Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I opened a store credit card with Rooms to Go by Synchrony Bank. In XXXX with zero percent interest for 4 or 5 years. I paid the minimum payments according to my pay period which resulted in late fees being assessed to the account. These late fees were put in a seperate interest of 29.99 %. Even though the account was being paid down Synchrony routinely lowered my credit limit to adversely affect my credit so it would appear as though I was not paying down the credit card though I was. In XX/XX/XXXX I believe, ONE of my payments was returned by my bank resulting in me missing a payment. Synchrony immediately closed the account, giving me no access to the credit limit and it was removed as an account on my credit report. However, Synchrony has continued to assess my account late fees like it is still an active account. When I questioned Synchrony as to why I am being billed late fees on a closed account they essentially said that they are still sending me a billing statement and I have the choice to pay the balance in full. This should not be legal. They chose to close the account to adversely affect my credit, yet are continuing to bill and assess my account fees as though it is still open to their benefit. This should be illegal and not permitted. I am aware that I am still responsible for the balance, which is why I continued paying it. On one hand they continue to send billing statements, the balances accrue interest and I'm assess late fees when the payments aren't received by the " due date ''. Yet on my credit this account is closed and reflects adversely due to Synchrony reporting the 1 missed payment. How can an account be closed yet they are generating a billing statement for a none existent billing cycle/period and non due date? I need this company to be held accountable. They can not adversely affect my credit by reporting this account late by 30 days, then closing the account. Then afterwards for them to continue to bill and charge my account fees as they were when it was open. Completely insane and unconscionable.

Complaint narrative:
I was notified XX/XX/XXXX about my server loan company XXXX will be notified about the case resolved with sweets vs Cardona This means my student loans will be deleted per my school-involved American XXXX university and that I will no longer have to make payments to the loan server to where my account was transferred from XXXX  most recently. XXXX as the new server will remove all debts owed and shown on file to notify all credit bureaus about the news from the case mentioned above to remove such notices and amounts shown on my credit report. Therefore, once the cr bureau is notified my score is to increase as it never did before with the existing student loans on file. I never owed this outrageous amount. Charges in interest by DEPT OF EDU. My father had died as a militant man and I had a parent loan which he paid. Someone changed my student loan to a single loan from a parent loan and I learned that you can not do such a thing to any student. Besides that, the school XXXX convinced me and other students ( while other schools are involved ) that I/we will make over a certain amount like XXXX working in our graduate field. Bigotry was also a part of the school 's lack of integrity and advertising to gain loyalty. Upon my father 's death, he made sure my loans were paid in advance. The school then charged erroneous payments for out-of-state fees and dorm fees, which I was in a state with a driver 's license and address in Georgia where I lived in and out of the dorm but merely, but I was overcharged at XXXX a year for XXXX yrs when my father had paid the bill before me graduating. Nevertheless, I completed the XXXX Borrowers defense application in XX/XX/XXXX ordered by President Biden. This announcement also affected the sweets vs Cardona case win and resolution on XX/XX/XXXX! I also mailed you a letter from dept of Edu! And called you last 2 weeks ago.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Capital One said they could not find any information at the credit bureaus and therefore could not make a decision so they denied me credit. The problem with this is that a credit report does exist, XXXX XXXX said I had a good chance at receiving this card, yet XXXX XXXX continues their financial slavery, XXXX  me commercially, XXXX  me financially to the point I can not obtain my constitutional rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 

Capital one 's reason to denial of credit is inconclusive and really does not define the real reason for denying credit. How can I live if I can not find a place because I am denied credit? How can I live if I have no utilities because I am denied credit?
