I would think a rate could fixed, but still subject to change if the borrower defaults.
Is the Minn AG running for re-election or some other office?

Having dealt with Capital One over my son's credit card (not late, not over limit) they rank right along side of Household Finance as companies not to ever do business with.

That's why it pays to read the pamphlets they send you...most of the penalties are listed there in fine print.

This guy is on some kind of drugs . If you default you are beat !!! Capital 1 has the best rates and you have the responsibility to make the payments as they come due . Another way to comfort the losers in our society who are fed pablum from the government . Time to purge our country of these pain in the a$$es .

I've dealt with Capital One. I hope they get what they have coming. They're a bunch of crooks.

I have cards from Household and Capitol One. I pay on time, and have absolutely no problems with either of them.

The 'huns' are supposed to signify the high rates, which CO claims they don't have. That statement made, they decide to use the CO card to make the purchase, and it stops the 'huns' dead in their tracks.
After the 3rd viewing, it's become tedious advertising.

If MN is going to go after Capital One for this, they're going to have to include almost all credit card company's everywhere. They all do it. I'm a financial analyst and have seen some downright ugly things that credit card companies do to their "clients". Some of which, in my opinion, should be illegal.
Ever heard of two cycle billing? Discover does it. Thats where they charge you not only for the balance you have left at the end of the month but they also charge you for the average balance you had during the month. But hey, they give you 2% of your money back at the end of the year!

If the post office looses your payment, and delivers it a week late, do you get kicked up to the default rate?

A friend of mine HAD, emphasis on past tense, Capitol One as a credit card and said they were one of the worst companies to have. On the other hand they have some funny commercials.
