Is there a Federal or State of California agency to report complaints against Credit Card companies?

My credit card company (Capital One) has incorrectly charged me late fees. I have tried to discuss with them, but they are inflexible -- basically, it's "do what we say, or we'll ruin your credit". Is there a State (California) or Federal Agency that oversees credit cards companies and handles consumer complaints?


you can file a complaint with the FTC about a credit card company go to the link below

Credit card complaints authority?

Can anybody tell me who i would need to register a complaint with about my capital 1 credit card (apart from capital1 customer services) as they are harrassing me with 3-8 phone calls a day and have called members of my family liars before hanging up on them.


There are set procedures to go through before you can complain direct to the FSA.
Firstly, if the calls are due to you owing money, then you must address the issue and try to resolve by ways of repayment plans, possibly contacting the Citizens Advice office for exactly how to do this to protect yourself.
If its sales pitches, then you need to lodge a formal complaint in writing to their headoffice, keep copies of all correspondence, keep you complaint clear and concise and only place the truth into the letters, keep a diary of the calls, this would be a good idea in both circumstances anyway, as if you do owe money on the card, then they can be called to task for harrassment, normally chasers for payment are in writing to protect them as well.....

Once you have gone through their own stated complaints procedures and the issue is still not resolved, then you are free to take the matter to the FSA, this is why I say to keep all copies of all correspondence

Levin: GAO Report on Credit Card Debt Collection Problems Highlights Need for ...

[PDF] was requested in 2008 by Levin, then-Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., former ranking minority member, and Sen. Claire McCaskill, D- Mo. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., current ranking minority member, joined in requesting the report this year.

“With the economy in crisis and many people struggling to pay their bills, debt collectors have responded by becoming more aggressive,” said Levin. “The Federal Trade Commission receives more complaints about the debt collection industry than any other industry, logging in about 79,000 complaints on third-party debt collectors last year, which is almost 19 percent of all of the complaints it received. Ongoing abusive practices include trying to collect debt that isn’t owed or is beyond the statute of limitations, making harassing phone calls, threatening to make arrests that the debt collector has no authority to make, and collecting debt discharged in bankruptcy.”
