Capital One bailout bio
Capital One Financial is a financial services company whose products and services include consumer and commercial banking and credit card services, and mortgage and other financial services, including auto loans. According to Fortune 500’s annual ranking for 2008, Capital One Financial is the seventh largest commercial bank in the U.S. and the 130th largest overall U.S. corporation.
As one of the country’s largest credit card companies, Capital One Financial recently joined forces with other such financial entities to ask the federal government to construct a consumer credit card debt forgiveness program to help stem the tide of losses due to unpaid credit card debt. That request was denied. These losses are affecting the earnings of credit card companies, and helping to constrict the extension of consumer credit. This constriction is particularly troublesome for small businesses, as lending is curtailed to help banks cover the losses on defaulted credit card payments.

Capital One Bank is taking me to court for a default account. Any input as to how I can use the 3.56 billon bailout as a defence. My thoughts and arguement is that my Federal Bailout came to my aid, not Cap. One. Any thoughts? I’d really need someones input that knows the whole story. Thanks, Tom Warmoth
