Complaint narrative:
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.

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!

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I have had a card for over 2 years. Never had a late payment till now. 

I recently had a rejected payment on my account due to lack of funds. My fault, a transfer hadn't gone through in time. 

In attempting to fix the problem I tried to make a few payments from another account, as each one went through I confidently sent another. I didnt realize at the time that this account couldn't make outside payments and a week later I saw the rejections. 

I understand that my account was closed due to multiple rejected payments in a weeks time. 

However, they never told me the reason, I can only surmise this is the reason. They did offer to help me open a new card ..... 

They have kept 2 years worth of rewards points and refuse to give the cash value. 

They had no trouble closing the account without notice so I couldnt cash in the rewards in time. 

I just want my rewards points. I earned them. I paid {$95.00} a year for them. 

I also want my {$95.00} back since I can no longer use the card.

Complaint narrative:
I took out a loan on XX/XX/year>. When I was closing the loan I was told that I would have to take out insurance products for them to fund the loan. I signed and agreed, however, when I paid off the loan XXXX months later I had to go into the branch to finalize the payoff. I paid online but due to proration and payoff date, I was forced to go to the branch to make an approximate {$7.00} payment. Their website will not take payments under {$10.00}. While there, I read my contract and saw that the dispersed amount for the loan showed a few XXXX more than I was given. I inquired about it and was finally told it was dispersed to an insurance company. The insurance was through a 3rd party and was for Auto Insurance and roadside assistance. They knew that I had full coverage insurance and roadside through my own policy. They knew because they required my insurance declarations for the loan. They also sold me Life Insurance, XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX, and XXXX XXXX Once again, I was told this was required. When I really started questioning it, they produced a copy of the loan documents I signed and said I was informed. The really bad thing is that I had the original loan copies that I signed on the day of the loan closing. They do not match what they have uploaded into their system. I was given a XXXX story about why it changed, but it was XXXX. I provided their corporate office as well as the local branch my copies versus what they have uploaded in their system. It is a blatant insurance scam. I have both copies of the loan agreement. The original and the one they claim is the original. It includes time stamps and dates from when I signed it.
