Capital One Credit Card Complaint

Capital One Credit card department,

Forbearance / Workout plans California

When I opened my credit card account I maintained an impeccable record. I even got a car loan with the same bank and paid off the loan with no late payments. Unfortunately, I became unemployed and homeless and did not have an income to pay my card payments. The card was closed and the account balance more than doubled with fees. Now that I am employed again, I researched a contact number for the bank who issued the credit card and I called them to find out the balance and if I could make payment arrangements. I talked to a manager who said they would make a one time adjustment to the balance and they gave me the total. I asked if I paid the balance would they contact the credit agencies stating the account was paid in full. I was told, " Yes. '' I asked if they could send me a letter to that effect and they said they would. I received a letter shortly after thanking me for agreeing to pay the balance by such and such a date. At no time in our conversation on the phone did the manager ever mention a date I had


Now the letter was stating I had roughly 10 days to pay the lowered amount agreed upon or the original balance would be back in force. I sacrificed my paycheck and made sure I had called them to pay over the phone thinkng I could use my debit card. After waiting an extended amount of time on hold, I finally got through to a representative who informed me they do n't take payments via debit cards ; it had to be a credit card or check by phone. I do n't use checks so I had to get the routing and account number in order to proceed. I got the information and called the bank back. Again, it was a long hold time before speaking with a representative. I gave her my information and the payment went through. A few days later, I received another letter from the same manager who I had been dealing with and the letter states, " Thank you for your recent payment .... We credited this amount to your Capital ONe account referenced above on - -, 2016. If you have nay questions, please give us a call. If a thrid-party agency is servicing your account, your call will be automatically routed to them. '' Sincerely, - -, Account Manager The letter shows I still have a balance on the account which is not what we agreed to. - - said over the phone he was reducing the balance and in his first letter to me he said that also. Now that he received the money requested - he is changing my account balance back to the original amount.
