Consumer Narrative
I reached out to Capital One 's Fraud customer service today ( XXXX XXXX ), and I was told that my account was closed due to " observed activity on your account that is not consistent with our expectations of usage for personal, family or household purposes ''. When I asked for more details, I learned that it was because Capital One was unable to verify my income. However, the first time that Capital One requested my 3 most consecutive banking statements, I informed them that my newest bank account ( which I opened in XXXX cause I started my first out-of-college job in XXXX ) was only two months old. This is the account that my direct deposit is linked to. However, the representative that I spoke with on the phone ( XXXX XXXX ) told me that it had to be three consecutive bank statements so I should use another bank account ( despite my other bank account not showing the direct deposit ). As such, I listened to her advice and submitted the other bank statements ( not my recently opened account with the direct deposit ). Then, I called today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) to follow up, and I learned that my account was closed due to failed income verification. I explained this situation to the representative, and they said that they couldn't take any more documents cause my account is permanently closed. I'm frustrated because the previous customer service person told me that I would have the chance to submit the new bank statement if the old ones didn't pass verification. Additionally, it's ridiculous that my account was closed without even giving me the chance to prove my income successfully ( new bank statements, offer letter from employer, etc. ). Additionally, Capital One won't refund my {$390.00} annual card fee cause I " breached their terms and agreements ''. However, this is ridiculous since they didn't even try to take further steps to verify my income. Since my account was only opened for 4 weeks, Capital One is absolutely scamming my annual fee.
