Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX I paid {$3000.00} towards this credit card, the funds were withdrawn from my account that day and I got a confirmation email that the payment was posted on XX/XX/XXXX. 

XX/XX/XXXX I paid {$1600.00} towards this credit card, the funds were withdrawn from my account that day and I got a confirmation email that the payment was posted on XX/XX/XXXX. 

XX/XX/XXXX I called Synchrony Bank to ask why my payments have not been posted to the credit card yet and they claim this payment was flagged for fraud risk because of their large size ( {$3000.00} & {$1600.00} ). My credit card statement balance was $ XXXX at the time so I don't feel this was a " suspicious '' payment. I've made multiple payments from this checking account in the past ( as large as {$2600.00} ) without issue. The customer service rep told me the payment can take up to 10 business days to process. 

XX/XX/XXXX I called asking why my first payment has still not been applied to the account as it has now been 12 days. My total credit limit is {$8000.00} and my available balance just {$7.00}, my utility payments on autopay are declining due to insufficient funds. My normal expenses monthly on this credit card are $ XXXX each month. So only having balance of {$3200.00} all charged in the past week or so my card is now declining any further purchase. I asked for a higher credit limit of {$16000.00} but was declined, rep told me they would send a letter explaining why in the mail.
