Capital One Credit card department,
Closing/Cancelling account New Jersey
I opened my Capital one card after being sent a letter telling me that I was preapproved based on my credit score. The card is supposed to help build your credit and I was told that after making on time payments for - consecutive months, my credit line would be raised $ - $300.00. After the 5 months, I received a letter stating that because I had demonstrated such responsible use of the card, they were raising my limit $500.00. I continued to use the card and make all my payments on time. On -/-/16 I log onto make a payment and see that my account is being restricted. I call customer service and was transferred to " the executive office '' where a rather rude and - tells me that my account has been closed and I was mailed a letter. I asked her why and she said this was due to pending or past legal action against me. I asked her for the date of the alleged legal action and she tells me she does not know, but that I can call my - office or the state. I requested to speak with a supervisor after she transferred me back to the main customer service line and was told that the department was closed and I could not leave information for a callback. For the next several days I contacted my - and also the - Court ( State and Federal ) in my state to inquire about the legal action Capital one is saying was the reason for my account being closed, no one has any record of legal action against me. I even paid for a background check on myself and again nothing! I requested to not be charged a late fee due to the lack of information and being told I would need to address the issue with outside agencies. This morning I receive an email from them saying that I am now being assessed late fees and penalties from them as well.
