Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX Opened a care credit card to help with unexpected pet emergency. Was able to obtain {$2000.00} credit for this. Over time I made payments timely and eventually paid it down but never anticipated closing as I intend to use the card when unexpected medical/dental emergencies or prescription needs would come up. For which every time I used the card, I always paid any balance due off but keeping the account open. Last used was back in XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX office for homeopathic services. Skip to XXXX synchrony bank- creditor for Care Credit closes account without notification and causing adverse action to my consumer reports. They said they utilized credit analysis software to come to decision to close the account. When there was no balance and it was just kept open. They said that even when my score was fair.. my high debt was a contributing factor to close and not continue business. I do believe this is unfair practice especially since I have XXXX other credit cards with the same creditor paid and in good standing but yet those accounts are not in jeopardy of closing. Please help mediate and rectify the account either by helping to reopen it with the same amount for credit or demand them remove any Care Credit consumer reporting information and history from my consumer reports all together entirely. Its upsetting..bc in a time were I had good reporting with them, they decide to harm my scores even worse by closing the account dropping scores XXXX pts. Thank you for your help in this really unfair circumstance. XXXX XXXX

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Charged too much interest

Consumer Complaint: " Care Credit '' is a credit service offered to mostly low income people. It can be applied for veterinarian services as well which is very helpful. Last year, my neighbor 's dog attacked and almost killed my little dog. They did not offer to help me with the bill. It was over a XXXX dollars. I did not have the money so the vet suggested Care Credit XXXX Synchrony Bank ). I was approved but with an enormous interest rate of 26.5 % percent. This is predatory. This is Synchrony Bank forcing extremely high interest rates on low income people in need. Per pretty good credit since, I requested Synchrony Bank reevaluate and consider lowering my exorbitant and predatory interest rate. They just responded that they refuse to do this. " Care Credit '' is a misnomer and people need to stop referring low income people to this credit service. They in fact prey on low income people and their interest rates are predatory. They have also charged me at least {$29.00} in fees! I can't get an explanation why. I am asking CFPB to help me in negotiating a lower interest rate and get an explanation why the fees?. I can say my goal is to pay it off as soon as I can and close the predatory account and never use this credit service again. Thank you.
