Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Annual fee for the Citi Premier card posted on XX/XX/XXXX for {$95.00} for second year of card ownership. I called Citi in EARLY XXXX within days of the annual fee posting to downgrade my card to a {$0.00} annual fee Citi Custom Cash card and was told that I would be getting a FULL refund of the annual fee. That was not the case as I was only recently credited the amount of {$79.00} on XX/XX/2023, MONTHS after the fee posted. This is contrary to what was promised, and I should be owed {$15.00} plus interest as Citi had held the funds for nearly two months. This is unacceptable and deceptive business practices.

Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I have an account listed on my credit as Toyota Motor Credit with a reported balance of {$310.00}. I was in a severe hit and run car accident that hospitalized me and totaled my car back in 2017. At the time of the accident I did have Gap insurance that covered the total cost of the car loan of {$17000.00}. As of today on my credit there is still a reflecting balance of {$310.00}. I have reached out to Toyota Motor Credit on numerous occasions of an explanation of how I still owe {$310.00}, I can never get to a representative and the few times I did get a hold of someone I constantly get transferred and everyone that I am transferred to says they don't see a balance and this account was closed however this is still showing on my credit report. but the GAP insurance sent this company a check. There should be no balance left on the loan because this is paid. I did everything on my end with the GAP insurance company after I got from the hospital to get this vehicle paid in full. I am asking the company of Toyota to fix this on my credit report as paid in full. I want to go back to toyota to purchase a vehicle but this {$310.00} balance is hindering this.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I opened a care credit account for dental work. The account was supposed to be interest free if the account was paid within the promotional period. I subsequently had additional dental work done, each with a new promotional period. Synchrony bank arbitrarily applied the payments to whatever promotion they wanted and paid off more recent activity prior to older activities. This action and deceptive practice threw the first promotion into expiration and I was subsequently charged over XXXX $ in back interest. I was not made aware of where synchrony was applying payments or given an opportunity to rectify the situation. Synchrony care credit is sets you up for programmed default then slams you with steep interest fees without even giving you the opportunity to know where your payments are being applied. They are deceptive, uncooperative and fall back on some boiler plate terms that in the end XXXX you over.
