Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (IL)

Im contacting you to dispute the closing of my Capital one quick silver credit card account. 
Capital One closed my account without proper merit per convo with one of their representatives and a letter that was sent to me by them. 
After improperly closing my account they opened another account without my knowledge. 
When closing out my original quick silver card they removed an open credit card with a tenure of over 12 years from my credit report to a closed account. 
Then opened another account making the time of average of open accounts on my credit go down drastically negatively effecting my credit score. 
When their company reopened my account without my knowledge they then charged me a late fee for not making a payment on an account that I wasnt aware of. 
Ive called them several times attempting to get a resolution where both parties are satisfied but no one helps. 
I originally spoke with a representative in May, she stated Capital One improperly closed my account and she will see what can be done to get it back open. 
She told me I dont have to worry about making a payment while things are being figured out on how to get things fixed. 
I never heard anything back from Capital One so I called back in XXXX. 
When I spoke to a rep in XXXX she said there is a late fee assessed to my account because I missed a payment. 
I told her I didnt even know an account was open and I was told not to worry about making a payment until things are resolved and I am now calling to find out a resolution because no one contacted me about my current issue with the closing of my card. 
I made the payment so no more negative things can occur that will go against my credit. 
I complained to that employee just as I did others about my account being closed and now my new complaint involved the fact that an account was opened without my knowledge or authorization. 
And to make matters worse you guys charged me a late fee and potentially another late payment on my credit report. 
I asked to speak to someone who can get this fixed, I git transferred to other reps and there was still no resolution. 
I was told my complaint would be pushed up to someone in a higher department but no one ever got back to me I called back again on XX/XX/year> XXXX, spoke to XXXX employee XXXX XXXX escalated call unit Shes a senior account manager Filed a complaint XXXX ever got back to me about that complain either.
