Capital One Credit Card Complaint

Capital One Credit card department,

Payoff process New York

Capital One Bank ( USA ) , N.A . ( " the Bank '' ) is engaging in unfair, deceptive, abusive acts and practices by violating my rights under the account holder agreement for my Capital One Visa Platinum account. I recently relocated to a new state and updated my billing information with the Bank. Apparently this modification triggered a fraud alert in their system, which prevents me from accessing any account information ; information I need to remit payments and review ( 1 ) my balance, ( 2 ) account activity, including debits and credits, and ( 3 ) a copy of my rights under the account holder agreement. At the encouragement of the Bank, I foolishly enrolled in online statements, I do n't receive paper statements regularly. As a result, this system that is now prohibiting my access is my only source of this data. While I am not particularly concerned about ever using this account to make purchases again, I believe that Capital One is violating a number of consumer protection laws by not sharing my current balance or transaction data with me until I produce an onerous amount of documentation to prove who


access a copy of my account holder agreement to review my rights. A large bank like Capital One should know that there are many identity verification services such as - - or even the USPS change of address system that would provide ample proof to the Bank of who I am and that I relocated. This action may be pervasive and affecting consumers at large. I encourage the CFPB to issue a Civil Investigatory Demand ( CID ) to the Bank to determine whether or not this is a widespread issue. This fraud block prevents a consumer from accessing information needed in order to pay their bill, potentially causing severe harm to consumers. I believe that this demonstrates, at best, willful neglect on the part of Capital One Bank who would certainly continue to charge additional interest and late penalties, furnish data to credit reporting agencies or charge off this account should I fail to remit regular payment on this account. Other, more responsible financial institutions, have implemented effective alternative methods to ensure that accounts with suspected fraudulent activity do not incur additional charges while still allowing the account holder to access relevant data about their account. I was able to obtain an unverified total current balance from the fraud manager who I spoke with after I was told it was a violation of their policy/procedure to provide this information to me. I have remitted a payment for this full amount to the Bank, although I have not had an opportunity to review the transactions which make up this balance.
