<p>Here&#8217;s one of Capital One&#8217;s catchy ads featuring Alec Baldwin. The ad wasn&#8217;t deceptive, but apparently the bank was benefiting from other <a href="http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/07/18/consumer-watchdog-fines-capital-one-for-deceptive-credit-card-practices/?hp" target="_blank">problematic business practices</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>The nation’s consumer watchdog on Wednesday delivered its first enforcement action against the financial industry, fining Capital One for pressuring and misleading more than two million credit card customers.</p>
<p>Capital One, one of the nation’s biggest banks and credit card lenders, agreed to pay $210 million to resolve a pair of regulatory cases, the latest legal setback for the financial industry.</p>
<p>The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Wall Street’s newest regulator, accused Capital One of “deceptive marketing tactics.” The credit card company — which is known for its catchy television ads, asking “what’s in your wallet” — received a regulatory rebuke for misleading card customers into buying unnecessary products like payment protection and credit monitoring, according to the consumer agency.</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s nice to see someone looking out for the consumer . . . finally.</p>
