Consumer Narrative
I hold a Capital One credit card. On XX/XX/year>, I attempted a balance transfer and discovered that Capital One does not permit outbound balance transfers. This restriction was not clearly disclosed at account opening or in marketing materials. When I contacted customer service on XX/XX/year>, the representative could not provide a usable account number or explain any method to transfer the balance. Instead, he seemed rather confused about the whole concept of balance transfer. As a result, I am unable to move my balance elsewhere and continue to accrue interest solely because Capital Ones policy is designed to keep balances on their books to maximize profit, rather than to allow consumers flexibility in managing debt.
