Consumer Complaint: In XXXX XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX I ordered XXXX tires ( big items ) from XXXX using Paypal credit by Synchrony Bank XXXX The seller used a glitch on the system tricking the tracking number to make it look like it was delivered to my address. The tracking showed that the seller was in New York and my mailing address is in California. On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX ( XXXX hours after my initial order ) the seller canceled the delivery at the same time it showed that the items were delivered to my front XXXX attached a picture that shows the time line of the item being in NY at XXXX am XX/XX/XXXX then got canceled at XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and magically appear at my front porch at the same time which is impossible. I tried to reason with XXXX but wasnt success, so I filed a dispute with Synchrony Bank. This voided my resolution with XXXX and they direct me to deal with the bank. Supportively, Synchrony should protect my interest since I never received that order. However I filed disputed 3 times and got denied all XXXX. I faxed them the evidence that I got in contact with XXXX to confirm that they never get that package nor deliver to me. The complaint that I filed against XXXX via BBB case number # XXXX showing XXXX admitted that the seller tried to send media product which not sufficient for the XXXX tires that I ordered.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem with fees or penalties

Consumer Complaint: I am a long time XXXX customer, and opened a promotional rate XXXX XXXX XXXX ( ending in XXXX ) with them in XXXX. I funded the account immediately by transferring funds from my savings account. Shortly after I opened it, and still within the funding period that they indicated for the account, they increased the rate on this term XXXX. I requested that they apply the new higher rate to my account since it changed within the funding period. This only seems fair and right, and this was once their policy. I got the most frustrating runaround on this request, and eventually was denied or invited to close it with a penalty. I appealed this decision and asked for the matter to be escalated. Although I received numerous emails that said the matter was referred to the appropriate department and I would hear from them, I was never called or written back. All of my inquiries are documented within their secured email service. I continued to follow-up on this and most recently I was able to speak to a Supervisor XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who told me that my request for a rate change or penalty free withdrawal would not be honored. He suggested that I withdraw WITH PENALTY & reinvest a current rate, and calculated that I would actually be a little bit ahead in total earnings if I did so. Really? Nice interest expense back in XXXX 's pocket! An underlying problem is that XXXX was constantly escalating rates while heavily promoting their " XXXX XXXX 's '', deceptively ( with advertising language like " hurry this rate won't last! '' ) locking depositors into rates below what XXXX knew they would be increasing in XXXX weeks. I think this was an abuse of the consumer and a very bad faith practice by XXXX. But to my claim, after all of the personal time & frustration I experienced from this and all of XXXX 's broken promises and lack of care addressing my issue, I asked XXXX XXXX if he would discuss my matter with a higher authority ; I wanted to close that XXXX with no penalty and agreed to simply deposit it back into my Savings account. He said he didn't think that would happen, but said he understood and agreed to make the case for me and call me back the next week. It has been XXXX weeks now and I have not heard from him. I called and left a message that has not been returned. Once again, XXXX breaking promises to customers and providing awful service.
