I have made 19 calls to both Synchrony AND XXXX to problem solve. Spoken to at least 20 different people, like XXXX employee ID XXXX, XXXX and XXXX employee ID XXXX. Calls spanned from XXXX through today and I have those details. One acct manager had a solution of asking XXXX to extend the promotion int heir system so it would feed to Synchrony, adjust and then we would be clear. XXXX, managet at the XXXX store in XXXX FLorida agreed and submitted. Synchrony is saying sorry - not possible and I woe over # XXXX in accumulated back interest at a whopping 30 %. I was given different information and acted in good faith. I am reasonble and have taken the neecesay action steps- so much as paid the balance in full in XX/XX/XXXXXXXX to be sure by XXXX we were in a credit balance. I am so upset as can not affor to waste {$3300.00} in insane highway robbery inteest rates. This sounds borderline illegal. I need help advocating as I have exhausted myself trying to elevate and problem solve. ANy recourse other than go to court at an additional expense? thank you in advance!

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: Synchrony Bank has failed to handle my automatic payments for my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX on a timely manner due to their own faulty payments systems and broken website. Every month since I made the initial purchase in XX/XX/2023, they have failed to auto-debit my bank account for my monthly payment and have sent collection notices stating that I'm past due. I have had to call Synchrony directly every month to make the manual payments due to broken email links and the inability to log into my account at XXXX XXXX XXXX Every customer service person I've talked to has insisted my bank details must have been wrongly entered and that it's my fault that payments are being received late. This is despite having a Synchrony account representative manually enter the bank and routing number directly back in XXXX and receiving assurances from him that I would no longer have any issues after he confirmed my bank information and a payment finally went through.
