Who uses 800-955-6600
Capital One publishes this number as its "Credit Card—Collections" line.[1] That means the call is from Capital One itself, the lender that issued the card, not an outside collection agency.
If a payment is late, Capital One will usually call to ask you to pay or to set up a plan. If the account stays unpaid, it can later be charged off, and Capital One lists a separate number for charged-off card accounts.
Is a call from 800-955-6600 a scam?
The number itself belongs to Capital One, but caller ID can be faked, so a familiar number on your screen proves nothing on its own.[2] Scammers copy real company numbers to look genuine.
- Do not give card or bank details to someone who called you.
- Hang up and call Capital One back on a number you find yourself: the number on the back of your Capital One card, or (800) 227-4825.
- A real lender can tell you who the account is with and how much is owed, and will not insist on gift cards, wire transfers or payment apps.[3]

What to do next
If the card is yours and a payment is late, calling back to discuss a payment plan early is usually easier than waiting until the account is charged off.
- This is usually the lender itself, not a collection agency. The federal debt collection rules mainly cover third-party collectors, not the original creditor collecting its own account, but the lender still has to follow its agreement with you and state law.[4]
- Behind on payments? Ask about a hardship or payment plan before the account is charged off. Once it is sold or passed to a collector, you gain the right to a written validation notice; see our debt validation letter guide.

Common questions
Is 800-955-6600 really Capital One?
Yes. Capital One lists 1-800-955-6600 as its credit card collections number. Caller ID can be faked, so if unsure, hang up and call the number on the back of your card.
Why is Capital One calling me from 800-955-6600?
It is the credit card collections line, so the usual reason is a late or missed card payment. Calling back lets you ask about a payment plan.
Is Capital One a debt collector?
Not when it collects its own card accounts. It is the original creditor. If the debt is later sold or sent to a collection agency, that company must send you a written validation notice.
