Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Company : Synchrony Bank ( issuer of PayPal Credit XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( payment processor ) -- - What happened : On XX/XX/year>, I was approved for a PayPal Credit account with a {$1800.00} limit. I attempted to use it on XXXX separate purchases through well-known vendors that accept PayPal : {$1300.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX {$190.00} XXXX XXXX {$7.00} XXXX All three transactions failed. No error codes were provided. No fraud alert was sent. No communication was made to confirm or deny any purchase attempt. 

I contacted PayPal Customer Service XXXX times between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, and Synchrony Bank XXXX times on XX/XX/XXXX. Each call led to department transfers, vague explanations ( the system needs time to reset ), and false promises of supervisor callbacks. Not a single callback occurred. 

Despite being approved, I was never able to successfully use the PayPal Credit line. My account was functionally unusable from the moment it was opened. 

To prevent further wasted time and stress, I closed the account on XX/XX/year>. 


-- - Why Im filing this complaint : I was extended credit, then denied any ability to actually use it. 

No alerts, denial notifications, or fraud confirmations were ever sent, despite claims that they would be. 

I was subjected to a broken and opaque customer service system with no escalation pathway. 

The entire experience appeared designed to discourage use while avoiding accountability. 


This was not a simple system error it reflects a pattern of dysfunction and poor transparency, if not outright bad faith. 


-- - Supporting documentation : Screenshot of the failed transaction with Mattress Firm ( available ). 

Screen recording showing PayPal Credit failure in real time ( available ). 

Call log summary available upon request.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. 

Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX XXXX to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.
