Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Care Credit under Symphony Bank Each time you your card they allow you to choose a pay back time frame. In most cases, 6-12 months. If you do not back in that time frame you are given compounded interest. If you use your card 5 times for example, you will get compounded interested in one lump sum for a year. In my case, I had {$6400.00} in debt and they hit me with {$2500.00} in interest in XXXX of XXXX. 

Overall this interest rate scam they have going is crippling to most loaners. As we use this card to offset XXXX  and XXXX  bills which arent always covered. I used mine to pay XXXX  and XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I do not think these interest rates are fair or necessary. Another example of abuse and greed. There should be reasonable limits to what these creditors are allowed to charge

I am writing to express my concerns about Zelles transaction process and the risks it poses to consumers.

Complaint narrative:
I was trying to buy a pair of limited-edition sneakers online for $ XXXX deal that seemed too good to pass up. The seller had a clean website, flashy photos, and even a fake secure checkout badge, so I went ahead and placed my order. But as soon as the payment went through, I stopped hearing from them. Days turned into weeks with no shipping confirmation or responses to my emails. When I reached out to my bank, hoping theyd reverse the transaction, they said there was nothing they could do because I authorized the payment. It was a hard lesson in online scams and how some banks can leave you feeling helpless when things go wrong.
