Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX  I used a XXXX credit card that had a deferred interest promotion for 2 years in the amount of {$14000.00}. I am very concerned and upset about the predicament with the loan. I have made consistent payments over the past two years. It was my intention to pay it off before the promotion ended. The confusion began when the statements were not being sent to me. They were XXXX statements which some I didn't get. I called 4 days after the promotion ended on XXXX XXXX asking why the monthly payment had increased .She said it was the interest but not knowing it expired. I was not given any information about the 30 day grace period. I would have paid it off. This has turned out to be confusing mess and I attribute it to bad communication. I should not be penalized because of this. I Paid off the full amount. I am requesting the interest be waived as it should have been during the grace period. 
There were managers that said they could have waived it but said not now. Then they sent out something to escalate it to another department and said a supervisor will call me in 3-5 days. I never received that call. 
I hope this matter gets resolved ASAP. 

Thank you XXXX XXXX
