Capital One Credit Card Complaint

Capital One Credit card department,

Credit line increase/decrease South Carolina

Capital One sent me an approved credit card with a - - dollar limit. This sounded like a good idea since my - credit score was obliterated due to a house staying on the market for twenty months from -/-/- to almost -/-/- while trying to pay the new mortgage on the house we had moved to. After having the new Capital One card for a short period of time, they began sending me e- mails telling me that if I would update my personal info they would increase my line of credit. I did n't want an increase so I NEVER updated my profile. They increased my credit anyway. Because our finances have changed for the worst over the last several years there were many times I used the card still thinking I could get the balance under control. We are a family of - living on - annually, not so easy to do. Capital One offered me another card with no interest for nine months. I decided at least I could switch the balance since the previous card 's interest rate was now around 23 % and my balance was getting high. After I received the card I


me requesting this. Now the promotional interest rate is gone and the new rate is around 25 % just like the other and no matter how much I sacrifice here at home I ca n't get my head above water with reducing my balances with these - Capital One cards. I understand I am responsible for what I charged. It just seems to me they are even more responsible and their predatory practices should be investigated. They are taking great advantage of the consumer. I know I 'm not the only one. My only goal was to help repair my credit. Now I am - in credit card debt to these people and I do n't even know how it happened. It happened so fast. I have always been very responsible with my bills, but these last seven years have been like a financial nightmare. I wish I just had my bad credit and had never heard of Capital One. It is definitely affecting my health. I feel like a fool. Thank you so much for the chance to tell my story and I hope it will help other consumers in the future.
