Carvana Processes New Registration Instead of Plate Transfer Despite Written Confirmation
Carvana explicitly confirmed via chat that a customer existing license plates would be transferred, then processed a new registration instead.

This pricing architecture disproportionately affects early-scale startups.
Bank of America Credit Card Marketing Misrepresents Offer Terms to New Applicants

Bank Overdrafts Customer Who Followed Teller Instructions on Returned Check
Wells Fargo teller instructions directed a customer to return excess cash from a cashed check the following day; the bank then overdrafted the account for following those exact instructions.

Moving Container Company Delays Shipment Due to Unsigned Agreement Never Sent to Customer
PODS failed to send a required rental agreement to the customer, then used the unsigned document as grounds to delay container shipment during an active move.
