Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MS
Product: Credit card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
I submitted 3 credit card payments for 3 different accounts. As I have done for years. The problem came about after the default setting on the credit card payment system automatically selects the first account listed on your list of accounts as a default account. If you forget to change the account selection or it doesn't register when you do change it, the payment comes out of the wrong account. I have been a Capitol One member since XXXX. I have had at least 5 credit cards with them all in good standing up until closed. Capitol One has a system that is tricky and if you don't make sure that all boxes have the correct selected info, an error can occur. When I made my payment for the month of XX/XX/XXXX. The payment was made under the wrong account. When I saw that the payment was made from the wrong account. I immediately called Capitol One and tried to get the payment cancelled. I was told once a payment is made that i could not cancel the payment. So I logged into my XXXX XXXX to transfer money into my account, I found out that my account had been closed for no apparent reason and I wasn't even notified. I have 6 accounts with XXXX and the account was closed without notification. i have filed a complaint with the OCC regarding XXXX and this matter and I am waiting for a response. In the meantime while I was out of the country for a week, Capitol One called this fraud and closed my accounts that were all in good standing. This is the second time I have had a problem with their faulty system. There are several accounts listed that I use to pay all my bills and the first one listed is the default account. The fact that this has negatively impacted my credit rating is absolutely ridiculous. I have paid my bills on time and yet because of an error on 1 account, which I called them about, Capitol One closed all 3 of my credit card accounts, which has negatively affected my credit rating. I will also be sending a letter to my congressman because this usually gets nothing done about the situation at hand!
