need free way of contacting capital one credit card

:jhi, does anyone know if there is a free way of contacting capital one credit card?

i got my online password wrong and so my a/c is blocked.

to unblock it means calling a costly 0844 number which i cannot afford.

capital 1 does not offer to call u back.

thanks in advance.

    Try a free or local rate number and ask to be transferred.

    Go to the FAQ Section and under the Forgotten password subject they direct you to a screen to give you a temporary password or something like that.
  • 0844 numbers cost 5p per min from a landline (not too bad for a premium rate number).

    The only way I think you could try without being charged, which is what I did today is :-

    Call the card Capital One card activation number on
    0800 952 5090.

    When it asks you to press a number to activate a card, press nothing.
    It will then ask you the same question again, but do not press any buttons.
    You will then be transferred to a customer services rep.

    Both take you to the services menu and choose the option to speak to an advisor.

    Select the phone number that's inclusive in your callplan.
