Re: Capital One now officially rocks!

I combined all my capone cards to make one LOC.  They did it for me twice. Look into it.

Re: Capital One now officially rocks!

I've never thought about disputing a late charge - I've been a Cap One customer for about 3.5 years (it was my "starter" card at age 25) and I have ONE late payment > 30 days. It's the only late payment on my entire CR, over 9 accounts!

I just emailed them today to request a new APR, it's currently 25.15% (versus my Amex and a 9.1% Citibank Mastercard). CL is $2,000 and there's a $0 balance on the card.

I feel pretty confident about getting a reduced APR, but how do I swing getting this late charge pulled?! I'd love to see my lonely red flag go away!!

Re: Capital One now officially rocks!

I just took the plunge and did this today, calling that number, and I received a $500 CLI! Thanks so much! I'm new on these forums and I have been learning so much from all here Smiley Happy

Re: Capital One now officially rocks!

Congrats on your success with Cap 1.  I have done okay with them too.  I got my first
card in April of this year with a $2K limit.  I waited three months and called the back door
number for an increase and they gave me $750, then about one month after that, I was
checking my account on line and noticed they had upped it another $500.. giving me a
total CL of $3250.  For somebody like me who is rebuilding damaged credit, I feel that
is a pretty good deal.  I recently apped for another account with them and got approved,
but that one only has a $500 limit.  I will call in a few months and see if I can get a CLI
on that.

PUNCH ALLY!!!!! CONGRATS

Re: Capital One now officially rocks!

I wonder if I should try for a CLI. I got my got card back in Jan 08, with a $500CL then increased to $750 in April(credit steps). Should i try it or is it too soon?

Re: Capital One now officially rocks!

Yes the backdoor numbers are great.  If I would have known about them back when I had capital one credit cards, I might not have eventually cancelled them.  I was stuck on $500 for two years!!
