Does Capital One Really Hate Deaf People or Do They Just Need to Fix Their System?
I was browsing through my Bloglines feeds for “customer service” and came across this post from The Consumerist.  The title was “Capital One Hates Deaf People”.  The word “hate” is such a strong word to use, so it caught my attention right away.  TDD Logo

Ok, so I get the part about credit cards being evil and all that jazz.  I know myself that banks are not to be trusted.  However, to use the word “hate” is pretty harsh, isn’t it?  Read the post here for the story.  

I agree with one of the commenter, Mike, who says:

“If rampant fraud is behind their "no verification via relay" policy, they should have procedures in place to accommodate legitimate users. They should explain why they are unable to handle your verification through the relay service, and tell you who you need to call or what you need to do to verify your account safely and securely.”

Well, bottom-line is that Capital One (COF) definitely need to address these communication and CRM.  Anyways, let just this be an example and a warning to those companies to have your company in compliance with ADA laws and TDD accessible.

Capitol One has more than just communications problems. In the past six months they have lost my power of attorney, a check that arrived but that was not cashed, and then managed to mail my billling statment to the wrong address that we haven't used in nearly two years. They no longer have my business because they can't seem to file anything or keep track of paperwork. And I ask myself, if they lose faxes what are they doing to the numbers?

I have a similar problem with Bank of America. Their online customer service is just autogenerated blahblah that tells me to CALL THEM, they repeatedly block my designated person from accessing my acct by blocking the passcode I gave her specifically so that she could help me, and will not help me with my acct via my designated speaking person. Their accomodation is zip.
