Capital One Credit Card Complaint

APR or interest rate

Capital One Credit card department,

APR or interest rate Kansas

I am writing to file a complaint about Capital One. It is regarding my account numbers ending in -, -, and -. I have been an account holder of theirs since 2000. I have never paid any of the accounts late. Recently, I noticed that they increased my rate on my account ending in # - to 23.15 %. They have also increased the rate on my account ending in # - to 18.15 %. Both of these accounts have had balances, and they have been steadily increasing the rates on these accounts. I believe they have been doing this in a predatory manner, primarily because the accounts have balances. In comparison, my account ending in # - is not in use, although it is open, and my interest rate is 10.17 %. It is also important to note that my credit bureau is in good standing, and all of my other credit cards have rates of less than 15 %. When I called Capital One to complain, I spoke with a rep named -. She gave a fairly lousy excuse for the rate increase, stating prime had gone up. But she offered to lower the rate to 20.15 % for 7 months. I is also important to note that the - credit cards with balances have lower cash advance rates compared to purchase rates, which makes absolutely no sense ; cash advances are a higher risk than purchases due to the nature of the transaction. Simply put, I believe they are increasing the purchase rate on my credit cards because of running balances that are not always paid in full each month. In other words, they are preying on my ability on whether I can pay the accounts off.
