Issue: Trouble using your card

Subissue: Can't use card to make purchases

Consumer Complaint: I am reaching out to you in regards to a serious issue that I have been experiencing with Synchrony Bank. Despite reaching out to their customer service team multiple times, I have yet to receive a satisfactory resolution to my problem. Therefore, I am now seeking your assistance in this matter. Recently, I received a new credit card from Synchrony Bank with a new account number, ending in XXXX. However, upon logging into my account, I noticed that someone else 's credit card, ending in XXXX, was showing up. This is a major cause for concern as it poses a serious breach of privacy, and it prevents me from using my card as intended. What's more, when the mysterious XXXX card is " charged '' by XXXX, it ends up charging a completely separate account. This only adds to my frustrations and confusion over the matter. While I understand issues can arise with banking and credit card accounts, something of this nature should not be acceptable as a resolution seems nearly impossible to obtain. I have spoken to Synchrony Bank 's customer service team multiple times, but each time, I have been told that this is not an issue on their end, and they lack the knowledge on how to fix it. As a consumer, this is absolutely unacceptable to me. I am urging Synchrony Bank to thoroughly investigate this issue and take immediate action to restore functionality to my account by showing me the correct credit card information. I would appreciate it if you could also investigate this matter and offer your assistance in working towards a resolution. This is a matter of great concern for me, and I firmly believe that it requires immediate attention. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I was told I was applying for a medi-cal contract to pay for dental work. When I was under sedation, in the dentists chair I was told to sign forms for the medi-cal programs and instead they had me signing up for a loan I can't afford and all the work was covered by medi-cal at no cost to me. Why would I need a loan at almost 30 % interest and 30 years to pay off. I'm a XXXX veteran, XXXX XXXX XXXX and can not possibly afford such a loan.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: This concerns my PayPal Credit Account XXXX Synchrony Bank ). I request each month that a portion of my payment be allocated to retire Promotional, Special Financing Purchases. I usually complete this easily via PayPal Credit 's chat function. This month ( XX/XX/2023 ), I chatted on XX/XX/XXXX with instructions regarding how to apply the payment, as I have done for months. I always review this chat call within 2 days of completion to confirm correct allocation of my payment to the corrrect Promotional Purchases. On XX/XX/XXXX I engaged in a new chat on the PayPal Credit site b/c my payment instructions from the XX/XX/XXXX chat were not followed correctly. In the XX/XX/XXXX chat I pointed out the error and the agent stated it would be corrected pursuant to my instructions. In each chat session, I finish with a recap to confirm the instructions are followed. The agent confirmed understanding of my instructions on XX/XX/XXXX. On or around XX/XX/XXXX or XXXX, I confirmed that the payment had been misallocated again. I called PayPal Credit directly at this juncture to correct the errors again. After reviewing my account online on XX/XX/XXXX, I confirmed that the misallocation still existed and further, PayPal Credit actually increased the balance of one of my Promotional Purchases by {$100.00} in its error-filled misallocation of my payment. On XX/XX/XXXX I called again to address the issue. The manager I spoke with stated he could not correct the current allocation ( b/c we had passed into a new billing cycle ) and would put in a request to " review. '' This situation will now cause me to incur over {$120.00} of deferred and accrued interest on the Promotional Purchase that expires in XX/XX/2023. This is a constant problem with PayPal Credit ( Synchrony Bank ) and is now causing me direct financial harm. Due to antiquated legacy systems, Synchrony is not able to correct my account for XXXX to 60 days, and provided no assurances I would not incur the deferred/accrued interest charges, due directly to their errors. No admission of the errors or misallocation were offered and no apology. I am asserting direct financial harm in the range of hundreds of dollars as a result.

Issue: Overdraft, savings, or rewards features

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/ I paid PayPal for the balance of {$39.00} I had on my account. The payment was accepted and confirmed with an confirmation message. However, that payment did not go through and denied by PayPal. After checking it today, on XX/XX/XXXX, PayPal added an additional late fee. I have reasons to believe that PayPal is trying to deny the payment to take additional late fees. I had requested PayPal to respond to my inquiries and waive the most recent late fee applied after PayPal didnt give a reason for denying my payment on XX/XX/ XXXX

Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: Unethical business practice. Unethical company. I had a few cards issues by Synchrony bank, the most recent just in XX/XX/2023. They are now closing all my cards with them, and the letter cited " not paying down my mortgage enough ''. My mortgage is current, every payment not only on time, but EACH payment included extra principle payment. I paid it down more than was scheduled, but this is the reason they gave for closing my cards. I can not pay them off on line now, but must call to make these payments so I don't default on them. Now they've harmed my credit rating, even though I was current with them. They damaged my credit and adversely affected my entire life, even though I WAS CURRENT WITH THEM. I hadn't defaulted on any of these cards, they were all current, but they closed them out and I don't have a valid reason for it.
