Consumer complaint received 2023-03-04 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony financial Amazon Store card started charging an account security fee out of nowhere in XXXX. This is an extra fee in case a person loses their job or is unable to work due to disability or injury, and the account holder has to sign up for it. The fee is a set amount per {$100.00} on the card. I only discovered the last three charges when I went to look at my account to see if a refund was issued from Amazon, otherwise I wouldnt have known. Ive had my card for years and have had no need for this feature, and they just added it to my account without authorization on my end. 

Their customer service isnt open on the weekends, so Ill be calling Monday to get it resolvedbut I XXXX  to see if others have had this issue and apparently its standard practice for them to add this fee without cardholders knowledge. 

I even checked my email and there was no notification of this feature being added to my account. One would think that synchrony would send a confirmation email if a cardholder enrolled in the program, or to see if they did so in error and had an opportunity to rescind. 

Please look into Synchronys practices. There are no doubt other users who are experiencing the same issue. I will follow up if my issue is not resolved with them.

Complaint narrative:
I opened a checking account on XX/XX/XXXX with personal banker XXXX XXXX. There was a promotion with opening an account and the bonus was {$500.00} for a balance level of $ XXXX. The balance had to be deposited within 20 days of account opening and the balance had to be maintained for additional 60 days from the XXXX day of opening the account. I deposited {$30000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I have not received in early XX/XX/XXXX, therefore I reached out via phone and Citi Bank said they did not see a promotion offer in my account. I went to the bank ( branch where I opened the account ) and first, they said no promotion existed. I showed them all the documents I had saved from opening the account and they said they would submit a case to investigate. I followed up today on XX/XX/XXXX and they said no case was reported and they would submit a new report XXXX. I think their practice is unethical and fraudulent. Online there are many reports of people experiencing the same issues.

Company: BANKMOBILE TECHNOLOGIES, INC

Complaint narrative:
My balance with BMTX bank is at a non-sufficient funds in the amount of $ XXXX. I have already tried to dispute discrepancies of small amounts of exact charges of {$2.00}, {$4.00}, and {$1.00} placed on my account by a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, California. These charges do not seem correct due to the exact charges without taxes. Purchasing items, it is seldom that the balance is an exact charge. I have had issues with this convenient store overcharging in the past when paying cash. I want this bank account closed and their customer service refused to do so. I have made disputes on charges which have not been resolved and they demanded that I pay the {$17.00} or they will not close this account. I only opened up this account because the college that I was enrolled in at XXXX XXXX XXXX advised everyone that it would be an easier option to receive student loans. The representative stated that this was a financial institution and that would be incorrect since they do not have a corporate branch that you can walk into to pay the balance. Everything done is through wire transfers.

Complaint narrative:
I have reviewed my credit report and noticed that there are several inaccuracies for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Credit Card. This is causing harm to my credit profile and causing financial harm as it affects the overall interest i pay on recent and future lines of credit. 

The debt is being reported twice on my credit report from both XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX and by XXXX XXXX XXXX. The debt should not be reported twice. 

The second inaccuracy is that there is no balance owed to either creditor. The balance was settled and there is a balance owed. XXXX XXXX XXXX assured me that the debt would be removed permanently from my credit report. I would request that the most recent phone call be pulled from XXXX XXXX XXXX and hear the representative ensure that the debt would be deleted. The phone number I would have called in from is XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I reached back out to XXXX XXXX XXXX because they are still reporting to both ChexSystems and XXXX XXXX XXXX that I have some sort of charged off and/or delinquent account with them which is causing me to still not only open any accounts at a national bank, but is also affecting me in trying to open accounts at local banks and has caused my existing bank ( XXXX XXXX ) to close my account all predicated on their frivolous and erroneous reporting of an account that does not exist. They have sent me a letter stating that they are not reporting it, but the other banks have verbally stated that the reason for closure or for me to be unable to open an account is because of what's being reported to ChexSystems and XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is literally the example of holding my banking privileges hostage and this is illegal in nature.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
I have a Citibank credit card and had a balance of {$21.00} for XX/XX/XXXX. I had {$1.00} in cash rewards at that time. My payment is for the XXXX of each month and I make/schedule payments days in advance. I redeemed the {$1.00} cash rewards online and Citibank 's system said that I had a balance of {$20.00} remaining, so I scheduled a payment for this balance. According to online transaction, the {$1.00} cash rewards was posted on XX/XX/XXXX and {$20.00} was posted on XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I used my Citibank credit card and was DECLINED for the purchase. I called Citi and found out that {$1.00} was the remaining balance. Furthermore, Citibank posted a late payment fee of {$21.00}. I paid in FULL on XXXX by using the {$1.00} cash rewards and {$20.00} from my other bank account all BY XXXX, YET, Citi claims thatI didn't pay {$1.00}, DEACTIVATED my credit card, and charged a late fee of {$21.00}. 

In my opinion, Citibank is practicing ILLEGAL and FRAUDULENT business practices through their financial systems : stating that I could use my cash rewards to my statement balance, stating that I had a " lower '' balance due after I cashed in my rewards XXXX CHARGING A LATE FEE when I did pay my balance in FULL, and DEACTIVATING my credit card for the {$1.00} that Citibank had stated was applied to my statement balance.
