Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, Bank of America took {$580.00} from my savings/transfers account. I called multiple times to get more information as to why, however, that did not resolve anything. I was promised I would get a check in 15 days for the amount taken in the mail but that never happened. I never received the check. I called again after the 15 days to let them know, and they told me they would cancel the check and instead transfer the money directly to my account in 10 business days. I have the information regarding this phone call. I waited, however the money was never transferred to me. The Bank of America customer service has been nothing but a nightmare to resolve this issue that is still ongoing.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I got a notice about my Synchrony Lowe 's Credit Card, with my monthly statement this month, that said " Starting within the next 60 days, a {$1.00} paper statement fee will be charged to your account each month you are sent a paper billing statement with a balance greater than {$2.00} ( even if one is also provided to you in electronic form ). You can avoid this fee if you set up paperless statements and are sent your statement only in electronic form. '' My question is this : How is that legal? Doesn't that violate the Card Act? 

The Card Act says that consumers must have access to their statements, and those statements must show their interest rate and how long it will take to pay off their statement paying only the minimum monthly payment. If I log into my online portal through my Synchrony Lowe 's Credit Card the Account summary only shows my balance. It does NOT show my interest or how long it will take me to pay off my card. In order to get to my online statement I have to click in several places to even see that. And I know my login and have a computer. What about someone who isn't computer literate or who doesn't have a computer? Are they even able to get to their statement online? What about through their app? Can you even see a statement through their app? 

Postage, paper and an envelop do not cost {$1.00}. A regular stamp costs around {$0.00} right now, and paper if bought it bulk- which I assume Synchrony does, costs less than a XXXX a page ( {$0.00} ). 

This to me seems like a way for Synchrony to be less transparent with consumers, more predatory and give consumers less information and fewer rights.
