Synchrony bank, as the credit card provider for - stores, employs deceptive and unfair practices with an add-on product on their credit card ( card security ). Upon the opening of my account, I noticed an $85.00 fee on my account - outside the promotional 48 month financing I had taken advantage of with the store when I made a large purchase of furniture. When I called and inquired about the fee, I was told it was an optional product and that I had selected it when I signed up. I signed up online within the store and do no recall selecting any feature that required additional fees. Synchrony Bank representatives stated that the check box was in the middle of the application to sign up for the add-on product. The application should be reviewed as I believe that Synchrony Bank is employing a deceptive practice to hide this add-on product and it is not clear that the add-on product needs to be " de-selected '' while filling out the application and it is not clearly labeled on the application. Furthermore, I have now called the credit card company over 5 times to have the fees removed. The first time
removed. When I called the line that was provided, the representative ( of what I assume is a third party company ), stated that the fee was waived in full ( $85.00 ). I checked my balance on the - of - and discovered that another $2.00 fee was on the account randomly and when I called Synchrony Bank yet again they stated the fee was for the " card security program ''. I informed the company that they should make a note that I was complaining to the appropriate regulator as they continue to try to charge fees for a worthless product that was added to my account through deception.
