Product: Credit card

I applied for a Capital One credit card on XXXX and Capital One extended me a credit. Capital One as the seller of this contract accepted my application for credit and deposit my application as a letter of credit which becomes an asset for Capital One in which they use to raise capital and pay investors. Since this is my financial asset being used I am entitled to compensation and this credit line being reopened as it is not closed due to the equity never XXXX. Capital One has violated federal law and securities law by withholding the principal balance which is the finance charge and also the interest from the account. Capital One also alleges that I owe a debt but an open ended consumer credit plan can not be a collection or late as there is legally no limit.
