Public response rate

How CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION's complaints were resolved this week:

"Public response rate" counts only complaints where CFPB asked the company to respond publicly, and measures how often it said something substantive instead of declining to comment — see How it works.

Complaints from Older American / Servicemember consumers

13.4% of CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION's complaints this week were self-tagged by the consumer as coming from an Older American and/or Servicemember household (category average this week: 16.5%). This reflects who is filing complaints, not a finding about CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION's conduct toward these consumers — see How it works.

What customers are saying

500 narratives, 2026-06-02 to 2026-07-01 (narrative text lags ~70 days behind the base complaint record — see How it works). Word size = relative frequency (square-root scaled, so no single word dominates).

33.4% of these narratives mention a fraud/scam-related word ("fraud", "scam", "unauthorized", "stolen", "identity theft", "phishing") — a keyword signal in consumers' own words, not a confirmed fraud finding by CFPB or CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION.
