Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA)

I have had a Capital One Account for at least 5 years. They gave me a {$1500.00} credit increase in 2015. I have always made my payments on time and never late, but in XXXX of 2015, I fell on my way to work for the XXXX in XXXX and XXXX. I was laid up for 4 months with no work. I unable to get workman 's comp because the injury happened before I arrived at work. I was able to get state XXXX but not enough to pay bill and rent. My only resource at the time was to use my Capital One Credit Card to survive and pay rent. {$500.00} in XXXX co-pays otherwise it would have gone to collection. I have ask Capital One to work with me to lower my Interest rate, but they have refused and just keep charging me interest every month so I will not be able to break even with this account in many years. Because of my high balance, my bank will not give me a consolidation loan to pay Capital One off and I ca n't get a credit card with lower interest rate. I do not want to loose this account because it will affect my credit and I have worked hard to bring my score up over the last two years. I am only {$2600.00} in Credit Card debt. I have to be at least XXXX before I can get any help. Please advise me what to do. I have this hanging over my head. I am back to work, but I am XXXX living on XXXX and XXXX retirement only. Thank you

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I previously disputed an inaccurate debt on my credit report with XXXX, XXXX, Experian. The debt, reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on behalf of XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, was verified without sufficient validation. 

Upon requesting documentation, XXXX XXXX XXXX provided two conflicting documents : A summary statement showing a balance of {$2400.00}.

An additional statement with a different balance of {$1400.00} and an incorrect apartment unit number, and a different name.

These inconsistencies raise serious doubts about the debts validity. Despite these issues, the bureaus did not correct or remove the debt from my report, causing significant harm to my credit and affecting my ability to obtain a mortgage.

I am requesting a thorough reinvestigation, requiring legally binding documentation ( e.g., a signed lease or detailed account ledger ) to verify the debts accuracy.

My Capital One credit card has been placed into " Account Restricted '' status for over a week. Capital one had no good reason for initially putting the account into the status, and has refused to remove it. When I initially called the fraud department to discuss the matter on XXXX/XXXX/2016, the fraud specialist wanted to verify some balance transfers that I requested. We were able to verify that no problem. 

However, that is when the problem started. They wanted to verify two payments I had made from XXXX separate checking accounts on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. We had to conference call each credit union to verify that the funds have cleared. For the payment on XX/XX/XXXX, we were able to do that without a problem. Unfortunately, the credit union that I made the payment from on XX/XX/XXXX does not verify information over the phone for account security. They suggested that capital one fax in a request for information and they would respond by fax. Capital One indicated this was not acceptable. Instead, the fraud agent asked me to send in a copy of a recent statement from the checking account. I provided that information to capital one, and called back a few days later. They said that the information was insufficient to remove the restriction and I had to provide transaction details showing that the payment cleared from the checking account. I did that, and capital one said that was not sufficient to remove the restriction. I also provided a letter from the bank indicating that I owned the checking account in question ( the letter had my name, my address, and the checking account number and was signed by a bank officer ). That was also not sufficient to remove the restriction. 

Capital One 's payment verification system is incredibly stupid. Their employees continuously blame me because the credit union wo n't give out information over the phone. At no time prior to the payment being made did Capital One indicate that this type of verification would be needed to accept an ach payment from a checking account. Moreover, they are unwilling to return the payment and let me replace the payment from a different bank that they can verify. In fact, I sent in bill payments while the account has been frozen with the hope that would be sufficient for Capital One. It was not, and there is now a large credit balance on the account. I have never had a payment returned, or been late with a payment on this account. Capital One had no good reason to initially put the account under review. They said something about my protection, which is a complete lie. Mind you, the payment in question was made about 3 weeks ago. The payment has not been returned and Capital One refuses to release the account restriction or tell me what exactly they need to do so. This behavior should be illegal ; as it is unethical for the company to treat me like a criminal despite having no returned payments or late payments on my account.

Capital one approved a pre-authorization of a loan, had to pay {$400.00} for appraisal, this has been done twice once XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Both times refinancing seemed duable, only to find out I got denied again by capital one. They did n't approve a modification nor a refinance. I do not not where to go from here being that my note was sold to capital one from a lender that was predatory.

XXXX XXXX, Owner of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX, XXXX, VA XXXX requested a HELOC on his property. Maximum on that loan was {$45000.00}. When he went to sell the property, Capital One ( second lien holder ) indicates {$95000.00} is owed. They wo n't explain why the amount has increased so drastically other than a generic letter stating " he owes the money ''. I am a licensed Realtor/Broker and have a Power of Attorney to work on his behalf. I am completely at a loss to get any information from Capital One, and do not understand how the real estate records can indicate a lower amount is owed, yet the Loan PayOff Statement indicates almost twice that amount is owed. There was no re-finance, no second appraisal, the consumer signed nothing, and he claims fraud on the part of the bank. I have plenty of documentation to send.

The summon was served to my ex roommate instead of me so i never received the summons. Now the credit card company has a judgment against me because I apparently " defaulted. '' What is my best course of action at this point? Discuss repayment however there is additional debt they claim I owe ( which 90 % are penalties ), or file for BK? Would disputing the judgement be an option since it was never served to me? This is the only neg that is still showing on my record all of my other revolving debts are in good standing.

I have been a customer of Capital One for a few years now and have XXXX credit cards with them. Over the last year and a half, I have requested credit limit increases on both cards and have been denied. XXXX was receiving a message of denial stating that my payments were XXXX small. I increased the payment amounts and started receiving the following denial of credit message : " A credit limit increase is currently not available upon request because Capital One is evaluating account activity at assigned credit limits. '' I have been receiving that message for 8 months now. Additionally, my other card has been receiving the same denial message for 15 months now. This message implies that an evaluation is being performed on the account and that at some point there will either be an increase or a reason for denial based on this evaluation. The fact that these messages started showing up after I increased the payment amount are not a coincidence. I feel that Capital One does not want to provide a legitimate reason for denial and do not have a concrete reason. The evaluation period seems to have no end. So, I contacted their customer service and their customer service was no help. All they were able to do is state that currently they are reviewing the credit limit increase policy. However, the letter does not state that they are reviewing policy ... it states that they are reviewing my account activity. So, either the letter itself is not factual or the customer service representative lied to me. I simply wanted to know when the evaluation period would end or if they could provide me with a concrete reason. I believe this is a violation of regulation B and the FCRA as I do not feel like they are providing me with sufficient reasoning for the denial of credit. I will be attaching a copy of the most recent letter I received - although they are all the same. Additionally, I am attaching the conversation I had with the customer service from Capital One.
