Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: This complaint is regarding all three accounts with Synchrony Bank : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, and Synchrony Home. XXXX and Home had limits of over {$1000.00} and Mattress was {$750.00}. I got these cards to assist with repairing my credit report. I paid these accounts on time. However, during the pandemic, credit card companies started lowering balanceswhich wasnt fair to consumerswhich caused a snowball effect to those of us in the XXXX XXXX XXXX. The lowering of balances negatively impacted my credit score which caused Synchrony to lower balances further and eventually closing, XXXX XXXX, account. All of this despite timely payments and a complete paying off all three accounts in XXXX of XXXX.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card

Consumer Complaint: I accidentally paid my credit card twice, and I called them to let them know. I was paying the full balance as of XX/XX/XXXX and balance should've been {$0.00}. I called them to notify them that I accidentally pressed pay twice and they said I have to call my bank after the charge is made. When I saw it on my bank statement, I checked my credit card and found they credited the extra charge to my account. The problem was, that the {$3100.00} they should've credited, was now, {$2400.00}! I checked my purchases that I made last night, and they added up to about {$270.00}. How could my balance that was credited to my account be {$2400.00}? I tried to check my statements, There aren't any! They just show the charges, but I feel that based on my charges and payments, I may have been overcharged since I've owned this card. I don't want to use this credit card anymore. They are dishonest.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was paid

Consumer Complaint: I continue to receive statements from my Synchrony-Care Credit despite the account being closed and paid in full as of XX/XX/XXXX. I have a statement, closing date of XX/XX/XXXX, stating there is a balance of {$4000.00}, including late fees. I have attached a copy of the statement and a copy of a letter from XXXX XXXX, Senior Specialist with Synchrony Bank 's Corporate Consumer Relations. This letter is dated XX/XX/XXXX and is her response to my first CFPB complaint, Case # XXXX. In this letter she acknowledges that the account has been paid in full, but she also notes that any statements I receive were done during the account settlement being processed. Why am I still receiving statements if the account has been processed?

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems

Subissue: Other problem

Consumer Complaint: 1. Synchrony Bank is illegally trying to make 2 MC credit cards into general-purpose credit card store cards like Lowes or XXXX XXXX XXXX 2. Today 's date, XX/XX/2023. I checked my available credit on my Sam 's Club MasterCard. I sent in a payment of {$700.00}, but I only had the available credit of XXXX available on the card when I looked up it online, the XXXX Dollar payment has got there. The available credit was wrong and the available cash was wrong also I called the XXXX number of Synchrony Bank ( Sam Club ) and then they just released the hold with no reason at all. Then my available credit jumped up to {$800.00}. But the available cash stayed the same and I was not given a good reason why there was a hold on my available credit I also paid a bill, and a Synchrony Bank credit card ( Walgreens ) while online the web page asked me to use another checking account to make a payment. both these cards Sam and Walgreens which are under Synchrony Bank are trying to tell me how, when, and when to spend my money. And when I speak to them on the phone, Im not going to pretend to be happy about it.

Issue: False statements or representation

Subissue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Consumer Complaint: I bought a warranty plan for my hot water heater, that was supposed to cover product replacement and installation. the water heater started leaking and Lowe 's told me, that they could not find a service provider in my area to install or fix the heater. They paid for the new hot water heater with a Lowe 's card {$620.00} which was {$10.00} short for the newer model after finally getting back to me after 2 weeks and water running in the tenants home. They sent me a second card with the wrong name and I had to pay {$800.00} plus new hoses for installation out of pocket. This whole ordeal took 1month, during which the water kept running into the house. This can be validated by XXXX XXXX, a manager at a Arizona XXXX 's who did her best to help us for more than an hour.
