Complaint narrative:
I was mailed an offer for a secured credit card. I was told that after 12 months of payments the secured credit card would become a regular credit card. In addition, I was told after 3 months I would be eligible for a credit increase. I did not get a credit increase after 3 months, and after 12 months of payments, I was told I would not be given a regular credit card. I requested to close the account in XXXX XX/XX/2014 and I filed a complaint regarding the credit card company not issuing me regular credit card. I would like to file an additional complaint for the credit company falsely reporting the balance owed on the account, not reporting the account was closed on my behalf, and causing a negative reporting issue on my credit report and transferring my account to a third party collection agency. I spoke with XXXX, an accounts recovery supervisor, I also spoke with disputes. I informed XXXX departments that the information reported was incorrect and that they needed to correct it. Disputes said if I got the CFPB involved I would need to speak with accounts. I spoke with accounts again, XXXX, said she would not correct the information.

Complaint narrative:
I keep getting calls from someone named XXXX. The recorded message says to call them or they will contact family members concerning an unknown debt. I did some digging and found this is coming from a company called XXXX which is part of World Wide Processing Group llc. Neither company have a state license to operate as collection agency from the state of XXXX. This is illegal contact under federal as well as state laws. If they have anything that is legal then they should send a letter to be within the law. No company can attempt to collect a debt from a citizen of XXXX without a state license to operate as a collection agency. These XXXX companies are in violation of XXXX state law simply by calling me. I would like to see them in court here in XXXX County XXXX where I live. I believe because of the illegal tactics used that anything they think they may have will not stand up to the light of a courtroom.

In XXXX Capital One filed a XXXX with IRS for a charge off of a XXXX card debt in XXXX. I have no records of this at all. I found out about it from the IRS. On call Capitol One, they will not send any documentation, only the card number which is not mine. I have never had any calls, letters or other correspondence on this issue. The IRS is currently charging me interest and has threatened fines and will not even discuss relief on this issue without documentation, of which I have none. I did work for a company that filed bankruptcy around XXXX and it is possible that my name was attached to a corporate card at that time, but those records are no longer in existence. and if that is the case, why would Capital One wait 12 years to do something about it. 
I have spoken to at least XXXX different people at Capital One, including XXXX supervisors in the recovery division, and have been offered no help. I have asked for documentation and have been told that the documentation was mailed to some XXXX XXXX that I never heard of. I asked repeatedly for them to email of fax me the account info so that I had something to show the IRS but was told no.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I took out a loan through my bank to pay off this credit card. My bank called them directly for the payoff amount and mailed the check. Company mailed the check back to the bank stating they could not credit to account. Bank immediately mailed the check back without changing anything. Company cashed it, and we assumed it paid off the account. After the account was sent to collections, we started asking questions as to where the money was credited to, and we wanted statements. The company, or the collection agency were not able to furnish us with statements, or any kind of answers. During this time, it has been reporting my credit as a charge off account. This has taken years to get no resolution, and it needs to be resolved. It 's negatively affecting my credit, and I am unable to move on with my life. We have provided all companies with documenting emails and copies of the cashed check to no resolution. During the time of the payoff, Capital One bought XXXX, so it is my belief that this situation happened in error during the handover.

Complaint narrative:
I have this card since XX/XX/XXXX with the initial balance transfer of {$450.00}. I have paid on time never late. I do n't use it unless it is emergency, not checking my statement. I did not realized that I was still being charged for the balance transferred since XX/XX/XXXX. I also did not realized that my monthly payment did not go towards the beginning balance transferred. I also did not know that I was charged with the interest of 23.24 % each month to this day XX/XX/XXXX of {$8.00} per month. How will I ever pay this off? If non of my payment goes to previous balance. Why are they splitting the payment to purchases and not toward the initial balance transferred. I think this is so unfair not to apply to the oldest balance first.

Company: ECMC GROUP, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I have student loan debt and was in default for a long time. When I finally got a job I did n't really make enough to make payments, but instead of trying to work out a solution I ignored the problem for a while. I finally started working things out in 2014 and qualified to consolidate all my loans but XXXX, which were getting ready to garnish my wages. I asked the collection company if they would release them to be consolidated but they refused. My wages are being garnished at 15 % of my total income, not just disposable income. It is my understanding that it should be 15 % of whatever I make over the federal poverty level. I have tried to ask the collections to correct it, but they said that my employer must not be using the form given them to figure the correct amount. Bottom line, I can not be self sufficient and be on my own with this amount of money coming out of my check every pay. I would like them to adjust the amount they take or add those loans to my consolidated loans in which I qualify for the income based repayment plan which is more affordable to me. I do n't want to end of losing my job because I ca n't afford transportation there. My living expenses are a hardship just to take care of bare minimum items.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX, I opened a XXXX with Capital One. This card was marketed as a business card, not a personal one. Billing and payments were handled by the accounting department of my company. I discovered that my company made late payments for the card XX/XX/XXXX, and closed the account. Capital One then began to report the late payments on my personal credit report. I contacted them to ask them to remove this information because I did not have control of the payments directly. They refused to do this. It is my opinion that Capital One misrepresents this card as a business card, when as it turns out, they merely write the name of the business on the card, and do not report credit issues in the name of the business. This is a deceptive and fraudulent practice. I would like Capital One to remove this item from my personal credit report, and properly report it on the credit report of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I also think they should be made to cease the false marketing of this product so that others will not be taken advantage of and have their credit wrongly affected.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I have a credit card account with Capital One. The limit on this account is {$500.00}. I took a couple of cash advances when the account was first open. I have made purchases also. Never have I exceed the {$500.00} dollar limit. However on each monthly statement, " Balance subject to interest rate '' on purchases amount changes after each payment. It either goes up on down depending on purchases and payment. The interest on " Balance subject to interest rate '' is the same as Cash Advances. The balance on CASH ADVANCES has only decrease less than {$2.00} over the last two years, BUT the interest rate is the same as for PURCHASE. Payments have been made over the last 2 years. No portions of my payments have been applied to CASH ADVANCES. There were times that I paid more than the minimum on this account and NOTHING has gone toward the CASH ADVANCES balance. HOWEVER, I am being continually charged the same interest rate and not seeing a declining balance. Each month this company is getting an extra couple of dollars buy not applying any of the payments toward cash advances. All payments goes to purchases until this account is paid off. But there is the interest charges continuing on cash advances even if you make more than the minimum payment amount.

Complaint narrative:
Capital One Credit Card has been charging continuous regular interest rate plus cash advance interest rate, even the loan was fully paid.

Even I almost paid it off XX/XX/XXXX, but they are continuing to charge cash adv interest, thy offered me {$20.00} credit this month, but i told them that i will report them and the {$20.00}, is not enough credit for the interest they keep on billing me. They told me to call again next month to check and see if I was billed again for the cash adv int. but i just want to let you know for the credit card companies bad practice killing the small people, trying to keep afloat in this difficult times.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
My company has a credit card account with Capital One. They have been charging interest on this account even though the card is paid off every month. 
We have to call them each time to obtain the credit for the illicit interest charge. Capital One considers a payment late if not received on a particular date and does not consider the post mark date as the date of payment. 
If Capital One receives the payment XXXX day or XXXX days later than the published due date the annual percentage rate increases to 29.4 % which seems predatorial.

Complaint narrative:
This is a Rewards XXXX XXXX Account with Capital One. Terms call for XXXX reward point to be awarded for every {$20.00} in average monthly balance. So, if my average monthly balance was {$100000.00}, then I would receive XXXX reward points for that month. Historically, points have ALWAYS been credited at the end of a month or early the following month. 

I recently ( late XXXX 2015 XXXX made a substantial deposit that more than doubled the cash balance in this account. However I have yet to receive -- it has been 40 days as of this writing -- a point reward that reflects this larger balance. When I contacted Cap One I was told that a " systemwide computer issue '' is to blame and that I should receive my reward points within 60 days but, if this does n't happen, then I should call back, open a case and the matter will be investigated further. 

XXXX final points:1 ) In addition to reward points, there is also a cash interest component associated with this account. Cash interest continues to be credited at the end of each month, as it always has been. No " systemwide computer issue '' here. 

2 ) Reward points from this account are, effectively, cash equivalents in that they can be used to offset travel purchases -- airline tickets, hotel expenses, rental cars, for example. 

3 ) I have had this account for over XXXX years. At no point in the past have I ever had to wait over 40 days to have reward points credited to my account. Only recently, after the balance increased substantially, has this issue arisen. And frankly, Capital One 's explanation about a " computer issue '' is not credible, in my opinion.

Complaint narrative:
I obtained a payoff amount by phone on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX @ XXXX which was higher than the payoff amount that was calculated. They could not explain the difference. Coincidently the difference is the same amount that I had disputed earlier and had been resolved in my favor. I paid off the amount due as stated on the loan statement and disputed the difference. They have continued to add interest and late payment charges on this disputed amount and after numerous letters and forwarding them all of my cancelled checks for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX and including a spread sheet that shows the balance going down after the resolution in my favor on the unsubstantiated charges and then jumping back up by the same amount just a couple of months later.I have been mailing, phoning and even went to the bank to get an explanation. After almost a full year the only response I have received is " It does n't look right. I will check into it '' from the local branch manager and XXXX letter in XXXX saying they were looking into it. There has still been no attempt to justify the charges. 
They have made repeated charges for which they could make no justification since taking over this account from XXXX XXXX. In XXXX they charged late fees when I had cancelled checks showing that I had paid on time. They initially claimed XXXX late payment back years before they took over which I paid, Than they mysteriously found more late payments from when XXXX had the account that XXXX never made reference too and tried to claim them. When I threatened to report this to the banking authorities they resolved the amount in my favor. A couple of months later the same charges re-appeared and again I could obtain no valid explanation.
