FINANCE CHARGE
Transactions which are not subject to a grace period are assessed finance charges 1) from the date of the transaction or 2) from the date the transaction is processed to your account or 3) from the first calendar day of the current billing period. Additionally, if you did not pay the "New Balance" from the previous billing period in full, finance charges continue to accrue to your unpaid balance until the unpaid balance is paid in full. This means that you may still owe finance charges, even if you pay the entire New Balance indicated on the front of your statement by the next statement closing date, but did not do so for the previous month. Unpaid finance charges are added to the applicable segment of your account. Cash advances (the cash advance segment) and special transfers (if your account includes a special transfer segment) may not avoid finance charges.
Cash Advance, Purchase/Balance Transfer/Other Charges and Special Transfer or Special Purchase Segments (If Your Account Includes a Special Transfer or Special Purchase Segment).
Finance charge is calculated by multiplying the daily balance of each segment of your account (e.g., cash advance, purchase, special transfer, and special purchase) by the corresponding daily periodic rate(s) that has been previously disclosed to you. At the end of each day during the billing period, we apply the daily periodic rate for each segment of your account to the daily balance of each segment. Then at the end of the billing period, we add up the results of these daily calculations to arrive at your periodic finance charge for each segment. We add up the results from each segment to arrive at the total periodic finance charge for your account.
To get the daily balance for each segment of your account, we take the beginning balance for each segment and add any new transactions and any periodic finance charge calculated on the previous day's balance for that segment. We then subtract any payments or credits posted as of that day that are allocated to that segment. This gives us the separate daily balance for each segment of your account. However, if you paid the New Balance shown on your previous statement in full (or if your new balance was zero or a credit amount), new transactions which post to your purchase or special purchase segments are not added to the daily balances.
To calculate your total finance charge, multiply your average daily balance by the daily periodic rate and by the number of days in the billing period. Due to rounding on a daily basis, there may be a slight variance between this calculation and the amount of finance charge actually assessed.
Determining Daily Periodic Rates.
Divide the corresponding Annual Percentage Rate by 365 and round up to the nearest 1/100,000th of 1%, not to exceed the maximum allowed by applicable law. If the daily periodic rates and corresponding Annual Percentage Rates increase, the Finance Charge will increase and your minimum payment may be greater. Refer to the IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES for daily periodic rates and Annual Percentage Rates.
OTHER CHARGES:
Copying Charge: $3.00 for a copy of a Periodic Statement and $2.00 for a copy of a transaction (fee imposed per copy).

Capital One - I know this is an farily easy creditor to get - but they have been changing their business to more bad debt then good.
And they have reporting issue problem - of not showing the complete credit limit on the credit reports to benefit the customers fairly when utilization is being figured into the credit scores. (they do this - because they want to make it harder for other credit card companies to know a consumers CL there fore steal customers away with better offers).
If anyone takes credit from this company then charging up to near credit limit then paying down will help get at least the high credit up for the scores to benefit. Not an easy thing to do, if you get a balance transfer (to yourself, make out a check and pay it back. Or if you buy something and return it to get credit back just to accomplish this means).
