I applied for a XXXX XXXX Credit card through Synchrony Bank and was turned down due to what they call " High Risk Source of Application ''. 
I really don't understand this as I have excellent credit, am never late on my payments, and have really high scores on all three credit bureaus. I never get turned down for credit! 
This is very frustrating and contacting Synchrony Bank is no help as they can't even explain to me what this means!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I started going to XXXX in XXXX Colorado XX/XX/2013. I took out 2 loans because my financial aid wouldn't cover it all. One loan was for {$3000.00} and the other was for XXXX. The only money I received in my hand was a check for XXXX because they said that isn't the way they do things. Now on my credit report years later I have a loan for {$5500.00} with one acct number that was issued on XX/XX/13 as a student loan, and 2 direct loans with the same acct number for XXXX and XXXX, which include interest. Those 2 loans are probably the right loans. If you add the other 2 loans together, they add up to the same amount of the loan that I am unaware of. Please help me. This isn't right and to boot I have another new loan that is on my credit report from another school. How can the government just hand out student loans to people without verifying their identity?

Sub-issue: Cashing a check

Complaint:
On XX/XX/21 at approx XXXXXXXX XXXX I visited the Bank of America at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX. 
I had received my XXXX  bonus from my employer XXXX XXXX, which was XXXX. 
I was charged XXXX to cash the check and yes I agreed to pay it cause I definitely needed the money. No, I do not have an account at this bank. Yet, it is my companies banking institution. 
So this is more of a question than a complaint, is it not robbery for a banking institution to charge for cashing a payroll check thats written on their bank? I mean think about it. The payer still has the full check amount deducted from their account and the payee has to pay for having the check cashed. In this case the bank profited XXXX on this transaction. 
Please explain how this work. 
Thank you
