Yes, yes, yes!
Capital One is the only credit card company I have ever burned. It was 1998 just after graduation from college. $1,500 card, owed about $900. Stopped paying. Never settled. Didn't think they would ever let me back in and never applied again.
Here in 2017 I have a $10,000 Venture One card. Didn't start at the bottom with a Quicksilver or secured card either.
That durn Portfolio Recovery company still SP's me to this day over that card just trying to get their name on my credit report.
Capital One is very forgiving. In their disclosure statement they state you have to wait one-year if you had a charge off with them. In your case you paid them off so your good to go.

Lol, not sure any company truely forgets, but forgives sure. Cap One seems to , as Joltdude puts, suffer from short term memory loss....or is that long term?
Good enough for most folks
Ancedotal datapoint.. Aquaintence was CO'ed.. Paid the collection off... in fulll.. two months later was getting preapprovals and got approved for 2 cards..and this was in less than a year after the CO.... So yes... you shouldn't have a problem...

Like with all things, nothing is absolute. Cap One locked my cards and account 5 years ago when one card went 120+ days late. I quickly paid all of the balances but was told by a rep to not bother applying for any of their cards as my account had been flagged. As of about 18 months ago they were still giving me the cold shoulder. To be fair, they may approve an application now but I have no reason to try again.
Your chances are good, but Cap One can and does hold grudges when it wants to.

Iced have you tried Cap One's prequalifier relatively recently? I'm curious to see if it offers you anything...
Do not have to follow through with an app.. Typical SP prequalify online...
Also take a glance at the offered APR if you decide to try this.
Not that youd want one, but would be interesting to know if your at least partly off their naughty list

I just ran a pre-qualify check for you and it came back that I might like the QS. I'm not sure the pre-qual is aware of any account flags or if it's just running a credit score check, though.

Hmm.. ill have to ask around a bit to confirm some things but thats why i said partially off the naughy list.. With that associate that applied and got denied it came back with either no offers or just the secured platinum (this was a couple years ago) .. but then a month or two after it was paid off it came back with a QSOne offer and Plat which he took... I was the one who got him to try for a PFD on his prev Cap One card .. Appreciate it...
