How to Get Your Klarna Late Fees Waived
If you are an online shopper, you have probably noticed the number of payment services that let you pay for a purchase over several weeks. You link your account to a payment method (such as a debit or credit card), and they will charge you, typically once every two weeks, until the purchase is paid in full.
Unlike layaway, in which you receive your merchandise after it is fully paid, services like Klarna help you get your merchandise immediately. However, things happen, and sometimes you accrue late fees that are added to your next billing cycle. If you want to have your waived, DoNotPay can help.
Klarna Services and Late Fees
Klarna offers two payment options, and the late fee charges are slightly different. These options are:
| Pay in Four Installments | This four-installment payment plan is set up to divide your total purchase over four scheduled payments. You get your merchandise right away, but you make payments every two weeks until it is paid in full.
If your payment does not go through on the scheduled day, Klarna will make a second attempt. You will be notified by email of the unsuccessful payment. If a second attempt to collect payment is still unsuccessful, you will have a late fee of $7 added to your outstanding balance, but it will not exceed 25% of the value of your order. A missed payment will be added to the total of the following scheduled payment amount, and missing payments may get you blocked from using Klarna's payment options in the future. |
| Monthly Financing | For larger purchases, Klarna offers credit options through a partnership with WebBank. If the monthly payment is late, you could be charged up to $35.00 per missed month. The late fee, however, will not exceed your minimum amount due. |
How to Avoid Late Fees With Klarna
To avoid late fees, there are a few things you should keep in mind.
- Make sure your account can cover the Klarna payment and that your bank will not reject or return the charge.
- Extend the payment due date if that option is available.
- Pay the installment early or pay the full amount ahead of schedule.
- In the app, click on My Klarna.
- Click on Payments.
- Select the Order.
- Click Payment Options, and follow the instructions.
- Klarna advises that if you are going through a hardship and need help planning your future payments, you can contact customer service to find a solution.
How to Request Klarna Late Fees Be Waived on Your Own
