    Stay the hell away from Klarna

    Definitely! Klarna is one of the few parties that won’t cooporate when a Dutch citizen gets government mandated debt settlement. All other debt agencies settle and freeze interests as the state takes control of the debtee’s finances but Klarna just stacks interests like there’s no tomorrow.

    The idea behind the scheme is to have the debtee get their personal affairs in order, while an agency (ngo-like) takes care and control of all finances. You get like 50 eur to spend each week but this is also for groceries and all other savings are either used to settle debts, pay rent and other subscriptions and most subscriptions are cancelled with contracts being voided left and right.

    It’s a very invasive, but very effective program. Klarna is, as a for-proft debt agency, not having any of it.

      it’s insane that they don’t because sweden has basically the exact same program.
