Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX, I paid a {$9.00} Amazon card bill a few days late -- it was due on the XXXX. I called and explained that it was late because my daughter had XXXX, and was told the late fee ( also XXXX ) would be refunded. That {$9.00} was a recurring monthly charge, and the next time I paid early. But my next bill, for XXXX, read : XX/XX/XXXX Payment - {$9.00} XX/XX/XXXX Refund of Late Fees - {$9.00} XX/XX/XXXX Amazon XXXX - {$9.00} XXXX LATE FEE {$19.00} New Statement Balance : {$29.00} When I called, I was told that the refund only applied to my total owed and not my monthly amount due, and so I was technically late because I had not paid the first late fee before XXXX, and that I had erred by making two payments in XXXX, which the system could not handle. After being on hold for a long time, I was then told I would have to pay the XXXX late fee, even though I owed nothing at the point it was assessed!

Consumer Complaint: I requested a letter, which the collector refused to do. I reluctantly agree to correspond via email. I also asked that they not call me due to XXXX XXXX at which point he mocked me. Then did not send the email when he said he would. I had to leave a voicemail for the collector to remind him to send it on Friday XX/XX/22. I received a call from the collector on XX/XX/22, After I requested to not be contacted by phone. The collector tried to say I called him which was not the case and I have proof otherwise. The collector then tried to pressure me into scheduling a payment at which point I told him I wasnt comfortable doing. I told him that I asked him not to call back to reach me via email as we agreed. He said he would just continue to call if I did not schedule the payment today.

Consumer Complaint: I paid my Belk/XXXX on XX/XX/2022 through my bill payer account. I paid more than the minimum amount due. My bank showed the payment posting on XX/XX/2022. I recieved an email from belk a few days later saying that they did not recieve the payment and that i was going to have to file a missing payment form. i had to wait for my bank statement. on last friday i got an email from belk saying that the payment had posted to the account on XX/XX/XXXX. then i got a notice from synchrony bank saying that they closed that account and all of my other accounts that synchrony services. i dont think it is fair that all of my accounts have been closed when i in fact paid the bill on time and something happened between then bank and the credit card company.

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Application denied

Consumer Complaint: I am having XXXX XXXX on the XXXX of XXXX My doctor uses Care Credit . 24 mos. No interest. Went online and filled out the information, which consisted of my name, address, and amount of XXXX, SSN. I received Pending number XXXX. Several days passed I called the number XXXX XXXX XXXX. The person said I needed to go to Varify on my phone only because the camera would be used. Synchrony varify.syf.com I worked threw it, took a video of myself, then took a photo of my driver 's license front. I went to the back to it but could not get the picture. it kicked me out and Blocked me. I called the number XXXX the person I talked to said they got what they needed, just first front and back of the License plus photo and info. Then she said to wait a minute it just popped up on my computer you have been denied. I asked how could that be possible you didn't ask for any banking info or had time to check my credit. Her demeanor changed she said you will receive a letter in 7-10 days telling you why you have been denied. I asked to speak to a supervisor. No help just the same 7-10 days your letter will tell you why. I called my Doctor office They tried to help same answers. Their office called the Care Credit Rep. he was going to look into the problem. Never heard from him. Received a letter saying I needed to finish my application When I called got the same answer oops you have been denied. No one tried to help even when the doctors office called them same answer. I have a XXXX credit score just by myself for {$6600.00} dollars. I do beleive they saw my photo and age and they said not this one. I have paid my doctor and was unable to take advantage of the offer and not help to rectify the problem from Sychrony Bank. I would like to be reimbursed for lack of customer care.
