Consumer complaint received 2025-09-25 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I paid my XXXX XXXX account balance of {$2600.00} in full. XXXX immediately applied a payment hold scheduled to last until XX/XX/XXXX, preventing access to my credit line despite receiving complete payment. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX days before the hold 's scheduled release, XXXX charged my account {$40.00} in interest on a balance that had been paid in full XXXX  days prior. That same day, XXXX reduced my credit limit from {$2600.00} to {$100.00}, effectively eliminating my available credit while still holding my payment. 
I contacted XXXX customer service XXXX- on XX/XX/XXXX when the hold was applied and XX/XX/XXXX when the interest was charged. Both times I was promised follow-up communication that never materialized. When I called XX/XX/XXXX to demand reversal of the illegitimate interest charge, I was informed a partial refund check would be mailed in XXXX days, covering only the excess payment above minimum balance due, explicitly excluding the improperly assessed interest. This coordinated sequence - accepting full payment, applying extended holds while accruing interest on XXXX balances, then slashing credit limits before releasing payments- appears designed to extract fees from consumers who have met their payment obligations in full.

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: XOOM CORPORATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX PM, I initiated an international money transfer of {$5300.00} using XXXX ( a XXXX service ) to a recipient in XXXX. XXXX indicated that the transfer was successfully deposited. However, the recipient did not receive the funds. 

XXXX, I contacted XXXX customer service on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about the status of the transaction. I was informed that the transfer could not be completed because the recipients account is a commercial account, and XXXX is unable to process transfers to such accounts. I was further told that their partner bank cancelled the transaction, and that XXXX would be issuing a refund within XXXX business days. 
It is now XX/XX/XXXX, and the money has neither been deposited to the recipient nor refunded to me. Despite acknowledging that the transaction is not valid and can not be processed, XXXX has not initiated the refund. Every time I contact their customer support, I am told they are waiting for confirmation from their partner bank, even though they have clearly admitted that the transfer can not be completed due to the commercial nature of the recipients account. 
I have made multiple phone calls and sent several emails to XXXX requesting a refund. Each time, I receive the same scripted response, with no resolution or escalation. 

At this point, I am requesting the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX assistance in resolving this matter. I should not be penalized or made to wait because of internal issues between XXXX and its partner bank. The transaction was invalid from the outset, and the refund should have been processed immediately upon that determination. 

I respectfully request that my {$5300.00} be refunded without further delay. 

Thank you for your time and support.

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.
