Synchrony Financial Credit Card Complaint

APR or interest rate

Synchrony Financial Credit card department,

APR or interest rate Virginia

I 've recenlty been a victim of a preditory loan. I purchased a bed from - - in California and with it came a promotion for 2 years 0 % APR. During those two years I made regular payments on the credit card through Synchrony Bank and also requested e-statements rather than paper bills each month. I never received an e-statement in my email, which on their website it says I was to be receiving e-statements, but they made sure to take out payments from my bank each month. Recently the 2 year 0 % financing period ended and they charged me 30 % APR deferred interest on the original purchase amount not on the remaining balance. Prior to the expiration date I never received a notice informing me of the upcoming expiration date and since I was not receiving the statements in my email, I missed the expiration date. I had to sign into my account and check on the status of the account, and it was then I noticed an interest charge of over $1100.00. I called their customer service and asked if I could just pay the remaining balance today and be done with the card and not be charged the incredibly high interest charge, especially since this was something that happened about a month ago. The account manager was immensely unhelpful, and when I asked to speak to her manger she took down my number and said they would call me back within 72 hours. At this point I would like to get this resolved as soon as possible since they will continue to charge me % 30 APR until I pay off the card.
