Verified ReviewerCapitalOne Has Attorneys that Spy On You
Dear Community,
It has come to my attention, due to the recent economic environments, that there are attorneys who are illegal and greedy who call themselves 'searching' for any type of military jobs that a person has applied to.
This is highly illegal, and a civilian bank company should not have accessed if one has applied to any type of government contract jobs.
Please report Capital One to your senators and have them know that Capital One has violated existing federal laws, including other laws with the USA amendment.
I am sick and tired of sleazy, no-good consumer 'attorneys' trying to take me to court over a little $1,000 amount (the main part is not to reach $500.00) when I have already told them I am looking for a full-time job! They still try to force you to pay what you don't have, or else they use their sleazy attorneys in an attempt to garnish your wages and send you to court so then it can be a record on your account, thus making it impossible to find a job.
This is illegal behavior and it needs to be dealt with.
- Dishonest in their practices and polices
- Harassment
- Illegal activities
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: REPORT CAPITAL ONE TO THE FEDS
Fraud
I had two secured a platinum 500 and quicksilver 300. I paid my cards as soon as I utilized them.
I had been renting from a few places Hertz was for the last month. Again I was paying daily or weekly cash and some days Id go to the cafe I had just purchased a vehicle, I literally just got off the phone and I got to put my bag in the tow truck had left. The local office hadnt even known, supposedly. My money was never taken in.
Also my items had been taken in the vehicle. So, they billed my 300.00 secured quicksilver card 2400. I dispute and so. Capital said.
June 19th I was given 894 until the investigation was complete.
I think the letter came and said that. It was supposed to come off it still hasnt and my credit score dropped 34 points.
User's recommendation: They are going to leggy eat the secured debit

Verified ReviewerPoor support for clients
Don't expect Capital One to support their customers
Capital One Venture supports businesses who deliver defective merchandise. The product didn't work as advertised and when I challenged the credit card charge they didn't support their client; they supported the business. Capital One's time frame for credit card challenges is antiquated and unreasonable.
- Support vendors who deliver defective merchandise
Preferred solution: Approval of disputed charge after return of defective product to vendor
User's recommendation: Don't use Capital One Venture Card

Verified ReviewerShady practices
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding the inconsistent and misleading information I have received from multiple Capital One customer service representatives. Over the past two weeks, I have contacted your customer service department multiple times regarding unrestricted access to my account, and each time I called, I received conflicting information that not only caused confusion but also delayed my ability to make informed decisions about my account.
To ensure accuracy, I recorded these conversations for my personal records. These recordings clearly demonstrate the discrepancies in the information provided by your representatives. This inconsistency is unacceptable, and I find it concerning that I am unable to rely on your staff to provide accurate and consistent guidance. I expect transparency, professionalism, and consistency from a financial institution of Capital One's standing.
I request that this matter be investigated thoroughly. I also ask that appropriate action be taken to ensure that your representatives are properly trained and held accountable for the information. In response to a recent interaction with a representative who requested my bank account number after I submitted a bank statement to verify my address, while I understand the need for proper documentation, I am concerned about the security implications of providing my full bank account number, especially when a bank statement already serves as a verified document issued by my financial institution. For security reasons, I am uncomfortable sharing my full account number and would appreciate clarification on why this information is necessary when the bank statement should already suffice for address verification purposes.
Please let me know if there is an alternative way to verify my address or if additional documentation (such as a utility bill or government-issued correspondence) would be acceptable. I am writing to raise a serious concern about this interaction with one of your representatives. I was asked to provide my full bank account number after uploading a bank statement for proof of address. When I expressed my concern about sharing this sensitive information, I requested that the account be closed instead if such details were required.
However, the representative refused to proceed with closing the account, citing that she could not assist me because I informed her I was recording the call. I find this response highly inappropriate and concerning. I want to make it clear that I take the handling of my personal and financial information very seriously. If Capital One insists on requiring my full bank account number despite already receiving a legitimate bank-issued document, and if your representatives continue to obstruct reasonable requests, I will be forced to consider taking legal action to protect my rights and ensure accountability.
Please escalate this matter immediately and provide a resolution.
I expect a prompt response explaining how Capital One intends to address this issue. I have emailed these addresses with no response

Verified ReviewerCatch 22 from ***
JULY 2025...Trying to make a CC payment and update my phone number in my profile. Can't log in to my account on my laptop OR on the mobile app because Two-step verification wants to text the old phone number.
I FINALLY got a person on the phone after a nightmarish roundabout for 40 minutes and tried to update the phone number because I don't have that number any longer. They said to update the number they would send me a link on my phone, to the old number THAT DOESN'T EXIST. They said in order to update my phone they HAD to send the link to the other phone...so I gave up on that part altogether. I said fine, can a make a payment?
She told me to log into my mobile app to make the payment. I said how? I can't log into the app because the Two-step verification wants to send a code to the old phone. I need to update my phone number.
She, NOT KIDDING, says ok I will send you a link to update your phone number to the number you have on file...THE OLD PHONE NUMBER. Thank God I only have a $300 limit on this card because I am going to have to eat it on my already *** credit score because they WILL NOT UPDATE my phone number and I am dead in the water.
I asked for a supervisor and she told me there weren't any available just then but she would have one call me as soon as possible...ON THE NUMBER THEY HAVE ON FILE. I give up.
User's recommendation: Don't get involved with these people. Just don't.
I would like to go less than 1. The commercials are completely different than the bureacratic rat's nest that is this company.
I had money in Ing Direct and can't get it out. My account is restricted and they won't release the funds even though we follow their instructions.
I have called at least five times and haven't made any progress.
This has been going on for over 30 days. As soon as I can, I am closing this account and cancelling my credit cards.
User's recommendation: Don't do business with them.
Three phone calls to activate debit cards had reception SO faulty they cd not take my number NOR have a conversation with me.
Cannot activate new debit cards. That number has terrible reception and would not recognize me NOR my new card number Had to hang up three times.
Preferred solution: Apology
Increase in credit
I would prefer to speak to a live person who can CLEARLY speak and understand English. Having to repeat myself to a computer is horrid.
This company should think about customer service differently, it makes enough to pay people for that.
Better customer service equals better revenue, thus increasing shareholder value. Company sucks for doing AI bulls@$&!
- Ai phone crap
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

Verified ReviewerApplaud their excellent customer service
I had to charges on my credit card- both online purchases. One- was a small charge ~$28.00 but the 2nd one was over $4,000.00.
The $28 one from Claire's Jewelry- I never received the product. Multiple emails to their online support (the only way to contact), refused to refund my money or investigate where my items were sent. The big one was with Lufthansa. I received an email with confirmation of my refund, but have not rceived it in 20 days.
Emails & phone calls to a live person did not help. I only kept getting the same answer- it was process and refunded. I called Capital One and explained the situation with both charges.The very helpful customer service person filed disputes with both companies.
I do have wait up 90 days for final resolution but in the meantime, they have credited my account. Hats off to Capital One
- Good customer service
- No need for a travel alert
- Website easy to log into and use

Verified ReviewerOutrageous interest rates and not willing to negotiate with anyone other than the rich.
I no longer will ever get a credir card from any financial institution in the United States ever. I even had my retirement funds stolen from me by hackers.
Even at the much vaunted Vanguard. I will never use Truist, Capital One or Vanguard again. None of them are trustworthy.
When I lived in the United Kingdom none of this garbage ever happened. Basically I no longer trust any American Financial institutions at all
User's recommendation: Use only cash or debit cards or get the *** out of the United States

Verified Reviewer |Too high interest and no possibility of negotiating owed amounts
Someone opened a card with this company in my name without my knowledge. Despite my attempts to negotiate they are now taking me to court
User's recommendation: Never ever under any circumstances use this despicable company.
Unresolved
I have not received a refund or card. I was approved online for a card and the deposit of $200 was taken from my account.
A few days later I received a letter saying that my card was not approved. So where is my refund?

Thank You for Your Reply! We are processing your message.
Your comment is successfully posted.

Both my comments only point out you are being argumentative with them. You are hesitant to provide what they want.
My response is, then go elsewhere to get your needs met.
You don’t get to post here and only receive yes-man type support. I don’t have an opinion if you or they are wrong, but like I said go elsewhere.
You’re entitled to your opinion, but I shared my experience to warn others and possibly connect with people who’ve had similar issues, not to argue. If you don’t find value in what I posted, feel free to move on. No one’s forcing anyone to agree, but dismissing others’ concerns with blanket judgments doesn’t help the conversation either.
"warn others and possibly connect" The "value" in your post and others like it is entertainment. Most people who come here are usually whiners who think that they're going to change a business.
They usually pull the "you must work for them" card if someone disagrees with their post. Others who come here are bored and love to comments on trash posts like yours.
You will NOT connect with anyone through this platform. What you do is help a foreign run site by posting nonsense and drawing eyes to ads.
Lmao
Ha ha ha
I’m cackling lol Both of your comments point out that you’re an employee of capital one or a very bitter and lonely human being.
I was approved for a line of credit and about two days later I was asked for more information due to a fraud investigation. I am not the only who has this issue.
On Reddit you will find that this is a typical issue.
I’m working on uploading the conversation for content. But thanks for the feedback
You sound like you are looking for a fight. You aren’t clear as to what led to Capital One needing any info to begin with. You should just go where that credit card/bank exists that follows policies you seem familiar with.

No, I’m not a Capital One employee. When I read your post, it was evident you want to withhold information from them.
You are also being argumentative with them acting as if you are right so your terms must be met. If their requests don’t match with what you feel comfortable with, go elsewhere.
You’re definitely a capital one employee or just miserable. I’m not having a screaming match with you.
I said what I said.
You woke up with my post on your mind. Your a little to invested with matters that none of your concern.
Wow, that reply is unusually defensive and negative for a site where people come to share personal experiences. It almost reads like something written by a Capital One rep trying to do damage control.
If not, then it’s just someone oddly invested in tearing down another person’s valid experience. Either way, it’s a strange vibe. I had only one other issue posted to this site that has been resolved.
You’re trying to invalidate my experience for what ????? If you’re going to respond, maybe aim for support or constructive conversation, not bitterness.
