How Does Capital One Bank Compare To Other Banks?

From Corporations Forum:

How does Capital One Bank compare to other banks? Is Capital One one of the best banks in the business? How does it compare to the other banks? It it top-notch or does it simply pale in comparison to the other banks?

Answer: They are the bottom feeders of the banking industry. They deal mostly with high risk consumers, as such their interest rates are usually higher than average. Try to stay away from credit cards and make sure you can do better than Capital One. Usually they check credit more than most banks for any excuse to raise your rates. If you carry a balance, make sure that you have enough income to pay more than the minimums whenever possible. Speaking of income, try to focus on setting a goal of being your own boss at some point in the future. That is where it’s at for me. I am also recommending a website for you.

My Brother Was Served A Summons For Capital One Debt. What Happens During The Waiting Period?

From Law & Ethics Forum:

My brother was served a summons for Capital One debt. What happens during the waiting period? He was served a summons from Capital One's Attorney. He wrote a letter for validation of the debt and sent it Certified Mail which they had received on 12/23. Does he just wait to see what their response is? If he should do anything, does filing for motion for disclosure or a Sworn Denial come into play anywhere in this situation? When should he file for this? He's confused on what his next step should be. Thanks for your time and responses.

Answer: The time he should have disputed the case, or asked for validation, was BEFORE they started the process to take him to court. Once it gets to this point, it will be up to a judge what happens. He can go to court and plead his case. The judge will listen to both sides, and then determine a judgment (in all likely hood it will be in Capital ones favor. No one forced your brother to take out a credit card or to even use it.) Your brother will have to appear in court. He will have to pay capital one. (if he has any sense he can call capital one and try and make a settlement offer. However they will probably require this to be paid in a lump sum, as he has a history of non payment) ~~Donna~~

How Do I Get Capital One Off My Credit Report?

From Credit Forum:

How do I get Capital One off my credit report? I had a Capital One credit card about 6 years ago and I didn't like the rate after the introductory offer so I paid the balance off and asked them to close the account. I cut up the card and forgot about it. Months later I received a bill for among like $175. I called and they said that it was for annual fees and late charges for them not being paid. I advised them that I had closed the account and they states that they would note it on the account. Well now the account has been tun red over to a collection agency and the balance is $750+. I'm not sure where my receipt is now, as it had been closed over five years ago, but I am sure that they can look at there records and see that the balance was paid and I called to close the account. What do I do now?

Answer: If you paid it off the entire balance (we don't know how much the balance was) with no residual finance charges or late fees, you should be on the clear. However, credit cards work just like car loan, you have to call and get the balance including the residual finance charges. That means if you carried the balance from month to month without pay it off completely, the residual will accrue. In your mind at that time, you may thought that you paid it off but because you didn't call to get the complete balance. That remain residual finance charges and late fees can cost you a bundle. Closing the account has nothing to do with the remain balance. You still obligate to pay for the balance of the account whether the account is closed or not. Call the Capital one and they will refer to the collection agency that they sold the account. Make payment arrangement with the collection agency but the fact remains is that the bad mark will stay on your record for 7 years even though you paid it off.

Why Is Capital One Still Charging Me Interest If It Is Charged Off, It Updates Every Month With Higher Balance?

From Credit Forum:

Why is capital one still charging me interest if it is charged off, it updates every month with higher balance? Why is capital one still charging me interest if it is charged off, it updates every month with higher balance. Even tho it says charged off, every month the balance is higher BC of interest, doesn't make sense..Even though its still charging interest will this still come off in 7 years?

Answer: Capital One is very aggressive about collection defaulted accounts. They have their own in-house collection dept. They will go to court over balances as small as $200. Don't count on that debt just aging off your credit report. It is very likely you will get a summons and Capital One will end up with a judgment against you, including all the accrued interest and fees.

How Long Will It Take For The Check That I Wrote To Clear Capital One?

From Personal Finance Forum:

How long will it take for the check that I wrote to clear Capital One? I was curious to how long it would take for a check that I'm writing on Friday evening (Veteran's Day) to clear Capital One? I lost my debit card and I don't like writing checks, but I need groceries for the weekend. I was wondering how long will it take for the check to clear my account if I write it on a Friday evening?

Answer: In the US, Veterans day is a bank holiday, so all bank transactions will be treated as part of the next business day, Monday 11-14. The check will clear Capital One the same business day they receive it. The REAL question is when it will be presented to Capital One. If you write the check to Wal-mart, it will be electronically presented to their bank before your receipt prints and could potentially clear your bank the same day. If you write a check to a local 'mom & pop' grocery store, it may not be deposited for up to a week.

How To Get A Credit Limit Increase From Capital One?

From Credit Forum:

How to get a Credit Limit Increase from Capital One? I heard that it is really hard to get a credit limit increase from capital one now. Is there a "backdoor" customer service number that I can call that would help? What should I do, because a $300 limit is pretty comical. Thanks!

Answer: Capital One is super stingy about credit limits....I finally got a limit increase after 9 years. Capital One's preferred method is to give out multiple low limit cards to the same person instead...that way they can get multiple late fees per month if you fall behind. There is no secret #....All phone calls to Capital One are outsourced to India and they'll just read from a script.

Can I Add Funds From My Capital One Card To My Pay pal Account?

I have a Pay Pal account but I never used it in years and it has $0.00 in it and I was wondering if I can add money to it with a capital one credit card.

Answer: If your capital one card is a debit card associated with your bank account sure. Once confirmed you just say take the money, you don't transfer it first.

What To Do If Capital One Wrongly Charges A Late Payment By Holding The Check?

From Credit Forum:

What to do if Capital One wrongly charges a late payment by holding the check? The payment was mailed about a week prior to the date. Capital one said that the payment was late and a fee would be tacked on, how can I get Capital One to reverse this? (im just trying to write a wrong here.....)

Answer: Have you ever thought of just signing up for their on line bill pay? This would assure that your check would not be sitting on someones desk, in a mail room or lost somewhere in Fiji. Whether you get the fee waived this one time is up to Capital One, and certainly, it doesn't hurt to ask. If this was the first time, I would tell them you will be signing up to pay the payment on line so this situation does not arise again. You could even set up auto payments to be deducted the day they are due. It is way easier than mailing and hoping nothing happens in transit.
