Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NJ
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint:
Capital One sent me a credit card that I had never asked for ( presumably because the sports store XXXX switched its credit card, of which I had one, from XXXX XXXX to Capital One, approximately last year ). I never activated the credit card and posted a letter to Capital One by USPS on XXXX XXXX XXXX, requesting that they cancel this credit card with immediate effect. On XX/XX/, I received a credit card statement ( the first one ever ) from Capital One ( Payment Due Date XXXX XXXX XXXX  Balance {$0.00} ), at an address of mine that I had never given Capital One. In other words, Capital One completely ignored my request to cancel my credit card and instead seems to now hold an active account for me. I never opened an account with Capital One, I never activated the credit card that Capital One sent me ( ending in XXXX ), and I do not wish to have a credit card or account with Capital One ( and told Capital One so, in writing ). Please stop Capital One from making credit card and account decisions for me that are diametrically opposite to my written request, namely to cancel this credit card with immediate effect.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I attempted to initiate a credit freeze with Equifax on behalf of my XXXX XXXX son. I mailed the requisite request form, photocopies of identifying documents, and a cover letter stating my request for a credit freeze to the Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, GA in late XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I never heard back, and was told by Equifax employee # XXXX in early XX/XX/XXXX that the credit freeze request had never been received. I sent a second request with the requisite forms, identifying documents, and cover letter to the same address in early XX/XX/XXXX. I received a letter back from Equifax, dated XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, that said they were unable to process my request because they needed additional information. However, the letter did not clarify whose information they needed ( myself or my son ), and I followed Equifax instructions in my initial request by sending copies of all requisite identification forms. I called Equifax to get clarification on XXXX XXXX, and Equifax employee # XXXX told me that Equifax did not have any documentation from my earlier requests. This claim is contradicted by the XXXX XX/XX/XXXX letter I received from Equifax saying they had received my request. I asked to speak with a supervisor but was told that none were available. Employee # XXXX said she had created escalation ticket XXXX and suggested I fax the forms to XXXX instead of mailing them. I do not have a fax machine. I still wish to place a credit freeze on my XXXX XXXX XXXX son 's file, and do not know what else I can do. 

I successfully initiated credit freezes for my son with XXXX and XXXX on the first attempts.
