Capital One Credit Card Complaint

Credit line increase/decrease

Capital One Credit card department,

Credit line increase/decrease Illinois

I APPLIED FOR A CREDIT LINE INCREASE WITH CAPITAL ONE. THE DENIAL REASON INDICATED " YOUR AVERAGE MONTHLY PAYMENT IS TOO LOW ''. I HAVE CONSISTENTLY PAID MY MONTHLY PAYMENT ON TIME AS WELL AS PAID MORE THAN THE REQUIRED MINIMUM PAYMENT UPON BILLING CYCLE. MY CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT IS INTEREST FREE, THUS THERE WAS NO INCLINATION TO RUSH TO PAY OFF ACCOUNT, ALTHOUGH I MADE MORE THAN THE REQUIRED MINIMUM AMOUNT DUE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THAT I HAVE MADE SEVERAL SMALL INTERMITTENT PAYMENTS, WHICH ARE BEING TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. HENCE, THE " TOO LOW MONTHLY PAYMENT '' RATIONALE FOR DENIAL. THE SMALL PAYMENTS I MADE WERE NOT REQUIRED. THEY WERE SIMPLY DISCRETIONARY PAYMENTS WHICH I HAD NO IDEA WOULD POSE A NEGATIVE IMPACT UPON EVALUATION FOR A CREDIT LINE INCREASE. I HAVE PAID MORE THAN THE ACTUAL REQUIRED MINIMUM PAYMENT EVERY STATEMENT PERIOD. CAPITAL ONE HAS DEMONSTRATED UNFAIR CONSUMER PRACTICES BY CONSIDERING MY PAYMENTS WHICH ARE NOT REQUIRED OR RELEVANT TO MY ACTUAL REQUIRED BILLING STATEMENT. FURTHERMORE, THE SMALL PAYMENTS DO NOT INFLUENCE MY CREDIT REPORT IF THEY ARE NOT RELEVANT TO AN ACTUAL REQUIRED PAYMENT. THE DENIAL REASON IS NOT SUBSTANTIATED BY FACTS. A REVIEW OF MY ACCOUNT CLEARLY REFLECTS THAT I HAVE PAID MORE THAN THE MINIMUM PAYMENTHE UPON BILLING CYCLE. ANY OTHER PAYMENTS MADE ON ACCOUNT OUTSIDE OF BILLING CYCLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN USED AS AS A BASIS FOR " LOW PAYMENT '' DENIAL REASONS. NOT TO MENTION, SMALLER PAYMENTS WERE DISCRETIONARY. I APPLIED FOR AN AUTOMATED CREDIT LINE INCREASE ON -/-/16 AND WAS APPROVED FOR $750.00, BUT I DECLINED OFFER AND DECIDED TO WAIT. I REQUESTED A CREDIT LIMIT INCREASE FOR THE SAME ACCOUNT ON -/-/16 AFTER CHANGING MY MIND FROM PREVIOUS -/-/16 REQUEST AND RECEIVED THE DENIAL REASON WHICH I AM DISPUTING. I WAS APPROVED UPON REVIEW OF THE SAME PAYMENT HISTORY FOR A CREDIT LIMIT INCREASE ON -/-/16, BUT DENIED ON -/-/16 UPON RESUBMISSION.
