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: I opened a dispute through Synchrony Bank on XX/XX/XXXX, They said it would take unto 60 days to contact Ashley Furniture store to investigate. After the time passed, on XX/XX/XXXX I see a balance due with no letter or notification from Synchrony bank. Synchrony has failed to mail or emailed a resolution letter of their investigation that I opened XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX synchrony has failed to do a thorough investigation. if a proper investigation was done synchrony would have realized that Ashley made a mistake, a typo and so they sent me the wrong item, Ashely sent to my HOME Item : XXXX INSTEAD of Item : XXXX. I DID NOT authorize or approved for item Item : XXXX to be sent to my home. Cant you not see the typo Ashely made??? On XX/XX/XXXX I filed a dispute with Synchrony bank. I told Synchrony that Ashley store furniture has failed to provide me with the item I had originally purchased. They delivered the wrong item,. I was told by synchrony it would take up to 60 days for a resolution. Since Ashely couldn't get together my order correctly I requested a cancellation of everything ( which was only 1 queen bed and they have failed to cancel. I should not be responsible for an item I didn't purchase or approved. .I went to store located in XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I purchased a bed on display, called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX bed Item : XXXX ( ( which included storage ) as seen on their display model. Instead ASHLEY SENT the WRONG item. I received XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX. not the Upholstered version. AS you can easily see ASHELY made a mistake, they made a typo on my order, they entered Item : XXXX INSTEAD of Item : XXXX Therefore, I? d like to request a proper reasonable instigation, on said dispute said transaction, I? m terribly dissatisfied with Synchrony handling my case. I should in no way be responsable or pay for item that I didnt order or approve or received. Briefly, I? d like for synchrony to please correct the error on my account promptly. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems

Subissue: Problem with customer service

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX//23 a payment of {$1000.00} was withdrawn from my account. This was meant to be {$100.00}. I contacted Synchrony the following day to request a refund less the XXXX dollars as this was an incorrect overpayment. I was unable to stop payment with my bank as it was already posted once I realized the error. I was on the phone with Synchrony for over an hour speaking to a rep, attempting to get resolution. I was told that the turn around time was XXXX weeks to get my money back and only via physical check. I asked for a supervisor and held in the ensuing hour with no one coming on the line. Ultimately i asked the original rep to process my request. It's now been over XXXX days and I do not see the funds dispersed from my account, which the rep said would occur and would confirm the funds had been distributed. Even if the funds are distributed at this point, they are sent regular mail and I would not receive them within the original timeframe provided. This is the second month in a row a payment issue has occurred, the first i was able to resolve directly with my bank. These are vital funds I need to pay my living expenses, including health insurance and food to feed myself and Young son. Its unacceptable to have no easy route to resolve this without very long hold times and to not receive the funds at all. Secondly, I do not believe using their website on a mobile phone is user friendly and things are not clear enough to avoid an error with payment. I'm no longer confident in using this when making payments with them anymore.

Issue: Trouble using your card

Subissue: Can't use card to make purchases

Consumer Complaint: I got a JCPENNY Credit Card. The store employees took merchandise and charged it to my credit card and, then, had its partner in crime ( XXXX Bank ) falsely document that I had this fake debt and sent me to collection-agencies-credit bureaus to damage my credit. This was because I refused to be blackmailed and give them money to delete the fake debt. Then, I contacted the newspapers and they deleted the fake debt ; but left the interest and fees on my credit card.
