Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/2023 - received past due Care Credit payment notice and I paid amount {$63.00} immediately. I called the customer service number to ask how to pay and I was informed that my account was closed by Synchrony bank due to XXXX payments that were reversed. XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX I made an extra payment of {$93.00} and the same day, my payment was rejected. I wasn't informed, so I could rectify it. XX/XX/2023 - I made an extra payment of {$250.00} and that payment was rejected. I wasn't informed until I received my bank statement. That payment was resent and accepted. All minimum payments have been paid on time and have never been late. I've received congratulations emails for paying my promotional bills early. Both payments that were reversed were extra payments and as soon as I was notified, I quickly resolved it.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: I had a charge of {$11.00} on my XXXX statement due XX/XX/23 for a purchase made in XXXX I got busy and forgot to pay it on time. I called today to make the payment. At first the phone / computer said I owed {$11.00}. I went online to pay it. There, the balance was stated as {$24.00} : - my purchase {$1100.00} - interest : {$2.00} - late fee : {$1100.00}!!!!!!! How can a company justify DOUBLING a charge in one month? I contacted Lowes and they credited the additional {$1100.00} so in a sense it has been resolved. However my complaint is still valid because double an amount due for being 24 days late on a payment is USURY! When I spoke to an agent of Synchrony Bank ( who handles the credit card for Lowes ), she said this was the normal practice and " understood '' my upset but wasn't going to do anything about it. Of course the agent doesn't make policy. It is the executives of the bank who are at fault.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX on behalf of GE MONEY BANK is attempting to unlawfully collect on a debt. The Reference number is XXXX. The debt in question was discharged in Bankruptcy XXXX case # XXXX which was discharged on XX/XX/XXXX in the state of TX . A letter sent to my home address dated XX/XX/XXXX states that there is money owed and pending legal action was implied by referencing a Judgment that has been entered against me. This statement is false and misleading which is in violation of the FDCPA as there is no debt owed and there is no judgment outstanding for this debt. It is also my understanding that debt collectors are not able to sue on time-barred or out of statute debts. The statute is 4 years in the state of California and the letter states the debt is from XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2023 I had a consultation for XXXX XXXX at the XXXX XXXX XXXX located in XXXX XXXX, Texas. My consultant was named XXXX XXXX. I did a pre-qualification for Care Credit to cover the cost of the procedure I went there to speak about, liposuction. Before I left, I asked what would be done with my prequalified letter information, and she said it would be shredded at the end of the day if I chose not to pay the XXXX $ deposit for the procedure. I did not call back because I did not wish to have the procedure there. She called me that XXXX and I confirmed that I would not be agreeing to do the procedure. Now as I am still looking for a surgeon, Im blocked from receiving credit because of the fraudulent charges on the account I never activated. or received a card for of, XXXX dollars. This fraudster has even gone so far as to make payments for 2 months to keep the account going. I will be pursuing every remedy possible and filing charges against this establishment for fraud as well as going through this process of government notification. The address to this facility is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The Woodlands, TX XXXX United States XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX And XXXX XXXX email is XXXX. This evening XX/XX/2023, I was checking my credit report to see why I couldnt get credit to pay for a procedure I want to move forward with. To find out that someone has decided to use medical credit fraudulently is a shock. The account was opened XX/XX/2023 2023

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/2023 Walgreens, XXXX Tx XXXX I was checking out at the counter, when the Walgreens Associate asked if I would be interested in a Walgreens Card to save more money on my purchases, I said yes, but I didn't want to apply because it would put a hard inquiry on my credit report. The Walgreens Associate picked up the phone by the register and called someone in management, I assumed. He asked if I could apply without a hard inquiry, and I was told that there would be no hard inquiry on my credit report if I didn't qualify. I agreed. I didn't qualify and there is now a hard inquiry from Synchrony Bank, in XXXX.I called Walgreens in XXXX, TX regarding what happened and was told they couldn't help me with the problem that they had caused. I want this inquiry removed from all three credit reporting agencies.
