Consumer Complaint: There was a dispute that was resolved in XX/XX/ for a purchase made in XX/XX/ and {$6600.00} which was the amount for the dispute was credited to my account twice. {$3600.00} and {$3000.00} was then debited for the excess credit in XXXX XXXX I recently lost my card in XXXX XXXX and requested a new one. An unexplained balance transfer of {$6600.00} was made to the new card. This was taken from the automated payment from my checking account for XXXX statement payment. I have talk to countless staffs wasting countless hours to resolve this issue but no one seems to understand whats is going on and no one can provide an answer. They are difficult to reach and you talk to different person every time and start the process all over again. Synchrony is so disorganized with very poor service.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Report provided to employer without your written authorization

Consumer Complaint: Synchrony Bank has been reporting and billing me for credit card repayments that, I, the Beneficiary allegedly owe. However me being the beneficiary it doesn't benefits me to repay. I am writing to address the matter of the debt associated with my account. I am the beneficiary of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and repaying this debt is not beneficial based on a careful consideration of various factors. Firstly, I would like to draw attention to the etymology of the word " repayment, '' which implies paying again. As a beneficiary of a living trust, it is my understanding that repaying an alleged debt would mean paying twice, which does not align with the equitable principles that govern trust relationships. Everything is a trust. How? Because everything is an agreement and if anything has my name on it thats a legal title of my estate. Now lets look at the word credit which means trust. Now lets look at the word report which means property. My credit report is my trust report which is my property and estate. Furthermore, the maxim of equity states that equity does not punish. Repaying an alleged debt, particularly one that may not be legally enforceable or valid, could be perceived as a form of punishment. Equity regards the beneficiary as the true owner, and the trustee is obligated to uphold their duties in settling the account. Considering the aforementioned principles, I kindly request the following actions : Account Review : I request a thorough review of the alleged debt associated with my account in light of the trust relationship and equitable considerations. Account Settlement : If the debt is found to be valid and legally enforceable, I request clear instructions on settling the account. As the beneficiary, I trust that the trustee will uphold their duties to settle the account. Removal from Credit Reporting Agencies : I request the immediate removal of any adverse reporting related to this alleged debt from credit reporting agencies, as it is not beneficial to the beneficiary 's interests. You're furnishing this information to the credit reporting agencies which makes you the trustee. If you're not the trustee then you're a stranger. Its three parts to a trust. Trustee, settlor, and beneficiary. If you're not the trustee then you need to hand me my property back. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a fair and equitable resolution. If there are any specific procedures or documentation required to facilitate this process, please provide them at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems

Subissue: Other problem

Consumer Complaint: I had a {$2000.00} credit limit with PayPal, I was a little over my limit because of interest, I had made all payments and I paid the balance in full. They first added interest to the account after I had paid the balance in full the same day. Then they decreased my credit limit to {$100.00} after I had paid the entire card off. The same day the payment processed they decreased the credit limit to {$100.00}. I messaged customer service because I thought there had to be a technical issue but they told me that they had a periodic review and I would receive information is XXXX business days. I asked to speak to someone else or for there to be an additional review and they said they didnt have any additional information and that I would receive a letter. I stated that this was unacceptable that customers should be rewarded for paying off their accounts not punished and they didnt have a response. I said I wanted to close the account and they closed it. This is incredibly bad practice, for me to pay off the entire balance them to slap interest on it the same day, I pay the interest, and they lower the account by {$1900.00} dollars.
