Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: The company listed below appeared on my credit history due fraudulent credit card application being submitted using my name. 3. Company : SYNCBJC PENNEY PLCC My Actions : I've called the number, ( XXXX XXXX ), associated with this company on my XXXX credit report and have also reached out XXXX XXXX as well. I asked the lender to close the application/card to be closed and to have the inquiry removed. I also asked XXXX to also remove the inquiry. They told me report fraud through the FTC and I have done so for the second time. Outcome : I will need documentation from Synchrony Bank stating this inquiry doesn't belong to me so I can move forward with XXXX because the inquiry remains on my credit report. The last time I submitted a CFPB complaint, I was sent a PDF document relating to another person and I have attached that as well.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers

Subissue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX XXXX, I bought a new set of XXXX tires for my car at Pep Boys in XXXX, MD. When purchasing the tires, I inquired about a credit card offer I saw online. The offer was to receive a " {$200.00} VISA prepaid card when you purchase and install a set of XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX or XXXX tires with your Pep Boys Synchrony Care Care credit card* '' The * references a comment of " *In Store Only '', which was fine, because I was purchasing the tires in the store. The person who helped me said that I could fill out the credit card application and charge my tires, so I applied, was approved, and used the credit card for my tires purchase. I asked about the rebate and he said that it would be mailed to me. A couple months went by and I did not receive the rebate. So, I tried emailing Pep Boys customer support for assistance. First, they directed me to the wrong rebate - one sponsored by XXXX, not the Synchrony card. Then, they gave me a website for Synchrony promotions : synchronycarcare.sendmyrewards.com and a Synchrony phone number I could call : XXXX When I went to the website, they had rebate forms, but only for purchases in the then-current month of XXXX, none were applicable for much XXXX purchase. So, I called the number and asked for the correct rebate form. The person I spoke with said that I had to have filed the form within 30 days of the purchase and that she could no longer provide me a rebate form. I explained that I had been told that I would receive the VISA credit card and no further action was required on my part. Furthermore, the website promotion mentions nothing about a rebate form that must be filed. It does have an asterisk ( * ), which only refers to the need to make an in-store purchase. So, I had done everything in my knowledge and power to obtain the promised rebate. I asked if I could speak to a supervisor and was told she was the supervisor and that there was nothing more she could do. Attached is a copy of the web page showing the {$200.00} XXXX prepaid card promotion and a copy of the email exchange with Pep Boys customer service.

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 received a letter from Synchrony Bank in which they stated I was already given a refund of XXXX dollars but I explained to the representated that credit was because of service, delivery, and production issues the manager at Lowe 's credit me nothing to do with the return of service. I do not think this representative did their job right and the credit card did not contact Lowe 's to see why I was not given a refund. Lowe 's works with this bank but they do not seen honest and willing to help understand why I never got a refund for my purchase or why the 12 months zero percent interest did not go through. Here is the background : This complaint is against Lowe 's Home Improvement store XXXX in XXXX IL. On XX/XX/XXXX, I had a XXXX XXXX delivered and when that was installed it started leaking water during the first test washer the installer had set up. I called up the installer and lowe 's and the installer came back the same day and wrote a report. Spoke with Sales Rep XXXX about this and did created a work order. I went back and purchased another dishwasher to replace the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I purchased a XXXX XXXX on Saturday XX/XX/2023 from XXXX XXXX and it got delivered on XX/XX/XXXX, but they did take the old dishwasher. The installer came on XX/XX/XXXX at around XXXX to XXXX XXXX came in to pick up and install the new XXXX XXXX I called the Lowe 's department store and spoke with the manager XXXX ( different than the installer ) I explained all the trouble and miscommunication because the story goes into more detail. XXXX gives me a credit of {$300.00} for all the issues and problems. XXXX XXXX was supposed to credit me back for the defective XXXX and until XX/XX/XXXX he has not. I called Lowe 's twice in the last month and no call back or credit from any Lowe 's manager or the Sales Rep. I am owed a refund {$1000.00}, taxes, and installation cost of {$250.00}. In addition, XXXX XXXX promised and said he would call to get my zero percent interest for 12 months. As of today, I do not see it on my statement. I told him twice and the manager XXXX too. This has been the worst experience I have ever received for any store purchase. Lowe 's rep and 3rd party affiliates took the defective dishwasher and no credit. I am concerned it might have been stolen or misplaced. I have text message screenshot and witnesses to everything that happened.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Consumer Complaint: In the past 90 days I have sent the company a billing error request and payment to be credited to my account. I have reached out to customer service for status and nobody is able to provide me with any information. I sent the billing error request via certified mail and then sent the other via registered mail, to the trustee ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) referencing the companies SEC filings, XXXX and XXXX forms in regards to my coupon. My coupons is a receivable that is not being credited appropriately. I have not received any response from the company Synchrony Financial/Sams Club . They have since listed my information as late and reflect an inaccurate balance on the account on my credit report/file. By law, during billing error disputes the company can not reflect negatively on my report and must submit responses to me in writing within 60 days of resolution. Additionally, along with not response to milling error request and the form of payment sent not being credited to my account nor returned, this constitutes discharge per 15 US code 1666 section e for failure to comply. The company is not honoring their filings through this whole process.
