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: I called a hospital on XX/XX/2023 to pay my up front portion of {$3200.00} for a procedure. I tried my Care Credit ( Synchrony Bank ) card, to see if I was eligible for any payment plans. Found out I was not, so the hospital voided the transaction. I paid the {$3200.00} with another credit card on XX/XX/XXXX. I received an email update on my Care Credit ( Synchrony Bank ) card that indicated I had a balance of {$3200.00}. The hospital has no recorded of the {$3200.00} from XX/XX/2023 on my account, only the transaction from XX/XX/2023. I have tried a couple of times to dispute the charge of {$3200.00} on my Care Credit ( Synchrony Bank ) card, including providing all records from my hospital account, showing there is no charge on XX/XX/2023. So far Care Credit ( Synchrony Bank ) card has not credited my account for the amount of {$3200.00}. I have tried several times to get updates via Synchrony Bank 's online customer service portal, but I can not get any information. I have tried several times to call their customer service number, but am told the disputes group does not take phone calls. So, I can not get a proper update on the status of my dispute.

Issue: Trouble using your card

Subissue: Can't use card to make purchases

Consumer Complaint: On Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX, I attempted to use my Care Credit card at XXXX for a purchase of about {$32.00}. The card was repeatedly declined and the cashier informed me her pc was not giving a denial reason. I logged into my account, and it showed I had a payment due, but {$100.00} was still available to use. I called Care Credit customer setvice, and the first employee explained there was a hold on my card for the overdue payment of {$30.00}. I asked why it showed my card had {$100.00} available to use online, but she could not explain why, just kept repeating I had to make a payment. I asked to speak to a supervisor because I could not make a payment until the next week, and the associate repeated she could not release the hold. The supervisor stated I have been a customer since XXXX, with no record of a late payment, and additional principal payments made toward my balance this year. Regardless, their policy has XXXX exceptions and she refused to assist in any way. I told her to schedule a payment for my full balance and to close my card next week. CareCredit refused to help a customer of 8 years to buy medicine at XXXX in the amount of of {$32.00}, because of a {$30.00} payment that was 8 days overdue. Supervisor showed no interest in saving the account. Good riddance.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, I made a purchase at Ashley Furniture XXXX XXXX, financing {$1800.00} ; 1-year same as cash, minimum monthly due of {$65.00} by the XXXX of the month, first payment due XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. ( Financing provided through Synchrony Bank ). The following paid dates are the dates payments were credited to my account : XX/XX/XXXX Stmt paid XXXX ( 10 days early ) ; XX/XX/XXXX Stmt paid XXXX ( 8 days early ) ; XX/XX/XXXX Stmt paid XX/XX/XXXX ( 7 days early ) ; XX/XX/XXXX Stmt paid XXXX ( 14 days early ) ; XX/XX/XXXX Stmt paid XXXX ( 19 days early ) ; XX/XX/XXXX Stmt paid XXXX ( 38 days early ) ; XX/XX/XXXX Stmt paid XXXX ( 26 days early ) ; XX/XX/XXXX was paid XXXX ( 25 days early ) ; and XXXX Stmt, final payment, was paid XXXX ( 31 days early ). ALL of my monthly payments were paid EARLY, the amount financed was paid off in 8 months ( 4 months early ), yet Synchrony has charged me monthly {$30.00} financing fees since XX/XX/XXXX. Phone call & posting this info to my online account has been to no avail. Synchrony Bank refuses to address the invalid financing fees, which make up the so called balance due ; and they keep charging these invalid fees. Apparently, Synchrony Bank has an unscrupulous agenda, and they aren't budging.

Issue: Closing an account

Subissue: Fees charged for closing account

Consumer Complaint: I signed up for a XXXX through the bank. They were pulling money from the account from another institution. They said it could take up to 30 days, and didn't give me a timeline. By what they stated was the law, I had 7 days to close it after funding. Rates drastically changed as I was waiting some time for it to fund, and I received a letter in the mail dated the XXXX saying it was finally funded. The post office didn't deliver the letter ( as I would think they would know ) until after the window. I called to close to reopen another account with the current rate, and they said I was " one day too late ''. I asked to speak to management, and " there was no manager available ''. I asked for a follow up call- no one ever called me. This was after the time before I sat on hold for multiple hours. I filed a XXXX complaint- never heard back after that. Now, I am concerned about my money even being at this bank considering the difficulty with communication.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Hello, I'm having an Issue with PayPal Reporting Policy. I opened an account with Paypal on XX/XX/23. I made a purchase for {$69.00}. On XX/XX/23 I was notified by XXXX that a new account has been added to my report and I have a Balance of {$69.00}. Few Issues with this. 1.The billing period has not ended ; I haven't received a statement, and when I called Paypal I was told that my statement period will end on XX/XX/23 and my balance will be due at the end of XXXX. So why has paypal notified the credit bureaus of my balance before notifying me? 2. I called and spoke with a supervisor to try to get paypal to correct their statement however, the Supervisor I spoke with tried to justify what paypal has done. paypal needs to correct that statement they have made to the credit bureaus ; XXXX should have never reported a balance without notifying the consumer of their balance first!
