    wtf, how is that legal? if someone is obligated to pay you some refund, how can they send it to some other private business instead?

        all you had to do was reach second sentence of their comment and you wouldn’t have to assume.

            they put that money into some kind of Klarna Wallet or whatever, by default, instead of in my bank account where the money originally came from.

              Yes. That’s how things like that work. Similar to things like the playstore, or app store and such. Apple/Google/Klarna pays for the product, you pay Apple/Google/Klarna back for the product via whatever means, Mastercard, Visa etc that you attach to their store. If they don’t receive the money from you, your account goes into bad standing with Apple/Google/Klarna, not with whoever they bought the product from, because they received their payment. So if you put a stop on the payment from your bank, it will also put your account in bad standing as owing money for a product you “already received”. It’s a shit way to do things, having a middle person, but to avoid such… don’t buy things through a middleman.

              Want say “Paramount plus”, buy it from Paramount, not using another service who takes it out of your bank because you gave them permissions to upon using their service.

              Thousands of people run into issues because of things like this daily.
