Capital One

Back in December last I sold my house. I paid off the balance on my Capital One card about £1,100. At the same time the account was closed. I have had since several letters from Cap One stating I owed £70 odd because of late payment etc. I have tried to ring them and discuss the matter but the chap on the other end spoke very poor English and I couldnt understand him.I wrote to them three times but to no avail. I have since checked my credit file to find out they have made an entry indicating I have missed three payments. The very next day I had a letter from a company called DEBITAS asking for payment for Cap One. I gave them short shrift telling them the story, they then said the account HAD been closed. How can I get the credit file back in order and the entries deleted if they wont aclnowledge me?. Sorry to be long winded but it made me pretty angry.

    If Capital One refuse to help you, the contact the Information Commissioner's Office - http://www.ico.gov.uk/

    Organisations have an obligation to ensure that the data they hold on you is accurate; if you are convinced that it is not, then use the data protection act to get it changed.
