Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: When I log into my account this message shows : " Your account is restricted. You are not able to access this account online. Please contact a Banker at XXXX to change your account status ''. In XXXX/XXXX, I was told the restriction was put on my account due to my attempt to transfer an unavailable amount of funds to an external bank account in XXXX, but I could request to have the restriction lifted. I was told a request would be submitted to the " back office '' for review and it would take 2-3 days, but I could still make deposits to my account. Therefore, I began having portions of my paycheck direct deposited into the account ... without issue. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a message from my HR department that a deposit was returned. I called Synchrony. Neither operator I spoke with, including a supervisor, could tell me why this deposit was returned nor why the restriction was still on my account. They stated they would have to submit another request, again to the " back office '', to lift the restriction and it would take 2-3 days. I stated I would prefer to just close my account, due to the extremely poor communication and results, and have a check sent to me. I was told I could not close my account until the restriction was lifted. After waiting, again 2-3 days for the " back office '' to process my request, there is still a restriction on my account and I can not access my funds through the ATM.

Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: This afternoon I discovered Synchrony had closed all five of the accounts I had with them. I have never been late making payments, never had a payment returned, and never violated the terms. When I contact Synchrony after 4 hours of calling and chatting I was told they closed my accounts and will eventually send me a letter to justify why they did. Doing something then justifying it at a later date is simply unethical and shady.
