A fraud of almost 900 dollars was put on my credit card and because criminals also had my email address I am being made to pay for it by capital one. Don't ever use this company.
This is a dishonest company that uses a lot of gimmicks to keep and lure customers into their web of Credit Card purchases. Although I have made payments on time every month, I have a low Credit Card line of credit($750), which they refuse, under any circumstances to increase! To make matters worse, they recently sent me a letter that read: "Congratulations! You have been approved for a $200 Credit Card limit, as long as you deposit $200 into this account, and accept the interest rate of 30% plus!
I was, obviously, offended.
IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THIS, THE CAFES ARE A STUPID IDEA. Even though, by using your Capital One Card, you can get 50% off a Cup of Coffee in The Cafe, the reality is: Who Needs It? Wouldn't it be better to have REAL AND EFFECTIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE? Instead of getting all Customer Inquiries and Complaints sent off to The Phillipines -- or Colombia? WHAT A COSMIC JOKJE!
I don't think it's asking too much of a credit card company to have online chats available for customer service. First of all, you don't have to confirm your identity because you logged in. Second, you don't have to go through telephone torture. Third, if this is Capital One's way of saving money, it would be akin to a bottled water company saving money by bottling fresh toilet water. If I'm banking online, then I expect to find online employees to chat with. For all I care, Capital One's inhuman chat bot named Eno needs to die. I think he's already sick with a virus. You know, a computer virus. Because every time I ask him for help, he gives me a "Contact us" link that lists a bunch of phone numbers. What is this, "Little House on the Prairie"? Phone calls are so yesterday. I'm not going to call. I'll write them a letter and send it to them by boat over the ocean. That would probably be more effective, since it's obvious that no one's home.
So, I opened a Capital One 360 Checking Account with the promise that I'd be given $350 after switching over my direct deposits. I think you were supposed to have over X dollars direct deposited on two consecutive months. Upon opening the account, I immediately had my direct deposit rerouted from my bank to Capital One. Unfortunately, it took a month too long for my payer to get with the program, and Capital One stiffed me. What else could I do but put in the request the same day I opened the account?! I bet Capital One knew that many people would struggle to get their direct deposits rerouted that soon. Shame on them. And then the [bleep] on the phone was really mean to me and told me that I "didn't qualify" for the $350. I told him to close my account, and he did; but then I realized that I should reroute my direct deposit AGAIN before closing the account, so I asked him to NOT close the account.
"I already closed it!"
"Well, unclose it! You just read something that said you can unclose it!"
"I didn't say I could unclose it! I said... uh... that you could still access the account for a while. Yeah. That's what I said."
"But how will I get my direct deposit next month?"
"Who cares? You just ordered me to close your account."
"No big deal," I said. "I don't really need that income anyway. I mean, really, who needs to get paid, am I right?"
"I suggest that you contact your payer as soon as possible, ma'am."
"Well, DUH!" I yelled.
He seemed stupefied. (I don't think it took much.) "What... what do you mean?" he asked.
"What do you think I'm going to do as soon as I get off the phone?! I don't want to deal with misrouted income!"
"I don't like your attitude," he said.
"Good! Go [bleep] yourself."
"Well! I never!"
"Figures! Give it a try."
Click.
I immediately logged in and canceled the transfer of my balance to my other bank. Now they can't close my account because they still have my money. I mean, they can try. Good thing my parents are both lawyers.
Was I mean to him? [Bleep] yes. I jumped through hoops to reroute my direct deposit, and I got nothing for it. Nothing. After I get my money in order and close this account, I'll never do business with Capital One again.
Corrupt to their core! Stay far away from these liberal hacks...they are bad news. They actually let cancelled checks get cashed...yes. There is no guarantee they say! Horrible customer service. Bad business
I have had capital one for a few years and all of a sudden my account was closed without notification, my payments kept returning even though I made sure the payment funds were available for the next day which is when it usually takes it out. There was no call or follow up regarding these actions and the only feedback was to reapply! I will not be reapply and Capital One has lost a valuable customer! Hope this helps someone else.
This is our first and last experience with Capital One. CUSTOMER BEWARE. We have an excellent credit history and were approved for very low credit limit. During the holidays we meet that so paid the statement balance two weeks early to avoid issues with direct billing. Capital One says payment will be processed within three business days. Payment cleared our bank the following day but our direct payments are being declined. Thirty five minutes on the phone with customer service and we are told they won't process any transactions until 8 days after they have withdrawn the funds from our account. Even spoke to a manager and told simply that is just the way it is. Apparently customers who have excellent credit and pay full statement balance is not what they want. The absolute worse customer service I have ever received from a credit card company.
It's absolutely ridiculous how they will flag your account as having "suspicious activity" but when asked what was suspicious about the activity they say there is no specific thing they look for. Was literally on the phone for 25 min while in line at the store and was asked maybe 30 different questions. Ask to send in my ID and a whole mess of other things and the purchase was only 75 dollars like come on do better! I would not recommend them to anyone.
Have 3 cards with them. I get a email to apply for business card. I did ask my annual sales I listed it. Card approved. Next thing I know ALL my account frozen for fraud investigation. Asked to see my bank statements for annual sales and I provided same day. Called some rude foreign customer service. Who would not help me and told me 10 business days they will respond. Ask to speak to her boss she said she is the boss. I been with this Mickey Mouse company 5 years not 1 late payment. Will be move along very soon.
Military members beware that capital one may "seem" to offer lower interest rates for military, but I was given a 15.9% interest rate with a credit score of over 800 for a 6 year loan. Customer service would not help me whatsoever, do not use them, you will be killing yourself trying to pay interest off and barely paying the loan itself.
Capital One decided to cancel my credit card immediately and without warning. When I called customer service to ask what happened, they said that they had to cancel my credit card simply because I was, "paying it in full on time every month, and this is not helpful". So basically, being financially responsible and being dependable with timely payments isn't allowing them to charge exorbitant interest rates of 24.99%, and in my case, it is hurting their bottom line. When I asked what I could do to fix the situation, their advise was for me to take my business elsewhere. As soon as my final payment clears, I will be going to a different bank for a credit card.
Answer: No really I can't I mean from the very beginning they said they mailed it and then a week later when I called and they had not mailed it yet when I checked my bank they take the money out of my bank and then tell me they're going to hold the money for 7 days to make sure the money is there I think they take the customers for granted in a big bad way
Answer: From my experience, they appear to be nothing but a shady scam bank.
Answer: They offered nice rewards back It sounded more impressive than it is. Big mistake.
Answer: This is the same issue I'm having with Capital One. They make mistakes and then drag their feet and act like nothing is wrong.
