Express Payment for a fee or my first payment is going to be late is that correct? The customer service Representative says yes and that's it. The APR is high and the customer service is lacking. Go with another option!

    My credit card account with Credit One was recently paid off 4 months ago and I have not used it. I was keeping the card since it looks good to have a credit card paid off. In the past several months I have been billed $8.53/ .30 cents on a card I am not currently using. Just this evening 2/24/2022, I notice another statement e-mailed to me for .30 cents. I would recommend anyone who needs to build their credit to refrain from using this company. I have never heard of anyone charging .30 cents for a credit card you are not utilizing. To make matters worst, I am being charged $5.45 cent for processing fees on .30 cent bill. This is what you call corporate greed by taking advantage of 99% of the working class in America.

    I have had this card a few months, basic and it did the job. I thought it was me, every time I logged in I was having issues (using Chrome and THEIR APP). Login ID nor PASSWORD would never save, and go to the 'forgot ID/password' ... you must receive and enter a sms with a code ... NEVER received them. Call an agent... they say they have to update info (even though all of the info matched). If ya miss payments they can SUCCESSFULLY CALL 10+ times a day, but a robot cannot send a text to the same phone number they call, weird right? After months of trying and never being able to login on my own, trying to have the issue resolved by people who cannot understand THERE WAS NEVER ANYTHING TO UPDATE, and their general disregard for their customers, I'll pay it off and close it. I'll go almost anywhere else in the future.

    This is by far the worst credit card ever. They operate like a scam. Do not use this card. If you need something to build your credit, use Capital One instead. This company froze my account after I paid my balance. They said they needed to "verify" my Chase banking account b/c it's a new credit card and required proof from the bank that I had an account there after they withdrew my payment. Why would any credit card company require a letter from the bank that my account is my account. Now I am unable to use my card until I submit a letter and yet my balance is fully paid and they took their yearly fee. It's like a damn scam and no reputable credit card company would do that. I can't cancel b/c it will affect my credit score. Please do not get this card!

    This credit card company suspended my account and blocked my online access for no reason. Then requested that I send in copies of my utility bill & driver license. Once I did this I called and they said it was not sufficient, to send in additional docs. Once I did this I called back weeks later and they said they received part of the docs and not all when they were all sent in the same envelope.

    Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT get this credit card. I have had several low-base credit cards and this is the absolute worse by far. Firstly, they do not make it easy to put your bank account on their credit line. Secondly, they want you to pay that extra $8 service fee if you can't verify your bank account. I've tried THREE separate bank accounts and they all did not work through this credit card company. Lastly, the company will close your account if you miss 1 payment.

    They ruined my credit score even more, even after they supposedly verified my bank account with me over the phone. I thought wholeheartedly that my payments were being made because my bank account was verified and put on Autopay, that was not the case. My credit score dropped -45 points because of the miscommunication with this company. Positive this is how they make their money, seems extremely criminal. I have 4 other credit cards that have all been paid on time the last two years. I just took this one out to get some more gifts for Christmas. I'm paying off this debt and closing the account as soon as I get paid.

    I just set up a credit card account with Credit one bank. I set up for auto pay using my checking account so I wouldn’t incur any late fees. The first month I got a notice that my payment had been returned due to a closed bank account. I called immediately letting them know I’d had the same checking account for over a dozen years, there is no way it was closed. They stated that they had inverted some of my account numbers and entered them in again. The next month I got the same message, I called back again just to find out they had still input my info in to their system incorrectly!!!

    Part of this problem is because they don’t have ANY staff who speak English well. With incompetent staff unable to complete even the simplest of tasks is obvious this is not a legitimate company. Their ONLY business objective is to collect fees. Interestingly enough, when I canceled my card they were able to collect the fees due from the same exact account they claim was closed. This company is a SCAM!

    I had this card and made my payments on time until Covid hit. I closed the account six, it shows as closed, yet my balance has now tripled because all of a sudden my 30 dollar minimum became 150, which I could not afford to pay 150 dollars that would only go towards interest that should not be that high and now, even closed, because I have missed paying the damned minimum, even though I am making no purchases and the account is closed they keep taking the damned minimum onto my balance. I owed 260 when my account was closed. I now owe 700 and my minimum has been raised to 450.

    WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?! I have called, I get some person in India who speaks no English, is extremely rude and feeds me garbage like "The only way to stop the balance from adding up is to pay the minimum and then it will go back down to 30 a month." which makes NO SENSE.

    Credit One Bank customer service is lacking. Small things like a change in address are time consuming. The company outsources to India from what I can gather. The people have some issues communicating and many times leave the customer on hold for too long. The bank almost never increases account limits without some sort of payment by the consumer. They prey on people who seem to have no other choice. I called the automated line. There is no choice for cancelling the card or just plain "Customer Service". I ended up pressing "7" for reporting lost or stolen cards. I was on hold for about 5 minutes waiting and when I did get an agent, he sounded drugged.

    Cancelling the card took 20 minutes! It is concerning that in this day and age when most people work from home, companies are still outsourcing labor to outside the United States. I am sure many single mothers in the states would appreciate a job they could do from home. At least the consumer would stand a chance at communicating.

    I should've done my research and I now regret it. The WORST card I have ever had. I opened the card summer of 2021, received a limit raise after two months, always paid on time. By November 2021 there was a hold on my card. I tried to use my card and it was denied with no warning. Embarrassing. No fraudulent activity, no letter in the mail. I called their customer service. Just awful, it sounds like everyone is working from home and could not care less about their jobs. I've asked what I needed to do, "submit a copy of your ID so we can verify your info." Ok, no problem. I do it right when we hang up. I'm told 7-10 business days. I call back two weeks later. "We need a copy of a utility bill with your name and address on it."

    My address on my license matches everything I have done with this company but ok. I ask if they were going to let me know that they needed additional information. I'm told "we mailed you a letter," I asked two different reps to tell me what date this letter was sent. Neither can provide a date. Also, they have zero issues sending me my card statement. I've submitted my driver's license & gas bill to them 6 times. Days later, I get a notification online, not by email, I have to log into their website, that there's an internal issue and to upload my documents again. I will probably take the hit on my credit and close my card just to never have to deal with them again. If they ever lift the block on my card, to begin with, that is...

    I applied for this card in the summer of 2021 because it was recommended to work on repairing my credit. Because I'm trying to improve my credit, I pay my bills on time every month usually a day or two before they are due. Unfortunately credit one bank has failed at making this easy. Initially, I would pay using their standard payment method. Within 2-3 days later I'd get a call saying that my payment was rejected due to insufficient funds. I'd always have money on the account. This happened 2 or 3 times before I decided to pay using their express payment system. The first time everything was OK. The 2nd time, I got my confirmation and checked to make sure the money came out and saw the charge on my debit card.

    Almost 2 weeks later I get a call that my payment was rejected again for insufficient funds!! I paid an additional $7.99 to make sure this didn't happen. There is obviously an issue with their payment system because I have 3 cards I'm paying on and this is the only one with that issue. I'm going to cancel soon but looking at the reviews I see I'm going to have an uphill battle.

After speaking to my bank they blocked Credit One from pulling anything from my savings. In the interim I called four times to make payment, they again tried pulling from an old closed account. I paid my card in full each month. I have contacted Credit One 4 different times to no avail. Not one English speaking person. I could not understand The person and they could not understand me.

If you pay after a deadline time on the day it's due they charge $30 even though you paid on the day it was due and if you didn't know they will only give you half of it back. 3.)

Since the workers are mostly located in the Philippines and or India, it is very common that these individuals mix native and English words resulting in a new incomprehensible language.

    Finally I get someone on the phone that explains to me that I was charged 75 dollars for a yearly fee, and 6.75 for a monthly fee, and because all this was due the day before they charged me a 28 dollar late fee. All this before I even use a card I never activated. I became very upset. Nothing I could really do. I told the rep that I wanted to pay the bill in full and cancel the card. Oh No, dude started saying I shouldn’t do that as it would severely affect my credit. I tell him to cancel the card anyways. That I thought it was a legit Capital One Card, not a high risk card. I said cancel the card now!! Lesson learned, however this type of predatory leading should be illegal. They got me for 109.00 so far. Lesson learned. I’m hoping they canceled that card and that will be that. However, I’m Leary…

    I have had my Credit One Platinum Card for a year now. I finally asked for a credit line increase...denied. I'm in the positive ten cents actually money wise, in good standing, also no payments due. I have been working so hard on my credit score and finally for once asked for a credit line increase with no intent on using the extra credit line increase just wanted to have it to boost my score and they refuse to help. Bad service...looking into better credit cards now that would be more helpful and beneficial.

    Long story short, huge mistakes in my youth and missed chances to grow because of ignorance caused me to not only make my life harder, but to also scare me away from thinking any bank in the world will even talk to me. I have finally opened a successful bank account with a local credit union, started looking at credit much more seriously and developed a huge drive to not only fix my credit, but to get approved for the best cards I NEVER DREAMED of getting approved for before, and all of this is thank to Credit One giving me a yes on my application.

    Just like the fear of rejection from a person, running your credit and putting yourself out there is a hard thing to do, especially when you always see or hear a no, but a closed mouth doesn't get fed and eventually, someone will say yes and that someone's is Credit One. Don't listen to the talk about the fees (unless you genuinely cannot afford them), don't let the APR deter you (do everything you can to pay it off monthly!). This card started my growth, and in just shy of 2 years since I started I now have 4 other cards with limits exceeding 4k a piece, a used car loan, and a fico score on the verge of 710. You can do it, you can fix it, don't run from a future where you have options for help and rewards you've earned, it all starts somewhere.

    This has been the worst customer service experience I have ever received from any bank. First they send me a pre-approved offer, I proceed to complete the application and it was approved, after several weeks I receive an email notifying that the card was sent and should arrive by October 24, today November 4 arrives a statement and the card never arrived. I contact the bank and they tell me that the card has an alert because they need to corroborate my address in which they ask me for a water or electricity bill, Social Security card and driver's license to be able to send the card.

    However, however, they could not send a notification before about what happened but if they could send the account statement, I communicated twice to the bank and both times I was attended by the same incompetent employee, unable to help me. The most annoying thing was that I told him that I wanted to cancel the card and he proceeded to do so without looking for alternatives for the customer. And now what do I do with that bad inquiry on my credit report? Inept.

    I have a Credit One credit card with a $300 limit. Three months ago I paid all my credit cards at all, and my credit rating score made a great leap forward. I open up the credit one account just to build my credit, Yes they did not report that I have paid them in full for almost 30+ days, while the other credit cards that I have updated my account immediately. I missed a payment two years ago right at the beginning of Covid, and it began making extra payments to pay off my credit debt. Credit one never failed to call me if I was one minute late. So when I paid all my credit cards off, I didn’t receive any calls, I did not receive an invoice, and logically I presume that I didn’t know anything to any of my credit cards.

    Apparently credit one charges an $8.25 fee for a monthly processing fee that goes towards your yearly processing fee. This fee is calculated and is charged to your account immediately every month. Two months after I made all my payments on all the cards, I received an invoice from credit one. Of course I opened up the credit card statement, and I noticed that I had $ 78 in charges on that card. Those charges were eight dollar fees monthly and two $30 late fees, for not paying those fees. I made a phone call to credit one, livid and upset, stating that it was very important to me that my credit so progress, and I had no understanding of making any payments once I had already paid the entire amount off. I received an invoice. I made a phone call to credit one, I was very upset because it wasn’t the eight dollar fee that upset me, it was the derogatory reporting for two months of late payments.

    When speaking to management, they agreed to waive the late fees for the two months, they also agreed to remove the derogatory reporting and state that it was on time and in active. Now I’m sitting at 90 days, I paid The required monthly fee, and still no changes to my report. That’s the main change to my report is that I lost more than 56 points on my score for their unethical and unfair charges. I’m livid because I’ve called several times and they have stated that they are working on it. I stated that it did not take him more than one second to report and derogatory and information, Why is it taking so long to rectify this problem. I want to close the account, open a better credit card, but I’m concerned that it will drop my score more so. I also feel like I’m being held hostage because they have done nothing but make my credit score drop points.

    Again I paid all my fees off and I notice a new fee for $4.96. Mind you my entire balance was paid off yet they charged me for interest on charges for that didn’t exist. So my payment now is $12.90,. And by the way if you call and make a payment it they charge you $7.95 just to make A payment. Each month they are robbing me of around 20 bucks, and done nothing but destroy my credit and drop my rating. I want do you know what is my action recourse, what can I do to stop this predatory and unethical bank from stealing from other people as well. Please help.

There is an annual fee of $75, which was placed on the card right away. When I made my first payment on the card for the balance in full, the card was immediately suspended for a "suspicious payment." However, they don't call or send a notice of any kind, you just can't use the card. Credit One wants a bank statement AS-IS, with all the transactions and balances, and wanted me to also include my FULL bank account number and routing number.

    Otherwise they want your bank to submit a payment verification on bank letterhead stating the account holder authorized the payment, the account holder's name and the name and contact info for the person drafting the letter from the bank. Even when they accept auto-payments from the account (towards the remaining $75 annual fee), your card remains blocked. Seems like they have false advertising, make money off the annual fee and then don't allow you to use your card...in addition to wanting all your bank account information. There is no documentation that a proof of payment is needed to use the card, nor do they contact you to let you know the card is suspended or to give you status updates of your case once you upload documentation. You just can't use the card. Absolutely ludicrous.

This company charged me a late fee for paying on the date the bill was due. I'm on SSDI and get paid every month on the 3rd. The date due was the 4th and was told BY A PERSON, that this wasn't a problem. I paid on the 4th to only find out that I was charged a $29 late fee. I called their phone number the next day. First to rescind the late fee, since this was my 2nd month owning this card and the other was to move the day of payment, just 2 to 4 days, because people on SSI or SSDI, get paid once a month and you pay your bills then. Credit One Bank didn't wish to do either but by escalating the call and waiting the 1.5 to 2 hrs, I got them both changed.

    There is no email or otherwise contacting them with today's technology. Just 1-800 number. A long time to wait. Time is what I have. This card will be paid off shortly and will be used only for emergency uses. My other credit cards will be getting my business. What I find confusing, where stores accept AMEX, this card gets rejected or turned down from the shop owners. When I point out to business owners that they accept AMEX, they have an excuse of turning it down. I was told by more than one business that they didn't trust this company for one reason or another.

    Credit One Bank specializes in credit card banking for customers with less than perfect credit. Their main offering is low line-of-credit cards for customers who want to rebuild their credit. Their business strategy is great for short term (less than one year), but beyond 1 year, doesn't make any sense to use. For example, at the end of 1 calendar year as an account holder, they'll bill you $39 annual fee. If your balance is $0, and you never use the card, you might forget this $39 fee exists, and not pay it. After so many days overdue, they'll add a $20 late fee. And if your bank should be low on funds, a $35 returned item fee. So now we're at $94 in fees, all because one $39 charge didn't go through.

    The emphasis on assisting the customer with their credit issues is high, but when the customer needs the help, Credit One Bank stabs the customer in the back. Their customer service is near impossible to reach on the phone, and very little information exists online. I had to use the online service "Get Human" to wait on hold for me to get a person. After 35 minutes, my phone rang, and I had a Credit One Bank rep on the line. The representative was nice, and understanding of my issue. Ultimately, I cancelled my card because of their business practices. I was hoping for a better outcome, but did not receive it.

All their reps said nothing is wrong with the card and I should be able to use it. I then called the merchant where the transaction was attempting to be made and they confirmed that using a credit card for transactions on their site are not tied to cash advances or cash deposits.

    The merchant confirmed the denial is on the Credit One Bank side and they would have to release the charge as a credit purchase. The four people told me four different answers why the card was declining. The manager Mick and Shawn said two totally different stories to me, that was different from the supervisor's story and the two reps' story. This is a fraudulent card that doesn't hold up to what their policy says. If I could rate them a negative 10 I would. A score of one is too modest for this company.

    I recently signed up for the credit card and now received it in the mail. As I am trying to set it up for use with the app, I keep getting error messages saying “for security reasons… blah, blah, blah. Call this number.” So I call the customer service number they provided and it prompts me through until I put in the last 4 of my social security number. Click. The call ended. So, I called back and got a little bit further that time. It rang for a second, then went silent for nearly a minute, and then hung up. I tried for a third and final time and got the same result as the first time. As stated in the title of the review, not off to a great start, Credit One!

    2 stars because they approve you for a $300 credit card even if your credit score is low, but with the highest APR of any bank. I had a score of 540 when I opened an account with them and one time I had a payment returned and within a week my credit balance was $563 meaning I was on -$263. My score took a knock to the lowest of lows. This credit card is a business venture and not a way for you if you struggling to make ends meet! The customer service is run from India I presume so you won’t get any help, if you eventually get someone on the line and you ask them too much they just hang up!

    After having a bankruptcy I was happy to get things moving along with a new credit card from Credit One. I tried to maintain perfect credit payments, but my attempts actually cost me in a big way. I wound up trying to pay my card off entirely each month, 2 payments reversed from my bank because it was in the overdraft zone. What happened next was my card was closed, my credit score sank to new lows and my life was thrown back into a place I don't wish anyone. I tried to explain the situation to Credit One, but they were not helpful and they blamed the bank. I paid my bill in full soon after. For 2 years I tried reapplying because this is the next card in the steps to rebuilding credit. I kept getting run around and error codes.

    I was told it was the app I was using responsible for my denial, then I was told I had a open account and then finally that I had a closed account with a balance. Now I just called them and they said it was because of suspicious activity on my old account. Which is it Credit One? Now they treat me like a criminal for trying to apply for a credit card. It's so frustrating because for the last year during this pandemic I had many fees and interest charges I would have never had if I had just avoided ever dealing with Credit One bank. I had to take out loans with 1700% interest because of this card closure and the damage it did to my credit after their surprise closure of my card. I'd recommend people stay away if at all possible, but I know it's often one of the early cards for rebuilding credit. I don't feel I was treated well, or even humanely by this card company.

None of the customer service representatives have an answer for this and I can’t get anywhere with asking for a higher up. My current account has always been on time and my credit score is above the 700s and I still can’t get a credit line increase on my current account. I don’t want a new credit card with a new limit.

    This has to be by far the WORST credit card company I've ever experienced. I recently got a new credit card with them, with a small credit line of $300. I have higher credit lines that I have never missed a payment. After 1 month I paid $100. Since I was 10 days late because of an issue with my deposit, I get SIX PHONE CALLS every 15-30 minutes in 2 hours. At first I didn't even know it was them. They did not leave any voicemails until the 6th phone call. I called them back and expressed how disturbing and creepy it was to get called, and they explained to me that they do it (for my sake) so that they don't report me negatively to the credit bureau. Which is understandable, but then she wanted to social security number and personal info.

    Seriously lady? You want me to give you my PERSONAL INFORMATION AFTER YOU CALLED ME SIX TIMES? You think I'd trust someone who calls me 6 times in 2 hours? No way I said. So then she'd have to take the time to verify that the company is legitimate. All that time wasted. Could've left a message after the 1st call. I'm paying off the $213 and closing out my card.

    Let me start by saying I am very thankful to Credit One for giving me the chance with no deposit on my initial card. I have had their card since December of 2019 and love it! I started with a $300 limit and used it wisely paying all fees on time and as of now have about 11 cards as they just approved me for $1500 on another card! I see many people complaining about fees and such, they make this VERY clear when you apply for the card. If you can't afford the fees...don't get the card. There are cards out there with no fees like the Capital One Secured Visa which is what I started on with a $250 deposit over a year ago.

    Since I have been with Credit One I have had absolutely ZERO issues with this company and will continue to use their services. I have approximately 14 accounts in total and have not missed one payment. This is because if I have an issue I don't wait until my closing date or due date to address it. I check all my accounts daily even if it is tedious, it's responsibility. If you can't afford $99 a year then you probably shouldn't have a credit card as the interest on a card adds to that and this is MADE CLEAR WHEN YOU APPLY. If you dont have the income, do what I have done, go work at Sonic and put in 50-60 hours a week.

    These companies take a high risk as most people are NOT honest about their actual income then blame the card companies because they don't do the math BEFORE getting a card to see what the interest would be with a $300 card maxed with $99 in fees every year so let me try to help. So, if you have $300 and it's maxed with a 29% interest rate that's about $87, then you have the $99 fee every year. So that's actually $186. If you make the minimum payments of $30 it will take FOREVER to pay off that balance. So in total you would have $486 for that year if you maxed the card. In order to pay that card off in 12 months you would have to have a minimum payment of about $45 each month. These are rough numbers but it's to give a general idea.

    In closing, Credit Cards are not YOUR MONEY. It is BORROWED money and should only be used sparingly, in an emergency, or to invest bringing in more than what your TOTAL credit line is. Literally, 11 cards and 3 merchant accounts all above 25% interest on a median income of $52k a year with about $1500 in car, truck, and insurance payments and never missed a payment. Stop blaming these companies for y'all's shady practices for not reading and doing the math BEFORE getting these cards. They make it VERY clear if you READ about the $7 design fee.

    I knew there was an annual fee when I signed up. I planned on just paying for the first year and then cancelling before they charged me an annual fee for the second year. The customer service is terrible. It takes too long to get past the automated system because there is no clear route to ask for a human representative. There is actually no option to choose from if you wanted to cancel your card. I had to choose to make an express payment just to get to someone.

    I finally reached an "account specialist" and I explained that no longer wanted the card because I had been approved for better card which do not have an annual fee. He tried to give me an offer of a $20 credit to offset the next 3 months of my annual fee which would have been $8.25 a month. I could have appreciated the offer if the math actually added up correctly. ($8.25 x 3 = $24.75). He then went on to say that they can possibly provide a better offer during my next evaluation. If you had a better offer to give then why not offer it to me immediately instead of trying to trick me into still paying $4.75 towards an annual fee. For all I know, I could've been liable to pay the remainder of that years annual fee if I chose to cancel it after those 3 months have passed.

    I explained to him how I did not like the offer and just do not want to deal with a credit card that has an annual fee written on the agreement. I didn't get a response. In fact there was no longer another person on the other line. I was still connected but I didn't hear anything. I then had to call again and found out that my card was cancelled. So their "account specialist" attempted to negotiate with me to keep my business with them only to just cancel my card after I rejected their first offer. Not only that but they did not give me any confirmation that my card was cancelled. I would have been open to better offers or to possibly just have the annual fee waived, but instead they chose to try and deceive me and then discard of me as a customer. The only good thing is that their phone app works.

Leads me to believe as a company you don’t care about your customers, nor do you make them feel valued. That is the only way I can explain it.

    I’m going to mail their card back them and have them sign for the card back to show them this will reach them within a few days like my 1st payment did in November. I feel this business is shady, unethical, uses trickery, and I don’t need them and reminded them they need me. They decided to be bullies and not post my payment. I take photos of the outside of the postmarked envelope in which I mail my money order. They tried getting even further express payment fees, NOT happening. They also wanted to see if I would give them access to my other accounts for payments, NOT happening! They received any posted my first payment within 3 business days.

    I let December’s posting issues slide due to Christmas holiday. They have had 9 days and they are trying to see if I need my payments to post quickly for some other reason in order to get me to either use some other form of payment to allow them access into more of my personal information and to help their 3rd parties get their little monthly nine dollars etc. None of these tactics are going to work. They blew their chances into making any further money off me. There are other cards out there and I keep a monthly check of my credit which is good. I want to close my account with them and they are not allowed to check my credit ever. They really are an awful credit card company. All they had to do was post my damn payment but they were stupidly short-sighted. I will post complaints through the BBB and on Facebook and other sites as well. Thank you. Best regards.

    Be careful when signing up. Chances are they will give you a credit card no matter what. You may get a $300 credit line. The fine print will say that they will charge you for a annual fee for $75 and chances are you will miss that. So right off the back you will be charged for 25% of your credit line. The interest is insane and you will be hit with it no matter what. DON'T sign up for a card. You are better off without it.

    My initial payment was $30 on an $81 balance. The due date was 1/14 and I made the payment on 1/7. I got a notification on 1/12 that my payment was returned without explanation. I checked my account to make sure there were sufficient fees, as I rarely carry a balance under $500 in that checking account. The fees were there, and every other transaction I made that day and since had gone through. What’s more, the money was never charged or returned. So while it may have been an error, if my first payment to a company is the only returned transaction I’ve had in years? I'm not comfortable with their standards. I called customer service and got no clear answer on why the payment was returned. I stated that if pay off the balance and to close my account immediately, as I won't be subjected to a $9 instant payment to avoid late fees when I paid a week in advance and wasn't notified until the last minute.

    Signed up for the credit card and in 3 months they cancel my card for late payments. First off their payment methods are stupid. They charge $10 to make a payment right away or you can make a regular payment that takes several days to process. On top of that they will call you 10 times a day, even after I talked to someone they still call. Horrible bank.

    I have had a Credit One card since June 2020. Since becoming a customer I have always paid my balance due in full every month, but one. That one time was my November payment, which happened to be the first time I was late due to the way payments are processed. I say process, but usually, that implies the customer knows how it works. Credit One does whatever they want in that regard. Let's explain.

    When you make a payment to Credit One the money is not taken out of your bank account instantly or the next day. I never knew how long the money would sit in my account before they processed it, on average it was 5 plus days. As confusing as that is I just learned to deal with it. It required constantly checking my account to make sure the money the payment was there whenever they finally processed it. I'm not rich and live from month to month like a lot of people. Some months all the money left in my account would be for my Credit One payment.

    The only time I was ever “technically” late with my payment I made the money was in my bank account for six days. So for six days, I checked just in case something I forgot about paying came out. Well, that month it did. Conveniently on the seventh day, Credit one finally decided to take it out, just after my monthly Apple music payment I forgot about has proceeded. It was also 3 days after my due date with Credit one, so I was charged a late fee. I was a little upset! It was my fault I know, but if Credit One processed payments in a reasonable way it would not have happened. Again, it ultimately was on me for that.

    Well, it's a month, after all, that and I “made my payment” four days before the due date. This time I made sure I had more than enough in my bank account. Just in case the same issue last month came up. Still, I checked my account every day to make sure I knew it had been processed. The due date came and passed with the same result. A few days after that the money still hadn't processed, so I logged into my Credit one app to check. To my surprise I couldn't log in, all I got was a message that my account had been suspended.

    When I called Credit One to find out what was going on, I was told the account had been closed! I was shocked and confused, so I asked why it had been closed. After a brief hold, the rep informs me that it was because I was late too many times. I argued that technically I had only been late once and even if that was true I had received no notice of the issue. I mean not an email, text, phone call, or message through the app. They just closed my account.

    After calming down I asked what I needed to do to get this corrected because I could prove that it wasn't true. They wanted me to send bank statements showing my account balance every month they claimed I was late. I guess the fact that their system would show only one time I ever paid a late fee wasn't enough. I would have done it for them, but all my Credit One statements were electronic and I can't log in. I thought about going through all that trouble to fix it, but if they how they do business it's not worth it! I really that it had more to do with always paying my balance monthly in full. I was not accruing interest, so they weren't making money.

    It is important as a consumer to know facts and be able to make informed decisions before starting a relationship with a creditor. I opened a card with credit one bank to build my credit back in January 2018 I have never been late until I lost my job during a pandemic. I was on auto-pay and the withdrawal occurred before I could adjust the autopay. Actually it hit my bank twice, in one week.

    As a result credit one bank "Closed" my account altogether. I'm now looking at 45 days late on an account that never was late. At no point did credit one bank call me and see what was going on. They have nothing in place to help people that are being affected by a crisis. I have yet since 2018 restored my credit and luckily I have other large account limit credit cards, but a late mark on your credit is a late mark. Now that I called to pay the card off they want to open my card again.... Hell no! I paid and demanded in writing to close the account after "They opened" it. The audacity. I want to do no business with a credit that will not work with me during a time of need.

    I’d been trying to rebuild my credit like most credit one customers (were not customers to this company, simply dollar signs, the word customer infers we be appreciated in some way and shows a little respect as such) first of all I'll say that I appreciated this company taking a chance on me and my less than perfect credit score when giving me a credit card. That being said, they are a business they need to make money. And so I could look past the high fees, which keep their annuals up, the activation fees which show a customer who doesn’t usually pay their bills is ready to pay something before getting anything, and not I could simply not care about the interest rate on a card with a few hundred dollar limit as I intended to pay it off each month (which I did) in order to build my credit score as quick as I could.

    After my bank account was drained by someone who got a hold of a check of mine I was screwed out of my money. I decided I’d not spend with checks or debit cards any longer. So I chose to use credit for everything and then pay the bill with my checking account. Meaning whatever I spent money on or if a thief got my card number and made fraudulent charges I wasn’t liable. I was protected in many ways a checking account doesn’t offer. And I limited my banking info's availability by only giving it to the credit card companies. My spending and liability could be far less this way. But because the card limit is small I maxed it out several weeks during the first two months this meant I was making a payment on it each week just to have money to spend.

    I could have pulled cash out I suppose but I was trying to get in the habit of paying the bill and putting my expenses (not just almost but all, on credit) and between this card and another card I was managing to. All be it taking my weekly paychecks (from two jobs paid on opposite bi weekly schedules) and paying toward each card. Now I didn’t pay the card off each week, (I did at the end of the month though) I typically just paid a hundred or two hundred dollars I’d have to give me an allowance on available credit, I didn’t use multiple payment methods to pay the credit card payments. Just my bank account and those were the only charges my bank account was being used for.

    My plan was working well and my credit score was already going up in the first couple months from doing this. Keep in mind when I made my payments I needed my cash I was forking over to them available ASAP as I’m obviously not rich and have small credit limits, so I took a loss each payment made because they charged me $10 for “express payment” which was available either right away of in twenty four hours as a pose to seven to ten days later. That is one of those fees that I mentioned earlier I was able to look past. It’s the next shady business practice however that brings me here today.

    I made several payments on my small limit card ($300 limit) in both months I was using the card (my payments the second month were somewhere around $540) which seems like a small amount by most standards when talking credit card balances and debt. Then I got I’ll and ended up in the hospital for two weeks and recovering at home a third. I didn’t use my card at all during that three weeks. On the fourth week I went to use it and it was declined. I knew there was two thirds of the card available to spend. What could be the issue? I tried to log in to my account and it said it was locked. I called the company the next day and they said they closed the account that morning! But why?

    Why would a credit card company close an account who’s owner was making payments on it with more frequency than most folks with poor credit would. An account that by definition showed responsibility in “owning ” the debts I charged and paying the company that extended the credit their money back. Well, let me tell you the answer I got left my mouth wide and jaw slacked. Apparently I did something very wrong by paying them all the time. I was apparently supposed to pay the minimum payment only and rack up interest charges. Or anything that would have made them more money off me. Aside from the fifty dollars they got that month alone in fees to let me make the payments I did. That’s better than most interest on low limit cards!

    They locked, then closed my account with sending a single letter or alert on my email. The reason being was that I did the unimaginable. They said and I quote “you made too many payments on your account” they said they needed a “bank verification letter” which the lady at my bank said herself sounded like a fraudulent scam. But they never sent me anything requesting such a letter. They then locked my account so I couldn’t make a monthly payment by express or standard time frame nor could I use a different payment method to pay the payment. Keep in mind not a single one of my nine payment was ever returned, rejected or refunded by my bank. They all went through and credit one accepted each. Even the last two which they say were the two that apparently overdid it. They were all made from the same account. They say this is to protect their customers from fraud.

    How so? If it was fraud wouldn’t it be a different account paying on it each time? Wouldn’t it be rejected or charged back when the real owner saw the charges (of which there were enough they'd stand out on a bank statement) if the banking info was someone else’s? They took my last payments and accepted them and then locked my account leaving me with 200 available credit and a hundred dollars (PLUS MORE FEES) owed. A balance they would not let me pay because my account was locked. They charged me a late fee for no payment that last month as well. I took credit hits for nonpayment. And then another hit to my credit because they closed the account with a balance.

    All in all they made more money from me in the first two months than they do on most customers (I’d assume) in the first year even. All in all, financially speaking they profited off of me 75$ annual fee, 35$ activation fee, nine 10$ express payment fees (90$) and the 35$ late fee they charged after refusing to let me make a payment. A grand total of $235 in fees they collected in the two months as one of their “valued customers” not to mention the serious damage they did to my credit. All the points I was able to gain my score dropped double that amount. I’d say be cautious. For some folks it seems to work. For myself. It did not.

    I opened my account with Credit One about 6 1/2 years ago to build my credit back up. In that time I never missed a payment. The fees are high and obviously so is the interest rate but I never complained about it. Well this past weekend I made a purchase and the invoice that was sent had the wrong products on it. I tried to contact the retailer multiple times by phone, email, and even on Facebook but I received no response. Naturally I called my credit card company whose card I made the purchase with and explained the situation. I was told that since the charge is pending there is nothing they could do and that I would need to file a dispute once the charge goes through. I explained that the charge is no longer authorized because the items listed are not correct and that I have no way to contact the seller.

    My assumption was that like any other credit card company I could file a dispute over the phone, or very least by email as I've had to do that before with other credit card companies, but I was wrong. They said the ONLY way to file a dispute was by mail. I work on the road 6 days a week and travel to different states for work. Not only was this request unreasonable but the company states it's a "TECHNOLOGY AND DATA DRIVEN" company. I was told they do have email but not for this. I was baffled. I asked to be transferred to a supervisor. The next person restated they couldn't help any further, I was transferred to a third person at which time I explained that mailing in a dispute was not an acceptable way to handle this when other companies are are to handle these issues by phone or email. I then explained that if I was unable to be helped that closing my account would probably be the best option. I was told, "That would be fine. You tell us what you decide".

    A 6 1/2 year customer and not a single care about keeping them! I spoke to a fourth person and they again said there was no way to help me but they would be more than happy to close my account. He had it done within a minute. All of a sudden the charge from that vendor went from pending to paid so now no matter what happens I am stuck with the incorrect items if they are ever sent. Moral of the story...CREDIT ONE is happy to take your money but purposely makes customer service as inconvenient as possible.

    I've been with Credit One for 3 + years now and the highest my credit limit has reached is $950 due to the periodic automatic credit increases. Before today, I've had yet to initiate a credit limit increase on my own, so this evening I thought I'd be random and request a credit limit increase. Mind you, I have relatively "good" credit (700+ credit score with all 3 bureaus) and my balance is sitting pretty at $7, as I like to pay off my balance every month. I received an automatic denial.... Hmmm I wondered why??

    The reason in the denial letter is, "Account usage during the past 90 days does not meet our current eligibility criteria. If you have any questions regarding this matter, you should contact us..." So, of course, I contact them to inquire with a live representative. An account supervisor informs me that I'm not spending enough monthly on my card with my monthly max at $100, so they feel that I don't need a credit limit increase. I explain that my limit is only $950 and I like to keep my credit card usage/balance no more than 10-15%. I further explain that the credit bureaus like to see your debit balance at the max 30%, thus I don't like to get near the threshold to preserve my good credit standings. The account supervisor proceeds to argue with me and tells me that this logic is not logical and that I should be using my 30%.

    Wow.... The last time I checked, lenders preferred those who carried no credit card balance monthly. This was the music of bologna to my ears. I ended the call by telling her that this logic has seemed to work for all my other credit cards thus I refused to debate over her illogical thinking and hung up. I guess you're dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. Here I am, doing the right thing and managing my credit the proper way and I get told I'm managing it too well. I'm baffled....

I made 3 separate calls to customer service and was promised the card was on its way. I cancelled this card due to why would I pay a bill on an account for a card I never received??? Crazy and the fees are too high. They're taking advantage of people with lower credit scores, not helping!!! The card finally came 3 weeks after I cancelled it which means a 2nd payment would've almost been due at this time. Glad I cancelled even though it lowered my credit score to do that. Wait to it credit is good enough for a legit card is my recommendation.

    So Credit One does not have auto deduct. You have to remember each month they will send you a reminder after you are past due. Then there is a $29.00 fee for being late and the a $9.00 fee to make the late payment. Bad card company. I just transferred money into my checking account to pay the balance and will close my account.

    This bank is cruel and heartless. Do NOT be fooled or be a sucker that 'they're there when you need them.' My nephew got a CreditOne bank card. He was making small purchases and kept up with his payments. Then he had a stroke. CreditOne added a $30/late fee the first month. Because he had had a severe stroke and couldn't even go online, he got a late fee the next month of $39. Each month it was $39 'til his balance was in the hundreds. While other banks were offering him hardship payment terms (especially during this period of Covid-19) and reversing late fees and interest and arranging reduced payments, which he was keeping up with, this bank would not.

    At some point they closed his account but STILL continued to add LATE FEES!!! Last month my nephew died. I contacted the bank and they 'noted' his death, whatever that meant, but I was able to go online into his account - they were continuing to send him emails!!! - and still they continued to add late fees!!! This bank is cruel and heartless. Do NOT be fooled or be a sucker that 'they're there when you need them.'

    Credit One Bank erroneously withdrew $40 from my bank on 10/1, as a duplicate payment, so my bank put a stop payment on the transaction because I caught it the same day. Then they put 2 returned payments on my account, again in error. I had to phone in on 10/1, 10/5, 10/8, 10/10, and 10/12, speaking with numerous people including “upper management” to get this resolved. On 10/13, they finally fixed my account and credited it an extra $5 for my troubles.

    However, on 10/15, I received another alert that I’m over my limit. I check my account and find that they slapped on a $25 fee for a Returned Payment. It was not a returned payment! It was a stop payment on their incorrect withdrawal attempt to my bank account. I had even told them twice on those numerous calls to make sure they don’t put that fee on my account! They said they hadn’t and weren’t going to since it was all their mistake. As of 10/20, and after I had already sent them two messages through the portal, they still haven’t resolved this. They didn’t even respond to the messages. So, I called them and was told they need “time to investigate” so give a couple more days. It’s bogus!

    Received a pre approval letter in the mail and stupidly accepted it. Getting the card was easy and took about 14 days to receive. Interest rate is very high and the annual fee comes directly off your balance once activated. You have a bill and already in debt before you ever swipe it. I kept the card anyways and used it some. Always paid on time and at least double the minimum payment. Last month I used my girlfriend's bank account to make the payment. Received the confirmation email.

    Two weeks later I get an email saying my account is closed and Credit One starts blowing up my phone minutes later. I ignored the first dozen or so calls and eventually answered out of irritation. Surprise! It was Credit One wanting a payment. Credit One Bank rejected the payment for unauthorized use. They closed the account before ever making an attempt to contact me. Although I always paid on time, having an account with them has done nothing but drop my score month after month. They will not reopen the account and you cannot even sign in to your account anymore to pay the bill. I guess they will harass me once the next bill is due? They are purely awful to deal with. Bad credit is better than dealing with this very shady business.

I accepted a pre approved offer from Credit One several years ago, and implore others not to make the same mistake. Credit One did not provide the promised regular credit line increases despite my perfect payment history, excellent credit and more than adequate income stream. Most recently, Credit One breached their contract by failing to credit a cash back reward for a gasoline purchase. Customer service initially said they would correct the error, then when I called to follow up they insisted that the charge was not from an accepted merchant. Gasoline charges are covered on a class basis in the contract, the merchant classification applies only to grocery purchases. Customer service was only interested in refusing my valid claim.

    I read a lot of reviews when deciding to apply for this card. Most of them were negative. I read that if you make multiple payments in a month they give you a hassle. Not true, I make 2-4 payments a month usually paying in full each time, never had a issue. I read payments do not post on time, not true, they post the same day made. Although the available credit sometimes takes 2-3 days to become available that was never a problem for me as we got this card to build credit not to live off of.

    Here is my thoughts, yes there is high fees, yes they are a little slower in releasing available credit (because they want to make sure the payment is not returned) and yes they are a little antiquated. If you are looking to build credit and use it and pay as you agree, this card is great, it serves the very purpose it is designed for and most people intend on using it for. With that said I find the low review rating and negative reviews are so many because so many of us poor people with crap or no credit get this card, then can't afford to pay on time or keep too high of a balance and get mad when there are fees or no credit. If you want o fix or build your credit follow the rules and this card is perfect. If you want a no fee card Discover offers a secured card for as little as $200 and will return your deposit after 8 months if you behave! We did both and it's working excellent.

    I've had my Credit One credit card for years & it was recently compromised from fraud charges overseas. I immediately responded to the text message to decline the charge and found that there were two other pending charges. When I called customer service she didn't even know to transfer me to fraud. She was telling me to dispute the merchant. Because I work for a bank I knew the procedure & that Visa has a zero liability for their consumers. Once I spoke to fraud they told me they were filing the charge against the pending transactions but never even filed the claim! I spent ten days talking to customer service reps who had NO CLUE how to dispute fraud! All they kept saying is my systems are down and "I'll transfer you to my manager". Then the manager would say, "My system is down and I'll transfer you to my manager".

    10 days later I finally spoke to rep that said they never even included the fraud charges in the claim. I was livid all of the previous reps were making a circus out of my claim. There's been no provisional credit posted to my account and they seem very confused about how to handle fraud. The fraud charges are STILL on my account & my payment is now due. How devastating is it to have a customer service that doesn't even know how to protect your account at a time like this where online is everything and protecting your information has become vital!!! Unless you want to get thrown around in circles with a dysfunctional customer service who doesn't understand their job, it's not worth the headache.

So naturally the monthly fee and interest charges accrued. I was finally able to get a hold of someone today (phone lines were down last week along with most days their website was down as well). I wanted to pay off my low balances and close my account. He took my money right away and just before he submitted the payment he told me there is a $9.95 processing fee per card.

    I decided to just go along with because I wanted to be done with it all and close my accounts. Well needless to say, after my payment was processed he was unable to close my accounts because of some new software. They are hoping this week sometime they will be able to close accounts. So now I get to call back, wait on hold for quite awhile, hope that no more fees have been applied to try and close my accounts again.

    While understanding that the card is for rebuilding, it is a terrible company to do business with, as they charge you for making your credit become available once you pay. That in and of itself should force consumers to look elsewhere. In addition to the aforementioned, you're still paying interest with or without paying early. You'll always pay interest with this card. This message is an attempt to bankrupt the bank so they no longer have any business. Consumers don't appreciate companies like this who prey on the weak just so they can gain extra money and incentive because a consumer happens to be in a temporary position of bad standing. In fact, businesses should never run this way, because this is what the business will get in return.

    They don't offer auto-pay. This is a card targeting people who are rebuilding their credit. The bank's own website recommends people set up auto-pay on credit cards to help rebuild credit, and THEY THEMSELVES DO NOT OFFER AUTO-PAY. They CHARGE you to make a payment unless you want it held for 7 days. Let me repeat that: THEY CHARGE YOU TO MAKE A PAYMENT.

After a year of having my card they began charging $5 monthly for their annual fee. Mind you I had a “0” balance. I called and asked if they could charge it as a one time fee so I wouldn’t have a balance and they said they couldn’t it had to be monthly.. What!!

I went to each of the bureaus site and got my score and credit one was off tremendously!! I’m not sure what system they use, but it’s totally inaccurate.

    Issue #3: On my $2250 card they were charging me $17 a month for credit protection which I did not sign up for!! I never noticed before until I looked at my statement. I immediately called them because I did not sign up for that. Please people look at your statements thoroughly.. I didn’t at first because I was spending crazy on that card and felt the charges were accurate. These people stole $17 a month for over a year because I was too stupid to look at my statements thoroughly. I say stole because I never ever signed up for credit protection!!! So they took it!!!

    This bank charges you fees randomly and then charges you late fees when didn't use the card. The company claims to help customers build up credit, but they are a borderline fraudulent bank that should be shut down for their crooked practices. It is difficult to contact these crooks or pay your bill, absolutely no customer service. This bank is a joke and should be considered criminal for taking advantage of lower middle class and low income Americans. I WONDER WHY PEOPLE HATE BANKS, AND USURY IS CONSIDERED AN AWFUL SIN?

    I got this card when I was trying to rebuild my credit. Now that my credit is doing better and my card is paid off, I noticed each month a tiny fee, but it was billed as interest on purchases. How could that be? I haven't made any purchases with that card in over 4 months. The annual fee billed monthly is paid in full each month, so why do I keep getting this tiny fee? After calling customer service, I was transferred and escalated to 3 different "supervisors" until finally, they said the next supervisor would call me (she has not). Allegedly, the interest on purchases comes from the annual fee being billed. I asked how is this possible when both of these charges are billed to my card on the day the statement closes? Also, how do you charge interest on a fee, as a purchase? No one could explain that, hence why I am waiting for that call back (I'm sure I'll have to call them again).

    The funniest part about their lie/explanation, I actually have 2 cards with Credit One, both charged the annual fee monthly, yet only 1 is still being billed interest for purchases since being paid off. Makes me wonder how long they've been jerking me around with this fee. If I am being billed on nothing, who knows if they were accurately billing my interest when I held a balance. It just stood out more now, since there were no purchases! Consumers beware!

    I was sent a pre-approved notice so I contacted them and got their card. Having not had credit in a while it was helpful at first. The only method of payment is a bank account with no way to transfer a balance or pay it off with another card. During the pandemic, they offered NO help whatsoever! Instead they recommended getting a loan, selling assets and even getting a second job, just to name a few.

    Seriously? The country was shut down! I tried calling for a week to let them know I was not going to be able to make the full payment and never was able to speak to a person. BUT when I only made a partial payment, they called the next day! Needless to say, I paid off the entire (maxed out) balance (the same month) and will never use the card again. I refuse to allow them to make money off of me when they are not willing to help their customers in a time of crisis. I do not recommend this card to anyone even if you are trying to build credit. Try Merrick Bank instead.

    So I received my Visa and Master Card from Credit One about 4 years ago. You must always be checking your account from fraud charges to fraud fees from these yahoos. I just noticed my card was over the limit and I have not used the card for 4 months no recurring charges or anything. Well guess what I called them on this and told them about my lost/stolen card and they would not help me cancel my cards unless I said that I had no Fraud on my account. I was flabbergasted about this. When I told the first guy that is wrong and I wouldn’t say that, he hung up on me. The second call he told me the same thing. I got a supervisor that told me the same thing. This is WRONG. CREDIT ONE is A Scam that rips off the customers, last time I sent in a letter on fraud charges they never helped either... So now. I will not ever use Credit One Again and will Blog everywhere about this SCAM of A company.

    This is the absolute WORST credit card for anyone, any reason under the sun. First and foremost, the credit card company is located in India. Their online website is constantly broken, not allowing sign in and a laborious payment chat you must go through to make a payment. Secondly, the payment often does NOT go through, because most banks consider this vendor to be fraudulent and block payment. The BIGGER problem though, is their system does NOT notify you when payment has difficulties. This may be deliberate on their part, you get stuck with automatic $30 late fee. To PAY your bill in general is costs $9.95 on their website and over the phone. THERE IS NOT AUTO PAY.

    Setting up a payment from Wells Fargo has also proven problematic, thus I'm stuck CALLING every 30 days to speak to someone for 20 mins to process a payment. The CREDIT LINE IS LOW. If you're building or rebuilding your credit, I have had amazing experiences with Mission Lane and Mercury. Both cards have AUTOPAY and work like normal credit card companies. The initial credit lines were DOUBLE what was offered by Credit One. Additionally, I have had all 3 cards for exactly 1 year now, and Mission and Mercury have just increased my credit lines by 50%. Credit One declined any increase. YOU WILL GET STUCK with this card. Again, contact is difficult, website doesn't work, no auto pay, and FEE for processing payments. For a pissy little credit card with $800 credit line, it ends up costing me money every month - like $40 just in payment fees. It's a SCAM. BEWARE.

    Good for people who need to build credit. Other than that, no good. Been with them over a year. Always paid on time. More than the minimum. No limit increase offered. Even though my credit score has gone up over a 100 points. It's fair now. The day you pay your bill off. They hit you with interest. So you always owe them something. Say you pay early and it's paid off. To your knowledge anyways. Then you look. 1.38 interest was added. Just saying if you're building credit or you need credit. Use wisely. Thanks for reading.

    While the actual credit card products are reviewed elsewhere here, do not look for any technical support from this bank. I was trying to speak to someone about connecting to my accounts using Quicken (something that seemingly every other bank is able to do). I submitted a written message via their website a week ago (I'm still waiting for a response), finally called today. I'm guessing that their support is in India: they (initial support AND supervisor) had no idea what Quicken was, could only say that their website is working, and would not escalate or refer my issue to technical support. After explaining the technical difference (I'm an IT professional), the supervisor could not say anything other than they have no problems with their website and hung up on me.

    In my experience Credit One Bank lacks many of the most commonplace technical abilities (e.g. downloading my transactions in a .QIF or .CSV file) - suffice it to say this is not the first time I've tried to get something that is a regular feature from other institutions. While this was tolerable while I was rebuilding my credit after a divorce, it is not any longer. It is now a priority to pay off my accounts and close them. Caveat Emptor.

    My payment with Credit One Bank for my credit card issued through the company was due on 7/7 before 5pm (PST). I made my payment on 7/7 at approximately 12:20 pm. I usually use the online app to make a payment however that method was unavailable. The online express payment method was also done so I paid via the Standard Payment method. I received a reference number and a payment date confirmation receipt to show my payment was made on time. I went to check my payment information the next day 7/8 and my credit one account was reflecting a late fee payment of $30 and that my payment was made on 7/8 not the payment date.

    When I called customer service to have this information corrected I was told they could waive the late fee, but could not correct my account to show my payment was actually paid on time I would need to speak with another department that could correct this error. I was transferred to three different agents and placed on hold for over an hour waiting on a Supervisor who I was told still couldn't correct this fraudulent information. My next recourse is to write a letter to the company and hope they will correct this injustice.

    I've had this CC since May 2019. I'll admit my credit wasn't perfect (around 580) when I first got this card and they approved me right away. After 2 on time payments I received a $200 credit line increase. There is a $99 annual fee spread out of monthly payments of $8.xx. My credit score is now 701 and I've been a customer for over a year with no missed/late payments.

    I keep my balance at $0 and I'm currently only paying the annual fee monthly. I reached out to them to request a CLI and was denied. I called customer service and no one knows the requirements for a CLI and simply stated the "system" approves or denies it automatically. Very odd but whatever I don't plan on using this card anyway. Another issue I have is the reporting to the credit bureaus. I keep my balance at $0 and pay the monthly fee as soon as it posts (same day or within 24 hours) yet they continue to report my balance as $8.xx as soon as they post the fee. My biggest issue with them so far.

    If you get offers from Credit One, read the fine prints. These people know how to rip people off. If you usually have your accounts to auto pay monthly so you don’t forget to make a timely payment, you won’t get that option with Credit One. It’s a setup. If you don’t make your payment on time high fees are added on plus they already have high APR and charge monthly fee for having an account with them. When you want to settle your account to get rid of them you will be told there's no settlement offers. Another way for them to collect every single penny from you.

    I don't have too many negative things to say but I will say what I experienced recently. I called Credit One just yesterday because I needed a "Paid in Full" letter submitted for the closing of my home. Anyone in here who has a home or is closing soon like me, understand that when your loan office calls you about docs needed for the underwriter, it can be quite "Time Sensitive". Okay, moving right along. So I called them to request this email and I was told that I would have to wait up to 72 hours to receive a daggone fax stating "Paid in Full". If I'm paying my credit card bills on time and holding my end of the contract why is that I have to "wait" for someone to click a freaking button.

    2nd offense, The representative I spoke to on Thursday, 06/18 told me something COMPLETELY different from what the Rep I spoke to on Friday 06/19. OBVIOUSLY their office isn't on the same page. I then asked to speak with a supervisor and he says that I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT 24-48HRS AFTER THE REQUEST HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR A SUPERVISOR TO CALL ME BACK... ARE YOU SERIOUS?!!? I am VERY disappointed in this company. If you don't have to chase me for a payment then why do I have to wait to get what I need. I don't think this "consumer/business relationship" is fair and I will be cancelling in the future. I'm gonna hate to see my score decrease due to that cancellation because I've worked so hard to get it where it is today. However, I'll be damned if I continue to spend money/credit with a company that does not express a willingness to assist their card holders at a time when they are needed the most.
