I made a purchase which was flagged for fraud by the credit card company. They did not notify me they had frozen my account. The reason they gave for not notifying me is that I had to give them permission to contact me, and I hadn't checked the box on their website to allow them to notify me. 

I found out they had frozen my account by a number of transactions that were declined. When I did contact them they said I hadn't provided permission for them to contact me. 

what kind of company has a policy like this? I'm disappointed in capital one and will discontinue use of that card in the future.
