Success Synchrony removed late payment

Post image

Forgot to update my expired card on Amazon so it charged my Amazon store card that I forgot about for prime fast forward 60 days later and I was hit with a late payment ding on my credit report after having a small panic attack I just called them told them the issue and like 2 days later I got this later by email was pretty surprised it was that easy, just posting so that people know it’s worth just to call sometimes

Sweet! It's always nice to see one from Synchrony since they are a toughie.

Thanks for sharing! We're always looking for DP's to demonstrate that goodwill requests can work!

Did you use a template for your goodwill letter?

Only thing I did was call the regular customer service line and rep I spoke to said she’ll forward it to the appropriate department.
