got a call today at 10:30AM. No Message

They will keep calling even after you pay your bill...I have them on my caller ID to prove it.  My husband got hurt and we only get paid once a month.

Good Idea!

I was behind 10 days but even after I paid my bill, they kept calling wanting to know when I was going to make another payment.  It isn't even due yet.  I changed my phone number on their web site to my cell phone and now they don't call my house anymore and I just turn my cell phone to vibrate.

Capital One

Payback's a b***h:

I got tired of "Linda" calling all the time so I did a little research and found a Capital One phone number located in Richmond that's answered by a person. I believe it's a call center.  ( 804-967-1000 )

Next I went to Capitol One's site, logged into my account and changed my cell phone contact number to 804-967-1000.  Since the system they're using is automated, I added the same number to home, work and alternate. Now the automated system calls the call center using all 4 numbers.  Given that when I was called they would sometimes call several times a day.  I figure that call center is getting 8 calls + or - when the system fires up.

And that ladies and gents is how you Rick Roll Capital One and waste they're time and money.  :-)

Bob, please be aware that companies can make mistakes, and that some of us are getting calls that are either a mistake on C1's fault, or it is some kind of fraud. I got one of those inexpensive pre-paid phones about six months ago, because I only use my cell phone for emergencies. I immediately started getting calls from numbers I did not recognize. Research has led me to believe that it is either a scam, or that the person who had my number before me owed a lot of people money. I do not answer my cell phone unless it is my BF or my niece.

Just this past week, I started getting these calls from Linda. I owe no one a nickel. I have never had a C1 account. This past spring, I paid off my car three years early. I owe my home free and clear.My credit score is in the high 700's. I have ZERO debt. I owe no one a dime. Besides, I am an easy person to reach at home or via mail. Why would they call me on a cell???

You do have an account. Just for the love of God-PAY YOUR DAMN BILL!

This IS Capital One. And they aren't going to waste time trying to go after people who dont reall have you number or if you dont owe money.

They aren't stupid.

They are a very rich credit card company and didn't make their money by going after GOOD paying customers or by chasing after incorrect telephone numbers.

Doesn't add up that they'd piss off a good customer.

I paid.

They stopped calling.

Simple.

Cut out a trip to Blockbuster and send them a check. It ain't rocket science junior.

This site is trying to do things right by correctly identifying who these people really are by providing us with a forum to be able to list-who they really are.

The more you lie, the more you make this site confusing, illegitimate and ultimately unusable.

You do have an account. don't lie. This site is trying to o things right by correctly identifying who these people really are. the more you lie, the more you make this site confusing, illegitimate and ultimately unusable.

If you paid...they wouldn't call. Do you think they made their money off of going after people who pay their bills on time? doesn't add up that they'd piss off a good customer.

Not true "Just Me 2". if you paid...they wouldn't call. Do you think they made their money off of going after people who pay their bills on time? doesn't add up that they'd piss off a good customer. I paid. They stopped calling.

So pay your bill...and "Linda" will quit calling. That's what I did...now I see the light and am on the "other" side.

Your still on the Dark side. Come to the Good side and you'll be a happier person.

We get these calls from various numbers all day long EVERYDAY.  If you call back on any of the numbers it claims it's Capital One, if you call back on the 800 number that "Linda" tells you to call it says it's Captial One.  The first thing they want is your credit number punched in...I repeatedly hit the asterick until I got a live person.  Refused to give credit # and ss#, she pulled me up by phone number and said my acct was in collections (totally untrue).  When I tried to tell her that that was wrong, she got very nasty.  After hanging up, I called the number on my card and got Rachel at Captial One who was very friendly.  Told her the problem and she assured me that my account was fine and that I was wise not to give those numbers my information.  Records indicated that no calls have been made by them to my house HOWEVER the 800 number left on the message IS a Capital One # - it's right on their website.  Despite listing my account for no calls, they continue to come.  Hubby called back on one, gets Capital One, talks to a live person who can't explain the phone calls but he actually got Capital One.

So if the call back number is them, how can the calls not be from them?

Capital One

Definitely Capital One

Capital One collections.

i owe some $$ to cap1, wont answer thanks

i just payed my capital one bill yesterday. but they still keep calling. i don't answer.

Sorry Bud...quit lying. Do you expect us to believe that a company like Cap One is going to be sued without getting their info correct? Pay your bills.

Got the Linda message too.  Got it also from an Illinois number over the weekend.

i CALLED CAPITAL ONE AND THEY DID NOT KNOW IF IT WAS THEIR NUMBER BECAUSE THEY HAVE 3RD PARTY COMPANIES IN THE US THAT WILL CALL.  I WAS SUGGESTED TO CALL THE 800 NUMBER ON THE BACK OF THE CARD FOR ANYTHING I NEEDED.  THESE PEOPLE WHO IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS CAPITAL ONE DID NOT ANSWER UPON THE CALLER ID.  THEY WANT ALL THE THINGS THAT CAPITAL ONE NEVER ASKS FOR, LIKE YOUR SS# AND FULL TELEPHONE NUMBER.  BE CAREFUL WITH THESE PEOPLE.

These people call me several times a day. They never leave a message. I have no idea who or what they are. I choose not to answer the phone when I do not recognize the caller ID number diplayed on my phone.If they are in fact a collection complay in the employment of Captital One then they have their wires crossed. I do not have a Capital One account.

I have been paying my credit card on time... I still get calls from this number and the voicemail is the same recording each time. "Hi this is Linda..." I'm so sick of it.

call me 8895769177  i will tell you how to stop him

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."
