Capital One Banking is Not To Be Trusted

Business / Customer Service

Capital One Bank says they have “delivered” four “bill pay” checks, but the people have never received the checks. When asked how they know the checks were delivered, they told me they had delivery tracking on the checks.

But apparently that does not include calling potential customers, or putting a notice on …

Bank idea for potential fraud charges

Business / Customer Service / Technology

I recently got a short survey from Chase …
