Capital One offered a credit card & I accepted. I had a good history for several months & then I moved. Notifying them online of my new address. I received a call from a toll free number. I was told it was Capital One & they needed to verify personal information over the phone. I refused & asked to speak to a supervisor . In that process I was disconnected. I tried calling back a couple times BOTH TIMES being disconnected.  <P/> My account was locked out as under possible FRAUD because I refused to give personal information to someone calling me claiming to be from the credit card company & I had no way of verifying that. I finally moved ag ain, back to my original address on file when I opened the acct. I chatted via the cap one website, they asked a few questions to verify me. THe chat box said verfied but I had to contact another dept to unlo ck my card. After some time I connected & was told provide photo ID with the address that matched my acct. I did that days ago! I am still locked out & they claim FRAUD!  <P/> They were trying to force me to share private information in a dangerous setting and I want everyone to know how stupid such actions are! They lost all this business because another bank provided a better card & I just use them!

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I bought a washer and dryer on or about XXXX XXXX, XXXX from Lowes Home Improvement Store in XXXX Texas for around {$930.00}. ( I am looking for the original receipt ). I was told at the time of purchase that I could pay the balance off over time and I would n't owe any additional charges as long as I paid the balance off in full within one year. I began making monthly payments on the loan. Now I am getting close to having the balance paid off and so I called the company on XXXX XXXX, XXXX to find out where I stand on the payments. From talking to the loan officer on the phone, I found out that this is a credit card that is handled by a different company. When I asked about my payoff amount, it was higher than I expected ( I had calculated the difference between the original purchase price less the payments I had made ) and I inquired why. I was told that I had been charged " late fees '' because some of my monthly payments were not on time. And maybe some of those late fees also had incurred interest charges? In any event, the loan officer credited back {$83.00} to my account, representing all of the late fees, although I am not sure that all charges have been credited back to my account. It is clear to me that if I had not called to inquire then I would have had to pay these late fees. And then, how can they say that I owe a late fee when I am not subject to interest? I clearly got the impression when I took out the credit line that as long as I paid the full balance within one year then that would be all that I would owe, regardless of any monthly payments.
