Consumer complaint received 2024-02-10 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I have a Crate and Barrel credit card which I only use at that store. However, I received an unknown charge and reported it. The bank is Synchrony Bank. They have been really bad in trying to resolve this charge. At first they said they recognized the charge and took my concern of fraud. They told me not to pay that amount ( only {$7.00} ) and cancelled and issued my a new card. Later they sent me an online letter saying the charge was only a pending charge and was not recorded. However, this is not true, it is still on the account and now since I didn't pay it, a late charge was assessed. 

So this is the first part of my complaint that they didn't resolve the fraud charge. Secondly they have been very difficult to deal with. On the phone, they said this was the first they had heard of the fraud even though I have the letter saying they looked at it. Then they said they have no access to fraud information. Then they put me on permanent hold where they never came back to the phone. I then tried to contact someone in chat that tried to tell me the same thing but after persisting they did find the fraud report only to say they did not have a fraud department and I need to call the phone number. I called the phone number on the letter they sent me and those are the people who say they also can not do anything. Then she told me to call back during business hours. 

It is still unresolved. 

They use some system with secure messaging where they never really send you anything but just a link to online messages. After they changed my credit card, all those messages are gone.
