Synchrony Financial Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Synchrony Financial Bank account or service department,

(CD) Certificate of deposit Account opening, closing, or management Illinois

We recently tried to move $30000.00 of our college savings for my daughter to Synchrony Bank, but have found Synchrony to be very unfair and deceptive in their process. After a month, they have yet to open the account or begin paying interest. I have called them several times and continue to get different excuses each time I call. One person ( - ) suggested in his message that we endorsed the check wrong. ( But when we call him back during his supposed work hours, he never answers the phone and he never returns our call. ) Another said the system had timed out and I needed to start the process over. And a third suggested that maybe it was because my daughter did n't have a credit history. ( I tried to apply before she turned -, but Synchrony descriminated against minors and refused to allow us to apply. ) I 've tried to call Synchrony at least 10 times and they rarely return my calls and when they do, they call when we 're at work so they do n't have to talk to us.


3 business days. If you have any questions please call us at -. Account opening ID : -. '' Having heard no concerns after 3 days, we withdrew the money from our credit union and mailed it to Synchrony ( so it was a bank check, not a personal check ). Since that time, they have n't opened the account and wo n't give us a straight answer as to why or what they need to resolve the problem. I 've tried to escalate to a member of management, but they do everything possible to not escalate. They are very resistant and will only give in after the customer gets angry. When I finally got the call escalated to -, I thought maybe I was getting somewhere. But then she did n't return my call either and was careful not to provide her full name or phone number. They are also abusing the process by keeping our check and not returning it so that we can go to a different Bank that really wants our business. We 've lost nearly a month 's interest, not to mention the time for all of these calls and now this complaint just to try to get our money back. Last week, I left - yet another voice mail sharing my expectation that the funds were back in my hands by the end of the week. I received neither a response nor the check. When I called today, they insisted that I explain the whole thing over again. I had to again get angry to get the call escalated, but then - response was more excuses and to blame me for not calling the right area of the bank. This is probably the worst service I 've ever received from a bank. Please help me get my money back from Synchony and stop them from abusing other customers this way!
