Complaint narrative:
Unauthorized Charge and Unsatisfactory Customer Support from PayPal Credit Card Issued by Synchrony Bank What Happened? 

On XXXX I noticed a charge of {$390.00} on my PayPal credit card, labeled as a " Payment Correction. '' Upon contacting customer support, I was subjected to a series of transfers between departments, disconnects, and misinformation that have left me deeply unsatisfied and concerned about the handling of my account. 

Dates, Amounts, and Actions : XXXX : Discovered the unauthorized charge of {$390.00} on XXXX, labeled as " Payment Correction. '' Multiple Dates : Contacted customer support regarding the claim multiple times, resulting in : - Being hung up on by different departments. 
- Misinformation regarding the nature of the charge, including being told it was related to a balance transfer or a previous payment dispute claim that had already been resolved on XXXX 
- Lack of access to past payments due to a system upgrade, causing further confusion. 

Based on a letter received by the company on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Original payment dispute claim was made for the amount of XXXX XXXX : Claim denied and was charged for the dispute reversal at the same time, leading to confusion regarding the new " Payment Correction '' charge on XXXX  as this is a duplicate charge. 

My Words : I feel utterly betrayed and ignored by PayPal Credit Card and Synchrony Bank 's support team. I approached them in good faith, expecting clarification and assistance with a mysterious charge. Instead, I was subjected to a nightmare of transfers, misinformation, and abrupt hang-ups. The confusion between a 'balance transfer ' and 'payment correction, ' the inability to access previous payment records, and the consistent failure to provide clear answers has left me not only out of pocket but deeply frustrated and distressed. The charge, described as a 'payment correction, ' was tied to a previous payment dispute claim that was already resolved nearly a year ago. The lack of coordination and compassion displayed by their support team was a disheartening experience that seemed designed to wear me down rather than help me. I am seeking the CFPB 's intervention to not only correct this financial mistake but to ensure that no one else has to endure such an infuriating and disheartening experience.

Im writing this today because i have had a credit card account that was closed by discover it.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Removal of Unauthorized Late Payments in Accordance with Applicable Laws Dear [ CFPB AND CREDIT BUREAUS ] Customer Service, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter that requires immediate resolution. I have recently discovered unauthorized late payments on my account, which I believe are in violation of the four laws established to protect consumers ' rights. 

The unauthorized late payments in question occurred and I would like to request their immediate removal from my account in accordance with the following laws : 1. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : This legislation ensures the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information reported by credit reporting agencies. The unauthorized late payments are inaccurately reflecting on my credit report and must be rectified promptly. 

2. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : As a consumer, I am entitled to fair treatment by debt collectors. The unauthorized late payments were not authorized by me and should not have been reported to any credit bureaus. 

3. Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : This act provides protection to consumers in credit transactions by requiring clear disclosure of terms and costs. The unauthorized late payments were not disclosed or agreed upon in any contractual agreement. 

4. Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) : This act safeguards consumers in electronic fund transfers, including unauthorized transactions. The late payments were not authorized by me and therefore should be considered unauthorized electronic transfers. 

I kindly request that you investigate this matter and take the necessary steps to remove the unauthorized late payments from my account and correct any negative impact on my credit score as a result of these inaccuracies. I expect a written confirmation of the actions taken to rectify this situation within 30 days of receiving this letter. 

If necessary, I am prepared to take further action to protect my rights under the aforementioned laws. I hope we can resolve this matter amicably and promptly. 

Please feel free to contact me at [ Phone Number ] or [ Email Address ] to discuss this matter further or to provide any additional information you may require. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a timely resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
