Capital One Credit card department,
Capital One offered what is called " Choose it '' to help pay off a large purchase over time with no interest. I continued to pay off my " Balance Due '' every month only to find out my " Balance Due '' did not include the amount I had chosen to place in my " Choose it '' " bucket. '' ( I 'm using quotes because this is how the manager on the phone referred to these things. ) I do most of my banking on my mobile device. Therefore, I 've been paying my " balance due '' every month thinking I 've long paid off the " Choose it '' balance as well. No, they hide that balance still outstanding as " SpecialPurch '' under the interest charge calculation on the statement. Additionally, it is at the very bottom of the statement. NOWHERE on my mobile device can I get this additional balance due unless I bring up my PDF paper statement. I trusted the " balance due '' was indeed the WHOLE balance due and paid it off EVERY month. As I do pay my balance very month, I really should not have taken advantage
My concern is n't as much for me, although it makes me very angry. My concern is for others who need a break with interest charges and might not pay off the balance every month. Additionally, I feel it is BAD PRACTICE for Capital One to not put SOMETHING, ANYTHING alongside the " Balance Due '' that states " You may wish to pay off this Special Purchase balance off, too so you do n't incur interest by this date. Therefore your actual balance due is $ -. '' Thank you,
