Synchrony Bank Credit card department,
I purchased furniture making use of a twelve-month, same as cash offer via Synchrony Financial ( formerly GE Money Bank or GE Capital ). I established a monthly recurring payment with my bank, which processes a payment to Synchrony in the amount of $150.00 on the - of each month. I received a statement from Synchrony indicating that they did not receive a payment from me in - or -. They applied a $25.00 late fee. After - phone calls with Synchrony ( - being escalated to a supervisor, - ), I was told that I had to fax proof of my payments to Synchrony. I obtained proof of the payments from my bank, and fax those documents to Synchrony as well as a letter stating that I wanted them to take certain actions, which included crediting my payments as well as explaining why they were not crediting the payments that had been sent. My fear is that this will continue to happen unless they correct the issue. I want an explanation as to why there are not applying my payments. Further, I stated that I wanted something in writing stating that I did not make any late payments as
later ), and I have not receive - bit of communication from Synchrony. They have not indicated that they received my documents, and certainly have not addressed the items I asked them to in my fax, namely crediting my account, providing me with assurance that they 've found and corrected the problem, or a letter stating that I have not been delinquent in my payments. I have received absolutely nothing from them. I researched this company online and was astonished by the number of complains just like mine. It appears that this is a common practice with Synchrony. In fact, " - '' has - reviews of Synchrony, all with the lowest possible rating and describing this same type of incident. Amazon complaints run rampant as well. This is clearly a company that makes a practice of creating reasons for charging people late fees and attaching interest to " same as cash '' accounts. I would like my issue addressed by them immediately and their practices should be investigated by federal authorities.
