Consumer complaint received 2025-09-05 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I've been on the phone getting passed back and forth from Venmo to Synchrony Bank for hours this morning ( XX/XX/year>XXXX  ). 

I went to close my Venmo account and received a pop up saying " You have a Venmo Credit Card application in progress. Before closing your account, you need to contact Synchrony Bank and cancel it. '' I contacted Synchrony Bank and was told that they have no record of this application. I asked them to call Venmo to tell them this since Venmo 's system says there is an open application. Synchrony was on hold with Venmo for so long that they put me in a queue to receive a call back from Venmo. Synchrony told me that once I got Venmo on the line that Venmo could call Synchrony back with me, and that Venmo had the phone number and extension to reach Synchrony. 

When Venmo called me back I asked them to call Synchrony, as instructed by Synchrony. Venmo customer service refused to do this, saying that they don't have the number to call Synchrony and that I would need to call Synchrony on my own.

I asked to speak to a Venmo supervisor. The supervisor said she would help, but instead dumped me back in the Synchrony main customer service line. Synchrony once again told me to contact Venmo because they don't have a record of my application.

At this point I believe that Venmo fraudulently took my information to open a credit account at Synchrony, but did not actually transmit the information to open the account. Venmo 's refusal to assist me is suspicious, and I'm concerned that my personal and credit information was used by Venmo for something other than a credit application.

I can't get Venmo on the phone to discuss this with them, and they do not have an email or other way to submit this written complaint.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
