Consumer complaint received 2023-10-07 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, capital one sent me a text message asking me did I try to make a purchase on my platinum credit card ending in XXXX for {$330.00} with XXXX? Text back yes or noto protect your account. I texted XXXXCapital One denied the charges. Capital one then says-Let 's take care of this right away. We temporarily stopped the use of your card to help keep your account safe. Now let 's report any purchases you didn't authorize ( including this one ), and then we'll send you a new card. FYI, any unauthorized charges will remain on your account until you report them and get a new card. 

Tap this link to get started : https : //capital.one/fraud. Nope! Scam! I will be saving this message. Then capital text me and said-I didn't understand your request because I'm still learning. But I can tell you about your accounts and recent purchases, and you can also pay your credit card bill with me. I said No! In XXXX of XXXX I received a billing statement with a new account number ending in XXXX and a interest rate of 31.99 %. I called capital one to inform them about what was done to my credit card account. They told me that the only way that I could receive a increase in interest rate is that I would have to authorize to transfer my balance to a new credit card. I said that I didnt authorize anything so you need to decrease my interest rate immediately! The supervisor said that there wasnt anything she could do. She will try to see if she could get the manager to solve the issue. Then I contacted the CEO XXXX XXXX of capital one and told him about the problem by email on XX/XX/XXXX because nobody would resolve my problem that they caused on my credit card. I spoke to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX on the phone and he tried to deny all text conversations after I read them to him. I told him that I wanted a refund of {$350.00} for the interest that was charged on my new credit card that I did not authorize. I told him that I wanted to be compensated for the suffering that his company caused me for closing my credit card without authorization and charging me a high interest rate of 31.99 % on a new credit card that I did not authorize to receive. He said to me that I was right who wants a high interest rate. He said he would call me back with his decision, but he never did. Instead he sent me a letter via fed ex with changes to the card policy that said he can change anything in his credit card policy and close my credit card, as well as change the interest rate without notifying me first. I called and told him that he could not do that and it was against the law. I told him that capital one owed me {$350.00} for the interest rate overage on my credit card. I should not have to suffer for his employee intentionally closing my credit card account and transferring my balance to another credit card without my authorization.

Company: CAINE & WEINER COMPANY, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
XXXX paid me a quarterly sales bonus based on the revenue I influenced as a Technical Specialist, and later told me that it really was an " advance ''. I never consented to or signed a contract that said I agreed to be compensated in such a bizarre manner. After the money hit the back, I naturally assumed it was my mine and spent it. Since they had a bad year, they claim I owe them {$2800.00}. Neither the creditor, CAINE & WEINER COMPANY INC, or the original creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX can show I owe them this money contractually. 

They put a collection on my credit report, instantly dropping it by XXXX points. Candidly, what you have here is a XXXX dollar company harassing a former employee under dubious pretenses.
