Complaint narrative:
Klarna, a buy now pay later company, was used to purchase an item from XXXX on XX/XX/year>. The item was returned IN STORE on XX/XX/year>. Klarna has been contacted XXXX or 7 times since then via chat AND telephone with the latest contact being today, XX/XX/year>. Their agents REFUSE to do anything other than " report a problem '' or tell me to contact XXXX. I contacted XXXX twice and both salespeople told me the same thing on XXXX occasions. We ( XXXX ) returned it in the system, Klarna has to do their part now. When I give them ( Klarna ) the information on said problem about the return, they say I didn't give any information, which is a flat out lie at this point. I have gone back and forth with them several times, and each time they have a different excuse AFTER making me wait weeks or months for a " decision ''. I have spent HOURS just trying to get my item returned with them so they won't charge me. They will be charging me {$47.00} for an item that was returned, which is basically theft on their part as I paid for a product I returned, therefore have no product and they would be stealing my money. DO NOT USE KLARNA EVER!!!!!!!

Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Credit Bureaus Failure to Conduct Reinvestigation for Account with XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear Sir/Madam , I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a critical issue with the reinvestigation process on my credit report as mandated by the regulations outlined in 15 USC 1666 ( b ) and 15 USXXXX XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ) ( i ). The credit bureau has failed to remove a late payment from my account with XXXX XXXX despite the necessary steps being taken on my part to rectify this incorrect information. 

I recently disputed the presence of a late payment on my XXXX XXXX XXXX DATED XX/XX/year>, which has been negatively impacting my credit history. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I have the right to an accurate and fair credit report. After my dispute, the credit bureau was obligated to conduct a reinvestigation into the matter and ensure that any inaccuracies are promptly corrected. 

Despite the statutory obligation, the credit bureau has failed to carry out a proper reinvestigation and correct the inaccurate information on my credit report. This negligence has not only affected my credit score but also compromised my financial well-being.

I request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter urgently and ensure that the credit bureau complies with the regulations stipulated under the law. I am seeking prompt action to rectify this error and restore the accuracy of my credit report. 

Attached to this letter are supporting documents relevant to my case, including copies of correspondence with the credit bureau and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution. 

Thank you for your prompt assistance in this regard.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
