Complaint narrative:
Im honestly stumped. Regardless of how many times I claim to be the individual writing this letter it seems this message is truly missed. For the record, Im the one whos initiating these disputes under my name. This item is UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming this is fraudulent or of a high risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. Lets get the record straight!!! First of all I know that under Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, Ive never sent my documentation to anyone else which seems to be a claim that constitutes high-risk due to potential fraud. According to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute IsFrivolous or irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. ( B ) Notice of determination.

Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15U.S.C. 1681o ] a person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony Bank XX/XX/XXXX : after not receiving a notice for payment, i made the payment and asked to be put on autopay. 

My autopay should be approximately XXXX. I have always paid XXXX -- XXXX dollars more each month for over 24 months. 

On XX/XX/XXXX Synchrony Bank withdrew {$3800.00} dollars from my bank account and closed the account. That had paid it in full. We had a balance just over {$1000.00}. The bank has an account that paid {$2700.00}. That account charges fees and interest. 

I called my bank to have them cancel the incorrect withdrawal. Because it was Synchrony, they could not do that. They suggested I contact Synchrony. At first I could not log in because my account was closed. I found a way around that. After much searching, I found a number to call. 

Call 1 : The person I reached told me it would be 7 - 10 business days to return our money. 

I went to their XXXX  site and saw where people were leaving comments about the same or similar thing happening to them. I left a message on there. 

A person called me and told me she would try to expedite the return because we had {$36.00} to last us in to XXXX. She said that it was a " SYSTEM ISSUE '' and we should get our money back in 14 days. She gave me a phone number with extension and her hours. Repeated calls have not been returned. 

I have had about 6 messages under their HELP section. The responses I have gotten back are almost form letters. They say it will be 7 - 10 days, and the latest ones say it will take at least 2 to 3 weeks. One said the account is closed, so they will have to send us a paper check. 

I have sent information on this to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I learned that they only contact the company and let the company handle it. 

The Synchrony card we have was for our XXXX heatpump. I understand this company owns over XXXX cards such as XXXX, QVC, Lowes, and the topper is Amazon. 

The financial devestation I have experienced has created problems with me mentally as well. Soon the electric company will turn off lights, and the phone company will shut off the phone. We traveled XXXX miles round trip to turn in out cable equipment to stop that autodraft. Our car gets XXXX mpg, gas is about {$3.00} a gallon. If you do the math, and take it out of our XXXX remaining dollars, you get the idea. 

I now know we are not alone. Please get them to handle this quicker. Fine them, suspend them, I do not know ; but action need to happen. 

Synchrony has major problems and has about ruined my family, my credit and since I can not get life saving medicine, they may have killed me. 

I have copies of the messages, my payment history etc but can not attach them currently.
