Consumer Narrative
Basics ; Synchrony Bank, credit card issued, at store, for furniture purchase. Within XXXX months of purchase, furniture was breaking, Synchrony bank was advised on phone call asking if they had contact information for store I purchased from as they are out of business and my furniture was falling apart. I was told to contact the merchant, to which I replied, that's why I was contacting them, again because THEY ARE OUT OF BUSINESS, with no contact information. Complaint filed, resolution was in favor of Merchant? But there is no contact information for merchant, how were they contacted? No one contacted me asking for more information. XXXX, resolution, in favor of merchant, because merchant is out of business and Synchrony has no way of being reimbursed for money they paid merchant for my falling apart furniture. Out of the reclining sofa, love seat and chair, the only unbroken, working item is the chair. Other than submitting in writing, which no one mentioned, I've contacted Synchrony, telling them I don't feel like I should have to finish paying for an item that didn't last a year, {$1800.00} for something that needed replaced within XXXX months. I will state, after reading fine print, that XXXX of the major requirements is that the item is not paid off, so I quit making payments. Not the wisest choice but I have now taken pictures of furniture and will be sending that in writing, yes, also stated in fine print, which I failed to read. That's on me, not being told that speaking with a representative did not satisfy the requirements for stating that you have tried to resolve with merchant, even contacting Synchrony for that information, and do not feel like you should have to finish paying for an item you have to replace because what you bought from them was faulty, craftsmanship was faulty it is falling apart.
