Company: Kikoff Inc.
State: NY
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I was advised to write to you by your customer service department concerning my credit rating with your company. I have enjoyed a credit account with KIKOFF LENDING LLC for many years. During the course of our business association, I have honored and respected my account agreement to the fullest. I appreciate how wonderful your service has always been. 
Unfortunately, I was in a financial dilemma due to job loss. As a result, some of my payments to you were delayed. Because your account with me is extremely important, I managed to borrow the money to cover the late payments. I made those payments 30/60 days late on a few occasions during the course of my situation, but I made sure to fulfill my obligation to ensure that your company suffered no loss. 
I am thankful and appreciative for the years of positive credit history that I have obtained through your company but now those late marks on my credit reports have become detrimental. I am trying to apply for a new job, but the negative remarks are hurting my efforts. 

The credit bureaus have advised me that they will report anything as instructed by you, but they need to have that instruction in writing. I am pleading with you to help me and take into consideration how good of a customer I have been and how long I have had an account with you.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: PA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I have credit cards with XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. The practices of Capital One stand out as deceitful and are designed to make money off of the consumer by charging unfair late fees, interest charges and applying payments to go against accounts that have a lower interest rate or no interest rate rather than against accounts with a higher interest rate and are coming due sooner. 

For my business account I caught Capital One applying a majority of my monthly payment to my 0.00 % reduced rate promotional balance that was due XX/XX/2023 rather than to my 6 months same as cash promotional balance expiring XX/XX/2023 with an interest rate of 29.74 %. The other credit card companies do not do this! They apply your payment to your first account that is coming due the soonest. Thank goodness I caught this because if I did not, I would have had to pay all of those accrued interest charges. Furthermore Capital One does not allow you to allocate how much of your payment you want allocated to each account online. I had to take time out of my busy day to call Capital One every month to tell them how to apply my payments to my accounts because again, they were applying a majority of my payment each month to the account that wasn't due until XX/XX/2023 with a 0.00 % interest rate instead of applying a majority of my payment to the account coming due XX/XX/2023 with a 29.74 % interest rate. 

For my personal account with Capital One I was charged a {$29.00} late fee and {$17.00} on my XX/XX/2023 statement for being 2 days late in paying my statement balance that was due XX/XX/2023. Capital One received my payment on XX/XX/2023. Other credit card companies and banks allow up to 15 days for a grace period before they charge a late fee. I made my next payment ( in full and on time ) to Capital One on XX/XX/2023 that included paying the {$29.00} and {$17.00} in fees. As if the {$29.00} late fee and {$17.00} interest charges weren't enough, Capital One assessed me another {$11.00} in interest charges on my XX/XX/2023 statement to further penalize me. The representative told me that it is Capital One 's practice to charge interest charges for 2 months straight as a penalty for being late even though I paid off my entire balance the month before. This is egregious. I've been late two months in a row with other credit card companies ( XXXX, XXXX ) and have had no problem getting my fees waived.
