Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a Kohls/Capital One visa card that I did not ask for or request. I called Kohls and spoke with supervisors and wrote a letter to Kohls XXXX asking that they not send me this card. I only want to keep my " store '' Kohls credit card. Kohls could not cancel the Capital One visa. I would have to cancel it once I received the card in the mail. I never ask for this card. I never agreed to this card. I never wanted a Capital One/Kohls Visa .

How can a company ( KOHLS ) do this without my permission and not be able to cancel it when I call them to complain.

How they can get away with this is beyond me.

I have cancelled the Capital one visa after several hours of being shuffled around on the phone and finally getting a supervisor. I was told that my store Kohls card will not longer be active as well. Good XXXX XXXX Kohls will no longer be a store I will shop at with this kind of shady practice they should be sued.

I want to note that my husband was not send a Visa card so It appears only some people are treated this way.

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/updated. 

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.
