Synchrony accounts locked!

[Anonymous]

After reading all of this thread, I see many have had their accounts closed.  I'm very sorry this happened.  Hopefully it will all get straightened out.

20 Inq. showing. 17 new accounts in the past 8 months. None in the past 3. No returned payments, nowhere anywhere close to limits ever on any cards, much less theirs. NOTHING shady, or weird going on, on my end. I am at a complete loss. Maybe it is the TU Inq. glitch, but, I dont think mine were ever affected though

Hey BlkCivic!

I'm sorry this is happening to you and I hope everything work outs in your favor. 17 new accounts in the past 8 months is a lot of new credit to add to one's credit profile. I read another thread where someone else was locked out and he/she had 2 new accounts with Synch in the past month. This may have been the trigger. Are any of the 17 new accounts from Synchrony? If yes, how many?

Again, I hope for a positive outcome.

OP, I hope everything works out for you.  UncleB, interesting read, thanks for sharing.  And to those who are saying Sync is the new Comenity, I think it may be too soon to pass that judgement.  As for those who say that they wouldn't care if Sync shut down their cards I ask, why did you bother applying for them or continue to maintain them? I have several cards and I would be upset if any of them were shut down.  Is it the end of the world, no, but to say I wouldn't be slightly bothered would be untrue.  But to each his or her own I guess.

I understand in a way why but it also leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I guess we should've know the chat CLI gravy train was bound to stop and potentially have consequences. I just closed a bunch of mine to reduce my exposure. I was looking for a good excuse to do it anyway.

I will add all the calls to CS for large CLIs at activation and in general probably didn't help either.

THIS CRAP JUST HAPPENED TO ME TOO!!! WTH?! My damn blood pressure is up! All 14 of my high limit accounts, BLOCKED! OMG, I'm so livid right now!! I went to sign into my Ebates account to make a payment & couldn't get in! Then spent a useless 45 min on the phone with the Synchrony Fraud department grilling them & getting nowhere! What can this be?!

Sorry this is happening to you. How many of those 14 accounts have been opened in the past 6-12 months?

All 4 of my Synchrony accounts were blocked too. My internet access blocked. Also said a letter was sent on the 7th. I cussed them out and forced them to transfer me to mgmt. One mentioned IRS.

I am self employed so no 4506-T form for me. I am tired of these crooked banks!!!!!!!!

So, Sync stated that they sent me a letter on 7/3.... its 7/10... still No letter! IF they ever send me one...I will update with what they have to say..

Yeah my 4506-T took about 11 days to get to me.. It's in a blue envelope.. They sent me like 5!!! Why send me 5 with all my info on it through the mail!

Do you have five Synchrony accounts? Just trying to make sense of a senseless mail thing. 

[Creditplz]

Yeah but the thing is, I was told I only needed to send one back.... I was furious at the thought of 4 extra in the mail where you never know what happens!!
