Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Credit card:

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, I received an email from Kohl 's, alerting me that my contact email address had been changed. There was a contact number where I could call if this was not a request I had initiated. I called, but what followed was over two hours of phone trees, endless hold times, and conversations to others who ultimately insisted I ignore it and that everything was fine. At one point, the gentleman who answered the call ( in another department ) could n't even verify that the address had been changed. I finally got to someone who informed me that a {$45.00} charge had been placed against my card, which I most definitely did not initiate, and it became evident to me that my account had been hacked and my privacy & identity had been compromised ( this was after the conversation with the man who had actually advised that I ignore the situation altogether ). Yet again, I tried to call -- this time their Fraud department -- but yet again, nobody was answering calls. I was unable to log in to the account online to dispute the charge, since my email address had been changed, so I had no options with respect to that, either. I was quite flustered, so I went up to an actual store location to simply close the card, in order to keep the fraudulent charges from coming in. Incredibly, at the store location itself, I was informed that I 'd have to call the corporate office to do so, which boggles my mind -- the account can be opened at the store, so why ca n't it be closed there, as well? At the end of this entire 3 hour fiasco, which now included a trip to a physical location, I have finally been able to successfully close my card, but I still have n't been able to contact anyone about the fraudulent charge, nor do I have any idea how many other fraudulent charges may be forthcoming, nor do I know the extent to which this possible case of identity theft has been extended.

Credit line increase/decrease

Credit card:

Complaint: Each month I receive my credit card statement I make a payment usually the minimum amount due and sometimes a little more. Once I make a payment the amount paid is reflected as my available credit plus any credit that has remained from the last statement. Example : I receive my statement and the minimum amount due is XXXX. I make the payment in the amount of XXXX dollars and my credit card account shows XXXX dollars available credit plus any existing available credit remaining from the last statement. The issue or concern I have is that when I receive a new statement I have a new minimum amount due and my available credit has been reduced subtracting interest that has accrued instead of the interest being calculated along with other transactions that would give me my monthly minimum amount due. It 's almost like I am being double billed. It is my understanding that the interest charges are calculated in the minimum amount due each month and the only time available credit would be reduced is when purchases are made.I do n't know any other bank or financial institution that reduces your available credit because of interest charges.

Problems when you are unable to pay

Consumer Loan: Vehicle loan

Complaint: Through a divorce settlement our ( my ex wife ) and I had defaulted on our vehicle loan. Understandably we recognized it would be in repossession. Both capital one auto finance and myself had been in constant monthly contact due to the non payment and I explained we could no longer afford the vehicle. No problem, I understood they would take possession. I had told them the location, parked it easily so there would be no issue to obtain it. It took them weeks to come take the vehicle. I kept calling but they seemed not to concerned and told me that they would find a tow company and remove the vehicle. No problem. However, weeks before this, maybe more like months, I tried working with them and had a family member willing to purchase the vehicle for XXXX less than what was owed..which at that point that XXXX was entirely all late fees and finance charges..not principle..they said NO! Ok, so fast forward XX/XX/2015 they finally took possession after months of going back and forth waiting for them to either make a decision on selling the vehicle to my family member or take possession..The vehicle was tagged, titled, registered and insured out of XXXX. Insured through XXXX. The vehicle was in XXXX during the repossession because I was up there for a few months during the holidays and looking to relocate possible. So, they finally took possession..I never heard a word from them..not a word, not a call, email, letter, certified..nothing..they simply sold it at auction..I 'm assuming and sold it..the balance owed they simply charged off on my credit..leaving me with a charge off balance of over XXXX. I only found out after recently pulling my credit and seeing what they had done..according to XXXX repossession statue they are responsible for allowing me a chance to buy the vehicle in full, tell me where the vehicle would be stored, tell me the auction day and time and location..and also what they sold it for..Also, through XXXX statue they violated my right to know..giving me zero information..And worse than that they sold the vehicle for far below fair market value for that vehicle..simply taking what they could get and charge me the difference..which is all interest, and fees..they got their principle amount back through the auction..but I was given ZERO notice of anything..I would of bought the vehicle back at the auction..I had offered them double what they sold it for..They also violated XXXX repossession law..I 've written both the state attorney office in XXXX. And my state representative in XXXX. Both parties have stated that capital one clearly violated my rights..they took my vehicle which they had the right, because I defaulted on the payments, but violated my rights in the way they repossed the vehicle. Thus leaving me with terrible credit, an XXXX balance on my credit and I 'm helpless..

Billing disputes

Credit card:

Complaint: Last year I was solicited for a bumper to bumper warranty product from what turned out to be XXXX different companies that were both charging me for an un necessary warranty on a car I am leasing that has a full factory warranty in place. I would like a refund as both companies mis represented the facts to me claiming that I could n't use the other and ended up both charging my credit card. I eventually changed the Capital One Card number to avoid additional charges. I would like assistance in obtaining refunds from these XXXX companies who I feel turned out to be scam. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NJ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NJ Both companies were charging my card for {$110.00} and {$200.00} for roughly 8 months each. They were charging my Capital One Credit Card. I am XXXX and my son recommended that I reach out to the CFBP to help me in sorting out this mess. I do take some responsibility for providing my credit card, however I feel they mis represented facts and confused me and I didnt realize I was getting charged by XXXX different companies for many months. Thank you in advance XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NJ XXXX XXXX

Managing the loan or lease

Consumer Loan: Vehicle loan

Complaint: I believe that I my consumer rights are being violated by Capital One Auto Finance. I refinanced my car with Capital One Auto Finance. At the time I chose the terms that my loan would be for 65 months at {$290.00} per month. I received documentation that this would be the terms of the agreement. I received documentation through the mail that the terms were different from what I signed up for. I contacted Capital One 's customer service dept. and explained the situation. The representative assured me that my terms were correct and that it was a mistake on their part. Meanwhile, I continued to make the monthly payments of {$290.00} per month. Capital One started contacting me that I owed additional money. At first I assumed that it was taking them a while to get the mistake corrected, but after being contacted again, I spoke with them and told them that I believed that the amount was in error because of what I signed up for. That is when Capital One decided to tell me that they did n't do it for that amount because the refi amount was different. Capital One never notified me of any of this through the mail. They just continued to show that I owed {$20.00} and even threatened repossession of the vehicle, when I was making monthly payments, that I believed were to be correct. Now, I notice that Capital One Auto Finance has reported to the credit bureau that I was over 60 days late on {$20.00}. I find this to be unfair, especially since I was making my monthly payments and was under the assumption that the terms that I signed up for were correct. I would like for Capital One to resolve this matter before legal actions are taken.

Deposits and withdrawals

Bank account or service: Savings account

Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX opened an online savings account with ING in XXXX XXXX. This account was immediately linked to a checking account at XXXX XXXX XXXX. The ING account was taken over by Capital One when it purchased ING. On XXXX XXXX XXXX, we attempted to make an online transfer of {$700000.00} from the linked XXXX XXXX XXXX account into the Capital One account. On the afternoon of XXXX XXXX we received an email from Capital One that the funds were being held until we call them. They stated that the hold had something to do with a credit check they performed, which we did not authorize. We called the number in the email and were directed to a voicemail, and left a message. Later that day we also responded to the email requesting that this situation be resolved. Two days later, XXXX XXXX, I went with my controller, XXXX XXXX, to a local branch of Capital One and spent 45 minutes attempting to have them help us resolve the situation. An officer in the bank made a phone call and was put on hold, we said we will go back to the office while they try again and will let us know what happens. Upon returning to the office, we received a phone call from Capital One, I verified my social security number and date of birth as requested. The representative ( XXXX ID # XXXX ) then told me that he needed to get another department on the line. After waiting for XXXX minutes on hold. I told the representative I could not wait any longer, and to please call me back when the process was complete. He responded that if we were to hang up, the process would start over again. Not only are they holding my money hostage, they also insist on holing my time hostage in order to get this issue resolved. XXXX also indicated that the transfer was flagged randomly, and not because of the any credit check as stated in the email. I had no choice but to hang up so that I can continue to run my business, and not be held hostage by a convoluted and inefficient system present at Capital One. There was no reason for the transfer to be held up other than random chance, and there is no reason why I need to stay on hold after confirming my information while the problem gets sorted out, and my money released.

Lost or stolen check

Other financial service: Traveler’s/Cashier’s checks

Complaint: The reason I am asking for help is because : every month I buy a XXXX cashier 's check to pay the monthly rent, directed to the Realty company, and on XXXX XXXX 2016 I was made aware by the Realty company that they had not received a check i had submitted on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Immediately I went to XXXX to find out what had happened to the check and I was provided with a copy of the cashed check for XXXX dollars ( cashed in a Capital One BANK ), and in the copy the check is without endorsement and appeared as if it had been ripped. I called the Realty company and send them the copy so they could confirm that in fact it was not them that cashed the check. After confirming that they did not cash it, on XXXX XXXX, 2016 I started the process of a claim for the check that was cashed without endorsement, for clarity, the check was bought at XXXX but cashed in Capital one bank. I was given a period of 120 days for resolution and during these 120 days I have been calling XXXX twice a week with no update except for XXXX saying that they have emailed capital one 8 times and have received no response. When I asked if there was anything they could do, they mentioned that they could not " force '' capital one into responding and I simply had to wait. They also mentioned that upon the completion of 120 days the claim would be closed with no resolution and that I will lose my money. I still have had no answer and I have been very upset because the reason I buy a Cashier 's check is because I thought that the check could not be cashed by someone who it was not payable to and definitely not without an endorsement, I also thought that the funds were secured and I do not understand how it was cashed by Capital one bank without endorsement, and howcome Capital one has not responded back to the Claim I have with XXXX.

Closing/Cancelling account

Credit card:

Complaint: I am XXXX years old ; I was XXXX at the time of my wife 's death on XXXX XXXX, 2014. I contacted Capital One to close my wife 's account. I was not a co-applicant, but an authorized user. I was advised that I could then have a credit card and my wife 's account would be cancelled due to her death. However, her account was not closed, but they replaced me with my wife as the primary card holder. Capital One is now holding me accountable for XXXX of debt that should have been cancelled upon my wife 's death. I live on a fixed income and can not not pay. As an authorize user, I used the account thinking I had a clean slate ; I have tried to rectify this for two years. I have struggled to pay them {$400.00} each month, while waiting for resolution, that never came. They are not able to produce the original application, which will revealed that I was never a joint applicant and did not apply for this card. Please provide any assistance that you can.
