Synchrony Bank Checking Review from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas
On Dec 2,2015 synchrony Bank mailed me my RMD. I informed them it was the wrong amount and on Dec4.,2015 they mailed out a second check. I notified them on Jan 5 I hadn't received my checks. I sent them their form to void out the two missing checks. I had to pay a notary and special UPS fee. It is now Jan. 20,2016 and still no checks. I contacted a synchrony bank supervisor, Ryan, and he said if I don't receive my check by Jan 22, 2016 they would mail me their check void document where again I would have to pay another notary and delivery charge. I asked what happens if I don't get that check. He said they would have to do it all over. They refuse to electronically transfer my money to my bank but will accept electronic deposits into them. I want my money and will transfer all my money to another organization.

I had my Lowe's credit card (Synchrony) payments set-up to be paid online through autopay. Apparently, the autopay stopped taking money out of my account in September 2015 unbeknownst to me. My credit card was cancelled by Lowe's for delinquent payments. The...

If you're on auto pay, you've got to know that funds didn't come out of your bank account. Try checking your bank statement every few days. It's your money.

I would like my account reopened since it was not my fault that autopay quit working and no one informed me of delinquency.
Synchrony Bank Carecredit Account Review from North Miami, Florida
Took out a 17 month interest free line of credit with Synchrony at my vet. I scanned their application from a poster on the wall that read "interest free." Fast forward 45 days, I start reviewing collection calls for a "rooms to go" account. I don't have one but as it turns out my mom does. Yup that's right, they confused us. Meanwhile the calls continued. Over 6 calls per day from 7 AM to 8 PM. They were collection calls for the credit care account as well. My original debt had gone from $496 to $583 in just a month due to "late fees." I explained to them that their "late fee" was tantamount to a usury charge and at that NO time prior to signing up with them was I EVER informed that a minimum payment was required. Had I known this I would NOT have taken out the line of credit under any circumstances. They even reported on my credit which I didn't find out until yesterday when I tried to buy a car and the screwed up my credit!!! Finally I was so upset I paid the balance but feel they are operating deceptively. My mom has been going through the same thing too on her rooms to go account. Had I known I was getting a line of credit with Synchrony, I wouldn't have signed up because I could have seen their complaints online.

DON'T USE UNLESS YOU HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS!
I needed a dental crown in January 2012. The cost seemed very high but I had 6 months to pay it down. As fate would have it, I then was told that the gum graft I had not been able to afford was necessary asap, another 6 month option. I am on a fixed income and lost my savings to medical expenses; Care Credit was my only option - AGAIN! Here comes the fine print! Ask your dentist about this, too. By doing Care Credit, the clinic charged me an extra $300 on EACH of the 2 procedures, telling me this was to cover the carrying charge they pay CC! So there I had one crown +$300 and one gum graft + $300!. Then the 6-months couldn't be paid off, so tack on 26.99% from day 1 for the crown and again for the graft. I have made more than the minimum payment every month since January, 2012. It is now October 2015 and my balance remains at just over $2,000. In fact, the balance now due is more than the balance of both procedures had I not used Care Credit. I now need another $1,200 of dental work by a dentist who will not charge me his carrying charges. However, because my income is not sufficient to pay off in a few months, the 26.99% will again be tacked on. Fortunately, my dentist has agreed to carry my payments as long as I do not miss any payments. Care Credit has left me disastrously cash strapped. Please don't use them unless you have no other choice. It could mean a lifetime of debt! If I could find a way of recovering anyting, lowering interest, ANYTHING, I would love it. Any ideas? Please let me know!

I can not believe this company can get away with their promotional "no interest" plan. Their selling point is that you have a no interest plan for health related issues if payments are made timely. They do not tell you that if the ENTIRE BALANCE is not paid off they...

I keep trying to sign in to pay my bill and it keeps rejecting my password and sign in. It then asked if I wanted to change my password and then they ask me for a code.
I type the code and they keep rejecting it, I try again and on and on, always rejected. I am 80, not perfect eyesight, but I know I typed what I saw. How do I pay my bill if you don’t let me sign in.
Thank you Edward D. Kelley

Thinking about opening a CD at Synchrony Bank?
You may want to think AGAIN. The maturity date on your CD is NOT the date that YOUR funds are available to you. Their practice is to make them available the NEXT business day, which could be Monday or Tuesday (if Monday is a holiday), and if the CD matures on a Friday. Then, if you want your funds transferred by ACH to your local bank account, they artificially delay that process multiple days, when a next-day effective date to reach your bank account is available & possible. So, you may not see YOUR money in your bank account for up to 10 calendar days after your so-called maturity date. Save your breath with the complaints - they have highly scripted and stonewalling responses to anything you may have to say. Don't plan on using that money for something important to you anytime within that 10 day period. NO TELLING how long it may take to get a physical check mailed to you with the proceeds.
