Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Other problem
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
XXXX and Synchrony Bank sent me an offer to open XXXX branded credit card, saying that I could get a {$200.00} bonus when I meet the mentioned conditions. 
I have met all my obligations but they have failed to provide the {$200.00} bonus. I have tried my best to resolve it with them. I have wasted countless hours on phone with these idiots but they keep lying and making excuses about this offer. Literally every time they come with a new non sensical argument, ranging from the offer doesnt exits, offer was invalid, etc. The latest lie they told me was that the offer gave only 3 months to meet the {$1000.00} spend which is clearly a lie as you can see from the attached documents. 
The biggest liar is the supervisor XXXX XXXX id XXXX ) who keeps claiming that there was no such offer. 

The worst part is that I already sent them all the proof about a month and half back and I have written admission from them ( sent by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023 via secure messages and attached here ), that the offer is valid and I should get the {$200.00} bonus within 45 days of XX/XX/2023. But that was another lie as that didnt happen. please see the attached email with the original offer and the copy of secure message where XXXX XXXX admits that I have met the requirements. 

There was only one positive thing in those negative experience with Synchrony. And that was the supervisor XXXX ( id XXXX ). It was just my plain luck that I ran into him on my XXXX call to them today. He was the only reasonable person who within seconds of taking my phone call was able to pull the offer details, and confirm that I was sent that offer and that I had met the requirements of the offer and put in a ticket to get the bonus. Please recognize people like XXXX and get rid of garbage like XXXX who dont give a f**k about doing their job.

Complaint narrative:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an XXXX & Equifax breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and XXXX  stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

I have called several times this week. My original rep would not answer or return my voicemail. I was wanting to know about my direct deposit from my job that they took even though XXXX XXXX said they wouldn't that this would all be resolved as he saw my presented proof. Well my direct deposit hit XX/XX/23 and they kept it all.I was also told I didn't need to cancel my auto bill pay when I asked so I incurred more overdraft fees. I tried speaking to Claims again and was told they couldn't discuss with me as I filed a report with you.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/23 I joined Chipper Cash ( hereafter referred to as " *CC '' ). It took a couple tries to get my acct verified, then I sent {$670.00} to my loved one in XXXX, XXXX XXXX, who I've been supporting for over 12 years. He received it immediately & used it. It hadn't been deducted from my bank acct a week later, so I emailed *CC. 
I've emailed them at least 25x ( with responses from 8-12 different names all on the same thread - some auto-generated & some actually written ). I've also called them 8-10x. The first time, a lady answered & got rather snippy w/me, but every other time a guy named 'Kano ' answers . ( He calls this 'an edge case '. ) I've also contacted my local bank branch 2-4x & the bank headquarters at least 3x. They tell me that *CC tried to access my SAVINGS acct ( vs CHECKING ), so I informed *CC of this - TWICE. The 2nd time, they emailed me right away & said it was fixed, so I tried again to 'load ' {$670.00} on the app, & it seemed to process. That was weeks ago, & it still hasn't been deducted from my bank acct altho it SHOWS that I added {$670.00} both times. 
I tried to 'stop payment ' thru my bank, but they CAN'T bc there's no record of *CC trying to take the money! I'm wondering, if *CC DOES become able to withdraw the payment, will they take it TWICE ( since the app shows that I added it two different times 2 months apart )?

It seems that, since I owe THEM money, THEY'D be anxious to GET IT, but they've treated me as if I'M trying to get money FROM them. 
So crazy!

Complaint narrative:
Someone at a bank ( XXXX ) opened an account fraudulently under my name. So they used my name and social security number. The bank and the Equifax XXXXredit reporting agency refuse to remove the fraudulent information in the report, claiming the the identification information matches my name... yeah, because that's how identity theft works. I have included ANOTHER FTC Identity Theft report, showing that this is a case of fraud, and have gone through all the proper channels of reporting it to local and federal authorities. Now, it is EQUIFAX that is violating the fair credit reporting act by not removing the fraudulent information in a timely manner.
