Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: Company closed my credit card account without any warning... I was told by company that reason was due to return payment in the last to bills... I was told that, that is specified in the terms and conditions ... As I verified the terms and conditions, it doesnt specifies that the account can be closed due to that... The only reference of it in the document, is the part says " We may close your account at any time, for any reason. " ... I consider that clause to be abiguous and can be use as excuse for reason that can be absurd or even unnethical, in my opinion ....

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: Synchrony Bank continuously posted payments to my JC Penney account in error. The payments apparently belonged to a different account number and Cardholder name. The Payments applied to my account in error are as follows : XX/XX/XXXX - {$1000.00} acct XXXX ending in XXXX was returned " payment not authorized '' XX/XX/XXXX - {$1300.00} acct XXXX ending in XXXX was returned " acct closed '' XX/XX/XXXX - {$1900.00} acct XXXX ending in XXXX was returned " acct closed '' I reported these payments were not issued by me and not my financial institution, they sent a letter of apology for the payment on XX/XX/XXXX posted to my acct in error. I received a following letter stating my acct was closed because of these payments. Two of these payments are from the acct number they stated was posted in error. The balance is also greater than i would have previously charged. I have asked for copies of these checks so i can pursue possible fraud charges, i have also asked for location of delivery or purchases for the items charged. Jc Penney and Synchrony Bank have not assisted in this endeavor at all, but they did manage to close my account because of THEIR ERROR and failure to protect THE CONSUMER from their own Failed processes. Why did Synchrony Bank send a letter of apology for posting a check to my acct in error and then use it as an excuse to close the account.. Synchrony Bank apparently has a history of doing this very same thing and I will not accept this as the norm. I want a SINCERE Letter of Apology and my Account Reinstated as it should have NEVER been closed.
