According to official records from the New York State Unified Court System, Capital One Bank filed 10,903 debt collection lawsuits against New York consumers in 2025. This staggering number highlights the ongoing, large-scale efforts by major financial institutions to recover alleged consumer debts through New York’s civil court system.
Where Capital One Filed Lawsuits in 2025
Breaking down the data by county reveals how widespread these filings were across the state:
-
Bronx County: 1,303 cases
-
Brooklyn (Kings County): 1,494 cases
-
Nassau County: 1,033 cases
-
Manhattan (New York County): 740 cases
-
Queens County: 1,510 cases
-
Suffolk County: 1,954 cases
In addition to these new filings, Capital One continues to enforce thousands of older judgments obtained in prior years. Many of these actions are pursued through long-standing law firms such as Pressler, Felt & Warshaw, LLP, Zwicker & Associates, P.C., Malen & Associates PC, and Rubin & Rothman LLC.
These firms routinely engage in wage garnishments, bank account restraints, and other post-judgment enforcement tactics. Unfortunately, many consumers are blindsided by these actions—often because they were never properly served with notice of the original lawsuit or judgment.
Your Rights Against Debt Collection Abuses
If you’ve been served with a lawsuit by Capital One Bank or suddenly find your wages or bank accounts frozen, you have important rights under both New York consumer protection laws and the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
Consumers have the right to:
-
Be properly notified before a judgment is entered.
-
Challenge improper service or default judgments.
-
Seek relief from unfair or deceptive collection practices.
