Consumer Narrative
1. Company sent me notification that my account was upgraded to a World Elite Mastercard ( WEM ). the upgrade was fake. my account was NOT recoded or upgraded to a WEM. i do not have the benefits and privileges of a WEM. I do not have the starting credit line of a WEM. My website interface does not match other cardholders who hold a Capital One WEM. i also do not have the company 's advertised services or upgraded contact/communication support that other Capital One cardholders have. 2. Company denied my request for CLI stating 2 untrue/false reasons as the reasons for denial : 1st false reason - account was just given a CLI. this is not true because i was given a CLI over 6 months ago of only {$100.00} from my starter credit line of {$500.00}. it was not a recent CLI, as company stated. 3. 2nd false reason is the use of my card was adequate. i have attached statements to show this reason stated by the company is also not true. 4. Malicious Capital One account managers have flagged my account for internal abuse and harrassment. Capital One 's internal operations blatantly discriminate against and mistreat customers. Capital One should be investigated to see if it is in compliance with federal laws.
