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

Complaint narrative:
I received a credit card associated with promotional rate ( no interest ) if paid off within 18 months. I made payments that were substantially more than the minimum payment. No credit was applied to the minimum payment for the next month. The company charged me a late fee when a minimum payment would not be due. They did remove the charge from my account when I called and insisted. During the call the customer agent told me that I had to specify in my payment to pay off the late fee. The late payment was listed on my bill as a promotional fee, but on the customer agent screen she states that it was listed as a late fee. Synchrony is  charging a late fee in spite of a payment made that would cover the minimum payment for the next 3 months. They are cheating unsuspecting customers with a bogus late fee when they should not be charging a late fee due to a previous substantial payment. The late fee should be listed as a late fee. I made a payment on the XX/XX/XXXX of the month and the customer agent told me that my payment was late despite making a payment early on the XX/XX/XXXX of the month before. The scheduled payments are made on the XX/XX/XXXX of the month. They are attempting to charge a late fee even when additional payments are made to the account and a payment falls after the stated due date. I closed this account. I hate credit card companies who nickel and dime customers attempting to pay off these accounts ahead of time. Consumers should be warned about these predatory practices from Synchrony.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My credit limit was automatically decreased by Synchrony without notification increasing my ratio of used credit vs available credit and impacting my credit score.  Their site offers alerts for any issues or upcoming payments, but I was never notified of an issue even though I signed up upon approval. When speaking with their representative they cited reasons that would have been readily available to them when my application was initially processed as the reason for my limit decrease. If that was the reasoning my limit should never have been falsely inflated at the time of application. This is a predatory company that counts on people spending credit that will simply be taken away within a few months of opening the account regardless of the account standing or payments received.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Navient is my loan servicer for loans taken out in XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. They most recently failed to inform me that my loans were being transferred to usa funds. I am currently waiting to start XXXX school in XX/XX/XXXX. Everything was fine and up to date, I had been awarded federal pell grant. And then just a couple weeks ago XX/XX/XXXX to be exact my loans were declared in default. I 'm a single mother who attended a fraudulent for profit art college. I 've just recently filed for borrower defense loan forgiveness. But I 'm aware of the fact that this current administration has n't stood up to their responsibility to help us students that have been defrauded. Dept of education collected millions of dollars from my school for fraud and they are still holding me responsible for the debt. So it 's a win win for them. Ok so I 'm waiting for that to go through. But in the mean time I had my federal funding pulled for XXXX school because Navient was trying to pull the wool over my eyes. I obviously would n't have defaulted knowingly since I have school starting in XX/XX/XXXX. So XX/XX/XXXX default, and Navient reps are saying there is nothing they can do I have to deal only with collections. Collections only wants their money and if I am unable to make outrageously high payments to them before XX/XX/XXXX they will add 25 % of total loan amounts on to existing loans further compounding my problem. They do n't even consider income sensitive payment option. Let me say this again, I 'm a single mother raising XXXX XXXX trying to go to school, fulfill a dream and make our lives better. I work waiting tables but my XXXX program suggests we not work or work very little. So without funding from my pell grant I am finished. I worked for years on prerequisites for XXXX. Never taking out loans or taking federal money. And now navient declared me in default because I was unaware they were transferring loans has sealed my fate. And right before school starts. I do n't know if I even have time to get this worked out. But navient has fraudulent shady practices on top of my for profit college taking advantage of me just adds insult to injury. I 'm at a loss.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to use my Southwest Rapid Rewards VISA card and was told that it had been blocked by Chase Bank due to fraudulent activity. I called in at that time and identified all of the questionable charges as legitimate, as I was in the process of moving and one of the charges was for the moving company and the other was for a lunch I had taken a fellow who had helped me pack. I explained to the agent at that time that I was in the process of moving and the block on my account was lifted. This morning ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I attempted to purchase office supplies from XXXX XXXX, a company that I regularly do business with and had ordered supplies that I usually include with an online order. I received an e-mail this morning from XXXX XXXX after I had completed the transaction online that the transaction was declined and shortly thereafter received an e-mail from Southwest Rapid Rewards Visa ( Chase Bank ) that two transactions had been blocked ; the transaction with XXXX XXXX and a transaction with XXXX XXXX XXXX for the rental of a unit I have with them. I have leased this space for three years and each month on the XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX of the month XXXX XXXX XXXX places a charge for the monthly rent. I later called Southwest Rapid Rewards VISA ( Chase Bank ) and verified that both of these charges were legitimate. I was told that the block on my card had again been lifted. I then questioned why a ) a charge that was recurrent every month had been blocked ( and clearly was legitimate ) and b ) why a charge to a merchant that I regularly do business with for items that I regularly purchase online was blocked. I then got passed from department to department with no clear answer being given. Several minutes later I called XXXX XXXX to ask them to resubmit the transaction on the Southwest Rapid Rewards VISA and they told me the account was still blocked ( in spite of the fact Chase Bank had previously told me they had lifted the block on the account ).

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I got an email from capital one saying that I should use my credit card or else they would close it because it was not being used. So, I promptly went ahead and used the card when I went to fill up gas. I had not used the card in a bit as I had lost it while moving and never seen it since. I had also gone into a branch in the interim and they had promised me that they had sent out a card. 

I went to the grocery store today, and my card did not work! On the screen came up something that said DO NOT HONOUR. I was really embarrassed and felt like a criminal. 


Then I called in tonight ( XX/XX/XXXX ) andt he reo said my card d d not work because I had missed a payment which was of course not true. After being questioned over it, the rep admitted hat it probably had nothing to do with that and said the card was closed due to inactivity.
