      Worst Company in America

      Round 15: Capital One vs Video Professor

      By Ben Popken, 6:05 PM on Wed Apr 2 2008, 7,385 views

      This is Round 15 in our Worst Company in America contest, Capital One vs Video Professor.

      Capital One's amusing credit card commercials aren't so funny after dealing with their appalling customer service staffed by thugs and gutter snipes.

      Video Professor hooks people on subscription plans, advertising that you can quit any time, then doesn't let you quit and keeps fraudulently billing you. Then when people posted complaints on infomercialscams.com, Video Professor tried to sue them out of existence and also sought the identities of the complaining consumers.

      This is a post in our Worst Company In America 2008 series. The companies nominated for this honor were chosen by you, the readers. Keep track of all the goings on at consumerist.com/tag/worst-company-in-america/
