Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (CA)

Over the past year, I have faced significant challenges with Synchrony Bank regarding their failure to verify my identity, leading to unresolved issues and the unjust handling of my accounts. 

Initially, Synchrony Bank informed me that they could not verify my identity. Following their directions, I completed and submitted the required verification form. When no progress was made for several months, I reached out for an update, only to be told to resubmit the form I had already provided. In an effort to comply with their requests and resolve the issue, I submitted additional documentation, including copies of my Social Security card, drivers license, passport, and utility bills, accompanied by numerous letters explaining my situation. 

Despite these extensive efforts and multiple phone calls aimed at rectifying the issue, I was later informed that I still owed a balance on accounts that were being closed due to the banks ongoing claims of being unable to verify my identity. This situation is particularly troubling as it implies an obligation on my part to settle balances on accounts associated with an identity that Synchrony Bank insists it can not confirm. 

This protracted ordeal has not only caused considerable distress and inconvenience but has also negatively impacted my financial standing. I am seeking the CFPBs assistance in achieving a fair resolution, which would require Synchrony Bank to acknowledge my diligent attempts at verification, clarify the persistent issues surrounding identity verification, and correct any inaccuracies regarding the supposed balances on accounts. 

How Synchrony bank claim I owe them a balance when they can not identify me.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from MOHELA stating that " A forbearance has been placed to postpone payment on some or all of your loans. Forbearances can be a helpful short-term solution, but they can have negative impacts on your account. Carefully read this letter and the XXXX XXXX regarding the status of the forbearance ( XXXX ). '' I did not request this forbearance. On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote in response in the secure messaging service with MOHELA, " I did not request a forbearance on my loans and do not wish to have a Forbearance added to my account. I will be continuing to make payments toward my PSLF counts and want this forbearance removed from my account immediately. If my XXXX payment ( which I will make manually if you are incapable of doing this in a timely manner ) is not counted toward my PSLF counts, I will be force to file a grievance, but I hope that since I did not request this forbearance and it was thrust upon me " in error, '' that will not be necessary. Thank you for removing this unwanted forbearance from my account and I look forward to continuing to make my auto debits for the next XXXX years. XXXX XXXX XXXX '' On XX/XX/XXXX, MOHELA responded, " We apologize for any inconvenience this XXXX have caused. Your request to remove the EXCEPTIONAL DISCRETIONARY forbearance from your account. You will be notified in your online account after it is complete. No action is required by you. '' As of today, this has not been removed. 

I submitted my yearly update for the XXXX employment verification on/around XX/XX/XXXX and on XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, got the results back from the updated counts for the year. MOHELA has not counted a month since the pandemic pause as counting toward XXXX. I have made payments in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I was told that due to their inability to process the return to payments in XXXX, that there was an extension of payment pause through XX/XX/XXXX, so I did not make a payment in XX/XX/XXXX. They also failed to auto-debit in XX/XX/XXXX and I made manual payments in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. My new updated payment counts don't include anything after XX/XX/XXXX. 

Despite making payments in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, they are claiming on my summary of payments that these are " ineligible payments '' because " Deferment or forbearance exists this period - Typically, periods of deferment or forbearance do not qualify. '' Since I have requested this forebearance removed and they are unwilling or incapable of doing so, I am losing out on what should be eligible payments toward XXXX XXXX XXXX. Please help to fix this and force them to do their job. Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX.
