ADMIN – Hi Pam.ela,
If you received calls you should certainly consider filing a claim.
I have received multi calls and still do
ADMIN – Hi Susan,
I believe that makes you a class member. Congratulations! file your claim.
Synchrony Bank is the institution behind Evine, a TV Sales Channel. I found out last week, that Evine would no longer sell me anything, as I “Owed” them $45.60. Please note that I have an Evine credit card, that I could pay in full at any time!!! Of course I make $100 payments each mo. and probably owe just over $100 at this time. My account is current. I ended up paying Synchrony Bank the $45.60, just to preserve my credit rating, which is excellent!! The problem is that I did not owe that much. I did not have 2 of the 3 items mentioned!! I felt like I was being extorted. I wanted to preserve my credit rating, and the only way to do so was to pay for items I did not have!!! So I did!!! I AM NOT AT ALL HAPPY TO BE HELD UP!!!
ADMIN – Hi Patricia,
That is terrible. Have you escalated with customer service for Evine?
yess I have receive many call.
Yes multiple calls pay on time they held payment to get Xtra money. Now midland credit is calling and calling all day
Anybody can help me out to complete my claim form I wanna know this Phone Number(s) on which call(s) were received i might got phone call but I didn’t pick it up I’m filling out my claim I’m stuck on that question that’s why I can’t submit the claim
ADMIN – Hi Ghanshyam,
The form is asking for your phone number where you received the calls. Nobody knows your phone number better than you do.
Oh ok I didn’t read that question correctly so they want my number I was thinking something else that I have to give their number they called me ok anyway thank you!!
Hello. I have an account with Synchrony Bank. I would like to join your lawsuit.

ADMIN – Hi Patricia,
If you are a class member please feel free to file a claim.
I don’t understand this, it says filing time has passed, this is recent. I have definitely been a victim of this. I hate them. How do I join?? Thanks
ADMIN – Hi Sandra,
The deadline has passed. That means you can’t file anymore.
How come proof of these calls can be validated by giving our phone number, yet no one contacted my phone number to inform me about this case? I only just now found out about it by browsing for information on another class action I am part of. Now the deadline has passed and I feel burned all over.
ADMIN – Hi Cindy,
I don’t believe class action administrators are legally allowed to contact people via phone. They do make an effort to publish in common newspapers, magazines and on the web. They also send you something via mail. I encourage you to sign up for our newsletter that way you will never miss out.
Synchrony Bank disgusts me, I had a Lowes credit card that had a zero balance , I paid them off in about 4 months for a washer and dryer I got in April of 2017. They closed my card in January of 208, when I asked why I couldn’t get a direct answer , they just decided I wasn’t credit worthy anymore and I dont know why. In march they reduced my Sam’s Club card from $1000 to $100, stating I was a credit risk do to a report sent to them from trans union. I didn’t get a letter informing me of this . They did the same thing to my sister’s Walmart card , we are so disgusted and disappointed with this bank, and you can never talk to an actual person from the bank , only call centers. We want to start a class action lawsuit
ADMIN – Hi Patricia,
I don’t think you have a good basis for a class action. You can always try.
What is the range of selttlement payout?
ADMIN – Hi BJ,
I have no idea. I know the total pool but not the number of potential class members.
