Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (GA)

Subject : Formal Complaint : Synchrony Bank Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to address a recurring issue I have encountered with the applications for business credit cards associated with Synchrony Bank . On two separate occasions, I applied for a LOWES business credit card ( issued by Synchrony Bank ), only to be denied due to the reason stated as " High risk source of application. '' Subsequently, I attempted to reapply a year later, receiving the same outcome. 

In an effort to seek clarification, I promptly contacted LOWES regarding the rejection, only to be redirected to Synchrony Bank. Despite my attempts to reach out to Synchrony Bank, I encountered difficulties navigating past their automated service as it prevents me from connecting with a representative to resolve the matter. 

More recently, I applied for an Amazon business credit card, also managed by Synchrony Bank, and was, once again, denied with the same explanation, " High risk source of application. '' Upon investigating this designation, I discovered that it typically pertains to the flagging of potentially fraudulent applicants. It is crucial to emphasize that I have never been involved in any form of fraudulent activity or conduct throughout my life. Thus, I perceive this designation as an act of discrimination, potentially influenced by my name. 

I would like to highlight that I run a successful business and maintain multiple business credit cards, including XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX  XXXX XXXX, all in good standing with a flawless payment history. My credit score is exceptional, and I bear no personal credit card debt. Moreover, my business 's financial standing is exemplary, reflected in one of the highest business scores with XXXX XXXX XXXX. As a dedicated business owner, I am actively seeking opportunities to expand my business. 

Regrettably, the recurring denials from Synchrony Bank lack a reasonable explanation, and there appears to be an absence of an appeals system within their process. I strongly suspect that I am encountering discriminatory treatment based on my name and assumption of my race and location. Therefore, I demand a comprehensive explanation as to why my applications for any affiliate business credit cards under Synchrony Bank have consistently met denials. 

I find this situation entirely unacceptable and sincerely hope for your prompt intervention to resolve this matter. Failing a satisfactory resolution, I will be compelled to explore legal avenues against Synchrony Bank for discrimination. 

I await your immediate attention to this pressing issue and a timely resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Despite my diligent efforts, these issues persist unresolved. Enclosed is a copy of the letter I previously dispatched to the credit bureaus. Your firm 's response deemed my request for verification of erroneous items on my report as " frivolous '' or " irrelevant. '' It's crucial to note that I take this matter very seriously. Should you opt not to address my original request, sent via certified mail, I will not hesitate to escalate this matter to the Federal Trade Commission. I urge you to conduct a thorough review of the following information and provide evidence supporting the alleged item, such as a contract, note, or any document bearing my signature. Failure to provide such evidence will result in my insistence on the immediate removal of these items from my report.
