Synchrony Bank

It has been nightmares w/ Sync after attempting to make first payment they wouldn’t accept my card that I have to pay for my monthly statements so from my first monthly statement after multiple attempts of trying in every way shape and form and paying with other payment options they closed my account and I have been paying on an account by phone which every month not one representative remembers my billing information from month to month and what I am paying with. So my payments don’t get accepted then I get charged late fees. I go online to the Live chat to pay there “24/7” live representatives and no live representatives are available with prolonged wait periods just to have to repeat my same issues of why I can’t make a payment to the animated Chat person who then directs you to where you have to go. You get someone or somewhere and then booted off and have to start the process all over again just to make a simple payment. It is highly frustrating annoying their business sucks and the fact that they don’t offer other payment options was wrong. I had no way to make a payment so my account got closed after the first month.

I have a care credit account with Synchrony for 10 plus years. I have NEVER been late on a payment. I use the card for veterinary purposes only. I currently am using it more frequently then usually due to older dogs. I made a payment of over $1,000 the money was debuted from my account but my available credit DID NOT reflect the payment. When I called they gave me a story that anything over $1,000 would not reflect in my account for 10 days. So they took my money but won't open my available credit for 10 days??? HORRIBLE!!!!When I spoke to a supervisor she said they have the right to hold any payment out of the ordinary for the 10 days. Simply said, they don't like customers who pay down the bill. They want the customer who"owes" or you get punished by them not opening up your credit line. The representative had an :I DON'T CARE ATTITUDE" & told me not to use the card then. Terrible customer service. Think twice before engaging with this bank!!!

I am not a fan of Synchrony Bank at all! First as you know, they finance about every credit card on Earth. I have Lowes, JC Penney, LazyBoy, QVC, and Sam's Club Mastercard which is the card I have the issue with. I have had this card since 2016, have never missed a payment, have received credit increases (their doing not mine), and have always made payment higher that Minimum Payment. My credit score as of today is 780 with and my credit utilization is at 30% which is considered very good/excellent. I called to see if they would lower my interest rate on the credit card because I do have over a 10K balance on the card and the rate is 22.99%, ridiculous. I was told they are not offering any interest rate deductions despite of my excellent credit standing with Synchrony. The Mastercard is the only Synchrony card with a balance so it's not like every card I have with them is maxed out. So I applied for a CitiDiamond Preferred card and was immediately accepted. I am going to transfer $3000 from my Sychrony Mastercard to the CitiDiamond as it is 0% for 18 months. If you have good credit I suggest you do the same. I will never use Synchrony Bank cards ever again.

I applied for this option to get mattresses a little over a year ago. my payments were 50 per month for 2 years. After paying double that per month they decided to decrease my limit by 1000. I called and ask why and was advised that my credit scores were low. This was not true, my scores since opening this card had risen over 100 points. I was advised to take my complaint up with the credit bureaus so I did. During this call i was told straight from one of the bureaus that synchrony was not properly reporting to the credit bureau every month like they are supposed to. So their excuse was invalid. This caused my score which was on the rise from paying everything on time to drop 48 points! I filed a complaint through all three bureaus and continued to pay double my monthly payment. After another two months my original credit line was now only 250!!! I only found out they once again lowered my credit limit from my Experian update. Immediately went on the app and off the remaining balance and told them to close the account. I would never recommend this line of credit to anyone. It will destroy any credit you are trying to rebuild.

There were 595 consumer reviews of Synchrony Bank in Stamford, Ct on the BBB website. Synchrony Bank has a rating of 1.06 STARS out of 5 STARS. There were 1950 complaints in the last year alone and 5053 complaints in the last three years. Somehow, the BBB rates Synchrony Bank with an A+ Rating probably because the BBB collects a yearly fee from Synchrony Bank and presumably because Synchrony Bank will provide you with a canned response no matter what about what they are legally allowed to do, which they abuse beyond belief. There is a huge difference between legal and ethical norms. Synchrony Bank can do just about anything they want to legally but that does not mean it is ethical. If you take the time to read complaints, you will find that Synchrony Bank does not care about your business. They do not care that they are hurting your credit score even when you are a good paying customer. Take the time to read the responses that Synchrony Bank has to individuals that have paid their accounts as agreed and had their credit rating destroyed by this company. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands of individuals, that have had their credit destroyed by this business without cause and the responses from Synchrony Bank are all canned. The consistent responses are always: 1) When you got credit from the bank, you agreed to allow Synchrony Bank to reduce your credit limit or close your account at any time for any reason even though they will not contest in the majority of complaints that a customer has paid them on time for even a matter of years. 2) If you say, correctly that I might add, that Synchrony has hurt your credit score. The response is that your credit score can change on a daily basis. Even though Synchrony banks employees without any doubt that they hurt your credit, don’t expect an apology or an admittance that they have done so. 3) Synchrony Bank claims to provide notice to individuals that they have reduced your credit limit or closed your account, even though it is statistically impossible for them to actually be doing so as required by law. 4) They will say that they will review your credit periodically with their credit scoring system and tell you that you need to contact the credit report agency when they hurt or destroy your credit for NO REASON. 5) They will report closing your account or reducing your credit limit immediately and claim that it would hurt their reputation with the credit reporting agencies if they did not do so. Of course this is an utter lie, the FCRA does not require anyone to report anything at any time and I doubt highly that the credit reporting agencies care as long as a consumer is complaining. 6) They will say that we care about your business even though it is obvious that they do not. Read their canned responses to complaints. Between 12/21/2020 and 2/8/2021, Synchrony Bank received a total of 48 consumer complaints SOLELY directed at the headquarters element of Synchrony Bank and SOLELY through the Better Business Bureau (BBB) located in Stamford,CT. This DOES NOT include complaints directed at any other Synchrony Bank subsidiary locations and DOES NOT include complaints from other BBB locations throughout the United States. Furthermore, this analysis DOES NOT account for the number of complaints on other platforms or number of individuals that never made a complaint. Thus, we can extrapolate that the numbers of incidents is EXTREMELY under-reported. Out of the 48 complaints between 12/21/2020 and 2/8/2021, 50% (24 complaints) related to Synchrony closing accounts (20) or reducing credit limits (4) on accounts. From a statistical standpoint, approximately 50% of the 1950 complaints in the last year or 975 complaints were for closing accounts or reducing credit limits. In the last three years, approximately 50% of 5053 complaints in the last three years or 2526.5 complaints were for closing accounts or reducing credit limits. Out of the 24 complaints associated with closing accounts or reducing credit limits, the following information was extrapolated: 62% (15 of the 24 individuals) specifically stated in their complaint that they paid their account on time and Synchrony Bank did not dispute this in their response to the claim. From a statistical standpoint, approximately 62% of 2625.5 individuals (1627 Individuals) in the last three years had a DECREASE in their FICO or VantageScore as a SOLE discretion of Synchrony Bank closing or reducing their credit limits when they paid their account on time or had a zero balance. . 58% (14 of the 24 individuals) stated specifically in their complaints that they NEVER received notice from Synchrony Bank at all PRIOR to OR AFTER accounts were closed or credit limits were reduced. From a statistical standpoint, if the approximately 58% held true. Out of the 975 complaints in the last year, approximately 565 people did not receive ANY notice that their account was closed or their credit limit was decreased. In similar fashion, it would indicate that about approximately 1522 individuals out of 2625.5 people in the last three years DID NOT receive the required notice. Synchrony Bank stated explicitly multiple times in their responses to individual complaints that they are aware of the requirement in the Fair Credit Reporting Act to notify clients that their accounts were closed or limits were decreased. Synchrony Bank claimed that the individuals that complained all received notice even though 58% said that they received no notice. Thus, it is highly that Synchrony Bank is in fact making false statements and is in direct violation of the law. 50% (12 of the 24 individuals) stated specifically in their complaints that their credit was negatively impacted as a DIRECT RESULT of Synchrony Bank. In a technical sense of the word, Synchrony Bank may legally close or reduce the credit limit on any account for ANY REASON at their SOLE discretion. However, it is HIGHLY UNETHICAL to destroy an individual’s credit when they are paying their Synchrony bill as required or maintaining a zero balance. This becomes an even greater issue when Synchrony Bank is OBVIOUSLY not providing many individuals notice or allowing the individual an opportunity to reduce their credit utilization rate prior to reporting to a credit bureau. Synchrony Bank has made claims that their credibility with the credit bureau would be hurt if they failed to report accounts closed by the creditor for no legitimate reason other than they can do so legally without any oversight or repercussions. It is also technically legal to decrease an individual’s credit limit at their sole discretion without oversight or repercussions. However, it is extremely poor business to not give an individual an opportunity to decrease their credit utilization prior to reporting the decrease to credit bureaus. Synchrony Bank’s claim about credibility with a credit bureau is laughable. There is nothing in the Fair Credit Reporting Act that forces a creditor to report closing an account especially when the individual has been a loyal paying customer of the business. Why would you do this when you know all it does is hurt a loyal paying customer? There is also nothing in the Fair Credit Report Act that prohibits a creditor to have the decency to allow an individual an opportunity to reduce their credit utilization rate prior to reporting a credit limit decrease to a credit reporting agency. Synchrony Bank has the legal ability to arbitrarily reduce someone’s credit limit based upon whatever “credit scoring” system that they deem relevant. Thus, this bank can reduce your credit limit from $3000 to $1500 without notice. If you owe $1490 when the decrease takes place, your credit utilization rate will increase from 50% to 99% without any notice. In a case like this, Synchrony Bank will DIRECTLY negatively impact you FICO or VantageScore in a major way. Since 35% of your credit score is based upon credit utilization, your credit score could be impacted by a hundred points and there is nothing you can do about it because Synchrony Bank can do whatever they want to do with your credit and there is nothing you can do about it.

If I could give this company a double 00 I would. They are liars and ruin people's livelihood. First of all how is it even legal to look at someone's credit more than once? Second they closed my account that had a $2500 credit limit because of a "EXTRA, EXTRA" payment I made bounced due to paying it out of the wrong account. I made 3 payments depending on the balance on the card which case in point was $200 dollars. I called and was told because of" lack of payment" to which I laughed and told the lady that was the third payment I was making the month of October which I paid $100 total the other payments before the due date. The she went on to insult me with oh because of your credit, which I laughed again because I have fairly good credit, in the end I just said alright so this goes on my credit as negative I will be disputing it and closed every account I had with them. I refuse to go to any store that uses them and will never apply for another one of their cards. I feel that yeah it's their decision to close accounts anytime but what gives them the permission to look at my credit every few months? I called Chase last night and I had to give them permission to look into the " NEGATIVE MARK" SYNCHRONY HAS LEFT. cutting my loses but not before I do all I can to get this crappie company reported and investigated. They need to be sued again. They use to be G.E. Capital which was sued for discrimination back in 2012. Surely to god they are doing something shotty with their business practices here and rude customer service reps. GET ANY CARD BUT THEIRS!!! SHOP ANYWHERE BUT THE COMPANY'S THEY ARE AFFILIATED WITH!!

I opened a Synchrony Bank Credit card that tied to my paypal acct. In retirement I run a 501c3 dog rescue and offer raffle items as fundraisers. People use paypal to buy the tickets and I send out them items to the winner. Let me preface this by saying I have a credit score in excess of 800 and live a well funded retirement of pension, 401K and social security. I open the account in May of this year. I pay the card weekly from the proceeds of the paypal account because the credit line was only $4000. Yesterday i go to order an item and the card is declined. I call Synchrony and am told the "risk" dept closed my account. No call, no notice, just closed. The balance in the Paypal acct yesterday was $4000 more than the balance on the credit card so I fail to see a risk. I have worked hard my whole life and never defaulted on any bill. I own my own home. I have NEVER been treated so unprofessionally by a bank. This will stop me from ever using another online only banking institution. More aggravating is no one can tell you the criteria for the decision. And they refuse to provide a telephone number for their corporate headquarters in Utah. That does not seem like a legitimate business practice to me.

Our experience was an absolute nightmare with these people! They arbitrarily review your credit report and come up incorrect information. They take these actions and do not contact you, to verify the information is correct. Then it is negatively reported to the credit bureau. In our case my wife had an account with La-z-boy. We bought some furniture and paid the balance in full, no late payments there or anywhere else on our reports! They ended up closing an account that had a zero balance on it! Is that Risk Management? If she was not creditworthy you would think they close other accounts with balances? I contacted customer service with the number on the letter they sent after the fact. I was on hold for a long time, and got a representative with whom I could hardly understand. After trying to explain to her what was going on, i just kind got a irate and asked for a manager. I talked to a manager, and he said he would forward my concerns on to a department that handle these issues. The way that bank is managed and their poor treatment of paying customers, makes me ready to pay everything off that is affiliated with them which I don't think we have much more. Walmart dropped this institution, and went to Capital One. Meijer Corp. dropped them and went with Citi Bank

On April 15, 2020 during the height of the covid 19 global pandemic Synchrony Financial decided without warning or notice or good reason closed all 9 credit card accounts, total available credit about $73,000.00. I had about $150.00 total balance across all 9 card accounts total owed. I have never been late, no missed payments, I have a 7 year streak of 100 percent of all credit payments made on time. I have a 740 fico score. I have total credit usage of 1 percent utilization. This permanently ends my business relationship with synchrony financial forever! I've got better cards with much better and more productive banks than synchrony financial. You decide for yourself. Be safe!

Synchrony Bank is the PITTS!!,,the worst I have ever encountered in my 71 years of doing business. I opened an account with Lowes and bought stainless steel appliances, only to find out later Synchrony Bank was carrying the account, Lowes was no where to be found and they don't tell you that Synchrony bank is the financier of your account. Credit Karma monitors my account and sent me a notice stating I had missed payments on my report, keep in mind I pay all my bills with cashiers checks, after numerous tries of trying to contact Synchrony Bank, finally reach them and they stated I had missed 2 payments, the rep said my bank had put stop payments on the checks, I said that's impossible because I paid for the cc with cash...still said bank had put stop payment on them...then she said I needed to get a letter from my bank stating they had not put stop payment on the checks and it needed to be on their letterhead and fax it to them and they would remove the missed payments, I go to my bank and they look up my checks and note they did not put stop on them and my bank go one better and show on the back of the checks where Synchrony bank had cashed them all...after faxing this information back to Synchrony I have not received a response back from them to this day!!!!!

I like the 2% rewards but that is all I like. Whenever you call it takes about 5 minutes to navigate through all the menus and get to a person. The problem that Synchrony cannot fix is a crucial issue. They don't send mail to my correct billing address. Because I take my credit score extremely seriously, I find it crucial to be able to receive statements. Ever since 10/24/2017 I have been calling to correct my billing address. The issue is I receive my mail at a BOX, NOT A PO BOX. Synchrony keeps adding the PO in front of the word BOX. The problem is it is not at a Post Office so the local post office returns the statements and other mailings back to Synchrony. I have been calling since 2017 and it is 2019 and they simply cannot correct it. Today I spoke to a supervisor and then asked for his supervisor who said he corrected it but noted he could see I have been calling since 2017 and it has not been corrected. I suggested he contact their tech department as I suspect they wrote code that always ads "PO" to any address with the word Box in in it. He disregarded that idea all together. I hate this bank!

I've waited for over 2 (TWO) hours on their "CHAT" to get someone to chat with me, and they were helpless. When I asked for a supervisor, all I got is a blank screen, and I've been waiting for over an hour again, with nobody to even respond if there's still anyone on the other side, am I in a queue, when I will get some supervisor to chat with me. NOTHING!!! The MAIN problem I have with this clueless bank is that they take money out of my account a few seconds to minutes after I use my card. That is "automatically done", and is as fast as cyberspace could be. When I pay money into my credit card, it takes them "24 to 72 hours" to "process" the payment. The money is out of my bank account or PayPal balance immediately, but it takes them this long to "process" the payment. And, there's nobody in their stupid "system" who can change or override this! We have become a society of computer/system dependent morons. There is no human touch, no human connection, no human discretion. Just a whole lot of "this is what the computer/system tells us, so this is what we do! The WORST thing that PayPal ever did is hook up with Synchrony bank. Their "system" was so much friendlier and easy to use before this move. TERRIBLE MOVE!!!

They sold my account, while never sending me a bill, once paid the collection agency, they refused to acknowledge the account as paid though I had a letter from the collection agency that it was paid. All I wanted was it to reflect that the account as of February, the account is no longer negative. Besides that, they refused to return my calls, lied to the moderator from the AG's office, told me that when I told them that 2 of the 3 major credit bureaus told me that they are the only ones who can update that information or at least put a comment on the report stating it was paid to the collection agency in full, they refused to do that and told me they cannot do that. They were extremely dismissive, rude, unhelpful, had the wrong information on the letters sent to me, and refused to take the dispute seriously. Now I am sitting there after a background check having a negative blemish on my record that may not have been updated since 2013, but still reflects negative as of now which is incorrect on my report. I have sent them the release letter from the collection agency and they refused to acknowledge that information as meaning the account is paid since they did not get that money. I was never given an opretunity to pay them since they got my billing address wrong and never notified me regarding it. Worst thing is now, thanks to this, I cannot get credit cards, loans, an appartment, background checks may come back as a negative on me, etc... this company has screwed me and my credit.

Synchrony bank website is unclear and can be misleading. If you ever have to cancel a payment, they can’t return the money to your bank and it Hass to be mailed back out to you, which can take up to two weeks very very inconvenient.

Got a synchrony bank card from Qvc. First time I got cats they lowered my credit for no reason. All purchases made on time. Then it put at my credit limit. Now I went to make my payment and I could not connect they Qvc. I found another entry and paid my 35. Dollar payment. I saw the email came thru for the payment t but did not look closely til today when they took the entire amount owed 297. And had dropped my credit limit to 0 with no warning. I have other accounts with synchrony. And not sure why with Qvc they are so ruthless. Funny though I had just paid off a no interest loan with them thru lumber liquidators. Crazy. And poor customer service and fraudulent.

Absolutely terrible! I was a loyal customer since 2010 but noticed how they recently changed their rules and began enforcing crazy fees. My statement last month was $32 and the minimum payment due was $29. More than 90% of the balance. I spoke to their customer service and was told "thats our rules now". So i stopped using the card and decided i would pay the $32 on the due date and not use them anymore. I log in to pay my bill on the due date and am shocked when i see the bill is now $81. Synchrony added a late fee plus interest charge which equaled to an additional $49. My statement was for $32. I contacted their customer service and got ZERO help. Every agent i spoke with both over the phone or online via chat didn't know anything. I was told "thats the way it is" . I then told the agent to close my account and there was no retention whatsoever. They didn't care. Terrible company and i wold NEVER recommend them to anybody unless you want to lose money. These guys are crooks. I'll take my business elsewhere.

Synchrony bank/care credit is Horrible! I have been making regular monthly payment much more than the minimum payment due and several months I paid 2 or 3 payments in one month to help get the balance lower. Well I have been punished by making more payment prior to my due date! Yes that is 100% correct. I paid 2 payments in February one on the 1st and one on the 14th of February but my due date for February was the 20th so Synchrony bank posted my 2 payments in February 1 and 14th to January and hit me with a no payment being made in February, late fee and additional interest. WHAT? this is the crazy 110% ! truth about this company. You try to pay your loan down but they will suck every last penny from you in every unethical way possible. I have filed complaints with the OCC, FTC and the CFPB (consumer federal protection bureau). I am also going to look into a class action suit against the company. Everyone who reads this post and has been ripped off by these very ugly people keep a lookout in the mail to be a part of the law suit.

Horrible experience. They canceled 7 cards from me without notice. i didn't owe them more than 3000 on a $35000 credit between my cards.

Horrible customer service. They will over charge and bill you for everything they can and more. Good luck getting an help. Do not bank with them. Stay away. There are plenty of other banks out there.

Withhold of funds for months!!! They have put my money on hold for months now. No answer, no information. I want to close the account, they won't let me. Disgusting policies and customer service.

ZERO stars. This place has worked me over too many times and they don't care. They allowed a business to charge me 3x over and made my life a living hell. Not to mention the fact they are pushing for APR over 40%! Stay away from Synchrony and the creeps making money scamming the people.

The worse creditor ever!!! Do not obtain any type of credit card from this company. They will screw your credit up by lowering your limit to your utilization and have you maxed out for no reason at all. Closing my account with them and will NEVER EVER use them again! Deuces

I made a mistake by opening an account with this bank since they do not have any physical locations; I am obliged to talk to their customer service supervisor. Instead of listening to the concerns I called about, she seemed more interested in listening to herself talk, as if she had more issues to resolve than I did.

Horrible experience with this banks credit card. 2 hours to apply their app stinks customer service is not good I called and got hung up on. Seriously 15 years ago we used them no issues this time asking for photos and videos then taking you back to start due to their systems doesn't work well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HORRIBLE.

They lower my credit limit constantly! I make payments so then they lower it to my utilization. Amazon Synchrony has done this once and Synchrony Mastercard has done this twice! So it drastically increases my debt to income which makes my credit look worse!

I was sued by GE money for a account that was over 12 years old The attorney that sued me never provided proof that I owed the money I will not do any business with your company again This company will not make another dime from me

I was forced to over pay by nearly $1,000 and after several weeks on the phone and many promises that a refund check was on the way, they never sent it. Worst banking institution on the planet. Owner is a thief and should be shot. Terrible company

Terrible bank, do not apply for any anything related to this company! Terrible customer service, I applied to finance some furniture at R2G through this bank, I have great credit score, high income, was still rejected with no reason why. Save your time with this company it’s terrible!

I had a King Size account for years! I forgot my December 2023 payment they lowered my credit and reported this to all three credit which killed my credit. I am having to resort to 609 credit letters to remove these fools permanently from my credit report!! I hate king size and synchrony!! BYE! BYE!

Do not go through them for care credit. This is worst service to go through. I have a care credit card through this bank. They did not send notice that my credit limit was going to be less, however then the charged me a higher monthly payment. I never ever will bank or get something through them again.

If 0 stars were an option I would have picked it, This Card is from Amazon, Their customer service people are rude, insulting, disrespectful, unhelpful, uneducated, will hang up on you when asking for clarity, JUST RUN, RUN IF YOU ARE EVER OFFERED CREDIT FROM SYNCHRONY BANK, ITS SMALL CREDIT AND THEIR GOAL IS TO TRULY SCREW YOU

LeAnn was very rude made the experience of my mom's passing a terrible experience .I spent 5 hours jumping through hoops .then LeAnn said they were wrong the check was being sent . Then she called from a private Kansas number late in the evening asking me to verify me .bottom line the bank is keeping my mom's money beware

They are the kings of being sketchy and fraudulent practices to charge as many "late fees", "fee/fa feees", "just cause we want to fees".. EVERY time Ive purchased something that requires synchrony bank I have issues w them... AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS!

Worst customer service ever. I made the payment on a new account too early and scheduled the recurring payment from my bank on a monthly basis. Their system ignored that first payment and charged me a later for all payments there after! I only realized this when I received a past due notice in mail for a payment that was scheduled. Customer service was of no help stating there is nothing they could do about the situation, it is just the way their system works.

My payments have been made timely for over 1.5 yrs, I am ahead two months on payments, they closed my account and for three months have been reporting negative remarks (SINCE /8/2023)or showing late payments even though I am two months ahead EVEN ON THEIR RECORDS per their customer service , I had auto pay and they still hit my acct many months showing that I made 2-3 payments a month 14 payments in 9 months) on my bank statements, this place is far from correct in any business practice and is very shady!!!. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME

I paid all of my payments on my Synchrony Care credit credit card early every month. I paid my July payment that was due on 7/19 on 7/5 2023. I paid my August payment early on 7/27. I then paid my September payment early on August 28th. Synchrony Bank charged me a late payment fee and a non payment fee which they did waive one fee but would not waive the other even though they agreed that I did not miss or make a late payment. I'm very unhappy with Synchrony Bank customer service!

I asked for my statements to be sent to me since they weren't accessible online. After the wrong statements were sent, I had to call in SIX times to ask for access. Four times, the customer representative hung up on me. One supervisor promised that I would have the statements in 24-48 hours. After three days, they told me I would get them by 5pm. At 7pm, they told me I would not get them and hung up on me. I still haven't gotten what I need. If I could give 0 stars I would. Don't bank with this company if you want a bank that you can trust and that respects you.

This has been the worst Credit Agency I've ever dealt with. Consistently lowering and/or closing accounts that are in good standing, due to elevated credit use on other accounts. News Flash Synchrony! We sometimes have to rely on our credit accounts when going thru temporary financial issues! When needed the most, they closed accounts and lowered limits to a fraction of nothing! Will never recommend nor patronage this company again.. I gave them a 1 only because "0" is not available. Rude Cust Serv Reps as well.

I had a loan for a flute to pay in equal payments to pay for 36 payments. If the loan was paid off within a particular date there would be no interest. Well I paid on time each month and paid off the loan with date agreed upon. They have now added around $250 on interest for “fraud” protection which was for around $350 which I never signed up for. I got them to drop the $350 but they are still charging me $250 plus interest on this interest. I will never use Synchony Bank again.

They will cancel cards even if you made payments on time, AND EVEN AHEAD OF TIME! So my credit score dropped for a time and so one of their products, the car care card, they closed and an Amazon card that they do they severely lowered the limit rendering the card useless in my case. Remember while my credit score had went down, I had never missed paying them on time and the full amount due. So they didn't do good business with me, as I kept my end of the deal but they didn't keep their end. I strongly suggest that you find a better more understanding company. Shalom.

Very disappointed with this bank. Never ever I had this kind of ridiculous experience in any other bank with ridiculous promotion. When I applied for the card they said it’s 0% interest for 12 months. Nobody literally nobody inform me they will charged whole bunch of year interest in the next year. When I called them they said “they can’t do anything now since it’s been months”. For god sake please do not involved with this bank. I rate them 0 star. Worst worst worst bank and experience.

I will never do business with this company again. I have four accounts with them. I forgot about a payment on one account but the other three were in good standing. They lowered the credit limit on all four accounts although three of them were in good standing. This action increased my credit utilization because they lowered my credit limit on all accounts and my credit score suffered.

I have always made my payment early and paid more than my minimum payment. I was never told that I couldn’t make a payment in advance. So apparently I paid it too early and they put it down that my payment was late and put a late charge on my account. They refused to remove the late fee and now I have a late payment on my credit. I will never use this company again! I only used them because I bought furniture from Ashley Furniture and this is the finance company they used.

In June I was trying to get my sister some dentures through Aspen Dental.. I was approved for the cost with a Care Credit card.. The dental office didn’t do all the work I was charged for and said they would contact Care Credit to take $1400.00 off the cost.. When it didn’t happen I opened a dispute for the $. 1400.00 to be taken off the original cost of $4135.50 .. Well Synchrony being the low class uneducated financial institution they are told Aspen I was disputing $2700.00 of the cost.. Well go figure I have to pay the entire $4135.50.. PLEASE SHUT THIS FRAUDULENT BUSINESS DOWN!!

I will never do business with this bank again!! I have been unsuccessful at logging into my online account which caused me to be late on my credit cards. Then they started closing my accounts after I had repeatedly reported the website error notification. Most of my cards with them are paperless statements and I had no way of knowing where to send a payment or any other way to log in. When I tried to log in on each credit card site it said I entered the wrong information. Now my credit that I was rebuilding is bad again. Thanks for nothing Synchrony Bank

Dear Fellow Citizens, I previously held one account with this charlatan and they gave us a 7500 credit line in Ashleys manager approval on the sales floor and we spent 4500. As we got to 3600 to pay off the interest they hit me with a 3000 interest charge. Dust in the wind I have paypal and pay on time and I logged in now and it says account closed. No explaination other than they are an illegal banking entity that engages in bad faith predatory lending and bait-and-switch tactics in order to write off customer junk debt. Waiting for this case to hit some fancy lawyers desk.

Worst Bank Ever!! Close my care care card right in the middle of my progressive insurance payment. Almost made me lose my car as a result of their stupid tactics they do to people. Well guess what, now you can POUND SAND for the remaining payments too. I'll give you notice about paying the same way you notified me on closing the card, after you took my payment for the insurance. Really

I made a large payment because this bank is messing with my card utilization. Almost 2 weeks later they still have my funds on hold because it was a large payment. I was told they would report it on the 29th, and you guessed it. They still haven't processed it. I was told now that an additional 2 days later that they would finally process it and report it to the credit department. Never again will I use them. They will report usage almost the same day, but will take their sweet time to update your usage.

Had a loan for 2 months, made 2 payments already and today I was going to make the 3rd payment but showed as late and with a $30 late fee. I was not late; I have been paying one month ahead. However, according to the lady on the phone, if I make a payment before the statement is issued the payment does not count towards that month but counts towards the month before, so they are counting 2 payments in the first month and no payment for the second month and charging a $30 fee. Never have I been charged a fee for paying early or before my statement was issued. Ridiculous!

The customer service department is absolutely terrible! Long long waits on the phone. Representatives are not knowledgeable, have gotten different answers to the same question. If I didn't have a Sam's Club account I would never use this bank. Terrible, terrible, terrible and I never write reviews. Have wasted so much time trying to deal with them on mistakes they made.
