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: SYNCHRONY BANK/PayPal Credit does not properly investigate disputes and erroneously process chargebacks fraudulently to my account without authorization or true investigation of the original dispute. There are several dubious sellers who uses PayPal inappropriately, receives the merchandise back but refuses to perform the refund. Those companies are : XXXX, original purchase on XX/XX/2022, returned to the merchant upon receipt ; Synchrony Bank received notification of the XXXX tracking number that the merchandise had been sent back but that the merchant refuses to perform the refund and refuses to speak with me the customer about the refund. My experience is that XXXX is a company that lacks integrity. Synchrony Bank still refuses to secure the refund even though the company has received the product back and has refused to refund the {$39.00}. Another dubious company that Synchrony Bank supports is XXXX. The merchandise was sent back, received but XXXX refuses to perform the refund. Even though I have reported this several time to Synchrony Bank, this bank still did a charge back on my account for {$41.00}. XXXX has the merchandise back and refuses to issue the refund and Synchrony Bank for the {$41.00}. XXXX received the merchandise back on XXXX, 2022. Thus Synchrony Bank has refused to issue me the credit for both the {$41.00} and the {$39.00} when both companies have received the merchandise back. Synchrony Bank is fraudulently charging back these amounts on my account. The customer service person seems to tell lies by stating it is being investigated when it is actually being charges back on my account. This is time consuming and very stressful. I am finding that Synchrony Bank has done this several times and refuses to acknowledge the mistakes that they are making. This bank is making erroneous/false charge backs when the sellers actually have received the merchandise back. The process is horrible and is expensive for the consumer as well as for Synchrony Bank itself which appears to be very, very, very unorganized and causes harm to the customer. Both XXXX and XXXX wellness either will not answer the phones or will put me on hold and never come back to the phone. The total refund from both purchases is {$81.00} plus the inconveniences.
