BNPL Financing Disbursed to Contractors Before Work Completion Enables Fraud
Point-of-sale financing providers release funds to contractors upon signing rather than upon job completion, enabling contractors to abandon incomplete work. Consumers are left holding loan obligations for unfinished services with no leverage to compel completion. The disbursement structure misaligns incentives and exposes consumers to contractor fraud without recourse.

Credit Card Issuers Close Warranty Disputes Prematurely Without Reviewing Consumer Evidence
Synchrony Bank closed a defective product dispute claiming insufficient evidence despite the consumer having submitted proof multiple times. The bank's internal dispute process fails to properly record and review uploaded evidence before rendering decisions, leaving consumers with legitimate warranty claims denied on procedural grounds. This pattern of premature closures without evidence review is a structural failure in how credit card issuers handle merchant disputes.

Business Credit Card Chargeback Denied for Services Never Delivered
A business credit card chargeback for undelivered services was denied by Truist despite clear contractual evidence of non-performance. Credit card companies systematically deny chargebacks when delivery timelines extend beyond the transaction date, leaving buyers with no recourse.
