My issue is with Synchony Bank. When ever I am late with my payment with them I start getting approx. 10+ robocalls a day, only after maybe a day or two will we get a auto message that says who they are and to call them, otherwise with the many other calls no messages are left just continuous calls. This will stop when I get online and post the payment, such as recently we posted the payment and haven't heard anything since. I would have to look at my records, but I think they are calling even at the 7am-8am range. My main point is the amount of calls this company sends out daily.

Received debt collection for $200.49. Never received a Walmart Mastercard nor correspondence from Synchrony Bank. Either someone else received my credit card - not sure. I only pay for purchases at Walmart with my VISA card or cash. I am disputing the validity of this debt. I won't pay for purchases I did not make. Acct.# on letter reads 6645

I fell behind on payments to Synchrony Bank because of vehicle repairs, and I have even told Synchrony about this, and they are ringing my phone so much that the battery starts to run low. They call me 24/7 from a "Ristricted" number, and very rarely leave a message. It's Sunday 7/17/16 at 1:20pm, and they have already called me 8 times!!!! It's driving me absolutely crazy!!! I can't get a one hour rest that the phone is ringing with them on the other end!

I am so crazy sychrony financial calls me 4 to 5 times a day. Last i heard according to fdca collectors can call 3 times per day and on the 3rd call must leave a message. They are border line harassing me. I owe 50 on my account i have been ill and in and out of hospitals. They called once and i explained this to them. The next day 4 or 5 calls again. In one day. The reps and the supervisor blamed the dialer. I explained someone puts that information in so someone there knows what they are doing. And when I asked if they knew how many times they can call in a day and even the supervisor said they didn't know. I just think this is shotty and management won't call me. Thanks!
