Capital One Credit card department,
I paid off balance on my capital one credit card and no longer used it -/-/-. But I did have an error of a recurring annual charge from another company that a failed to cancel made -/-/-. The charge appeared on my credit card. Because I selected paperless billing all of the notices and late notices came through an email account. Because Capital One spams so much all their e-mail went to junk mail. During this time my wife was -, I was taking her - daily, staying nights -, etc. Her - is finishing up and we finally decided to purchase a home. I go to apply for the loan and this charge and three months shows up on my credit report. I pay off the balance immediately and contacted them requested a good will correction. Because they did not notify me by any other method then a block e-mail account I now have a bad credit score from what was otherwise a perfect history and because the infraction was so soon it was a huge impact. Requesting the adjust they refused citing they report everything accurately. While in fact true, their notification policy that I foolishly opted in for is the only reason the issue occurred. Never again will I use paperless billing only. The objective of the FCRA is to protect consumers with accurate and fair information. I feel this infraction is unfair especially cosidering my relationship with capital one was perfect and accurate on time payment for years. I only run into the problem when I pay off the balance and they no longer want to work with me. My interest rate will be more than 0.5 % higher than otherwise.
