~Robert's review of Capital One customer service
GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's Capital One customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~Robert: Agent kept me waiting for ** minutes. Agent's garbled responses were not understandable, and I'm a college professor who grasps concepts easily. I repeatedly asked for clarity, but just got more nonsensical verbiage. "Mike" is a poor candidate for a chat agent, probably untrained. I gave up after an hour and requested a supervisor or opportunity to express my frustration in some official way. Agent was reluctant to provide that opportunity, but the chat was assumed *perhaps* by a 'supervisor' named Conrad. I still have no understandable answer to my rather simple question, because my focus switched from a solution to my frustration with the agent.
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting Capital One. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a Capital One problem?
~Robert: I'd give them a three out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~Robert: I'd give them a four out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about Capital One's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~Robert: For that I would say one out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other Capital One customers?
~Robert: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for Capital One to know who you are.
