Consumer complaint received 08/17/2015 about Credit card () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: My complaint is with Synchrony Bank and their Walmart credit card services. I had not received a billing statement yet, but I had wanted to start making payments, so I called the phone number on the back of the card. I was told I could pay that day, that my payment due date would be the XXXX of every month and that my minimum payment would be {$25.00}. I made my payment for that billing cycle on XXXX XXXX for {$26.00}. For the last week and a half, I have been getting constant phone calls informing me that I never paid my bill. I had posted my payment online on XXXX XXXX and the money was removed from my account XXXX XXXX. The first person I spoke to about this incident informed me that I had posted a payment on XXXX XXXX but that it never went through. I have iron clad bank statement proof that it was removed from my account for " Walmart Card Services. '' After numerous confusing phone calls to Synchrony, I was informed that I made my payment too early and therefore, it did not count towards that particular statement. I am being charged a late fee, plus a back payment, plus another late fee and a negative impact on my credit report. Out of all of that, they only agreed to remove XXXX late fee, when there should be no late fees and no extra payments needed. No one should be penalized for making a payment too early and that is exactly what is being done. I doubt that I am the first person to experience something so absolutely ridiculous, but I never the less, feel that this should be brought to your attention. This is a blatant example of how hard working, honest citizens end up with nothing. I want the late fees removed. I want the negative impact this has made on my credit report righted, and above all else, I want this to never happen to anyone else, ever. How is it legal to punish individuals for repaying a portion of debt too early? If this is legal, I would like to know under what statutes of law immediately. Synchrony and Walmart should be ashamed of themselves.

Consumer complaint received 12/31/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (NY).
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Complaint: I had a promotional balance that was to expire on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX I asked that payment beyond the minimum payment due on the entire account be applied to the promotional balance as I was not aware that you have to ask them to do this. They began to deduct the excess over the minimum payment from the promo balance. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I had a remaining balance on the promotion of {$99.00} and a minimum payment due of {$67.00}. I paid them {$170.00} on this date. I also made an additional payment of {$100.00} on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to pay down my overall balance. I went to do my year end financial review and found that they had charged me {$240.00} for interest on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX even though my normal interest amount is around {$40.00}. When I called them they told me that they took part of my payment for the promo and applied it to my general balance. I stated I have the letter that indicates that 100 % of the excess payment goes to the and was told that the letters were not accurate that they send out. They did say they would immediately take the XXXX charge off my bill but this has not happened yet. This is total fraud in my opinion.

Consumer complaint received 02/23/2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (GA).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: On or about XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received a call from someone identifying himself as being from the Bank of America fraud investigation department, inquiring about some " suspicious '' charges to my account. He asked if I had used my debit card in California or knew anyone there, or if anyone else had access to my banking credentials. I told him that I did n't know anyone in California and did n't believe anyone had access to my account, but that it was possible my father did XXXX I later confirmed that he did not ). I then clarified to say my father had my account and routing number to facilitate transfers into my account. He said there were some suspicious charges on my account and that he " did n't like my answers '' and because of that, he was immediately closing my account. When I asked why, he replied " I do n't have to give you a reason ''. That was it. 
On XXXX XXXX, I went to the local BoA branch to try to find out what happened. They printed out a list of all of my activity from the previous three months. I noted that there were XXXX transactions in the amount of either {$1.00} or {$1.00}, all occurring on XXXX XXXX. They were all clearly marked as " XXXX '' and showed a billing address in California. I did in fact make those donations to a XXXX broadcaster that I follow during one of their live feeds. Obviously, those were the transactions that their investigator was calling about, but he never mentioned XXXX or the amounts and since I did not know that XXXX was located in California, I did not make the connection. 
I also learned during my visit to the branch on the XXXX that my account was flagged in such a way that I was not allowed to open another account at Bank of America and I have since learned that his report could prevent me from opening accounts at ANY bank. 
I did nothing wrong or even suspicious. I was called out of the blue, awoken by one of BoA 's inadequately trained investigators asking vague questions, who made a snap and incorrect judgment. I was then told that he did not have to give his reasons or any justification at all for his decision.
