Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I made a Chase Travel purchase {$460.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and should get {$50.00} annual travel credit as part of Chase Sapphire benefits. On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Chase Sapphire customer service twice inquiring about why i did not get the {$50.00} credit, on both occasions were told the charge was not eligible due to the date. After conversation with a manger, he said it should be eligible so submitted an escalated ticket on the issue. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, without getting response after one month, I called customer service again, this time a manager said the date is eligible, it's the charge itself is not eligible. So I asked what about the charge is not eligible, and how to make it eligible next time. She said she does not have the details, all she know is that it's not eligible and they don't need to give me a reason. 

As a consumer, I have the rights to know why a charge is not eligible for the travel credit as promoted - date? Type of charge? Instead of being told " we do not have more information and if you don't have another question, I have to end this call '' - what an attitude from customer service!

Synchrony bank... .missed numerous bills sent to me and have numerous times in the past two years charged XXXX $ fees for bills not received i pay on time, all the time, and accounts such as amazon XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have all charged me XXXX late fees for bills never received. ( supposed to be delivered us mail. ) I've called them but they say they can do so.

Then they up the interest rates after the second time. Unfair. I should've gone to a loan shark. Cheaper rates. As soon as my balance 's are paid in full ( i ALWAYS pay on time ) i will no longer be a customer of synchrony Bank. They are thieves.

Complaint narrative:
I contacted this company XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX for VALIDATION of some accounts which by law I have this right. The company responds back VERIFIED but FAILED to show HOW as I requested all three times. 
My three collections, HOW did you validate? I can say for a fact that I have proof eastern account systems is inaccurate being I have actual proof XXXX was PAID. How was XXXX verified? So how is it exactly these accounts validated? I have a right to know and if this was not done, removal. I have a right to see the contract to each of these companies showing I owe them by terms of a contract with my signature, This is my right to obtain this and this is by law the only way they can be reported on my report.

These XXXX accounts show XXXX in payment history, they show 100 % payments on time but yet CHARGE offs! Law code 15 is code 1679c states ALL INACCURATE ACCOUNTS ARE TO BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY! I asked to validate XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX  also to a simple valid. How was this validated? 

When I questioned inquiries I was IGNORED. I called each of these companies and they have no record of me and told me to contact the reporting agency, so why am I being ignored? Who is XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX.
