Complaint:
Bank representative was well aware of elder financial abuse and did not take steps to prevent continued exploitation. Representative disregarded & allowed abusers to fraudulently revoke a durable power of attorney put in place to protect the elder from continued financial exploitation ; further allowing those responsible for the theft of more than {$6000.00} from the elder 's financial account during the period XX/XX/2018 to XX/XX/2018, to open another account in the elder 's name willfully accommodating continued theft and financial abuse. The representative and the branch have been complicit in exposing a XXXX year old XXXX XXXX patient to further risk, and have not followed procedures for reporting this issue to the appropriate internal fraud / legal units. As the Principal Agent named in legitimate Durable POA, I was not notified of the closure of a valid account set up for the elder 's protection, nor was any due diligence conducted on behalf of the bank to identify the validity of a fraudulently submitted POA revocation presented by the individuals known & identified to be responsible for prior abuse. The behavior of the bank & its representative were unethical and reckless causing financial harm to client. A formal police report has been filed identifying the representative citing his willful blindness, as well as the individuals responsible for the theft of the elder 's funds. Additionally, a report has been filed with XXXX Elder Protective Services naming the abusers and the representative at Citizen 's Bank given the negligent aid in the continued unauthorized and unlawful theft of a vulnerable person 's limited, financial assets.

Complaint:
Back in XX/XX/XXXX I sent in my first dispute to all 3 credit bureaus, ( XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX ) addressing the incorrect personal information that was being reported on my account. I asked for them to update my credit profile with my correct name, address, and employment info. I know due to covid things may have been backed up so I reached back out to them XX/XX/XXXX. In my XX/XX/XXXX dispute I addressed the same issues with my personal information and asked for verifiable proof of a few accounts that was being reported. I was sent an updated credit report that said accounts has been verified and no change to my profile in XXXX XXXX. I asked for a re-investigation and verifiable proof for selected accounts in XXXX XXXX XXXX. I informed them that according to the FCRA Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), they are required by Federal Law to verify through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract for any and all accounts that's reported on a credit profile.

So instead of continuing going back and forth I figured I'll reach out to you guys to see if you can help me.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CO
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due

Complaint:
I did not receive a bill the first two months I had this XXXX Store credit card issued by Synchrony Bank. Finally figured out I owed money, and they make it ridiculously difficult to pay and charged late fees right away. I think this card is just a scam to earn late fees. I finally now get emails that a bill is late ( never before that ... hmmm ) and the links in the email to go and pay the bill NEVER work. They literally are all broken links with no way to pay. In addition, I set up autopay. But each time it doesn't auto charge me, they say it will skip a month, and then they don't remind you and they want you to set up autopay AGAIN. And the cycle continues. I am not planning to use the card anymore despite the 5 % cashback offered on XXXX purchases. I would like to have all of my late fees refunded to me. Honestly, I have never had a credit card that the issuer makes so hard to pay. I got one email while travelling and did not have all the info I needed ... then it gets later ... it literally takes a few days to figure out how to log in and pay each month. Meanwhile, they rack up late fees. RUN AWAY!!!
