Synchrony Financial Credit Card Complaint

Payoff process

Synchrony Financial Credit card department,

Payoff process New York

Synchrony Bank - Lowes Credit Card The company does not any longer provide an online statement unless you agree to electronic billing. That 's probably legal. The company does not provide a statement of " balance due to avoid interest charges on your next statement '' ( - - does ). They 've argued that is legal and they 're not obligated to provide that information directly. Consumers can calculate the amount by subtracting promotional balances. Today I 've been on chat support with Lowes/Synchrony to pay my bill correctly, and so far - agents can not explain what happens when I send in a payment regarding how the payment is applied to promotional balances. Oldest balance first? dunno. Allocated proportionately? dunno. The answer offered by each is that it is 'automatic ' and 'by the system '.


What I was trying to understand is that I had actually zero current activity but there are - separate zero interest promotional balances incurred at different times. Today I was making a payment. My past payments reduced the balance of all promotional purchases but not the oldest first. No one can explain the logic. The agents say that they can not explain the allocation but, to their credit for doing their best within their authority, that consumers have to call or chat each month if the consumer wants the payment applied to the oldest balance or in any particular way. Could the company comment, is this information correct? Why ca n't anyone just explain the payment policy? ... is it too complicated?
