The company recently sent a contract update to cardholders that makes clear it can drop by any time it pleases.
The update specifies that "we may contact you in any manner we choose" and that such contacts can include calls, emails, texts, faxes or a "personal visit."
As if that weren't creepy enough, Cap One says these visits can be "at your home and at your place of employment."
and
"We may modify or suppress caller ID and similar services and identify ourselves on these services in any manner we choose."

Great marketing strategy if you want to throw your company away.
No one's going to want to deal with that.

Looks like they were recently purchased by the NSA.

The Caller ID thing shouldn't be allowed... but there's nothing wrong with them contacting you. O_o My bank has contacted me several times for various issues. One time my cellphone didn't have signal, so they left a voicemail on my work number. They are serving me. It's not like they can enter you home--the article implies this and it's meant to get more views from dumb people. Nor would they visit you unless it's very necessary and they were out of options... as the cost of dispatching someone to your door would be quite expensive to them.
They just updated this to protect them from stupid people filing lawsuits.
Move along, nothing to see here. o/

It really is. I mean, they can use whatever excuses they want and claim they would never use it for anything they shouldn't. But those claims aren't in the legally binding contract, this is.
