Consumer Complaint: Synchrony Bank employs harassment and scare tactics in order to collect debts. I had already paid my debt, yet receive 8-15 calls A DAY from various numbers attempting to collect a debt that has been paideven after I expressly told them to stop calling me.
They called at XXXX XXXX yesterday and the calls continued through XXXX that night. This happens on a DAILY basis.
The man who called today told me he had a summons in hand and to be ready for the police to show up at my house within the next 48 hours. I said I wish youd show up so I could have YOU arrested for harassment. The number he called from was ( XXXX ) XXXX. The call came at XXXX XXXX est. this same man also told me my credit would be forever ruined if I didnt pay up. He also threatened to have my wages garnished. Again, I have a XXXX balance and have closed my card.
These people absolutely refuse to honor requests for no further contact and call excessively throughout the day and evening. I now understand why Synchorny Bank has class action law suits filed against them. I have a XXXX balance on my account and even closed my card in an attempt to stop the harassment but it continues regardless.
