Consumer complaint received 2025-02-04 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Struggling to pay your bill — Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is for Synchrony Bank they service several of my Credit cards over mulitpal accounts. I first noticed on my other consumer accounts they lowered one cards credit limit ( Care credit ) and I kept an eye on that one, however the changes happened after I was married. which has affected my overall credit scores over the last 2 years. I have always made all payments on time until XX/XX/XXXX when our family had some financial hardships. I had planned on making my normal payments and called on XX/XX/XXXX to find out information on the reasons why my Credit limit was lowered and I was suddenly over the limit without being contacted. 
I was unaware of my Credit limit on the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX world elite master card was lowered within maybe {$100.00} of the current balance. I was also unaware that charges were continuing to go through the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  app on my phone I had set my preferred card to my debit card as to not make new Charges on this credit card. I believe the person I spoke with was XXXX? the id number I was giving # XXXX. 
At that time he stated he could no see that statement that was generated for XXXX and offered to refund a late fee, and also transfer me to someone who could help with when my credit limit was lowered. the second person could not help me, and she stated she could not find when or where they lowered my credit limits. Neither could tell me why Charges were alowed to continue to be put through after I was already well over {$100.00} over the limit. 
I said I would like to place a formal complaint she said she could do that and I was going to call back to try and resolve my past due amounts but I would not do so with out knowing why charges were aloud to be processed and when my credit limit was lowered. 
now After XXXX missed payments I received not an explanation or any new information from them. I just received a letter in the mail stating XX/XX/XXXX is the last day for payment of the amount of {$360.00} and basically a threat to take legal action on me with out resolving the requested information. it is a notice of right to cure default. I am more than willing to make payments as I have always, however it is not ok to alow charges to go through on an application when the account is over the limit and then not explain why this occured in the first place and how to prevent it in the future. as well as answers to when my limit was lowered and why? 
Synchrony Bank Continues to ruin my credit score and has cause much damage thus far.

I only wish I would have complained to the right channels sooner.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
This is my final notice regarding your ongoing noncompliance with federal credit reporting laws. I previously disputed the accuracy and legitimacy of several items on my credit report, yet your agency has failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Your violations include : Failure to validate the debt as required under 15 USC 1692g ( Section 809 ( b ) ).

Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request, violating 15 USC 1692c ( Section 805 ( c ) ). Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( Section 806 ). Recently, I received notice that your investigation was complete, but
the disputed accounts remain on my credit report. These accounts are not only inaccurate but were never authorized by me. No valid contract exists, and I have not provided any written consent for the reporting of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681b.
