Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
Below are the list of CFPB complaints dating back to XXXX XXXX that all revolve around the same problem. I have not been able to pay either my PayPal Credit and PayPal Mastercard online since that time. There was a period of time I was able to pay the Mastercard online and mail checks for the Credit account. This ended when PayPal/Synchrony updated their systems at the end of XXXX. PayPal was not sending me paper bills for the Mastercard during this time. The automatic payments that were consistently being made on time were being rejected by PayPal/Synchrony. I did not receive a paper bill for months. Due the the failure to mail bills there were numerous late fees and compounded interest charges. Today is XXXX XXXX XXXX and I have not received the bill that is due on XXXX XXXX XXXX With the current state of our postal system, this bill will more than likely be returned late. I am not at fault for bills not sent or bills that are lost/delayed by the postal system, yet I am not authorized to charge PayPal/Synchrony a late fee. They will definitely charge me one! Along with PayPal/Synchrony refusing to identify and repair the issues in their system, I am unable to pay by way of phone. The payment is rejected in the same manner as online payments. I have repeatedly stated I would pay with my debit card, but they state they are unwilling to resolve the matter that way. Now, along with PayPal/Synchrony's greedy payment policies, they have the audacity to add a XXXXXXXX  monthly "paper billing" charge!  They have had SIX YEARS to fix a problem to only add insult to injury. 

As I stated above, I should not be penalized for the inefficiency of the postal system. They were paid to deliver an item to me in XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX. It traveled to XXXX  where it stayed for ten days before spending a day in XXXX  then to me two days later. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
