Consumer Narrative
I opened an account with Synchrony Bank for a credit card through Sam 's Club. Everything was great for the first 10 months. I paid the bill in full, every month and on time. Two months ago, I was unable to get online to look at my statement and pay my bill. I went to Sam 's Club to pay what the automated telephone line said I owe, but I have no idea what was charged, or if previous payments were processed on time, because I can't access my statement. I called customer service twice and when I got a customer service agent, I was immediately put on hold, mid-sentence with no explanation from the agent. I waited and no one ever came back. Called again and same thing happened. I want to close this account, but where's the address to do so? Complaints online of mail-in payments not being recorded, or mail being sent back by the postal service is concerning. Other customers are also experiencing these issues. I'm sure you're aware of that. I contacted Sam 's Club corporate to get them involved. And I complained to my local club. Apparently you can open an account easily and pay there, but you can't close the account through them either. Can you help?
