Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Great here is a formal version of your complaint that you can copy and paste into the CFPB complaint form : Formal Complaint Capital One Credit Card Account Flagged for Fraud After Legitimate Payment Complaint Summary : On XX/XX/year>, I made a successful electronic funds transfer ( EFT ) to my Capital One credit card account in the amount of {$1000.00} from my personal bank account at XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ). Shortly after, my Capital One account was flagged for fraud, and I was restricted from using the card. 

Capital One advised that the fraud alert was triggered due to the payment method being different from my usual pattern, and that they needed to verify the account number and ownership of the funding source before lifting the restriction. 

I authorized Capital One to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX directly while I was on the line with a representative. However, Capital One stated they were unable to complete the verification because XXXX XXXX XXXX required me to be on the call, which I already was. Despite my presence, Capital One failed to verify the account. 

I then followed all of Capital Ones instructions and submitted the requested documentation multiple times, including : XXXX recent bank statement ( initially rejected because the account number wasnt fully visible ), XXXX direct deposit slip showing my full account information, XXXX voided check containing my full name and account number ( submitted on XX/XX/year> ). 

Despite these efforts and multiple submissions, Capital One was still unable to verify the payment. On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a Capital One fraud XXXX named XXXX, who expedited the review. The fraud alert was eventually removed, but as of today, the payment has not been fully applied or made available to restore access to my credit. 

My Concerns : I am concerned about the lack of efficiency and coordination in XXXX Ones verification process, despite my compliance and willingness to provide all required documentation. 
I question whether it is standard or reasonable practice to trigger a fraud alert and restrict a customers account solely because of a change in payment method especially after a legitimate payment has been received. 
I would like to know if this handling aligns with XXXX Ones policies and with applicable consumer protection regulations. 

The ongoing restriction has caused undue stress, inconvenience, and lack of access to credit, even though I acted in good faith and completed all requested actions. 



Let me know if XXXX like to add or remove anything, or if youd like help with a brief cover statement or title to summarize the complaint for the CFPB.
