Consumer complaint received 2023-01-25
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (TX)

Complaint:
Synchrony Bank closed 5 of my accounts with them this past fall. All 5 accounts had XXXX balances. 4 of the 5 closed accounts had been active within 90 days prior to closing. None had ever had a single late payment and all had relatively healthy credit limits, a few of which had very been recently raised by Synchrony ( mere days before closure ), demonstrating my credit worthiness, according to their own criteria. My one remaining account with Synchrony, a XXXX issued credit card, has since had a credit limit increase. Again, this demonstrates the creditor 's endorsement of my credit worthiness. 

My credit score at the time of closure by Synchrony was hovering in the XXXX range and showed 100 % on time payments across ALL accounts of record. My job has not changed in 8.5 years, though my income has increased steadily over that time. My debt to income ratio at the time of closure was at its all time best.

In addition to the closure, I had rewards points accumulated on my Synchrony Bank issued XXXX. All points were wiped out with their unilateral closure of that account and I was told they were forfeited upon closure. This is unacceptable and Synchrony Bank has been sued in California for this very practice ( and lost ). If they are not going to honor their rewards points agreements, what good is having a rewards card? 

I have recently discovered online hundreds of other similar complaints by consumers for similar closures or unwarranted lowering of debtors ' credit limits by Synchrony bank, demonstrating a pattern of bad faith practices on the part of this creditor. This practice makes it difficult for consumers to maintain high/optimal credit scores when their accounts are arbitrarily closed by the creditor with no explanation or warning. They must be reigned in from continuing this practice. What is the government prepared to do about this on behalf of consumers everywhere?

Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly.

My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.
