Consumer Complaint: So this charge for XXXX needs to be credited back I bought a service thst was a supposed to be good for a year and it was not as advertised and the seller lied to me and ripped me off and lied to me. It turns out the service was only good for 6 months and the seller will not respond to me at all. And it wont answer my disputes or emails. I am really upset. I disputed this before and it came back I can only reach your company by chat because every time I try to call any of your XXXX numbers it says they are all disconnected its like you have some kind of block on my phone from reaching you. I need to dispute again and the chat people keep saying I need to call but I cant because every time I call you back the numbers are alll disconnected.

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: I am writing this letter to Synchrony Bank and enclosing evidence to show The negligence of Synchrony Bank. I am experiencing a double charge to which Synchrony refuses to fix. I have worked along with ParkWest galleries to try and fix this issue. and Parkwest issued a letter stating I was double charged and will be working on it with SYnchrony. Thus far, nothing. They did say however, It is a Synchrony Bank issue. My following proof is numbered by me and circled in every top right corner of the page. Highlights are in my notes, with each piece of document that I have presented to you. 1. my invoices of my paintings that I purchased on XX/XX/2023. Since this date I have not made another purchase with ParkWest or use a Synchrony Credit Card. i. I put on a loan with Park West, nothing to do with Synchrony Bank. ii. the remaining balance was {$24000.00}. 1. {$20000.00} To Synchrony Bank credit card 2. {$4100.00} to my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 2. my Loan contract with Park West that has nothing to do with Synchrony Bank . 3. financed paperwork minus my downpayment. i. {$60000.00} purchase price ii. Minus my downpayment of {$12000.00} iii. Equals My debt with Park West not Synchrony {$48000.00} 4. Another breakdown sheet and my credit card payments to Park West Debt, not Synchrony. 5. I highlighted my payments. 6. My credit card statement ( s ) that show exactly what I paid. 7. As my paintings were received by me I received my first portion of Parkwest Synchrony Bank debt of {$7600.00}. Date XX/XX/2023. 8. My last payment to my Parkwest Synchrony Credit Card of {$12000.00}. a. If you add the two amounts, guess what, it comes out to {$20000.00}. b. Look at the bottom of the page, under payment summary, it matches the total of {$20000.00}. 9. I was charged again for {$12000.00} taking my Synchrony Credit Card to a {$32000.00} debt. This is an erroneous charge. I was charged twice for the same painting. 10. I have called several times and even changed my card and called and had my account reviewed over and over and Synchrony refuses to fix the issue 11. I have made some payments in the process as you can see. From your webpage 12. My sales draft and promotional terms for my Synchrony Bank card, {$20000.00}. 13. Some emails that I am in communication with Parkwest. If you read their letter, It shows once again that I was charged double for a piece of art at the total disputed amount of {$12000.00} After my emails with Parkwest, I received an email from Synchrony sees this as a unique and not a duplication. This is absolutely ridiculous. I would like to receive a courtesy phone call to discuss this matter further. XXXX XXXX XXXX
