Synchrony Financial Debt collection department,

Credit card False statements or representation Attempted to collect wrong amount Alabama

This complaint is about 2 issues : 1. The DUPLICATION of this debt on my Credit Report by - companies, the original company SYNCB/SMRTCN ( - also called GECR PAYPALSMARTCONN ) and the company they sold/transferred it to -. BOTH OF THESE COMPANIES ARE LISTING THIS SAME DEBT ON MY CREDIT REPORT! They even share almost the same account number : The - account number for this debt is : - While the - list this debt as - See any similarities? PayPal SYNCB/SMRTCN List this as a closed debt while - list it as an active account. 2. This account was closed by PayPal SYNCB/SMRTCN after they mistakenly thought I had not made a payment in - of 2009. When they called to tell me I had missed the payment I gave them the confirmation number of the payment I had made on time and a few hours later told them I had checked with my bank and indeed the payment had gone through the bank. Nevertheless they wanted me to make another payment that included a large penalty, which I refused to make. - subsequently closed the account even though up till this time I had a perfect record of payments. I had never had a problem paying the original amount but the total since this time has always reflected the original amount plus penalties. Even though I have complained about this duplication before both of these companies have published this DUPLICATION ON MY CREDIT REPORT FOR 6 1/2 YEARS!
