Got this call twice today.  Actually talked to them earlier this week on there official number asking questions about my account.  Who knows what this is about.

I have been getting calls from Capital One for the last 7 or 8 months now. They call about 3 or 4 times a day and leave a message from LINDA with some opportunities from Capitol one... i have asked them counting today now, 4 times to remove me. they stop for about a week or so, then they start up again. How can i block them from calling again?

I don't own a capital one credit card nor have i ever, i just got my cell phone a few days ago, and i have no idea how they got it.  they r always sending crap in the mail even after we stoped them. and r u on at&t? cus they might have a deal together.

unwanted phone calls

Had calls from this number upper of 10 times a day. Have a Capital One card that is paid in full. Payments made on time. I'm calling Capital One to complain after today. These people call you on Sundays at 8 a.m. in the morning. Harrassment out the butt. Their messages say they have opportunities for you at Capital One. Wow!!! Poor business reflection in my opinion.

they called I had missed a payment, I am glad they call, I don;t use the card so I forget to pay the automatic charges on it for id protection.  I did have to cancel the capital one card anyway, the monthly fees are too high for me

I believe the reason it hangs up after it rings once is because it is set to start the recording when it hears someone talking. Like, when u call a phone and it says something like "please stay on the line while the nextel subsriber you are trying to call is reached."  So it starts its recording but looks like it rang once and hung up.

I've never had a Capital One card - I don't currently have any cards or any loans or debt - and I get three or more calls from them a day. HATE them.

The reason Capital One are calling you on your NEW cell phone is the number likely belonged to someone who had the number before and are past due on their account. You don't really believe a NEW cell number is actually a new number do you? Coz if so I have a bridge to sell ya..

They have called me everyday for the last 14 days straight, at least10-12 times a day. I told the guy on the first call that my 20 yr old son had just committed suicide, please give me a few days to get my head straight and pay the expenses related to his burial. He said that my situation is not their concern, and that until the payment (which was in fact 3 days late) they would continue to call me. That was it! I paid the balance of $244. in full and closed the card down...Now guess what?I have a 30 dollar late charge because it was late 1 day, getting to these [***], and they are calling me now again 10 times a dad for the $35 bucks, even called yesterday, which was a weekend....Oh I am so mad...what can I do here?

Woman Sues Capital One For Debt Collection Harassment After Letter Demanding $286 Million

A woman files suit in Philadelphia against Capital One for debt collection harassment, including numerous phone calls to her workplace and letters to her home, escalating into a demand for $286 million.

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) December 13, 2010

A woman saying she was harassed by Capital One for a disputed $4,000 credit card debt has filed suit after the bank demanded more than $ 286 million dollars. Attorney Craig Thor Kimmel of Kimmel and Silverman, P.C., an Ambler-based consumer law firm, has filed the suit on behalf of Patrice Perry in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. (Case ID# 101200540, Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas)

According to the complaint, Capital One first demanded Perry pay $3,845 for purchases on a credit card. Perry disputed the debt and turned the letter over to her family lawyer, who wrote Capital One to cease and desist contacting Perry directly. Disregarding the letter, Capital One allegedly stepped up collection efforts, placing more calls to Perry and claiming that it was doing so because the lawyer did not make a substantial settlement offer to resolve the account. Telephone calls were made to her home and workplace, where she alleges, her employer does not allow personal calls.

Subsequently, Perry received more letters, each demanding different amounts, some higher than others, all threatening legal action if not paid promptly. The letters failed to state how the varying amounts were calculated or if amounts sought were based upon any contract between Capital One and Perry authorizing such charges. After a second cease and desist letter from the family lawyer was disregarded, Capital One in response sent a letter demanding immediate payment of $286,651,237 from Perry. The letter went on to instruct Perry to mail full payment in the envelope provided. It was at this time that Perry’s family lawyer contacted Kimmel, who assumed representation.

The complaint alleges the $286 million demand was so outrageous that it could not be the result of a computer glitch, and that it required human intervention to be sent. Perry alleges the basis for sending it was embarrass, humiliate, intimidate and cause emotional distress, of amounts incapable of being understood.

The lawsuit alleges that Capital One was compelled to cease communication upon receipt of the initial letter from her family lawyer and used false, deceptive and misleading communications to collect a debt.

Perry further claims that Capital One threatened to report the disputed debt to the credit reporting agencies, which would adversely affect her FICO credit score and unnecessarily make her other creditors insecure.

"Harassing calls, disregard for a lawyers written instructions on two occasions, demands for payment of differing and arbitrary amounts and the final letter seeking more than $286 Million, demonstrates serious abuses at the collection office of Capital One.” says Attorney Kimmel. "From this example we see how a financial terrorist works in today’s economic times and that is by escalating tensions, pushing the person to the limit, and making threats, without regard for civility, accuracy or the legal rights of the individual. No one should ever suffer the indignity and humiliation my client has experienced."

Kimmel advises consumers to be guarded with creditors and debt collectors working for them. He recommends seeking legal advice before paying disputed debts, entering repayment agreements or providing/confirming personal information. Under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act consumers have substantial protection from this type of behavior with the debt collector, who must pay all legal fees of the consumers lawyer”, says Kimmel, "and most states, like Pennsylvania in this case, offer similar protections from creditor abuse of the type Capital One undertook with Ms. Perry."

I am recieving calls from this number daily, several times a day. No message is ever left and no identification. I do not answer. I looked online and it's identified as Capitol One. I have an account with them I haven't used in a couple years and my balance is zero, so they should not be harrassing me. I signed up with the Do Not Call Registry. This has got to stop!

I called capitol one, to complain that this is harrassment. I suggest everyone who gets a call from this number once, twice, a day do the same. maybe if they get enough pissed off people calling and screaming at them, they will stop these cold calls.

I received a call, but didn't answer it.

yeah and im not even 18, pay no one in anything but cash and im getting calls.....tahts it *eye roll
*

I don't own a Capitol One card nor do I ever plan to and I'm getting 3-5 calls a day from them even on weekends and holidays anywhere from 8am until 10pm.

This number keeps calling my phone and I have no connection with Capitol one. I just wish they would quit calling me. It's getting annoying.

register your number with the National Do Not Call Registry.  let the unwanted callers know that they have to have your permission to call you and in the absence of that permission you threaten to file a complaint

i am so annoyed, i do not have any capital one credit cards or any type of account with this company yet they call me constantly...  several times a day! i refuse to answer and there really should be a way to get these people to stop this.  I registered a while ago for that do not call registry. nothing is working. geez, we all should be able to file suit or something this is getting out of hand!
