Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Other problem
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I would like to comment on an unethical and inequitable banking practice that is legal and ubiquitous in the industry that financially disadvantages the least advantaged. 

This is the kind of issue that would require legislation to solve. Allow me to describe this as clearly as I can. First some facts as I understand : XXXX, I have XXXX forms of personal credit debt. 
+ Purchases + Cash Advances + Balance Transfers Each of these categories of credit has different interest rates. 

Each category of credit shows up as a separate fee on my statement. 

All three types of debt are expressed as a single balance. 

I am charged " fees '' XXXX every month rather than a single fee for the total balance. One for each category. 

Borrowers can not pay off individual categories of debt. This is an inequity. And probably unethical. At a minimum, it is crippling financially to the entire population. Lenders separate these categories with different terms, yet borrowers can't. How is that fair? 

So, if I borrow {$40.00} in a Cash Advance it is added to my debt of {$10000.00} from Purchases. The amount owed is {$10000.00}. There is then an additional fee of {$20.00} on my statement for interest. Let 's say my usual monthly contribution is {$100.00}. But, this month I pay my usual {$100.00} + the {$40.00} I borrowed + the {$20.00} fee. That's {$160.00}. 

And yet, I still see that {$20.00} for a Cash Advance EVERY MONTH until the ENTIRE {$10000.00} is paid off. They keep charging me at that addition ( higher ) interest rate on money that was NOT borrowed as a cash advance. 

In summary, I could end up paying $ XXXX on a {$40.00} cash withdrawal. How is this honest? When is enough enough? 

So, ok I transfer {$1000.00} to my card. Now, every month I have XXXX fees of {$20.00} to equal {$60.00} in monthly interest fees... forever ... even if I return the {$1000.00} and the {$40.00} plus interest within a month. Again, why should the {$10000.00} on XXXX be charged interest XXXX ways when those debts were paid off? 

How much money will I lose on the {$40.00}? I'm no accountant but it's more than anyone would borrow if they knew! 

Now, I also have transferred a balance. It works exactly the same way as Cash Advances. I thought I was being clever by consolidating my debt. That was a disastrous plan. What are the incentives to transfer a balance? I can't think of any apart from saving 5 minutes on paying two lenders every month.
