Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: Klarna AB
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I used XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX plan to book an XXXX totaling {$1300.00}. I paid {$200.00} out of pocket ( XXXX installments ). The XXXX booking was canceled, and on XX/XX/year>, XXXX refunded Klarna in full ( {$1200.00} ). 

Despite Klarna receiving the full refund, they only returned {$83.00} to me. The remaining {$110.00} is being withheld by Klarna, labeled as an adjustment or interest. XXXX own chat records confirm they are keeping the {$110.00} as interest, even though the underlying purchase was canceled and refunded in full. 

It is improper and unfair for Klarna to charge or withhold interest on a canceled order that has been refunded in full by the merchant. This practice has left me with a financial loss of {$110.00} despite Klarna being in possession of the full refund. 

I am requesting that Klarna be required to return the withheld {$110.00} to me and that XXXX practice of charging interest on canceled/refunded transactions be reviewed. 

Timeline of Events Original Purchase : XXXX booking made through Klarna ( XXXX XXXX XXXX plan ). 

Total : {$1300.00} ( including taxes & fees ). 

Out-of-pocket payments made : {$200.00} ( XXXX installments : {$120.00} + {$81.00} ). 


XX/XX/year> : XXXX canceled the booking. 

XXXX refunded Klarna {$1200.00} in full. 


After Refund : Klarna returned only {$83.00} to me. 

Remaining {$110.00} withheld by Klarna, marked as adjustment/interest. 


Issue : Klarna has acknowledged receiving the {$1200.00} refund from XXXX. 

Klarna has applied {$110.00} as interest, even though the underlying purchase was canceled. 

This has left me with a loss of {$110.00} despite the order being fully refunded.

State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute on XX/XX/year> with Experian in regard to a XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX account . I had to search online for a number, because there was no number listed on Experian credit site. After I found the number, their representative told me there was nothing she could do to help me settle the debt. I explained to her that it does not belong to me but I wanted to settle it to have it removed. She then told me that the debt is so long, it has been sold and she had no information on who it now belonged to. My report says it has been purchased by another LENDER with no address, or phone number to contact anyone in reference to it. This is unfair because how can I settle it and have it removed from my credit if there is no information on who to contact? This is railroading at its finest!!

State: WV

Complaint narrative:
I'm reaching out to demand the immediate deletion of a tradeline currently being reported on my credit file. The information being reported is not accurate, and more importantly, it is not being reported with the maximum possible accuracy, as required by law. Thats not just a technicality thats a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 607 ( b ).

Let me be clear : If you can not report this tradeline with 100 % precision down to every detail, from dates to balances to payment history then you have no legal right to report it at all. Reporting partial, inconsistent, or unverifiable data is not only misleading, it directly damages my creditworthiness and credibility as a consumer. Thats not something I take lightly.

Provide written confirmation of the corrections and steps taken.
