Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was paid

Consumer Complaint: My complaint has two parts : 1. I found that I am a member of Amazon Prime. even though I don't make enough purchases on Amazon to justify spending for this service. I canceled my Prime membership about one month ago. 2. I have an Amazon credit card from Synchrony Bank that I used for purchases about once or twice since Synchrony claimed that I would get a discount by doing so. I then began receiving requests for payment, which I expected. I responded each time by paying in full. I stopped using the credit card when I noticed that monthly requests for payments continued, even many months afterward. The amounts appeared to be somewhat arbitrary, ranging from 35 to 50 dollars monthly. I finally called Synchrony Bank on XX/XX/XXXX to request an explanation. They responded that the charges were for Prime membership and for interest charges. Ideally, I would like to receive a refund for the amount that I overpaid and that these monthly requests stop.
