Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Text sent to Capital One via Email explains the current situation : I am writing to formally demand the immediate releaseor full accountingof $ XXXX in funds held or frozen by Capital One since XXXX. Despite numerous attempts to resolve this matter amicably and following all the institutions instructions, Capital One Bank has failed to provide any written explanation for the hold, nor has any employee met with me in person despite instructing me to appear physically at a Capital One branch for resolution. 

Over the past several years, we have followed Capital Ones directions in good faith, including : Reaching out through formal and informal channels, without a single Capital One representative providing documentation, a cause for the freeze, or legal basis for refusal. 
Being referred to the Unclaimed Property Departments in D.C. and Virginiaall of which have confirmed that they do not have custody of the funds. 

Despite incurring significant personal expenses to travel from XXXX to Washington, D.C.where the account was originally openedfor an in-person resolution as instructed by Capital One, no employee met with us to address our concerns. Over two full business days, we were restricted to telephone communication and shuffled between departments, receiving no new information or resolution. 

We also have direct statements from officials with the D.C. Unclaimed Property Division confirming that Capital Ones referrals were baseless. We view the ongoing delay, misdirection, and lack of transparency as a breach of duty and a potential act of conversionunlawful withholding of property belonging to another.
