Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing yet another complaint against Synchrony Bank, due to recurring issues. My primary concern is the lack of clarity regarding the outcomes of my previous disputes. In this complaint, I will be providing specific transaction amounts and approximate dates related to some of my disputes. Yesterday, I spoke for an hour and a half with XXXX from the dispute department. She told me that for many of the disputes that I filed, I was given provisional credits that were then overturned in favor of the merchant and rebilled to my account. Synchrony Bank neglected to inform me about these reversals, which led me to believe that I had received permanent credits. When Synchrony overturned the disputes, they rebilled me for the amounts without my knowledge. In many cases, I had re-disputed the amounts multiple times, and this is reflected on the statement they sent me. Synchrony Bank 's failure to notify me about the rebilling of these disputed amounts while allowing me to believe I had received credits is deceptive. I have contacted them on numerous occasions, and they confirmed to me many times that the disputes were resolved in my favor. However, upon reviewing the statement they provided, it is evident that many of these credits were later overturned, without my knowledge. Also, the statement they sent me doesnt include the names of the merchants nor what products or services were purchased, but I have kept some notes on this information, so I will try my best to provide you with the most accurate details I have. Some of the purchases are not even on the statement they gave me for some reason, the statement is missing a few transactions. Furthermore, I contacted Synchrony today and experienced unhelpful customer service from XXXX. He displayed no willingness to assist in resolving the issues related to my disputes. XXXX even stated that he was unable to provide me with crucial information regarding the disputes, including the names of the merchants involved or the dates of the disputes or purchases. To make matters worse, he placed me on hold for an extensive 20-minute period before hanging up on me. I have included the data for my disputes in an attached file. Thank you again for your time.
