Issue: Trouble using your card

Subissue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit

Consumer Complaint: XXXX. 2022 JCPenny CARDS Recently the card company decided to reduce my credit limit on my card resulting to a drop in my credit score. I wasn't given a notice, I have no late payments, theres no outstanding balance on the card, and I used the card over a year ago and paid the balance off. What makes matters worst I called for a credite increase several times with no good explaination. The bank service Synchrony has several accounts with me with high credit limits. But JC Penny refuses to increase my limit.

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: On XX/XX/XXXX I returned an item to Amazon the item was received by Amazon and per email from Amazon on XXXX of XXXX they issued a refund for {$330.00}. Problem is that this was never posted on my account. I disputed this charge expecting that this issue will be resolved and i would get my money back since the merchant got their item and issued refund my account should be credit for the amount. I sent in 16 pages of paperwork showing the tracking and Amazon saying they recieved item as asked by the company. They denied this dispute now I dont have my item or money. Complete horrible experience as I submitted proof but no one read it and just denied. Not sure what i need to do to get money maybe file a case.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems

Subissue: Add-on products and services

Consumer Complaint: I have been a CareCredit card holder for years. I got the card because it offered no interest installment payments ( 6 or 12-month durations ) for healthcare and dental services. I use the app to manage my account. Last year when I received a new card in the mail, I assumed that, like any other card, it was time for renewal, and in order to renew, I had to activate the account. When I activated the account late last year, I was already paying monthly for a XXXX XXXX I finished paying for that 12-month loan in XX/XX/2022. I used the card again on XXXX XXXX, 2022, to pay {$560.00} for some XXXX XXXX I called CareCredit on XXXX XXXX at XXXXXXXX XXXX to inquire as to whether that {$560.00} was on a 6-month or 12-month payment schedule. Usually, the default is 6 months. I was told by the representative that " unfortunately '' ( her words ), the card was used as a " Mastercard ''. I asked her how the card could be used as a Mastercard when it's not a Mastercard but a healthcare and dental credit card. She said that I activated it as a Mastercard when I received the new card in the mail. I told her that I was not aware that I was activating a Mastercard. I told her that it wasn't like they sent me two cards and said one is a Mastercard, and the other is the card you are used to. Instead, I received what looked like my regular CareCredit card. I told her I didn't need another credit card and would not have signed up for one if not tricked into activating a Mastercard instead of a no-interest healthcare and dental card. This tactic is similar to what XXXX XXXX was just accused of doing, except it is a lot more insidious. So CareCredit sent me a card that looked like my regular card in a renewal package that I had to activate, but instead, it was, by default, a high-interest Mastercard. If this was not meant to fool the customer into using a high-interest Mastercard that they thought was a no-interest healthcare and dental care, why is the default the high-interest Mastercard? I didn't tell the dental provider to make sure not to use the card as a Mastercard because I didn't know I had a Mastercard. The representative wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise. She talked over me. I told her that I was going to report them to the FTC, and still, she continued to speak over me. I asked her if I could speak, and she continued to talk over me, so I disconnected the call. This is so fraudulent. Even the app that I use never changed to the new Mastercard image. I was clueless about this bait and switch.

Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: Frequent or repeated calls

Consumer Complaint: Quote from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX " The XXXX protects cell phone users against unwelcome robo-calls and calls made using an automatic dialing system from companies '' " Debt Collection is a legal activity. But when it translates into stress and anxiety for the consumer, it no longer is legal. '' Everyday, Mon-Sunday, at random times XXXX sometimes XXXX on the dot I receive an 'automated ' call from supposedly " Synchrony Bank '' requesting I call back. It is the same automated voice and same message every time regardless of day, whether the banks open or not, and even on holidays. It is not a person and when you answer you get the same automated message. If you call the number you get an automated message saying " Thank you for calling paypal credit ''. They don't specify any information regarding having contacted the correct person or specifics as to why. I looked up the number that is called XXXX and multiple sites and users report it as a spam caller that calls multiple times a day phishing for XXXX XXXX info, pretending to be XXXX. The automated message from incoming calls says it is Synchrony Bank however. Regardless of their legitimacy or connection to XXXX or synchrony bank, they are not following the guidelines of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and are skirting the rules set by the FTC ( can't call before XXXX so they call at XXXX on the dot ) and they need to stop.
