Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I traveled to JC Penny to pay {$1000.00} towards my {$1400.00} balance. 
I was so excited that I was finally making progress towards paying my credit card off. The clerk was happy for me as well, after making the {$1000.00} cash payment I left JC Penny feeling happy. It was after I checked my email that day that my smile vanished in an instance. That email was from Synchrony Bank whom I've filed a complaint against in 2014. This recent email stated I had not paid my JC Penny credit card and that I was being charged a late fee. Livid I immediately contacted Synchrony bank, I was given the runaround by several agents. I was told the {$1000.00} payment went towards my Master Card. I was shocked to say the least because I never applied for any Master Card with JC Penny. Synchrony bank opened a Master Card in my name without my permission. As a former victim of Identity theft I am very, very hurt by Synchrony banks action. This situation has caused me a tremendous amount of stress. it is my opinion that I am being discriminated against because of my race. I am very, very hurt by the discriminatory business practices by Synchrony bank, I would like this company to be investigated for stealing my identity and opening up a Master Card without my knowledge. I want answers
