What's Wrong?

[URGENT] Account Disabled Immediately After Payment - No Service Access, No Refund, No Support Response

Issue Type

Critical Business Issue: Payment Processing / Account Access / Customer Support Failure

Severity Level

🔴 CRITICAL - Financial Transaction Without Service Delivery

---

Summary

I paid for Claude Code service and my account was immediately disabled after payment completion, preventing any service usage. Despite multiple refund requests through official channels, I have received ZERO response from Anthropic support while the company continues to hold my payment.

Invoice Number: DFON03V2-0005

This constitutes receiving payment without delivering contracted services and represents a fundamental breach of consumer rights.
