I have been a capital one credit card customer for 21 years. During that time I have provided my kids and grandkids cards as authorized users for when they are short between paydays or when debit cards should not be used. I maintain a very small credit limit because this is a card that I have additional authorized users on and I want to ensure that my balance is never above $500. Because of common use amongst three of us, I often make multiple payments per month. The payment is reflected immediately and available for use provided I make the payment prior to the cut off time each night. This has been the way it has worked for years. Recently I made a $200 payment and it did not reflect in my balance, or available credit. I decided to wait a day and check it and still it did not appear. It showed the payment was made, the money was taken out of my bank account, but it did not show up in my available credit. When I called customer service I was told at first it was because I made more than one payment in the month so it puts it on hold for 26 days. Wrong. I always make multiple payments in a month and that has never happened to me before. The next excuse they offered was that I had used a new bank account that they weren't familiar with and that is what put the payment on hold for 26 days. Wrong. I had made payments with this account twice the prior month with no problem or delay. When I asked to speak with someone who could correct this obvious error of payment put on hold for 26 days, I was told that department refused to take my call. I asked if I were to make another payment could I be assured that it would not be put on hold, but since no one could answer why this was put on hold to begin with they told me they couldn't guarantee that. I asked for a email address that I could send a help request to and I was told they only communicate by phone, by fax or by letter mailed. Again I have held this account for 21 years without ever experiencing this issue, and yet no one could resolve it. I'm hoping that someone in a leadership role at capital one sees this and maybe reaches out to me. I've been in management - including customer service management - for 35 years and it's incomprehensible to me that they have no working escalation process that could have resolved this nor do they have any problem-solving or decision-making capacity and capability to provide real customer service. Once I move my few auto payments off of this card, CapOne will no longer "be in my wallet." read more
