Review of the Capital One, Classic Credit Card:

Stay away for Capital one

1
Stay away from Capital one. I had balance transfer and I tried to setup my debit card on account so I can pay monthly but unfortunately before even my balance transfer complete I had paid hole amount including transfer fees accidentally on 25/12/23, I have called them straight away and informed them about this so they filled out form for refund my money back and said you will get it back in three days and I waited for three days and I didn’t receive my money back so I called them back and asked them for my money so they said the form was not filled properly and not submitted so the guy which I spoke he filled form again and said you will receive money next day and still not received so I called them 4 times by now and waiting for my own money. I have called them again today (30/12/23) and I have been told that I will receive money on 2nd or 3rd on January 2024.worst company ever Reviewed on: 30th December 2023

worse company ever for credit cards

I used to have a Capital One credit card and there lied to me about the interest rates and also lowered the amount I can use on the card for no reason after just offering to up it. Honestly the worse customer service who likes to put the phone down on you. Never use this company had better experiences with tesco. Reviewed on: 3rd July 2023

All things sound nice at first. Until you fall behind.

They just left me to spend and spend until I couldn't afford to pay back what I got myself into. Then the letters came. Then the threats of bailiffs plus court. When you're young nobody tells you these things. You find out the hard way. Reviewed on: 16th June 2023

Capital one credit card pros and cons

4
Capital one credit cards are highly recommended due to a number of reasons. One being they have a low entry barrier meaning you do not need a high credit score to access one. Furthermore there limit increases as time progresses which is another benefit for anyone trying to improve there credit score. One downside of capital one, or something I believe they could improve on is the customer service aspect, often it is hard to resolve a problem with them over the phone. Reviewed on: 3rd June 2023

Good credit, great app!

Have a good, manageable credit limit, payments are never too high. Reminders sent out in good time without being irritating and the app is fantastic! Reviewed on: 1st June 2023
