Consumer complaint received 2020-07-28 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2020 I saw an offer on XXXX for an XXXX Mastercard ( offered by Synchrony Bank ) I believed to be very generous. " Receive a {$150.00} credit if {$500.00} is spent on XXXX in a 30 day period. Account must be opened between XX/XX/2020 and XX/XX/2020. Find out if you are approved in seconds ''. As a regular XXXX user and member I completed the online application to the final entry which asked for a phone number. A code would then be given for me to enter in the final part of the application. After providing a phone number, that code never came. After waiting a while I clicked on " cancel this step ''. 
A pop up then stated I would receive notification in 7-10 days, obviously outside of the promotional window. 
I then called customer service. They acknowledged receipt of my application and would review if I could hold for 3 minutes. A representative ( XXXX ) came back and told me they would send a call with the code and then call me after that to retrieve the code. I never received a call and had to go off to work. 3 hours later on break I tried customer service once again. I was told to hold for 3 minutes. The representative came back saying my application was sent to review and there was nothing they could do to help. I had asked if I would receive the promo offer and she said " most likely not ''. 
With a small window of time to open the account ( XXXX ) any applications not approved immediately would have no way of receiving the promotion. I suspect others were having this same issue and perhaps not just an innocent glitch in the system. My credit score is immaculate and there would be no reason for Synchrony to be leery of offering me credit.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2020 I received a copy of my Barclays Mastercard statement marketed under the name XXXX mastercard due to its affiliation with XXXX XXXX On XX/XX/2020 I wrote a check payable to XXXX Mastercard for {$2100.00} which they received and cashed on XX/XX/2020. 

My bank account was debited the {$2100.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Barclays bank XXXX mastercard only credited {$21.00} on my statement as the payment made. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from XXXX Mastercard saying that I had shortpaid my account and my account needed immediate attention. I called them right away and discovered their error. The man I spoke with gave me a case number XXXX. 
He was to forward this information along with the copy of my check to the investigation team who would correct the error right away. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called into the customer service department who advised me that they would not be processing any paperwork on my account for at least 2 billing cycles. I explained that this was unacceptable as I have paid the funds from my account which is no longer their and I do not have the credit applied to my statement. Waiting 60-90 days for a response seems highly unethical and against what any reasonable person should expect to endure. I was told that the call would be escalated and I would hear from a manager in a few days. They also gave me a fax number to send my inquiry to as well as a mailing address to which I have expressed by concern and disappointment in how I was being treated as a customer. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called in for a status update and spoke to a person who was struggling to communicate in English however managed to express that they once again would not be responding to the investigation to at least 2 more billing cycles. 

I believe that as a consumer this is horrible practice. If we the consumers had not made timely payments we would be punished with derrogatory remarks and poor credit reporting history, however when these banks act badly and against the consumer they seems to get away with it with impunity. I have never missed a payment and I am a good and loyal customer however I am being treated unfairly and unethically as they are hiding behind a massive corporate structure and refuse to correct my account and their error for an unreasonable amount of time if they correct it at all. In essence they have stolen my money and refuse to either provide a credit to my account nor return it. Waiting 60-90 days for an expected response is unreasonable and I formally request that the CFPB investigate and request some answers. 
Thank you

Complaint narrative:
I have a collection on my account from XXXX XXXX total amount was {$3000.00}. I logged into my case online on XXXX and was offered to settle for one discounted payment of {$2000.00} to which I accepted and made the payment. I have attached screenshots of both the offer, me submitting the payment and the payment clearing my account. XXXX updated my credit report to show that now a current balance of {$1000.00} remains and is in collections, rather than showing a {$0.00} balance & closed/settled for less than full balance or just altogether deleted from my credit report. 

I filed a dispute through experian.com on XXXX in which I provided the same screenshots provided with this complaint showing the settlement offer and my payment being made and cleared. However, today, XXXX, I just received notice that my dispute results were ready and that the information reported is accurate. However, it is NOT accurate and I provided evidence to that fact and now and am unable to dispute the debt again online.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
Im currently receiving unemployment benefits In Nevada and they use Bank of America for the debit cards they assign us. I looked at my account today XX/XX/XXXX and noticed 4 fraudulent charges to my account, three in the amount of {$99.00} and one for {$1.00} all charges to XXXX. My account is now over drafted by {$160.00}. I called and filed a dispute for the fraudulent charges and they told me it could take up to 90 days and they cant stop charges or send me a new card because my account is negative. Now Im worried when my new benefits post in the next day or so new fraudulent charges could go through and also {$160.00} will instantly be deducted from my unemployment benefits unfairly to me. Bank of America said they were aware of fraudulent charges happening to peoples accounts from uphold.com why werent we as consumers warned of this possibly happening. Im extremely frustrated because I will now be out several hundred dollars till whenever Bank of America decides to finish my fraudulent claim.
