Capital One Credit Card Complaint

Capital One Credit card department,

Billing statement Colorado

At some point -/-/- or -/-/2016, I discovered that an item I had purchased had n't shown up. I decided to look into all my statements to find out if the item had been paid for. I decided to log onto the Capital One website and set up a login name and password. I did so and checked the statement. Everything seemed ok so I moved on. I had been receiving my statements in the mail for the past 21 years from Capital One and had always paid on time. I rarely use my credit cards and prefer to use my debit cards. I did however have my phone bill tied to the Capital One account in order to keep a little activity there. -/-/2016 I went to use the Cap One card and it was declined. I called Cap One and they told me I had an unpaid balance that was over 120 days late. I immediately paid the small balance and all the late fees right then and there.

'm not here to argue that the payments were not late because technically they were. I 'm here to argue the fact that because I was automatically switched over to paperless billing without my knowledge, I wound up missing 4 months of payments. I was never notified by mail or a phone call from Cap One. I now have to put off a new home for several years because I am dealing with a FICO score - due to their automated paperless feature. I ca n't imagine that this is an isolated incident as I 've looked into it and have read about it happening to others. I find this to be very unfair for someone who 's always had excellent credit. I simply want my credit restored. Capital One has been unwilling to address the issue and remove the negative info. As for lost money, it 's going to cost me in the future over 1 ) much higher interest rates and 2 ) anticipated home appreciation ( - County, CO : over - % increase in 2016 ). One ca n't earn let alone save money fast enough here to keep up with the hosing market. I 'm guessing it 's a loss of over -- on a 15 year loan due to increased interest rates since I 'm high risk. If I wait it out a year or two for my credit to improve slightly then -- on one year 's anticipated appreciation of a - home ( being conservative ), or another way to say it is that I 'll be potentially looking at a $ -- $ - home in two years that I could be buying now for $ -.
