Capital One Credit Card Complaint

Credit line increase/decrease

Capital One Credit card department,

Credit line increase/decrease Minnesota

I have been a customer of Capital One for a few years now and have - credit cards with them. Over the last year and a half, I have requested credit limit increases on both cards and have been denied. - was receiving a message of denial stating that my payments were - small. I increased the payment amounts and started receiving the following denial of credit message : " A credit limit increase is currently not available upon request because Capital One is evaluating account activity at assigned credit limits. '' I have been receiving that message for 8 months now. Additionally, my other card has been receiving the same denial message for 15 months now. This message implies that an evaluation is being performed on the account and that at some point there will either be an increase or a reason for denial based on this evaluation. The fact that these messages started showing up after I increased the payment amount are not a coincidence. I feel that Capital One does not want to provide a legitimate reason for denial and do not have a concrete reason. The evaluation period seems to have no end. So, I contacted


either the letter itself is not factual or the customer service representative lied to me. I simply wanted to know when the evaluation period would end or if they could provide me with a concrete reason. I believe this is a violation of regulation B and the FCRA as I do not feel like they are providing me with sufficient reasoning for the denial of credit. I will be attaching a copy of the most recent letter I received - although they are all the same. Additionally, I am attaching the conversation I had with the customer service from Capital One.
