Complaint narrative:
I used PayPal Credit/Synchrony Bank to finance a transaction in XX/XX/year>XXXX  for {$240.00}. The merchant sent the items out in separate shipments, which tripped PayPal Credit up and they separated the {$240.00} charge into multiple transactions. I ended up returning all but one item of clothing amounting to {$58.00}, meaning I should have been refunded the remaining amount ( {$180.00} ). 

Instead, as a lone consumer, I have been left with a balance of {$180.00} on my PayPal Credit account. I have had to be the intermediary between these giant corporations who can not seem to pick up the phone and call one another to resolve this matter. I do not have access to inventory, shipment information and case notes to determine why I am left footing a bill for merchandise I returned back in XX/XX/year>. 

Everyone I have spoken to at PayPal Credit/Synchrony Bank reads from a script and only wants to dispute the charges THEY ARE CHARGING ME with the merchant, who already resolved my case in XX/XX/year>. I want a full refund/removal of the balance on my PayPal Credit account and to close the account so I never have to do business with this incompetent " bank '' ever again.
