Ellie2323 Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) So I made a mistake and financed furniture for my first place. I was young and idoitic and signed a contract that stated all sales final. The contract also stated that I had seven days to get a refund for the merchandise. The merchandise was not in store and the company had to order it online. After a good nights sleep something felt off and I searched the furniture store and noticed most people got furniture that was nothing like what they wanted. I called both the financing company and the merchant to make good on their seven day policy. I never reccieved any furniture and did not walk away with anything. The merchant gave me the run around and said there was nothing they could do. The account was closed May 1st but re opened and charged May 14th. I disputed the charges as the furniture was never attempted to be delivered. I also mailed a cease and desist to both the merchant and the fiance company within the seven day period. The financing company said that I could not dispute the charges and that the contract was binding. I let them know that I still had not reccieved anything from the merchant and the financing company disputed it again. I checked my credit and the balance on the credit card dropped to zero. Is this because it’s in dispute? The balance did not decrease the first time I disputed it. I was young and made a mistake I’d just like to know my options.

Ellie2323 Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Yes it was issued for store use. It’s from a bank called synchrony financial and I live in Nevada. This happened in May of this year, so a couple months ago. The furniture was for my home. I called the merchant several times within the seven days as well and they continued telling me all sales final. But I never reccieved anything!

ICANHASMUNY? Posted July 20, 2018 File a complaint against the furniture store ; just be more concise about date and times, and leave out all the personal stuff - you don't have to provide a reason for the cancellation - state that they didn't follow thru with Synchrony regarding their 7 day policy with the cancellation of the contract. - That they only cancelled the furniture & delivery , and that synchrony is attempting to charge you for merchandise that was never delivered and credit reporting that yo haven't paid the bill - it's really up to the furniture store to legally tell Synchrony that the transaction was cancelled - http://consumeraffairs.nv.gov/About/File_a_complaint/ - Deceptive trade or fraudulent business practices Failing to make a refund for the good or services in accordance with published refund policies File a BBB Complaint too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However after close assessment of the contract the merchant sent to the financing company I noticed they altered the delivery date by removing it entirely. Should I make note of that as well? The merchant is also saying they refused my cancellation. 10 hours ago, ICANHASMUNY? said: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ICANHASMUNY? Posted July 21, 2018 Did you file the complaint and this was their answer, or was that part of the previous dispute correspondence ? - the Sale was cancelled , you have no furniture, they can't charge you for it. - Simple as that under basic common law - you have a copy of that contract ???? , look for a section that has the words "Security interest " - means they can repossess the furniture if you don't pay up - ask them why they haven't filed for repossession if you're in " really " default ..... heh. heh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m assuming they sided with the merchant in the first dispute because I disputed in May but the furiniture was not set to deliver until June. June has come and gone and no attempt of delivery has been made. I have a copy of the contract stating the exact delivery date. The copy the merchant sent to the finance company ( for whatever reason) is missing the exact date of delivery. I also have receipt of the cease and decease I sent. I sent them through certified mail. I see what you’re saying! I’ll look through the contract as soon as I get home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ICANHASMUNY? Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) "I checked my credit and the balance on the credit card dropped to zero." if there are stating that there is no $$$ due , this really may have been taken care of an cancelled you should call Synchrony one last time to double check before filing the complaint Also, since this was for your Home, personal use , you're in the wrong forum ( this is for Business credit ; as in you're the owner of a business, and working on credit for your own company ) Edited July 21, 2018 by ICANHASMUNY?

Ellie2323 Posted July 21, 2018 I checked my balance of the credit card through credit Karma and the utilization fell to zero. I called the finance company and they did say the balance was still on the card as it is still technically in dispute. Thank you for helping me! Also, I did not know that thank you I will post in the correct section from now on! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
