nglodnig Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Minor point, but I have no way of stopping these statements being posted to me (with the credit card number printed in FULL so I have to shred them) despite repeated requests going back years. So, I rang their telephone banking service and got my postal address changed - to their head office in Nottingham. Of course their (off-shore) operator had no idea - I even asked him if I could put 10 Downing Street down as my address and he said "sure, why not?" ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topt Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Is this a Capital One Mastercard? If so I have one and have been paperless with them for more years than I remember. Strange you have the issue as I thought most financial institutions were trying to get us to go paperless. I think you can turn paper statements off and on on the online portal (I can't use the app)? Also the secure messaging has worked for me in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful. That would almost certainly result in some fraudulent charges on your card... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Boris has already charged a few party kegs but I got that blocked. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nglodnig Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 Update - after sending them so-called "secure messages" which are scanned by a bot and a bland answer posted back - phoned their number, ask the "off-shore" rep who just googles what you say and reads back the answer to "escalate" - talked to someone in the UK. I explained what I did and asked for a confirming email. Technically it's against the terms and conditions but I have been asking this for FOUR YEARS now and was a right pain when my address was in Thailand, useless statements arrived by registered post. Sure, they could cancel my card but as I owe them (quite a lot) of money from balance transfers at a lower interest rate (which is ALL I use the card for) - what are they going to do? Send the baliffs round to their head office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently because I have had my card so long my account is of the"old" type - it can't be changed to paperless. Seems like major rocket science to them (I first asked for it four years ago) or most probably they can't be bothered, it;s not a priority. The responses I get from "secure messaging" seem to have been answered (mostly) by a bot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
