Consumer Complaint: I called Synchrony bank/Banana republic 4 times in the past 60 days requesting the credit to my account be sent as a check to me, since I received a refund from a purchase. They say over the phone they are requesting the check to be sent and I should receive within 7-14 days. I wait the 14 days and when I dont receive the check, I call again seeing what the issue is. It wasnt the wrong address, and every time they say they see no request for a check being sent to me for my refund. So they request again and the cycle has continued. Its to the point I dont know what else to do to get my money.

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Application denied

Consumer Complaint: I recently applied for XXXX XXXX credit card, for dental implants. I applied initially to Synchrony bank. I was denied. I did not understand, because I have good credit, which I check all the time. I then applied through another company, and was approved right away, up to {$10000.00}. So now I am really curious why I was declined for service by this bank. I got the denial letter, two weeks later. The claim on the letter said I was denied because I already had an existing account. The information was not correct. I had never heard of the bank, nor were they ever on my credit report. After calling and investigating why I was denied, the agent on the phone, XXXX, put me on hold, came back with an unacceptable answer. He said I was denied, because a few years ago, someone applied to XXXX XXXX, with my social security number, which is still in their system. I asked them, how could someone use my social, and this info not show up on my credit report. He did not have an answer. As a consumer, I take pride in watching and monitoring my credit report. I am very familiar with what is on the report, because I check it all the time. I have not been denied credit in years, so, I thought I better follow through with this complaint. It does not make sense, therefore, I am asking for an investigation. I am also attaching letter of approval from the XXXX XXXX, in the amount of {$10000.00}, when I applied with them. Thank you in advance.

Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: on XX/XX/2022 I received a letter in the mail stating that all of my Synchrony accounts are closed due to activity on accounts with synchrony bank indicative of high risk of failure to pay. However most accounts I have with synchrony do not carry a balance. others are paid in full monthly and on time. I was just given credit limit increases on most of the accounts about 2 weeks prior to all of the accounts being closed. My income is more than enough to cover any debt I may carry. I tried reaching out to synchrony multiple times and no one can ever give me an answer to what is going on.
