Two of my credit cards got gobbled up by Capitol One and they have both become headaches.
I’m closing them and finding somebody else.

CapOne also runs a bunch of private label financing arms for other companies. They issue credit in the UK and Canada as well as the US; you may want to see some of what they do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_One

I thank the Good Lord on a regular basis that credit is something I have been able to avoid.

That’s something like half the sentient adults in the country. Must have been anyone who had applied for credit with them over a long period of time.

I'd had a usaa credit card since the 80's, no problem. they sent me the new "high security" chip card, they've replaced it 4 times due to fraudulent charges.

100 million applying for credit. In a country of 300 million. Nope. Lying liars.

These data farms traffic in your personal data including your social security number.

I’m not seeking new lines of credit but the Equifax hack exposed my information.

Scumbag companies are as careless as Hillary Clinton when it comes to secretive information they are too incompetent to handle.

“Capital One says it believes that it is unlikely that the information was used for fraud , but it will continue to investigate.”

Dumb statement of the week.
