Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I applied a Capital One card and was approved instantly on XX/XX/XXXX. Then the nightmare started. I provide annual income based on W-2 of last year. A couple of days later I was notified a schedule payment using the newly approved card was decline! Using the app, I found the account was restricted after annual fee was posted. I contacted the customer service the next business day and was told to submit 3 recent bank statements to verify the income. I proposed to provide the 2022 W-2 and recent paystub, in addition to required bank statements. But the proposal was rejected! 

After a whole week without any update ( no email, no phone call, no notification in app ), I called them again and was suprisedly told the account was actually closed several days ago and there was no way to reopen it. They explained that from those bank statements ( direct deposit after tax, retirement allocation and other deductions ) they couldn't reconcile the income I provided during the application. 

How ridiculous it was the way they arbitrated an applicant 's ability to repay the debt and so light-heartedly wasted consumer 's hard inquiries in their credit report. This kind of misbehavior is totally unacceptable. I have 800+ credit score for more than 20 years, it is the first time I was treated so unfairly by a credit company like Capital One. Folks, you need to stay away from it. Don't waste your time and precious credit inquiry.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX, during a review of my PayPal account information, I identified multiple transactions I did not make, nor did I receive any product ( s ) or service ( s ) relating to any of these transactions. I immediately disputed these charges by submitting an online dispute. In my XXXX attempt, I chose to identify these transactions as fraudulent. On XXXX I contacted Customer Service. To my surprise, I was told by the agent that my account address had recently been changed, my email address was changed, and my phone number had been changed as well. As I did not initiate any of these changes, I requested and was advised my account would be blocked/ restricted. This is Identity Theft! Regarding my first Case # XXXX dispute, when PayPal closed the dispute, they determined that certain transactions werent unauthorized and hence couldnt be covered by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I contacted and was advised by Customer Service I would be better served if I changed the reason for the dispute ( XXXX ) to I did not receive any product or service ( XXXX ). ( True statement. ) The XXXX system would not allow me to include the rejected transactions in my Case Dispute # XXXX, so I decided to dispute these in a different manner. Dispute # XXXX then consisted of XXXX items. from XXXX XXXX. Upon completion of the investigation, the dispute was found in my favor, thus the funds were refunded. The other transactions being those deemed to be ineligible by PayPal. In a dispute letter I submitted to PayPal / SYNCB on XX/XX/XXXX, I rejected their " ineligible '' premise and utilized my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act sec 609 ( e ) to help me better understand the details surrounding these questionable changes/ transactions. I requested all transaction records as I hope this new information would help determine the identity of the person or persons that actually DID make the transactions and was, in fact, the benefactor of those products/ services. I have continued to make monthly payments for the charges I actually made and accept full responsibility for those. That ends today as I have paid off them off. The balance remaining for the unauthorized purchases remains at {$830.00}, which has officially been disputed. To date, XX/XX/XXXX, I have not received any correspondence or notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX! Consequently, I have submitted a XXXX letter for a status update. I am also submitting this information to your group.
