On 6/6, a gentleman named, ***********************, called me informing me of fraudulent transactions off of my Credit One credit card. He asked me if I had my credit card number with me and I told him no. He told me to call his private number. He kept in contact with me about the situation. Then he was giving me codes to help put fraud alert and to put the money back on my credit card. He told me that there were at least 3 or 4 fraud transactions, ranging from ******** TR, another from the *********** and some other foreign place. He told me that they hacked into my account using my SS number. However, when I was finally able to log on to my account, because it was not letting me log in for quite sometime, it was showing 4 transactions with Istanbul TR with various amount ranges, and 3 express payment fees all within a span of about a week. I contacted the Credit One Bank and also my regular bank about the situation. They filed a fraud investigation, and they told me that it will take 30 to 90 days to complete their investigation. I called Credit One up because of the amount due because they sent me another card, which I haven't activated it, along with a new account, when I told them not to, and the lady told me that I should contact the Hardship counseling to see if they can help me out. On 6/28 I called them up to close my account, and they told me that account was already closed. I knew my old account was closed, but not the new one. Today I receive a letter from Credit One stating that I am being held responsible for over $4,570 for the transactions that were made within a 3 week period. When I call, they keep transferring me to different people every time.Business response

I have two credit cards through Credit One Bank. I was recently notified that due to an interest rate amount totaling $27.00 (between both cards), that my credit score was being lowered. I wasn't called (no phone message), I was not emailed, and I didn't receive a letter about this from Credit One Bank. I was notified after the fact. Please understand that I am a good customer and that I make my ********************** card payments on time, but this was the way this credit card company chose to act, which was aggressively. Allow me to reciprocate in turn. I realize that some customers might just cave to the fact, being victimized, however some will choose to fight back. Just like the importance of having a good credit score, it's equally important for a company to have a good business reputation. I independently advocate for Veterans within *******************. I am affiliated with the **** FRA, and the American Legion, having lifetime memberships with all. I review companies regularly, especially those that take advantage of others. As mentioned, Credit One Banks approach to this issue was aggressive. I feel that it was unnecessary. They may have the right to do so, but customers also have the right to complain about the way they are treated by local businesses and to share that information with others. From the standpoint of being retired special forces, retired law enforcement, and a staunch advocate for Veterans, maybe Credit One Bank should think prior to action, trying to solve matters easily instead of in ways it might cause their company complications. Just a thought. Either way, until I pay my credit cards off, Credit One Bank and I will have to deal with one another amicably somehow, then rest assured I will close my accounts, especially after this kind of treatment.Business response

I am rejecting this response because:
Yes, I received the letters (thank you) but they work with Experian, Experian is part of their phone application, and because of this partnership, they are able to make changes to a customers ********************** score. I was actually notified about my credit score being lowered through their phone application. They ignored, sidestepped the fact that they never gave me an opportunity to be notified about their intentions. Not by text, not by email, and not by letter. So my credit score was lowered over a matter of $27.00 in interest between two credit cards. Its not mentioned within their two letters, fancy that so, no I am rejecting any mediation. Please tell them NO! I am not closing my account.

I was approved for an **************** credit card through Credit Karma from Credit One Bank. When I received my card in the mail, I also received a letter stating my account was frozen until I verified my income and identity. I followed every request and uploaded all the correct documentation. They are so incompetent they keep losing my documents and say to resubmit. Ive had enough with them months ago and have called three times demanding they close my account. ********************** One told me over the phone that they had refunded my $35 annual fee via **** and closed my account, but Ive never received my $35 via mail, and my account is still frozen and not closed. I dont know what else to do to make these idiots do their job. All I want is my account closed and not to be contacted by them anymore, as *** told them.Customer response

I am rejecting this response because: I was told I would receive a check by the mail (which never came) for my annual fee that was paid on an account never fully opened. If you are doing an EFT refund to my account, Ill keep my eyes open for it. However, I know my account was not closed in March as stated because I have continued to receive monthly banking statements showing that the account is active and has a balance of $-39. *** attached last month's banking statement for your reference, and Im willing to bet Ill still receive another one this month. I want my account closed and proof showing that it is with my $39 back in my hands.

Have explained a countless number of times how the card was able to be used because they shipped it to the wrong address, i have sent in to them (credit one) my police report, my FTC report, a notarized statement under oath confirming i did not authorize or make these fraudulent transactions, satellite images showing my location during the fraud purchases and also my work schedule showing i was working during the time period. They have admitted to shipping the card to the wrong address but still somehow holding me responsible for their error. Credit one also reported late payments and the fraudulent transactions to my credit reporting agencies and my score has taken a massive hit and it states banks are NOT supposed to report fraud and disputes to the 3 major credit reporting agencies.the account is also racking up late fees and interest my balance before the fraud transactions was $0.00 i have spoke to them on the phone numerous times and have gotten nowhere they just keep reopening the dispute for a error they made, i am being heavily penalized i have never missed a payment with them or any other financial institutionBusiness response

RE: Case Number: 240618000241C for Account Ending in 8206 This was disapproved because they claim I authorized the fraud activity. This is false. I blatantly told the rep on the phone that my phone was stolen and my cards were with it. Whoever had my phone authorized this activity. I even have a police report to supplement this claim. I filed the ** the same day as the fraud was noticed and reported. My phone was stolen, and the person used it to make transactions and approve fraudulent transactions. I am unsure of a suspect at this time, but it was stolen when I was at the mall in *********, **. I didnt notice the cards were taken as well at the time. The suspect hacked into my phone and approved transactions and even tried to Zelle themselves money and use Cash App. Due to me having no access to my phone at the time, I had no other place to access the internet to combat this and no knowledge of the card usage until I got a statement e-mail with a balance.Business response

I am rejecting this response because:I was disputing ALL the transactions on the card since June 12, 2024. None of the charges since then totaling 795.12 are not mine. Please go back and credit those. Those are the ones included as well. It was all charges since June 12, 2024. My account balance should be $0. Please go back and include ALL the transactions. The police report supports all transactions and such from when my phone and wallet were stolen before June 12, 2024.

I had my phone stollen at ********* in April along with my credit cards in the mag wallet on the back. Had multiple cards used & the thief even tried to send money to ***** from my paypal. I filed a police report with the city of *****, ** (where the theft took place). It took over 2 weeks for me to get a new phone thru applecare. While waiting for my new phone I logged into my online accounts to check for fraudulent charges, so when I finally had a phone again I could call my card companies. I had 7 fraud charges equaling $233.86 on my Credit ******************** card. I called Credit One, filed a claim & a new card was issued. Told the rep what happened, including details about my phone hence not being able to call right away. I asked if there was a portal or email address to send a copy of the police report. I was told not to worry it wasn't needed but if it was I would be emailed. I never heard from them until they sent an email stating they "determined that no error occurred" because "I accessed my online account during the time stated compromise without reporting the transactions". Of course I accessed my online account, how else would I know if there was fraud & for how much, etc to report to the police? & since my phone was stolen I was unable to call immediately. I called Credit One about this & asked where I could send a copy of the police report ********* gave me a random fake address. I asked who to address it to, he said didn't matter, its all the same department(makes no sense). He said to send it with a signed letter explaining what happened & my account number(not comfortable with that) especially not knowing where it's actually going. Asked if I could do it online & they said "heading to the post office isn't much trouble". Was also told to hurry because claims have to be made in 60 ******** was running out of time. Although the claim was already made & am just trying to appeal their decision with paperwork they claimed they never even needed.Customer response
