Capital One Credit Card Complaint

Capital One Credit card department,

Billing statement Florida

I wanted to close my capital one card years ago because it had a low limit and I was approved for an - - card with a much higher limit. I called to pay my balance in full and close the account. The girl I spoke with said she processed my payment and closed the account. I never heard from them again. Years later I get a call from a collection agency. I kept hanging up because as far as I knew I did n't owe anyone a dime. Then I got a collection letter about a capital one debt ( my exact balance owed when I closed the account : - dollars. ) I called capital one to pay the debt. The girl I spoke with said she saw the note indicating I requested to pay the account in full and close it. Yet somehow they never processed my payment! She transferred me to the collections rep and I immediately paid in full. This NEVER should have happened. I never got a single statement nor phone call from capital one about this. My number has n't changed in over a decade. They could have told me about THEIR mistake any time. Now I have a charge off affecting my credit because some inept representative did n't do what she said she would.
