Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Can't stop withdrawals from your account
Company: Klarna AB
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Klarna Dispute Resolutions has been incredibly unfair and inaccurate with their services to myself, the consumer. As you will read below, this company is not in favor of the consumer and only sides with the merchant in fraudulent cases. 

I purchased a payment plan with Klarna for the amount of {$2000.00} ( including the interest charged ). The merchant on Klarnas behalf did NOT provide me with ALL of the goods I was promised. I was told to attempt to reach out the merchant, XXXX XXXX, XXXX. ( illegally selling an online DIY law course to consumers come to find out ) to rectify the situation. Unfortunately, I was threatened with legal action on her behalf for breaching her contract. Absolutely at no point did I sign, nor could XXXX provide proof of this contract I agreed to. I stated again, to XXXX  XXXX that she did NOT provide me with the goods I signed up for and paid for, and was again met with threatening emails from her. At this point, I did have to reach out to my bank to dispute this fraudulent charge from the payment plan as I did not receive what was promised. I then contacted Klarna, where I was met with 2 people I spoke with on 2 separate occasions both unsure and asking me to re explain the situation as if nothing was noted. I was told a decision would be made by XX/XX/year>, and then when I called back after not hearing anything after a week, I was told a decision would be made on XX/XX/XXXX. It is now XX/XX/XXXX, and Klarna sent me a generic email last night at XXXX XXXX  stating that they were unable to rule in my favor due to the merchant providing a valid proof of delivery to the correct email address. Not once did Klarna ask me to provide my proof, screenshots anything. They immediately took the merchants side with no explanation from me, the consumer. The problem is that I did not receive the entire goods from the merchant. Furthermore, I was unable to get ahold of anyone higher up via Klarna dispute resolutions. After taking my card off of Klarnas website, I was then charged 3 times in a row for said purchase. I am very disappointed and this has caused me so much stress and overdraft fees. I hope a resolution can be made and this issue can be addressed and properly attended to in an honest manner.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute an account that has been reported on my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. After reviewing my credit report, I have found discrepancies that need to be addressed immediately. 

Furthermore, it has come to my attention that despite my dispute, your bureau has failed to conduct a reasonable investigation into the matter, which is a clear violation of the FCRA. The FCRA mandates that credit bureaus must conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed items on a credit report. The lack of investigation not only violates my rights under the FCRA but also undermines the integrity of the credit reporting system.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024 I was traveling in XXXX XXXX. I paid for a taxi ride via credit card and was overcharged. The taxi was supposed to cost about {$35.00} USD but I was charged {$870.00}. The cab driver showed me a tablet with the agreed upon amount, but when I checked my account later is was charged a different amount than what he showed me. I was not given a receipt. 

I filed a dispute with Bank of America which they denied because I did not have a receipt. Based on my conversation with their support, they made no attempt to contact the vendor to confirm or deny this dispute. It was solely denied based on me not having a receipt with no other investigating done. I asked for all documentation related to their investigation which they said they would provide within 2 business days but never received any documentation.

Additionally, they must confirm that the transfer of the alleged account was conducted in good faith with the consent of all parties involved. If LVNV FUNDING LLC can not furnish this sworn statement, I insist on the removal of the account from both my credit record and their records. LVNV FUNDING LLC XXXX

Complaint narrative:
There is currently a {$2300.00} charge on a Best Buy credit card under my name that is attached to my XXXX  report. A credit card I personally have never inquired or sought after. I have called XXXX to put a credit lock and alert on my account for a year, and have called multiple banks ( including best buy ) who indicated nothing with my social has been opened. But, this is clearly false because on my credit report, there is a best buy charge, where it shows I opened up a line of credit ( someone else did, identity fraud ) that is clearly lowering my credit score and my identity is under threat.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I want to emphasize that the inclusion of erroneously reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises concerns but also constitutes a clear breach of the regulations outlined in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, which is part of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically safeguards consumers from unjust billing practices and requires accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment linked to these accounts has been diligently and promptly made within the designated timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also violates the legal protections afforded under this statute. It is imperative to rectify this situation promptly to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.

To Whom It May Concern, Please be advised this is my SECOND WRITTEN REQUEST. The unverifiable and incomplete items listed below remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your first investigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Please be advised that your company continues to report these unverifiable and incomplete items. These accounts can be considered falsified revenue and illegal by the IRS due to the fact these said accounts have been written off as a tax deduction. How can a payment be collected on an unverifiable and incomplete account, that has already been recorded as a tax deduction. These actions could have severe penalties for falsifying revenue reported to the IRS in accordance with the General Accounting Principles ( GAP Standards ).

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of tangible evidence validating its accuracy, along with the dissemination of unsubstantiated information, represents a clear breach of the legal framework delineated in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This regulatory violation is not only disheartening but also frustrating, given the imperative for compliance. Thus, I strongly advocate for the expedited removal of this account in accordance with the law, unless sufficient evidence is promptly provided to validate its legitimacy. Failure to address this issue promptly only exacerbates the frustration stemming from the disregard for legal standards.
