Consumer Complaint: Unable to use Synchrony Bank consumer portal website to view or manage account, including recent purchases and promotions for XXXX different stores. Attempted to access the site using XXXX different web browsers, and cleared cookies, but to no avail. Notified customer service on XX/XX/2022 through both chat and phone, who informed me that they were aware the site was down and to wait XXXX business days, on top of the approximate XXXX week that I had already waited- this timeline has been exceeded. No further notifications received from the bank- until a statement notice was received on XX/XX/2022 for payment due within XXXX weeks. Thinking the bill being sent implied the site was fixed, I again attempted to access my accounts with the bank. However, I am still unable to access my account to verify whether promotional terms have been applied, and any minimum payments due. This is simply unacceptable and scammy for a bank that maintains a consumer account management and payment portal.

Consumer Complaint: POSTED AT : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, New York XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX Washington, DC XXXX XXXX Synchrony Financial XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , CT XXXX United States XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : SYNCHRONY BANK, REPEATED EARNED CREDIT, EXEMPLARY ACCOUNTS, NO NOTICE AND NO REASON, ACCOUNT SEIZURES/CLOSURES MOST RECENT LOWES ACCOUNT EXEMPLARY STANDING OVER TWO YEARS, NEVER MISSED OR LATE PAYMENT, CLOSED OVER {$4000.00} EARNED CREDIT SEIZED, NO LOYALTY REWARDS OFFERED THAT ARE OFFERED TO OTHER CUSTOMERS, XXXX XXXX EXCELLENT STANDING, NEVER LATE OR MISSED PAYMENT, EARNED CREDIT SEIZED, ACCOUNT CLOSED, NO LOYALTY REWARDS OFFERED THAT ARE OFFERED TO OTHER CUSTOMERS, XXXX XXXX NEVER MISSED OR LATE PAYMENT, EARNED CREDIT SEIZED, ACCOUNT CLOSED, NO NOTICE, NO REASON, NO LOYALTY REWARDS OFFERED THAT ARE OFFERED TO OTHER CUSTOMERS, RECENT AMAZON CREDIT REDUCED AFTER OVER 2 YEARS OF AGAIN EXEMPLARY PAYMENT HISTORY, SYNCHRONY BANK REPEATED, UNWARRANTED, AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL PRACTICES Dear XXXX XXXX and CFPB Director : I write this letter with respect to the above repeated discriminatory, unconstitutional, and malicious acts. I seek an end to this. I seek my accounts to be reinstated pursuant to : U.S.A Constitution Fourth Amendment The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. U.S.A Constitution Fourteenth Amendment No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States ; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law ; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. It is unlawful to seize ones earned property rights. I earned the credit on each of the above noted accounts, and they were seized without Notice, court order or affidavit. America was built on the Constitution and its purpose was to have laws in place to stop arbitrary and malicious treatment such as seizing ones property, ones money, without Notice, affidavit and court order. I have been denied equal protection of the law, and ask that this unwarranted, damaging, treatment stops. Please reinstate my accounts and make sure these unconstitutional practices are stopped. Repeatedly seizing my good-standing credit is in contravention to Synchronys very own loyalty rewards. Please see below. Synchrony Bank penalized me for having multiple exemplary accounts, never late and never missed payments. Synchrony Bank repeatedly seized my earned credit and closed accounts without notice, court or affidavit. This is a betrayal of the above noted 4th and 14th state and federal Constitutional Amendments. Why is Synchrony Bank betraying the USA Constitution to assault me? Is this a foreign bank that is an enemy of the Constitution? The seizing of each account with no Court Order, No Notice and No Affirmation, was not part of the agreement I contracted for. I did not contract with this bank to be treated like a second-class citizen. Foreign enemies and treasonous entities often implement the above noted treason. All such methods are unlawful. Until you have a court order, a Notice, and an affirmation, you may not seize my property, earned credit that I contracted to use and payback, like I have. I never contracted for any third-party concerns and or for arbitrary treatment. Please fix this. Reinstate my accounts as we contracted or cite what laws the Synchrony Bank credit destroyers/hitmen think gives Synchrony Bank authority to try to override the Supreme laws of the land, rooted in the USA and NY Constitutions seizure and equal protection of the law protections. I look forward to being treated, like anyone reading this would like to be treated. Please fix this and reinstate each account that was maliciously and unconstitutionally closed. Please get back to me by XX/XX/XXXX. Thank you. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX EXHIBIT 1 WHAT IS THE CRITERIA FOR HAVING MY LOYALTY, MY EXEMPLARY CREDIT HISTORY WITH SYNCHRONY BANK RESPECTED?
