2-3 Day Notice Capital One

I have requested credit limit increases on both my Capital One cards. One card has a CL of 10,000 and was opened 2/15 My other card I haven't asked for a CL increase for almost two years.
Credit with Capital One is good, no bad remarks.
What's your experience with the 2-3 day message in your documents? Do they usually allow for a CL?

What's your experience with the 2-3 day message in your documents? Do they usually allow for a CL? As has been said, 2-3 days are denials. As for your card opened in February, you may be too early. The CLIs tend to work after 6 calendar months (might be eligible 1-2 days early). As for the other card, you may want to check the reasons on this. If you disagree and would like a manual consideration of the CLI, you would need to contact the EO.

Capital One 5 day hold on payments.

I was using my capital one card like normal running somewhat of high balances and then paying them right off. I always pay on time and I always pay before the statement closing date. However, paying the card off in full before the statement closing date seems to trigger some sort of hold for five days. I'll be calling to get the hold removed as soon as the ACH payment shows up on my bank account.
The reason I always pay in full before the statement closing date is because I don't want Capital One to report a 100% credit utilization for the month to the credit bureaus.
So now you can see how a five day hold would throw a wrench into my plans.
Here's the thing though. Once I scheduled the payment, Capital One's accounts show 0 balance on the card, but a 0 available funds on the card as well, while its in this 5 day hold limbo.
Well, here comes the statement closing date, on a *Monday (see edit). So what the heck is going to be reported to the credit bureaus?
Will it be a 100% credit utilization? Will it be 0% credit utilization?
Either way, it's not good. I would be better off paying a lower amount to see if there was a chance that it would be processed in a timely manner.
However, I can't do that during the 5 day hold. I can only do that once the 5 day hold is over.
If the payment hasn't been processed then I can only assume that they will report a credit utilization percentage of 100 percent. Like I spent.
What do you think? I'll be waiting as the weekend passes. Then, I'll call in on Monday; the day of the statement closing date. I might be able to get the hold released, push the payment through by the end of day. And then I will have a low balance reported to the credit bureaus. I'll have all A's on my credit score. edit: a mistake was made earlier in this post. the statement closing date is actually on a Sunday. So it's too late to try to push a payment through now. It's going to report as it was on that day.
UPDATE: It's Monday. I woke up at 6am and everything worked out perfectly. Capital one was happy to release the funds it took all of 5 minutes, and now I'm back to a card with a full balance.
UPDATE 2: 12:00 PM on Monday, the statement came in. It went just about as perfectly as possible. I'm all set with Capital One and my statement, everything is paid, and it correctly reported to the agency. Under 10% of my limit with full credit availability. I got an A.

^ (Gasp) I can't have that happen to me. I can't have them report a 98% (105% in my case) utilization ratio! It mustn't. I have no other cards. This is my only card. It's just a platinum. The limit was just increased to 500 dollars. I never had any returned payments until they did the 5 day hold. You really don't know where the money is because everything is always pending.Are you waiting until the statement closing date to time your payment, or only few days ahead of statement closing, and making that one payment per month? That's a knife edge you are dealing with. On a $500 card, I'm all for maxing that puppy out and then PIF by the payment due date, but that presumes one stops using the card before the limit. If you are using this as your main spend vehicle, that is fine. You need to pay it more often. When you get to $250, set up an immediate payment on Capital One's site to pull the $250 from your bank account. That will take a few days to clear, meanwhile you continue to charge on the card. When you have charged another $250 of spend on the card, log on and schedule another payment to pull from your bank account. Alternatively, on Saturday, look at what is in your Capital One Open Balance, and schedule a payment to pull from your bank account to pay it on Monday. Let those balances report, whatever they are. You may think a $500 statement balance is a Bad Thing? It is not. Over the course of time, when you show that you can report those kinds of balances and PIF, then you will start to get better cards, to give yourself breathing room. And +1 to the comments that you can't allow these payments to be returned. Ever. When you commit to a payment going to your credit card, you no longer have those funds available in your checking account. As another alternative, open a checking account at Capital One. This will provide the instant payment from your checking to your credit card that you want to see. Good luck!

Thanks for everyones help and advise. If I can help in any way, let me know. I always read these forums and applied your notes. On that note, do you think I should close out my Credit One account 1.7K, as well as my Citi and Capital One Bank account's with lower balances? This should bring my average credit card limits above $10K on average. I do not use those cards at all, and have no benefits. close creditone and make them send you a letter stating your account is PIF and has a 0 balance - best way to ensure no surprises. I actually called them back before 30 days to make sure no pop up balance came up so they wouldn't report a late charge.

Capital One Luv or no Luv???

I have two capital one regular platinum cards. The CL are $1400 and $2000. Utilization is 50% no missed payments. I recv'd minor ($300) increases on both cards back in March 2015. I hit the love button last week (3 months out) and was denied. Although I've been reading to wait 6 months with Cap1, I've been a member since 2004 and rarely had any increases. I know this was primarily due to high utilization (over 70% on all accounts) but said what the hell and called the EO to ask for manual review for CLI. The rep told me she would upgrade my cards to Quicksilver cards but said she submitted the manual request for increases and I would receive a letter in the mail in 7 - 10 days. I mumbled, "so I am denied, right?" and the rep said, "no it REALLY is under submission." Is that just EO jibberish for denial, or has anyone had luck w/ cap1 CLI after getting 7 - 10 day letter talk from EO??

My experience with Cap One has been great. I've contacted the EO once and got an increase within 2 days. Funny thing is that I have NEVER received a letter informing me of that increase, I just kept going into my account and noticed the new CL. They do send your file to a credit analyst for a review. I was given the 7 to 10 day window for a response. It definitely doesn't take that long. I've had great luck with CLI with Cap.One. I keep my utilization between 15 to 22% and I pay them at least twice a month. Good Luck!

Another Capital One Increase...This time an increase of 4K!

Background: I opened my Capital One Quicksilver One card in February of this year with a SL of $500 and requested an increase in April. I was automatically approved for a $1,000 increase. Fast foward to last Saturday night (7/11/15) I decided to try for another CLI because I was nearly maxing out every month on my $1,500 credit line. I needed the ability to make more purchases as well as keep my utilization down. I applied online and received the 2 -3 business day notice. So Monday (7/13) I e-mailed the EO stating my request, my desired increase ($4,000), and reasoning for that desired increase. Yesterday (7/15) I received a call from a very nice woman from the executive office. She asked me a few questions, verified some information, and told me she would be sending my request to the underwriters. She said I would hear something back in 7-10 business days. This morning (7/16) I logged into my account and my credit limit is now $5,500! I am beyond happy with the quality of customer service and the quick turnaround. I'm also enrolled in the credit steps program. I am due for an automatic incease after my 5th payment. I just made my 5th payment a few days ago and my statement closes tomorrow! I'm curious to see if I'll get that increase as well. I would assume yes, but I'll have to wait and see. Extra info: I pay my high balances down every month leaving about 1 to 2% utilization reporting on my card.In my EO letter I mentioned that a $5,500 credit limit would match my Discover It credit line (just started reporting)

Capital One EO CLI!!!

So I recently got my Cap One QS card with a $500 limit. Initially upon opening I had to send verification of address and SSN. Well I was approved with pretty much bad credit including bk7 from 2010 and other silly collections. So after about a month I requested a CLI with EO office and no sucess and was told to try back in a few months I am in the credit step program. So I tried again online last week and they said they will review so I immediatley called the EO office and was told that it was denied because of too many inquiries...and all the other negative things. But I told the woman the form online said they tried to contact me I guess I had an alert. So I was advised to take the fraud alert off my report which I called and did and called them back for a manual review. After three days I went online and seen they had a request for proof of income verification I had put $126k. I sent paystubs from one job, a letter from the other and bank statment showing total deposits...blah blah blah.... soooooooo just a minute ago I decided to double check my cap one account and I was hoping I'd fall out of my chair since I felt like chances were good since they requested additional information. AND GUESS WHAT!!!! BAM $ 1500. LOL it may not seem like much to some but it sure was for me since that card was over limit (dont ask or judge). So I am super excited now! and thats my story lol.

Thing is majority of the people skip the CSR and go right to the EO. The reason we shame it is because the executive office is for serious matters such as identity theft, wrong credit reporting information, fraud charges or account closure issues. It's not for getting a $500 on a platinum card. Ever notice the majority of people using EO is for a ridiculous CLI of no more than $1-2k? This is going to lead to the EO shutting down numbers and emails for people who actually need it. I think of it like this. Would you skip over your manager and their manager and go straight to your CEO to ask for a raise? Probably hell no.Yes, I understand the point being made, however, consider the following: - myFICO is a small sample size of the MILLIONS of people who have access to the EO. We often convince ourselves on this forum that we're evidence of trends - but we're not. Reason being is...- we're also self-selecting. These is a particularly aggressive, educated group of consumers - not Joe Blow. Half the CSRs don't know what strategies are commonplace here.- you very well may also be hearing about the CLI contact more often than its actual frequency as compared to other issues (highly likely, in fact)- if the EO truly had no interest in ever dealing with CLI...they just wouldn't. The precedent for credo card companies telling us to shove off is pretty tangible. Just try try to keep in mind - as I've said on other topics - the world of credit is almost entirely YMMV. Seems very arrogant to me that some myFICO forum folks have decided they know all the "rules," when the rules in most cases are just unwritten policies that change as the wind blows. The EO email and number is not publicly available. Is it on their Cap 1 site under contact us? No. When you Google "Capital One Executive Office" this site is the first hit. This site is also linked in FlyerTalk Forums and Reddit. These sites can reach globally. So please, see the bigger picture than the same 10 people who post in threads. And this site is notorious for assisting in getting things stopped or shut down. The Duck card, the Discover CLI, the Cap 1 EO and a few others. I know people won't stop using it for a useless CLI on a card but that means I can't stop posting my distaste for it. I'm not going to argue with you. You're entitled to your opinion - regardess of if I agree or not - but I'm just trying to point out the other side. This is a great site for information, and you're right: it's very informative and influences are fair number of people. However, your very argument is ironically a precise example of what I'm saying: you think what happens on this site is exclusively responsible for those issues. Seems arrogant to me. Agree to disagreePlease read again. I said this site assists. I did not say "exclusively" as you suggested. If you're going to make an argument, don't falsify what I say when it's in plain text.

Capital One Venture Card approval proccess

So I helped my wife apply for the Cap One Venture card with the 40k bonus offer. The screen shot stated "You are approved" you will receive your card in 7-10 days but did not give any other info such as CL etc. When I applied for that same card I was immediately notified that I was approved and my liimit was 20k. I contacted the 800 number and the recording said that the application was under review. I assume that is under review in regards to determining the initial CL and APR? Any thoughts, experiences with applying for this card.

Congrats on both approvals! In my wallet: Capital One (secured) 1917; Quicksilver 5000; Venture 15,000; Barclay Apple Rewards 2000; CareCredit 3300; Bank of America Platinum Visa 2000; Bank of America Travel Rewards 3500; Bank of America Travel Rewards 3500; Amazon Store Card 5000; Discover 10,000. Total Credit: 51,217.
6/19-FICO: EQ - 782; TU - 769; EX - 681; GOAL: 780 across the board. Gardening until further notice.

CitiBank Credit Card Nightmare - Please go back to Capital One

I am ready to cancel my best buy credit card. On December 27, 2013, there was fraud on my account (I believe from the Target breach from black friday sales). Anyways, there was fraud and my card was canceled. However, I didn't find this out until 3 days later when my card wouldn't work anywhere between the 27th and 30th. My card was canceled and I never received a text message, email, phone call, or letter. NOTHING. I wouldn't know unless I called to find out what was going on. I asked if this was normal and they said yes - no communication.
Once I called them, they said they would issue me a new card (this wasn't automatically done). They could not expedite it. I did have to confirm everything that was fraudulent on the card. Fortunately there was only 1 charge that posted and all other attempts were blocked. Still, that one fraudulent charge has not been removed. I have called multiple times and told different things about when that charge would be removed. Now I'm told to wait 6 weeks for it to be removed. That's six weeks from today, not from when the charge appeared.
Before the card was canceled, I scheduled an online payment for the due date. I called them to confirm that the payment would still go through even though a new card was issued and I couldn't access all of my online account. They told me not to worry, it will post. The day after my due date I get an email saying my payment couldn't be processed and now I'm past due (with a late fee). I called and made a new payment over the phone and was told due to their error, the late fee would be waived and I wouldn't see it in a couple days. 5 days later I finally get my new card in the mail, re-register my account online, and low and behold, the fee is there. I call back and was told that the late fee removal was never processed. I was told to wait 6 more weeks for the fraudulent charge to be removed (even though the charge took place in california, and I have account activity to prove I was in NY state at the same time, and they agreed). They now say they will process the late fee reversal, but to wait 2 billing cycles. As far as I'm concerned, that charge is them stealing from me because I should never have been charged that in the first place.
This experience with citibank is disgusting. I have never had this kind of trouble with any credit card. I have had fraud on my accounts in the past, and every time Capital One has been awesome to work with - they pick up fraud faster and better, they email/text/call you right away, and they have done what they say they will. Sure, others may have different experiences, but when every single citi agent has let me down and most have lied to me, I'm very angry with them. This is the last year I have elite membership with best buy. If this isn't fixed in a week, the account is getting closed. Are others having nightmares with Citibank?

Hello darkprime,
Finding out that your credit card may have been used by someone other than yourself is a very scary thing. It sounds like Citibank has tried to keep your account safe by immediately cancelling your card, but I can understand your concern at not receiving a notification from them as soon as this occurred. I’m very sorry to read of how difficult it has been to resolve the various issues resulting from having your card cancelled.
As you’re probably aware, while Citibank is a valued partner, they are a completely separate company from Best Buy. Due to this, we do not have direct access to or influence over their accounts or policies. However, we truly appreciate your loyalty as an Elite Plus customer, and I would be happy to reach out to them on your behalf to look into this right away. Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was able to locate your information, and as soon as I have more details, I will be sending you a private message. To read your private messages, please make sure you are logged into the forum, and click on the envelope icon in the top right corner.

Rebuilding help- need tips for Capital One Accounts

Hi- Thank you all for all the wonderful information, you make rebuilding seem so easy and attainable! I never realized all the different versions of scoring, how to do debt validation, get errors removed from my report and where to focus my attention. Just 2 months ago my scores ranged between 556-580, today they range from 600-611 so little improvement over the last couple months. Here is the situation I am in. I have 3 capital one cards, 2 of which are platinums with $500 limits and 1 is the old Orchard Bank card w/$300 limit. These cards are 6-8 years old. I also have a Fingerhut account w/a $1650 limit, totalling $2950 in credit of which $640 is in use so utilization should be about 22% (making a little more headway on this util each month). I have been 100% ontime w/Fingerhut for the last 2 years. 100% on time w/my auto loan for the last 36 months and almost always on time w/Capital one except for 3 months Sept-Nov in 2014 where I went over my balances and accrued over limit charges that brought my minimum payments up. Technically I was still on time but the $50 a month per card I was giving them wasn't enough for the min payment. I was in a tight situation at the time, they reported those 3 months as late for all 3 cards. I went years before this paying 100% on time every month but always carrying a high balance so they never increased my limits earlier even though payment history was good. Now that my utilization is down and its been 8 months since the Capital one dings, I applied for CLI's on these cards and received letters denying the increases as they said tehse late payments are too recent. I read that a lot of people have success w/CLI's after about 6 months. I've called twice to see if they would good will any of those late payments, I was shot down immediately the first time, the 2nd time I had a nice woman but she wouldn't budge either, she politely told me she went back and looked at those statements and I was indeed not meeting the minimum payments & the only thing she could do was to mail me hard copies of those statements. I really only have 1 major collection on file thats affecting my score for a little over $1000 w/a CA that I've never heard from via phone or mail yet they are accruing charges each month. It showed up in my file late in 2014 for a card that went delinquent on about 2.5 yrs ago. I haven't decided how to handle this collection just yet, PIF right now is not an option for me so before I figure out how I want to approach this I thought I'd try to make some headway w/Capital one first on my limits andutilization. Does anyone have any recommendations? I've lowered my utilization while still using the cards frequently, just paying down more and paying on time but am getting nowhere on goodwills or CLI's and persistence is not my strong suit. Do you recoomend I wait until I have a full 12 months of on time payments before I try again? I did prequal for the QS card but am afraid if I submit, I'll only get rejected for the same "recent late payments" that they rejected my CLI requests for even though they are going on 9 months old.... Does anyone have luck w/a new Cap 1 card while not having luck w/CLI's? Should I try for another card, Anybody get accepted for Barclays card w/low 600's score? I only have 4 inquiries on my file right now. 1 is old, should drop off next month, the other 3 were recent apps for a rental property, no inquiries from credit cards in 2 yrs. Thanks in advance for any advice!!!

Once you get nine months out from the last late payment on the account (not just a reported 30, but service charge late) they will allow a CLI if your scores are high enough.

Yeah, Cap One is pretty strict with their reporting. I really only have 1 major collection on file thats affecting my score for a little over $1000 w/a CA that I've never heard from via phone or mail yet they are accruing charges each month. It showed up in my file late in 2014 for a card that went delinquent on about 2.5 yrs ago.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Is the OC also reporting that delinquency? If so are they showing an unpaid balance? With Cap One, they like to see heavy usage, and low reported balances. Keep requesting CLI's online until you get some joy - you just need to get far enough away from those lates. I've lowered my utilization while still using the cards frequently, just paying down more and paying on time but am getting nowhere on goodwills or CLI's and persistence is not my strong suit. Do you recoomend I wait until I have a full 12 months of on time payments before I try again? I did prequal for the QS card but am afraid if I submit, I'll only get rejected for the same "recent late payments" that they rejected my CLI requests for even though they are going on 9 months old.... Keep trying every month - use the online link for it, don't call them. Don't worry about CLI denials, they won't be held against you in any way. JUst keep plugging away and check the denial reasons. I was getting the same thing all last year until Jan when I sarted getting "score reasons", then they tripled my limits in Feb. Does anyone have luck w/a new Cap 1 card while not having luck w/CLI's? Should I try for another card, Anybody get accepted for Barclays card w/low 600's score? I only have 4 inquiries on my file right now. 1 is old, should drop off next month, the other 3 were recent apps for a rental property, no inquiries from credit cards in 2 yrs. Thanks in advance for any advice!!! Right now you would only qualify for the "average credit" level Cap One cards, and they are an auto-deny for having two or more cap one accounts already. (its stated in the disclosures), so do not app for any more Cap One cards until scores are in the high 600's - then app for the "excellent credit" cards. Since you have a long history with the cards, you might try Barclays (I was approved for Barclays with 618 TU score), but wait until your last 30 day late is over 12 months old.You're actually doing fine, just need to move out a bit from those lates that occurred last year. You might also call and get them converted to QS/QS1 reward cards.

Capital One official sponsors of my sock drawer.

So I have this cobranded cap1 card (union plus card). Over 18mo old with the same crappy 1k limit. Tried for a cli a while back no go. Denied because of a "lack of experience with current CL" LMAO with a 18k Amex and 8.5k discover I found it rather amusing. Ever since the luv button stated a required HP, since I was in the mortgage process I never bothered. Closed on my house last Friday, I figure what the heck,
I'll give it a go. Tried for 4000 probably should have went higher...congratulations new limit 1200. $200 for a HP, you have to be kidding me, can't wait to see what BS the 7-10 day letter says.
Back to the drawer, I'll use it for a new pair of socks in 6mo.
Can't they be honest with their reasons. I know it gets very little use but with a 1k limit and 19% APR why would it. Where's the competition.

Finally received the 7-10 day explanation letter. I asked for 4k the letter basically states that $200 is "the most they can offer". Wow this takes conservative to a whole new level. $200 after over a year of having this acct, just think in ten years a could have a 3k limit.
I'm thinking it may not have been a HP after all, as the letter didn't include a CS or the free report option. So that's good. Just wish I had a more useful limit. I'll try again soon and see what happens.If it wasn't a hard pull, then go onto Capital One's site and apply for Venture and Quicksilver - same day should be one set of pulls (no guarantees here)

Yeah, CAP 1 has been doing that for a while. They do it mostly when your charge declines in the store also. I was on edge once in a long line and the card decline at check out. When I called, they thought it was fraud and I had to hang up for them to call me back.Wow... this is surprising to hear. In my case Capital One has never even flinched, even when they have the right to. I've shopped at a grocery store at 2AM at a store hundreds of miles away from my billing address, and I actually expected to have to call them but it worked - just like it always does. I also recently made my an international purchase over the internet for the first time with my Capital One card; I chatted with them to let them know I was about to make the purchase, and the CSR acted confused as to why I was even bringing it up. The int'l charge was approved, and I've used my card for small overseas purchases several times since then, all without calling and each time it's been approved. USAA, on the other hand... is a different story. I really, really like them, but for better or worse, their security is a bit more tight. Actually, my Capital One card is my go-to if there is ever an issue with my USAA account, since I'm usually not in the mood to call the bank when I'm at the register if I have another card I know will work.

Capital One Platinum?

I have just begun my credit rebuilding journey. About a month ago, I applied for a secured card from my bank and was approved for $300 minimum. I sent them the $300, and read that CapOne is pretty lenient with approving secured cards, so I applied with them as well. I got approved and had to send them the deposit. I talked my grandparents into adding me as an AU on a credit card with a $9k limit and $0 balance that they've had since 1987. That AU alone bumped my scores 20+ points on EX and EQ. TU had the wrong address for me, so it didn't pick up on the AU but I sent them a letter requesting change of address. Anyway, with my scores slightly higher, I was feelin' froggy and I had been reading that CapOne QS1 is pretty relaxed with their approvals. I thought I most likely would not get approved if I applied but it was worth a shot. I applied yesterday and got the "7-10 day" message. I read on the forums that if you get this message, its not an approval or denial, and to call the BD number the following day to ask them if they needed any more info. I called them today and to my surprise, the account specialist told me I was approved for $300 (better than nothing, and I was ectstatic to finally have a real card) and to expect the card within 7-10 days. Now my question is, I've been reading some people had better luck with CapOne Platinum but denied a CapOne QS1. Since I've already got the QS1, what are the chances I could get approved for a Platinum? And if I do it today, would it still be with the 3 HPs from yesterday? I'd like to be able to get both of those unsecured, keep my CapOne secured, and either close or keep my bank secured card. Not sure what the best option is. Thanks in advance.

First congratulations!! Second, I wouldn't go for the Platinum right now, because it seems sometimes when you start out with Capital One's sub-prime cards, they get stuck at low credit limits and won't grow. Give yourself some more time, use the cards you have over the next few months, and before you know it, you'll get approved for better cards.

Capital One AutoLuv!

So, as many of you know, I was recently approved for a Venture with cap1 and got a nice SL of $10k. Well, shortly after applying, I decided to go onto my account and ask for a CLI on my existing QS Visa, and I got the 2-3 day message. Note I had recently gotten a $500 CLI via luv button maybe 2-3 weeks ago. Well today, I logged onto the wallet app to check on my account, and when I looked at the available credit, it had jumped up another $500 to $1.3k! Thanks capital one!

Congrats on your Cap One success!
