Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, On XX/XX/XXXX, I made my US Tax return payments using PayPal Credit for the amount {$6500.00}, which involved a {$120.00} fee. At the time, the credit balance displayed on my account was {$6600.00}, which should have been enough to cover both transactions. 

I made this payment through my PayPal Credit account but for some reason, PayPal decided to charge my XXXX credit card instead of the Paypal Credit account, which I never authorized. The only reason I used PayPal here was to make use of the 6-month no interest offer on $ XXXX purchases. 

Charging my XXXX credit card meant that I owe {$6500.00} on my credit card by XX/XX/XXXX instead of XX/XX/XXXX ( if it had been charged to PayPal Credit ). This is costing me XXXX of dollars now, in having to pay my XXXX balance of {$6500.00}. 

I reached out to PayPal & requested them to either redirect this transaction to my PayPal Credit account instead of my XXXX card or provide me a credit of {$120.00} ( the additional convenience fee I had to pay my merchant to use PayPal ).

PayPal provided multiple excuses ( whose documentation is attached here ). Their excuses are varied and ranged all the way through the XXXX  from : ( a ) alleged that I made the transaction twice when I made only one transaction, ( b ) alleged that there were security concerns due to which the transaction was declined by PayPal Credit & routed to my XXXX card without my authorization, ( c ) alleged that I did not have a sufficient credit balance in my PayPal Credit account. 

All of the above reasons are false & the fact still remains that I never provided explicit authorization to use my XXXX credit card. I've attached all the documentation in this complaint below.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX  : Knowingly Reporting To All Three Credit Bureaus Fraudulent Account Status, Balance, Payment etc. Information. 

As you can see from the attachment XXXX XXXX XXXX  is reporting my last payment was XX/XX/XXXX and the account was closed/charged off with a balance of {$850.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. 

The supporting documentation completely contradicts their claims. As you see XX/XX/XXXX they accepted a payment, XX/XX/XXXX I could go to my online account to view my statement. Now the balance is paid they have suspended my account and reporting that the account is closed/charged off with a balance of {$850.00}. This inaccurate and negative remarks have adversely effected my credit score all while taking my payments. 

Please investigate this illegal activity and remove this misinformation from my report.
