Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment on my Amazon card. On XX/XX/XXXX I paid the balance in full prior to the XX/XX/XXXX statement date. On XX/XX/XXXX Synchrony incorrectly, negligently applied a {$7.00} Interest charge to my account. According to my records it was paid off to XXXX  because it was. Adding insult to injury I contracted Covid the end of XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX 2 times ) I am only advising of that because I wasnt even in the position to monitor this. So I couldnt have stopped what synchrony was about to do to me. They reported me 30 days late to all credit bureaus, they decreased my available credit line. This has majorly and unfairly damaged my credit. I spoke with 3 reps at synchrony the first one immediately removed the now {$9.00} interest fee. I then spoke to a rep who was wonderful she apologized profusely and acknowledged the incorrect reporting, but an apology can not fix this fast enough for me to be able to trade my car in. Synchronys reps, although acknowledging the mistake, can not resolve it today nor can they advise a time frame. I have a XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX I am an American with a XXXX. I am XXXX XXXX XXXX on SSD I have limited income and I have worked so hard to keep my credit up, to build it so I could buy a new car and synchrony single handedly ruined this. Although this is being escalated within the bank there is no resolution for repair. I have had help handling this, but what about other XXXX people who dont have help who wouldnt have realized this, this shouldnt have happened to me and I am submitting this in hopes I can even help this from happening to one more person. They charged interest that wasnt owed, they reported me 30 days late and possibly 60 ( they arent sure if that will hit yet ) and they lowered my available credit affecting my credit card usage. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
