Capital One To Make House Calls

Credit card issuer Capital One isn't shy about getting into customers' faces. The company recently sent a contract update to cardholders that makes clear it can drop by any time it pleases.
The update specifies that "we may contact you in any manner we choose" and that such contacts can include calls, emails, texts, faxes or a "personal visit."

 

As if that weren't creepy enough, Cap One says these visits can be "at your home and at your place of employment.

This opens up a can of worms. Will there be profiling? Will they avoid low income neighborhoods full of tough guys and try to intimidate middle class mothers? That is what this is about, intimidation. This is why I do not own a credit card. I also don't have a lot of stuff, to each their own.

I'll open my door with 95lbs German shepherd on leash and AR15 on my chest and with Ukrainian assent I will say "what do you need?"

Turns out it has always been in the small print but just now was pointed out. Seems the LA Times decided to turn it into a social media firestorm. They just use the same small print on all their secured loans and that really is for debt collection for vehicles, boats, etc which I get. Looks like they are changing the small print for the card owner terms because they have never intended that for their card holders.

The rules sent to cardholders are the same as those sent to anyone who buys sports vehicles, such as jet skis or snow mobiles, through a secured loan from the bank. If those buyers don't pay off their loans, Capital One (COF, Fortune 500) said, "as a last resort, we may go to a customer's home after appropriate notification if it becomes necessary to repossess the sports vehicle."

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
