If your Capital One deposit account or credit card is currently restricted and you need support from customer service, here's how you can attempt to get your restriction lifted.
Is your account currently restricted?
It’s important to note that Capital One has various account restriction types and account hold types. Depending on the type of hold or restriction on your account, you may have to speak with one or more customer service departments in order to have your account details reviewed.
How to resolve a restriction on your account:
When you need support with a hold or restriction on your Capital One bank account or credit card, we first recommend calling our customer service team to see if they can help resolve the issue over the phone.
You can reach out to the the following customer service numbers for support with your account hold or restriction:

When calling the customer service department, or visiting a Capital One branch or Café for further support, we recommend having your ID and social security card or ITIN number with you in the event additional verification is required.
Get support for account restriction at a branch or Café:
When visiting a Capital One branch or Café for support with your account restriction you will work directly with one of our Ambassadors to try and resolve the issue.
Step 1:
You will check in with an Ambassador and verify your ID for your security. Your Ambassador will ask questions to identify the problem.
Step 2:
The Ambassador will then need to reach out to our Customer Protection team for further support. The customer service agent will pull up your account profile and review further details. (Keep in mind, our customer service agent may need to perform additional verifications if standard verification methods can not be completed.)
Step 3:
Once our customer support team has reviewed the account, they will look into all options to try and resolve your restriction or provide additional details as to why the account is in a restricted status.
Step 4:
If your account restriction can be resolved, the customer service agent will lift the account restriction, and you may continue to bank normally. If more information is needed, you may need to provide additional info via a secure link, such as uploading a photo ID, Social Security card or other requested documentation.
If you upload additional documents, you will receive a case number and the full review will take up to 10 business days.
