Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (VA)

This relates to a Lowe 's ( hardware store ) card, billed by Synchrony. 

Prior experience has taught me that this company sometimes sends the bill so late that even if you pay the day the bill arrives, you will be charged a late fee. In a previous instance they did refund the wrongly-charged fee. 

So on XXXX XXXX I noticed that the usual bill had not arrived, and went online to see if there was a bill this month. The online log-in said they were discontinuing mailing bills and switching to online bills. So I tried to check for the bill online. Their website said online statement not currently available, but that I owed payment by XXXX XXXX. I have not received any bill for this period by email, by mail, or by any other method, but for my logging on in suspicion. 

Then Lowe 's sends an email " confirming my preference '' for online billing. 

I paid the bill on time using billpay, and my bank says the payment will arrive on XXXX XXXX, so I should not be charged this time. 

Please require Lowe's/Synchrony to send credit card billing early enough that customers can pay on time and avoid late charges.

To Whom It May Concern : Im writing this letter to express my gratitude as a customer of Citizens Bank, and as a follow-up to my letter dated XX/XX/XXXX regarding my auto loan account. As requested, the first letter was sent via snail mail. In the letter, I requested that an item posted to my credit report be reversed as a one-time courtesy. I have not received any confirmation of its receipt, an indication that the letter 's contents are being investigated, or a notice of resolution outlining any next steps. 

I want to reiterate my request for a one-time courtesy forgiveness of a 30-day late payment reported to the credit bureaus in XX/XX/XXXX. This was the only time that an adverse report was issued since I have been a customer of Citizens Bank, and it has had a notably detrimental impact on my credit score, reducing it by XXXX points. In addition, this late payment has affected my ability to access credit, obtain lower interest rates, and qualify for mortgage and car refinancing. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, due to financial hardship, I made a partial payment of {$120.00}. This was done to support my parents with bills, which unfortunately meant that XXXX was a month where no payment could be made. On XX/XX/XXXX, I experienced further financial difficulty when my car caught a flat tire and the battery died. Due to the provisions of my insurance policy, I would have to reach a {$1000.00} deductible before financial assistance could be had. To this end, I had to purchase new tires and pay for the towing of my car. I have included a XXXX XXXX receipt and text messages that show communication with the towing company XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ) on that day. I have also included the receipt from XXXX XXXX. 

Despite this, I had previously maintained a record of on-time payments. To make up for the other partial payments, I made three payments in XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX for {$260.00} ; XX/XX/XXXX for {$260.00} ; and XX/XX/XXXX for {$260.00}, bringing my account to current. 

I understand my financial duties, and if it were not for the costs associated with towing and new tire installation, I would have maintained an outstanding repayment history. Regretfully, I made a misstep in falling behind. This does not demonstrate my creditworthiness and commitment to paying my debts. It would be greatly appreciated if you could afford me another opportunity and make a goodwill adjustment to erase the late payment.

I appreciate your consideration, and I hope you will grant my request.

On XX/XX/2023, I made a purchase from XXXX, acquiring a laptop. Upon receiving it, I discovered a defect with noticeable lines on the screen. In response, I promptly initiated a return. However, XXXX unexpectedly closed my account and remained unresponsive to my attempts to seek resolution via emails. 

Subsequently, I filed a claim through XXXX to reclaim the funds associated with the purchase. After a two-month process, the claim was unexpectedly closed. Despite my attempts to provide additional information for resolution, XXXX cited XXXX as a hindrance and asserted that the claim couldn't be reopened. 

This situation is perplexing as no request for supplementary information was communicated during the course of the claim. I possess pertinent evidence, including the receipt and tracking information, which was not considered in the claim closure decision. 

This erratic handling of the case by both XXXX and XXXX has left me in an unjust predicament, and I am compelled to file a complaint with the CFPB to seek a fair and equitable resolution to this matter. I believe that the procedural irregularities and lack of communication merit a thorough investigation to ensure consumer rights are protected.
