Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Went to XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Va on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The Office Manager said it will be more than {$4000.00} for the total procedure and almost {$1500.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX so I asked if they do financing. She asked for my Driver 's License and secondary ID but didn't say she was applying for CARE CREDIT -SYNCHRONY on my behalf. She later told me I was approved then gave me an appointment for XXXX which I cancelled cause I have no way to go back and forth since we moved considering I no longer drive and just relaying on my daughter and her husband. 
When I tried to make appointments in another XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Va the representative said I already have a CARE CREDIT for {$760.00} but I didn't understand it. The cleaning and Xray procedure for me and my husband was to high so I canceled that appointment. 
I later got a bill from CARE CREDIT-SYNCHRONY for {$760.00} that I wasn't aware of so I called their fraud hotline and reported that I didn't get any procedure done from XXXX XXXX so that charge is fraud. I even explained to them in writing what happened. 
They then sent me another bill saying my claim is denied since I authorized it. I didn't authorized the charge since I never went back there. I authorized the office manager to apply for financing but I guess CARE CREDIT put the money going to XXXX XXXX without my knowledge but they are telling me I am responsible to make payments. 
I also called them again disputing the charge but they refused so I canceled the CARE CREDIT CARD SYNCHRONY but they said I'm still liable to the charge of {$760.00} I also put in a complain with XXXX but CARE CREDIT SYNCHRONY refused to remove the charge of {$760.00}. I am now having anxiety over this cause I didn't benefit from it although I'm making payments.
