I wrote to the credit card company to cancel my card as was what was on the back of the bill I received and sent to the appropriate address since you could not send it in with your bill. This was in April 2008, I am still receiving a bill for the annual fee, which according to the reverse side of the bill you could cancel. I waited until the July Bill (the card was paid off in June) and was suprised to see a balance for the annual fee on it and it was due 8/3/08.

I called the customer service phone number in the upper right hand corner and discovered that I had to call another number which was 101027500, instead of hanging up and calling I listened to the rest of the message. Incrediably they continued on with the message that the call will cost you 5.00 which would be charged to your phone bill. I filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and I am hopefully going to hear something in the near future. I can't get ahold of anyone to cancel the card and am getting frustrated because if I don't pay it I will pay interest on this and be reported to the credit bureau!

I was looking at my bill and i noticed the statement closing date is on july 3, 2008 I recieved my bill on July 11,2008 and the payment date is on July 28,2008. This only gives me 17 days to pay the bill. Isn't there a 28 day payment cycle.

They do not give me enough time to pay this. 17 days is not enough time.

I moved in Feb 07--in Oct 07 I received a statement and realized I had missed a payment. I paid my account up to date and asked that my address be changed and also my phone number. They only changed my phone number. Last week I was contacted telling me that my account was past due. They could not really explain to me why. I asked that a supervisor call me. This evening I was contacted again and asked for a supervisor as again they were telling me I was past due and going over limit. I have not used the credit card in over a year. I paid it up to date and have bank records that I have paid, however I was told that the collections part of the company did not have records that I had. I again asked to speak to supervisor and could not convince the representative to transfer, I told her to shut up and to have someone call within 30 minutes.

After 2 hours I called back and tried to explain to them what was going on. They then said they could see what the problem was. My payments were more than I was sending and I owed 89.OO, overlimit fees, late fees etc... I asked that a history be sent to me, however they could not do this as I do not know the account number. Once my card expired I destroyed it knowing I would not use it again. They then transferrred to customer service saying they could help me, they asked about the card and I told them and they said sorry I can't help you.

I neglected to say that they changed my phone number in Oct but did not change my address, so I have not received a statement since then. I am 43 years old and have never made a negative complaint but really think this needs looking into. Thank you

ok i got this credit card limit of 200 dollars of my 2007 it is n ow february 2008 and they keep charging fees after fees, and they are scaming me out of my money as a result i cannot get approved for any kind of other credit card and i want to be through with them

John of Allston, MA January 9, 2008

This is a credit card, who has charged me exhorbidant fees since I opened the account. It seems every time I pay them, there is a charge for paying them. When I don't pay them, they charge the most brutal interest, and harass me on a level that interferes with my personal and professional life. My account is closed, but they are still charging the highest possible interest rates they can.

I have a large debt owed to them now, which I fear is going to compromise and damage my life from now on. Buying, renting, leasing anything will be next to impossible because of this company.

Susan of Bowie, MD December 7, 2007

Credit One Bank is HORRIBLE! I closed my card with them because the interest rate was TOO high (23.9%). After closing the account I see beginning August 07 my interest rate went to 34%, Sept 36.54%, Oct. 39.95%; Nov. 42.89% and December a WHOPPING 51.5%!! Can you believe and I have NEVER been late on this card or any other!! Beware anyone wanting to get a card from them..

Kathryn of Verona, PA November 14, 2007

My 18 year old son was solicited for a student credit card from Credit One Bank, with a 200 credit limit. He applied for the card and received a bill for 74.75, a 69 enrollment fee and 5.75 for a prorated annual fee of 69. He called to cancel the card and they said, very rudely, that he had to pay the fees because he used the card once before he got this bill. (This charge was not on the bill.) He sent a letter contesting the charges and we haven't heard from Credit One Bank since then.

I can't believe that this kind of practice is legal. They are taking advantage of the financial naivete of college students. And even with all this going on, yesterday in the mail he received a pre-approved platinum visa application from the SAME bank. The fees are listed on the back of the form - no mention at all on the entire front - and the entire back of the form is printed in gray type (the front is black and colored type), making it very hard to read.

Rodney of Fredericksburg, VA November 13, 2007

Was going to be a little late with payment. Trying to let them know but there was no email where they would accept incoming email and no phone number. The only address was the one where you're only suppose to send payments. I'm getting ready to send the payment but have been harrassed constantly with phone calls. Even tho it's been explained to one person, I still get phone calls and some are nothing more than a recording and some are coming at 11:30 at night. I've tried to let them know but they fel if they bully they can get me to pay faster that this Thursday.
