Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: I've been using my {$100.00} Amazon credit card through Syncrony Bank and paying it off in full every month. I went to use it today and it was declined, when I went to my account page I found out they'd closed my account, with no warning and no reason given. It's completely inappropriate since I've been paying it off in full every single month, and they gave me no communication whatsoever about the closure.

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: PayPAL is through Synchrony Bank, they close my account because they said that it was at high risk of failure to pay but I always paid my account on time because I don't like late fees. I also got a XXXX XXXX XXXX through them that was XXXX dollars and they took it down to XXXX dollars it is still open. Can they just close your account when you are making on time payments and never late because it is low

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: I didn't have enough funds to cover the {$800.00} payment to PayPal credit card. I made another payment of {$820.00}, {$150.00} and {$410.00}. Because I miscalculated on the {$800.00} payment they are now holding all my funds until XX/XX/XXXX. The {$820.00}, {$150.00} and {$410.00} were taken out of my XXXX checking and given to PayPal credit card. Yet, they refuse to let me have access to my money. This is called theft. If a criminal on the street robbed me of these funds I could call the police and file a complaint. This is why I'm filing this complaint, in the hope, that CFPB can resolve this issue and I can have access to the {$1300.00} that I deposited into PayPal credit card. The additional problem is this. I have a credit limit of {$900.00}, so PayPal won't be able to put {$1300.00} onto my card, unless the give me an increase. What a mess they've created for me.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2022, I was on the chat with a customer service representative, about a payment. I wanted to close my account and he said that if I paid it in full that I would avoid interest charges. I paid in full in the amount of {$590.00} and closed the account. However a smaller amount was credited to my account and the company said I still owed more. I disputed this with a supervisor named XXXX and he said he would take care of it and the amount would be gone and back to {$0.00}. The same thing happened and only a smaller amount was credited to my account again. I disputed it and the same thing. Meanwhile I have been accruing interest charges and late fees. When I tried to dispute this again I was told it would be looked into. I then get a letter from a debt collection agency. I called Synchrony Bank again to dispute. Conveniently ever since it went to a collection agency, Synchrony Bank can not find a whole lot of information regarding my account. A letter came to me in the mail saying they need more information about the payment I made which I sent a bank statement. Another letter came in the mail saying they could not locate the payment based on information I provided which is why I am filing a complaint. I have been dealing with them for too long with no results. One of the statements attached will show that only a part of my original payment was credited and not the full amount. The other statements show past due amounts and interest fees that were accrued since said payment. I also included the bank statement that I sent to them showing that I paid in full.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: Synchrony Bank which manages my Lowe 's store credit card has arbitrarily forced customers to go paperless for billing and if a customer does not they will charge a {$1.00} fee a month to receive paper bills. I fell like this is unfair to those of us that use paper statements to do our home budget. There is no appeal process or way to be " grandfathered '' in to receiving paper statements. This is not right and I feel unfair to the consumer. Is this illegal? Can they do this?

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I brought my dog to XXXX XXXX, CA. The total bill was {$810.00}. I asked the cashier to put it under the promotional plan on my Care Credit Card. She had requested that I send it through the credit card terminal. After I realized that it was different from how I remembered promotional/payment plans are processed and requested the cashier to confirm, the cashier asked me to press the red button to cancel the transaction. Unfortunately, the cancellation was not going through. She thought that the terminal may have frozen. She then processed the payment under the promotional/payment plan on a different system. This is the one I signed. Right before leaving the XXXX branch, I checked my Care Credit account. I saw I had been double charged. The cashier said that one of the charges ( one processed through the terminal ) would drop. I filed a dispute with Care Credit. They reversed the charge effective XX/XX/XXXX, pending investigation. On XX/XX/XXXX, the {$810.00} reversed on XX/XX/XXXX was rebilled to the card. Around XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX from XXXX XXXX and I spoke with a XXXX Representative.
