Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I made a purchase on XXXX at XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Illinois for new Counter Tops as well as other home improvement items. The purchase amount was for {$3900.00}. Synchrony ( Through Lowes ) was offering promotional APR of 5.99 % for 84 months with a fixed payment which would ensure the purchase would be paid off within 84 months. In reviewing my statement this month I identified that due to an error by either the Lowes store or Synchrony Bank this promotional APR was not applied to my account and Synchrony has been charging my account interest on the purchase at an APR of 24.99 %. To date they have over billed me in excess of {$1000.00} in interest charges. I contacted Synchrony to ask that they remedy the situation by crediting my account for the over charged interest and move the remaining balance to the correct interest rate for the remaining life of the promotion. The agent I spoke with acknowledged that there was likely an error by Lowes when ringing up the purchase and also acknowledged that I had taken advantage of this promotion previously on another purchase which seemed to corroborate my explanation that I should have received the 5.99 % promotion. After speaking with an agent and her supervisor they both refused to honor the promotion. They informed me that I needed to reach out to Lowes and get a copy of the original receipt and have the store re-ring the purchase so they could make the adjustments. I expressed my dissatisfaction with this because it should not be my responsibility to fix a mistake caused by Synchrony or Lowes ( Their 3rd Party Provider ) and  require me to drive 30 minutes from home to a store to do so. But regardless, I reached out to Lowes.  They have not sent me the requested receipt and the phone agent from Lowes indicated that even with it the store would not be able to do what the Synchrony Reps suggested. At this point I am still looking for Synchrony to honor the terms offered to me which I accepted.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony Credit Services : Recently I discovered what I thought was a horrible service being provided by this company. I have made payments of various amounts to my account through my XXXX XXXX Bill Pay but the payments are not being posted to my account and Im being charged late fees. Listed is a schedule of payments to my account : Payment date Amount XX/XX/XXXX{$95.00} XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Late FEE Charged XX/XX/XXXXXXXX Interest charged along with Late FEE XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Interest with Late FEEXX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  When I phoned customer service, I spoke with someone ( who wouldnt provide their name ) and advised me that I should may payments closer to the due date to avoid late fees. Ive never heard of such a thing. Who penalizes a customer for making a payment? I can not tell you how disappointed I am in that Im being penalized for making timely payments. The representative told me that I was being penalized for early payments. When I asked to have a copy of whatever agreement she was referencing sent to me via email or regular mail she said that she could not send it. She told me to go online and use the agreement that Belk has for everyone. ARE YOU SERIOUS? Nope, she was graveyard calm as she relayed this information.
<P/>
After a long waste of time conversation, I thanked her and noted that when I phoned, I was offered the chance to take a survey and to leave comments after the call. Once she hung up, I would be automatically transferred. Guess what she never hung up the phone. She was insisting instead that someone would call me. That call never came, no one EVER reached out to me via email or otherwise. Considering how the phone call was handled, I cant say that Im surprised. Ill let you in on this one trick ; when you have a customer on the other line and the representative ( not the customer ) doesnt hang up, the call doesnt transfer to leave comments and take the survey ( if offered ). Im guessing no one who suggested the survey after the call service ever tried it out. The representative can mute the phone but as long as they dont hang up, your call will not be transferred to do this survey.
<P/>
I 'm asking for assistance in that I believe the Synchrony Credit Services is : 1. Intentionally penalizing customers and forcing them to make additional payments to cover 'Late Fees ' being erroneously being charged by the company 2. Failure to provide documents showing how the company bills its clients and better explain billing cycles 3. Failure to allow the customer to speak to someone in a higher position 4. Not taking proper messages and passing them on to someone who could engage with the customer and reach a solution

Lift Credit filed a garnishment with my employer with no prior notice or legal documents given to me. When I contacted Lift Credit they told me that is was in regards to a loan given almost 3 years prior. I advised them that I had no knowledge of the loan and I needed proof of debit and the agent refused to send that to me and said that she would have to talk to her manager. I tried calling back the company the next day for the info, and they advised me that the agent I needed to talk to was n't there and that they would have them call me back and I never heard from them again. <P/>- They have refused to provide me proof of debit - They have never emailed me or mailed me any details - The information on the loan that they were willing to share with me was out of date and invalid. Over 10 years out of date! - No legal notice was provided to me that they were planning on taking me to court so I could represent or protect myself. - They company on the phone has refused to provide me any assistance. They told me the only way they would help me is if I take legal action back against them. - The were very unfair not giving me a chance to get this corrected or reviewed. - They were very deceptive on what info that would provide and what things they considered valid reasons for taking action against me. They would present things one way and then do another. - Not to mention, I do n't know how it is legal for any company to charge 300 % APR

I 've been trying to have Everbank remove PMI from my mortgage. Below is the summary I sent to Everbank outlining my issues. <P/>This letter was originally faxed on XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX. Per my follow up call on XX/XX/XXXX, the representative confirmed that the fax was received on XX/XX/XXXX and that it had only been 25 days and the process takes 30, and instructed me that I should wait and I would receive a letter after the 30 day period. I did not receive a letter, so I called back on XX/XX/XXXX and the representative XXXX stated that he saw in the notes on XX/XX/XXXX stating that the letter was received, but he could not find it in the system. He had no explanation, after checking for an extended period, what happened to the letter. Speaking w/ his supervisor XXXX , she instructed me to fax in another copy to the priority number and said that she would monitor and make sure it was processed this time. I called back on XX/XX/XXXX to check a second time and the representative said she again could not find the XX/XX/XXXX letter. She instructed me to send to the priority fax number XXXX.

Company: Stonebridge Lending Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is not about a specific loan but about the advertising that continues to come to my home and my Veteran friends and clients. I am a XXXX XXXX and I have to continually explain to my Veteran Friends what these flyers are advertising. The particular flyer received in the mail advertises 2.75 % FIXED in bold print. Absolutely no where on the page does it tell me what kind of VA loan it is. It certainly makes me think that it is a 30 yr fixed and it nowhere mentions an arm. It also states that I can get " Cash Out for Any Reason '' and that " No Employment Necessary. '' This particular flyer came from : Stonebridge Lending Inc. NMLS # XXXX, CA Bureau of Real Estate # XXXX. I know you have greater things to deal with, but I get this kind of thing in the mail all the time. All of my friends who are Vets get this kind of mail. Is there anything that can be done to hold these companies accountable for deceptive advertising just to get someone to call?

Good Afternoon, I 've done a lot of reading about a car loan I co-signed for. I 've and the owner of the car in question to get out of this loan by doing a co-signer released.

Capital one Bank will not even work at all, Not even offering a refi to have this loan setup for the real owners of the car. I feel like they want to do everything possible to destroy my credit which is already down 200 points. I hope you can help me with this issue.
