Consumer complaint received 2024-02-04 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Synchrony Bank to find out how my last payment was applied. In XX/XX/XXXX I made two payments totaling {$680.00}. I have a promotional balance that is set to expire in XXXX of XXXX. The original purchase amount was {$740.00} made in XX/XX/XXXX. I was informed that {$160.00} of the {$680.00} was applied to this promotion. I assumed the majority of the overpayment ( {$520.00} ) would go to the promotional balance. I spoke to agent XXXX who indicated that {$360.00} dollars of my payment was allocated to a promotional balance that expired on XX/XX/XXXX. The original purchase amount was {$740.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. {$360.00} of the {$520.00} was allocated towards this. She also indicated that I had two additional promotional balances that expired that I was not aware of. The first was a purchase of {$260.00} on XX/XX/XXXX with a current balance of {$32.00}. The second was a purchase of {$490.00} with a current balance of {$130.00}. I have made numerous purchases throughout the years including XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX in which none of the promotions expired. This would be after the consumer protection laws changed. XXXX XXXX indicated that all payments are applied to the oldest expired promotions first. If that were the case, then there is no way that I should still have a balance from the XX/XX/XXXX purchase. I requested the statements from the three promotional balances ( XXXX, and the two in XXXX ) as the statement did not indicate that the promotions expired and the capitalized interest was added on any of the promotions. It should be noted that last months minimum payment was {$160.00}. I paid the additional payment of {$520.00}. I neglected to ask what the balance is on the XX/XX/XXXX purchase that theyre claiming expired on XX/XX/XXXX. I have made all of the required payments on time which has resulted in this bank collecting thousands of dollars in interest. The concern is that those promotions did not have to expire as enough money was collected to pay them in full on time. This complaint is about a PC Richard Credit Card that is managed by Sychrony Bank.

Complaint narrative:
RE : CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICES | ACCOUNT : XXXX  I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a debt collection on my consumer file that is a result of identity theft. Pursuant to SectiXXXXn 615 ( f ) ( 1 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681m ( f ) ( 1 ) ), I am formally requesting that you  ensure compliance with the regulatory obligations imposed by the law. I also want to draw your attention to Section 30 ( b ), which prohibits the sale, transfer for consideration, or placement for collection of a debt resulting from identity theft. 

The debt in question has arisen from identity theft, and as per Section 615 ( f ) ( 1 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, no person shall sell, transfer for consideration, or place for collection a debt if they have been notified under Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act that the debt has resulted from identity theft. I am requesting that you investigate this matter promptly and take necessary actions to block the unauthorized information from my account. 

Furthermore, I assert my rights under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The Furnisher/Creditor should be able to supply an original documentation ( an original instrument of indebtedness with the autograph on it ), not to be confused with a photocopy. I am requesting a complete audit trail of the accounts in question and the Tax Registration certificate. Additionally, the creditors must provide a true certified copy ( NOT a photocopy ) of the original note or promissory note ( credit agreement ) contract binding both parties. This request is made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ), XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX conventions. 

Under Section 615 ( f ) ( 1 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the debt collector must cease collection activities until it has satisfied the requirements to validate the debt, including blocking the reporting of information resulting from identity theft. 

I request that your agency thoroughly investigates this matter, takes the necessary steps to block the unauthorized information from my account, and provides me with a written response outlining the actions taken to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I remind you of your obligations under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and emphasize the importance of adhering to the regulations set forth to protect consumers. 

Please note I have never possessed a drivers license and wouldnt have needed care insurance of any sort! 

Enclosures : [ Include any relevant documentation such as copies of police reports, FTC reports, etc. ]
