That’s why for Financial Assistance, you need to contact Apple Support. They’ll see what’s going on and will run you through the fix.

"When I contacted Apple Support, they said it was a Klarna problem and Apple can't do anything. When I contact Klarna (more than once) they say there is nothing they can do because the system is 'automated,' whatever that means. I'm stuck. Any thoughts?"

"Automated":

So, did you speak with a person at Klarna? It's likely "automatically" withdrawn. OR you are talking to an automated system. I'm not aware of Apple "leasing" and iPhone, other than YOU paying for it overtime. As for iCloud cloud storage, that's where "leasing" comes into play: You are leasing that storage; you do NOT own it (which is why to back it up). If you have no method of payment, then you'd lose it all. Once again, these are Apple forums. So, no on here has access to your Apple Account info (and that is a good thing BTW). So, see if something here is of help: https://www.klarna.com/us/payments/. As it reads: "Klarna and Apple Pay is available in-store on iPhone and online or in-apps on iPhone or iPad. Software requirements apply. Use Klarna’s plans for a service fee, loans issued by WebBank. Loans not offered by Apple. Terms apply."

When I contacted Apple Support, they said it was a Klarna problem and Apple can't do anything. When I contact Klarna (more than once) they say there is nothing they can do because the system is "automated," whatever that means. I'm stuck.

Any thoughts?
