Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: Synchrony bank closed all my cards without notice. I have paid on time, never been late, and have not done any transactions that would have been suspicious. My credit report score has gone up over the last month. Yet, they won't tell me why they closed my accounts. There is no valid reason.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: On the XXXX of XXXX I made a {$77.00} payment to synchrony bank from my wifes back account before the due date of XX/XX/XXXX which was accepted, however my wifes bank account was overdrawn and denied the payment, so I was immediately charged a late fee of {$44.00} as well as a {$56.00} interest charge which then immediately put me {$45.00} into minus credit, and my next minimum payment is now {$190.00}. My account basically set me up to fail, I wasnt contacted that my payment had been denied and paid it in good faith. Whats worse is they started calling and emailing me constantly about it within a couple of days. Ive been struggling with making payments with this account for a while and on my account page is a questionnaire about closing the account and making payments. I filled out the questionnaire and got denied, instead referred me to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX? I filled it in using different options but its always denied. They trick you into thinking theres assistance but in reality they dont want to close your account. They basically want me to be in debt.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I applied for a XXXX mortgage and was informed by the underwriter that a conflicted error ( statement posted ) had occur in the credit reporting. I disputed the mentioned account, and the dispute was resolved, and payment was made to put the account at a XXXX balance of {$500.00} in XXXX. The entry for the tradeline shows that I have a dispute with the PAID ACCOUNT. I have contacted the creditor and the credit bureau to get the statement removed from the report by letter on XX/XX/XXXX. I also attempted to call during the same time period but to no avail. This statement is causing grave concern in getting the approval for the mortgage. I did not DISPUTE this account after making the payment, and am asking the statement to be removed.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Charged too much interest

Consumer Complaint: on my statement closing date of XX/XX/XXXX I received an interest charge because the promotional offer expired. I had a promotional offer of 0 % interest on a XXXX purchase if paid in 1 year in full. I was not able to pay off the entire balance but paid on the principle of said loan for the entire year and my balance was {$2400.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I received a whopping charge of {$940.00} in interest fees. While I did agree to said terms it was my understanding that I would be charge the XXXX of 26.99 % ( XXXX Rate at time of expiration of promotion ) of what I owed. My Balance was XXXX at 26.99 % interest that would be XXXX. Which I am fine with. I do not agree with these inflated fees. I feel it's extremely predatory. I contacted the customer service line XX/XX/XXXX and the only thing they offered was to waive the fees if I paid in full by the XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: I have been dealing with payment issues with PayPal credit for almost two years. When account was opened I signed up for auto payments, as I do with all my credit cards. In the beginning it seemed to work, sometime in XXXX of XXXX payments were not made automatically, even though I still received emails every month telling me it would happen. The day after the due date, I would get an email telling me my payment was returned by the bank. This was an automatic debit, not a check, so nothing was returned. They closed my credit account. I sent a certified mail to them, which I never got a response to. They did seem to open my account again, not sure. The payment problem continued, same as above. I had been going to my account, via the internet and making payments to make up for the ones they did not take, of course these are mostly late, due to the emails saying the payment was received, then the email saying it wasn't. Also, the account information for payments is still on my account and this is the same info used for the payment, they claim they can't make. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I finally sent them another certified letter in XX/XX/XXXX, explaining again the problem. No response to the letter. When able I tried to get back into my account via the internet and my access was denied. I then attempted to use my PayPal app, access denied. I still am receiving the emails about the payment coming out, payment received and then the day after due date, payment returned. I have copies of the most recent to forward to you, as well as the certified letters I sent. Here are my issues - 1. The have charged me almost every month a {$40.00} late fee. 2. They may have charged me a returned check fee of {$27.00}, each month. 3. I have no access to my account, so I can not get past statements to know what they charged, 4. THEY HAVE DESTROYED MY CREDIT. As of this month I see that PayPal credit did not send me my usual e-mails, I did get an email from Synchrony Bank. After all this time dealing with PayPal and hearing of what they were or trying to do with companies, ( XXXX charge ) perhaps Synchrony is taking over? Not sure. I can't help to wonder if they are doing these things to people on purpose, for financial reasons.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: This is complaint against Synchrony Home Design Credit Card. I had this card over 2 years now. But when I did my refinance back in XXXX my title company issued a check of the full amount on the credit card. They posted the payment at one point and then they reversed it back on the account in XXXX and since then they are reporting my account past due. I called them multiple time to fix this but they are not cooperative at all. I had a brief call this morning to find out what is going on with that account. The account manager tells me that there was some more information required in order to process the payment which I was never informed prior to today. She also claimed that they still have the check in their possession. I asked them what information they need and once I provide that how long will it take to resolve this issue she tells me it can still take up to another 60 days which I feel it should not be as everything on the account currently is because of their mistake. I would like to resolve the issue at the earliest.
