Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

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

Consumer Complaint: I learned about the fraudulent transaction when I received a bill in the mail from Synchrony Bank. I thought this credit line/credit card was closed when it was paid off four years ago. I reached out to Synchrony to file a fraud investigation. They were very unprofessional, transferred my call many times and then disconnected the line. After several attempts, I learned someone went into XXXX XXXX XXXX in the XXXX, NY and made a purchase for my max credit line of {$11000.00}. The person showed a photo ID and a XXXX credit card. I informed Synchrony that I do not have a XXXX credit card ( something that can be easily verified through my credit report ) and that I was no where near the XXXX, NY on XX/XX/2022. I further explained to Synchrony that I was working for my employer, had a swim session for my son, and a dentist appointment that day. Three different places that can validate my location in XXXX New Jersey. After months of gross negligence and failure to properly handle my case I filed a police report. The police report was filed on XX/XX/2022 with the XXXX XXXX Police Department. Case # : XXXX

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: Hey there, I have a Care Credit card from Synchrony bank and I recently started using it for my pet 's vet bills. I was going to pay off the full balance recently, however, I looked over the activity to verify everything was there. I noticed there was a " Card Security '' fee that was charged 6 times that ranged from XXXX dollars. The total from this charge was around XXXX. I do not remember signing up for card security as this card was set up in XXXX of 2014. As a general rule, I never opt in for the " Card Security '' that credit cards offer. I tried calling to cancel however, the phone number on the charge would not answer. I then tried calling the Synchrony credit customer service and they could not verify my address from 2014 when I listed all my addresses and phone number. They said they would escalate the issue and have someone call me back in a couple days but no one has reached out.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: The lender must file Form 1099-C and send you a copy if the amount of debt canceled if debit is XXXX or more and the lender is a financial institution, credit union , federal government agency, or other applicable entity as discussed earlier in chapter 1. The above paragraph is taken directly from the IRS 2021 publication. SEND ME MY FORM 1099-C that you should have sent when you filled the account as canceled debt! SYNCB you are furnishing inaccurate and incorrect information to the consumer reporting agencies. As Defined by The IRS Even if you didnt receive a form 1099-C, you must report canceled debit as gross income on your tax return. The IRS clearly defines a charge off as Gross or Ordinary income. INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes your reporting of this account inaccurate! You have no permissible purpose to furnish this information on my consumer report! By Definition The IRS clearly says a Cancelled or Charge off is income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate!
