in Credit cards
I had a letter from Cap One saying I was over my limit which I found odd as I pay more than the min amount each month and have not used the card in ages(it just has a £400 limit) I thought I had about £280 ish outstanding on it. So I went to log in to my account on line but seemed I had got my user name wrong so ended up having to call them. I was put straight through to collections who said I had to pay the outstanding £12 that was due, I said I wanted to access my on line statements first as I was concerned that my card may have been used fraudulently, and wanted to see what was going on. He than cut me off!! So I rang back again and was told until I paid the £12 they wouldn't re-set up online username!! I said that I didn't want to pay anything into that account until I could see what had been going on and if they wouldn't let me access it online, could they please send me a paper statement then.....she said no & hung up on me!! I rang back a further 3 times and each time was met with very rude staff who refused to give me their names, refused to put me through to a manager when I asked and kept putting the phone down on me!!
How do I check to see if my card has been used if I can't get a statement from them!! Surely by law they have to provide me with a statement either by paper or on line.....

I find that very strange. I have online access, though not used it for ages, but I have always also got paper statements.
If I ever have had any issues, and phoned them, they have been perfectly polite.0 -
I've had problems too with them,the moment you go over your limit your access to your account is normally denied( how can you pay your bill if you have no access!!)0
