What happens if you extend your due date on Klarna?

Does extending due date on Klarna affect credit score?
If you need more time to pay, extending your Klarna payment date won’t harm your credit score. Even if a consumer fails to make a timely payment, their credit score will not be affected by utilizing Klarna’s “Pay later” options.
Both the “Pay 30 days later” and “Instalments” (previously “Pay in 3) plans offered by Klarna’s “Pay later” option never charge interest or fees. When customers use either of Klarna UK’s two most popular products, they do not sign into a governed credit arrangement, which means that the company is immune from some regulations.
Klarna does a mild credit check on the consumer in order to utilize the “Pay 30 days later” or “Instalments” payment plans. This will not affect the customer’s credit score or be accessible to other lenders in any way that the credit bureaus keep track of such things.
A customer’s credit report might be negatively damaged if a lender reports late or missing payments to a credit reporting agency (CRA). For these services, Klarna does not notify the CRA if a payment is late or not made.
Why can’t I extend my Klarna payment?
You cannot extend your Klarna payment because the particular invoice does not offer a due date extension, the due date has already been extended once, or the due date has expired.
1. The purchase does not include a due date extension.
Not every purchase qualifies for the opportunity to extend the payment deadline. Only if a grace period is included in the terms of the sale, may the payment deadline be postponed.
After logging into the app, users may choose the invoice they want to pay later in order to see whether the postponed payment option is available for that transaction. When an invoice’s due date cannot be moved forward, users must complete the payment by the initial due date.
The due date for a Financing statement also cannot be moved or altered in any way.
2. The due date has already been extended once.
After the Klarna payment deadline has been extended once, it cannot be changed again.
The deadline for payment on any given purchase may be pushed back one time, by 10 days each time, at no further cost to the customer. However, you may only request an extension once for each order’s due date.
In the event that you will be late by more than 10 days, you should get in touch with Klarna’s support staff as quickly as possible before the payment becomes due.
3. The due date has lapsed.
After the due date has passed, there will be no more opportunities for extension. There is absolutely no way to get a new due date once the original one has passed.
If you need more time to pay an invoice, you must request an extension before the due date has passed.
