Capital One Sucks

Michael Clark — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:07:08 +0000

I am trying to pay my Capital One bill using their web site. For the past four hours, the credit card account site has been unavailable, but I am directed to their 800 number. I call the 800 number, and discover two very important things: 7b1d91231a87fb75e0054e886a0dea57

You can’t reach a human on their 800 number, 800-955-7070
To pay an account balance using a check over the phone, you have to pay an extra $10 fee. WTF?

So, because the Capital One technical staff can’t keep their web service up and running, I have to pay an extra $10 fee?!? And I can’t reach anyone to complain about it.Capital One sucks.

I’m not the only person who thinks that Capital One Sucks:

Is Morgan Stanley Dying?

Michael Clark — Tue, 23 Aug 2005 13:28:00 +0000

I’ve been seeing news articles about Morgan Stanley, and some kind of problems they are having at the top. Should I be concerned? 7b1d91231a87fb75e0054e886a0dea57

My wife and I have been Morgan Stanley customers for over 10 years. We started out as Dean Witter clients. A few months ago our broker left. We got no notice. We moved our accounts from Roanoke, Virginia to Washington DC. We got a new broker. He just left. Now Morgan Stanley doesn’t want to return our calls. I finally reached someone just today, and he treated me like I was dirt. I’m sorry my portfolio isn’t in the six figures, but that’s the way life is. Morgan Stanley needs to treat their clients right, and I don’t think they are. A big part of me things they are trying to get us to close our accounts.
