They are obviously loan sharks in every sense. I always shred the solicitation.
I know for a fact that, in Florida, debt collectors cannot go to your place of work. Had a lawyer verify that for me.

Easy enough to stop cancel their credit card.
What happens if they stop by for a visit and you call the police telling them that they stopped by and you went to the bathroom and when they left there was $100.00 dollars missing from your purse.
Another mind numbingly stupid idea. Bet the person who thought up this idea got all A+ in school. Come to think about it it is way, way beyond mind numbingly stupid.
The IRS showed up at my front door about a year ago. They were looking for a person. I knew the person, who used to live in the house. So they do come out.
If I had a banking or credit card representative show up at my work or home, I would within a day or two close my account.
Release the hounds.
As a non gov entity the company and it’s employees are not
bound by the same legal restraints. They CAN pretty much
show up as they wish.....and you at your home and management
at your place of business can just as rightfully tell them
to depart forthwith and with haste or be arrested. If they show up unannounced, uninvited and unwanted and are told to
leave immediately and fail to do so they are then trespassing and NEED to be arrested.
My dad has one...good thing, his address on CAP1 is a po box LOL
If they come to your place of work, they can be told to leave.
Pay your bill every month and they won’t have any reason to visit you.
Don’t pay and they should get in your face!
Before it got to this stage, I would explain that if their account was behind, and they were unwilling to make repayment arrangements, there were options available to recover such debt including repossession (if a lien had been registered), referral to a collection agency or legal action. No intimidation or threat was ever made, merely an explanation of options to recover the debt.
Capital One's new mascot.
“Describe what Richard Fairbank looks like.”
Anyone can show up at your door at any time, absent some kind of posted signs / covenants. It’s whether they have the legal right to gain entry that remains to be seen. I suppose if you sign a contract giving your credit card company carte blanche to your home, that’s your fault.
I trust the news media even less than credit card companies. On the two pages on which the article appears there is a total of four ads for outfits that claim to help consumers choose the best credit cards.
Well, there is that little FDCPA thing.
But that was from back when the government told banks what they had to do instead of the other way around!
Capital One (COF) last week unveiled a commercial featuring the actor Samuel L. Jackson and his celebrated forthright delivery, including of a promise to offer credit card rewards “every damn day.” The profanity is tame by most standards, especially from someone known for using much saltier language in films like “Snakes on a Plane.”
But the commercial sparked an outsized reaction from angry commenters at various websites, including AmericanBanker.com, BankInnovation.net, and credit card discussion forums. Some of those people threatened to close their accounts or stop using their cards. Now Capital One is replacing at least some airings of the profanity-laced ad with a more G-rated version, in which Jackson promises rewards “every single day.”
