A study published in June by a division of Refinitiv found that 23% of Americans who said they were victims of identity theft said their information had been used to open an account with a buy now, pay later service.
In late summer, a delivery service dropped off two packages containing $5,000 in gun parts and accessories at a house in Chino Hills, a community in Southern California.
The buy now, pay later industry, which boasts that companies can safely approve an online credit application within minutes, is susceptible to purchases made with stolen identities. The company declined to comment on Song’s situation, citing customer privacy concerns, but it said in a statement that it was “actively working with law enforcement to hold any wrongdoers accountable” and had “less than .0002 percent confirmed fraud rate.”
Buy now, pay later options allow customers to make payments in monthly installments and avoid most charges if the bill is paid off within a set period — typically 90 or 120 days. The industry has grown exponentially, but the biggest players, including Affirm, Afterpay and Klarna, don’t finance firearm purchases. Credova is one of the few buy now, pay later companies that does provide financing to customers of gun and hunting shops.
