Capital One Classic Credit Card reviews (279)

Told me they can't do a chargeback because I refused delivery of the goods. Literally no law ever states that is the case, they'll just lie through their teeth so they don't have to do anything.

Excellent if you have a poor credit rating

I highly doubted that I would be offered a credit card but they were able to offer me one with a low credit limit, which I find really good for improving my credit score. Reviewed on: 5th September 2021

Left in total despair

This is NOT the credit card company to use if you suffer with any mental health issues. Please do not take out credit with this company if there is any chance at all you may have payment difficulties in the future. I tried over and over again to speak to the customer service team and the complaints manager about my situation. I provided them with medical evidence from my GP and was told flatly there is nothing they can do to help me negotiate a settlement on the account. They have had me in floods of tears on the phone as I struggle to manage… the response “computer says no”. In this day and age of financial struggles and increasing mental health problems this company does not want to know. They have left me feeling in total despair. Reviewed on: 8th July 2021

Generally good.

A simple but functional no frills credit card

4
A basic credit card - does what says on the tin. No frills and with a modest app and website support - a lot of services are requiring still a phone call to them. Reviewed on: 26th March 2021

Easy to use and great service

Not as good as zopa are at helpful information to help with other products , such as loans and card problems. Reviewed on: 17th March 2021
