Chromatic v. Moise (Intermediary Hostility and the Preservation of Tone)

Moise v. The Mirror Court (On the Etiquette of Ignoring Disability and the Panic of Procedural Structure)

Filed date: 21 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-RM-IC0718
PDF Filename: 2025-07-21_SWANK_Addendum_RositaMoise_IntermediaryContempt.pdf
1-Line Summary: Rosita Moise challenges procedural transparency and attempts to undermine lawful intermediary contact by dismissing communication rights.

I. What Happened

On 18 July 2025, Senior Solicitor Rosita Moise, writing on behalf of Bi-borough Legal Services (RBKC and Westminster), responded to a standard procedural notice regarding intermediary contact and communications protocol.

Rather than acknowledging the Court-notified role of SWANK London Ltd. as procedural intermediary, Ms. Moise elected to focus on a trivial issue — suggesting that the inclusion of an Islington recipient in a prior message was sent "in error" and must be deleted. Her response completely ignored the core content of the email: the assertion of disability-accommodated written-only contact and centralised intermediary submission practices, already filed with the Court and repeatedly disclosed.

In dismissing the role of SWANK London Ltd. as a formal point of communication, Ms. Moise not only refused to acknowledge lawful adjustments, but subtly redirected the exchange to center perceived impropriety rather than the documented, accessible, and archived structure I have implemented to navigate these proceedings.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

This incident underscores the Local Authority legal team’s sustained discomfort with any process that:

Removes their ability to control the framing of procedural exchanges;
Documents their contradictions or missteps in an archive outside their internal remit;
Asserts the independent legitimacy of a disabled Litigant in Person using an intermediary framework that mirrors legal representation but answers to no one but the parent.

Rather than acknowledge that I am managing proceedings through SWANK London Ltd. due to medical necessity and judicial disclosure, Ms. Moise chose to:

Dismiss the procedural structure without cause;
Issue an implicit reprimand over a non-substantive CC;
Ignore the very accessibility accommodation I had just formally restated.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is exactly how procedural suppression works: not by explicit denial, but by ignoring disclosures, redirecting tone, and undermining process under the guise of etiquette enforcement.

Because this is the same legal department that:

Received my Equality Act pre-action protocol letter,
Was named in my Judicial Review and civil litigation,
And has yet to meaningfully respond to the medical or legal violations that prompted those filings.

And because the professional contempt for a parent using her own platform and legal strategy is now so evident it no longer hides in subtext.

IV. Violations

Article 6 ECHR – Undermining access to a fair hearing via dismissal of procedural intermediary
Article 8 ECHR – Interfering with private communication accommodations
Children Act 1989, Section 22 – Procedural cooperation and parental inclusion
Equality Act 2010, Section 20 & 149 – Failure to implement known disability adjustments
Human dignity – An official refusing to recognise a lawful communication structure filed with the court

V. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. was not merely copied to protect my health — it was disclosed to protect procedural truth. It exists because public agencies have failed to respond proportionately, lawfully, or with integrity.

When a Local Authority solicitor cannot acknowledge the legitimacy of a disabled parent’s intermediary system — and instead redirects the conversation to a CC field — she exposes not just her pettiness, but her professional discomfort with written accountability.

This post has been archived to ensure future correspondence from Rosita Moise is received with the exact level of aesthetic skepticism and documentary scrutiny it now warrants.

In the Matter of a Litigant Who Couldn’t Speak but Still Made Law Listen

🪞In the Court of Breath and Books

Polly Chromatic v. The Myth of Evasion

⟡ SWANK London Ltd. Evidentiary Archive

Filed Date: 13 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-A09-VOICE-REPRESENTATION
Court File Name: 2025-07-13_Addendum_LegalRepresentation_VocalLimitations_LiPStudy.pdf
Summary: A formal position clarifying the Claimant’s legal representation status, vocal limitations due to disability, and her ongoing legal education as a litigant in person.

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic is not refusing representation.
She is waiting for one that reads.

She has contacted firms. She has provided bundles. She has endured condescension from solicitors unwilling to read more than a page. She has done all this while clinically unable to speak for long periods, her voice stripped away by sewer gas-induced asthma and muscle dysphonia — conditions documented, diagnosed, and ignored.

In the meantime, she studies.
She reads Bromley’s Family Law.
She footnotes. She annotates. She files.

And yet the myth persists: that she is somehow avoiding help, gaming the system, or uncooperative. It’s not uncooperation — it’s overqualification with a side of trauma.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

The Claimant is open to legal representation — but not to uninformed substitution.
Her vocal impairments are clinically diagnosed, disabling, and aggravated by procedural repetition.
She is an active legal learner, studying statutory frameworks and case law to comply and participate meaningfully.
Repetition, re-explaining, and disregard of previous filings constitute procedural harm.
Her position is grounded in lawful rights and informed limitations — not defiance.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because disability is not delay.
Because studying family law while fighting to keep your family is not arrogance — it’s grace under siege.
Because no one should be asked to repeat their pain to professionals too lazy to read it.
Because a woman who can’t breathe shouldn’t have to shout to be heard.

IV. Violations (Implied or Risked)

Equality Act 2010 – Failure to accommodate communication impairments
Children and Families Act 2014, Part 3 – Inadequate recognition of disability
ECHR, Article 6 & Article 8 – Fair trial and family life rights impeded by failure to accommodate
Court Duty of Fair Process – Procedural burdens imposed disproportionately on disabled litigants

As Bromley’s Family Law (11th Ed., p. 612) reminds us:

“The court has a continuing obligation to ensure the process remains fair and accessible to all parties, especially where a litigant’s capacity is affected by disability, trauma, or procedural fatigue.”

V. SWANK’s Position

Polly Chromatic is not evading the system. She is educating herself to survive it.
She is not resisting solicitors. She is demanding that they read.
She is not avoiding responsibility. She is rewriting what responsibility looks like — in citations, filings, and footnoted breath.

And she will keep filing, with or without a voice, until the court system realises that accessibility is not optional.

Formal request for judicial directions following unlawful EPO; bundle filed electronically and by post.

I. What Happened
On the evening of 26 June 2025, Polly Chromatic, acting as litigant-in-person via SWANK London Ltd., issued an Urgent Directions Request to the Central Family Court. This followed the filing of a full evidentiary bundle contesting an Emergency Protection Order (EPO) issued on 23 June. The bundle was submitted electronically, with hard copies dispatched by post. Core requests included: listing the matter urgently, confirming receipt, and acknowledging disability access requirements and U.S. consular involvement. The documents were submitted with full legal formatting, indexed via SWANK’s evidentiary reference system.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

The Court has not initiated timely proceedings following a coercive emergency intervention.
A U.S. citizen and disabled mother has been forced to litigate under duress while coordinating consular protections.
The response burden has been unilaterally transferred to the applicant — who now drafts directions for the Court.
No formal disability accommodations or procedural fairness safeguards were put in place following the EPO.
The litigant's organisation, not the institution, initiated order, structure, and lawful communication.

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because the EPO was fast. The Court’s reaction was not.
Because urgent seizures demand urgent hearings — not bureaucratic backspacing.
Because when a disabled parent must draft your directions list and deliver the bundle herself, the institution is no longer neutral.
Because proximity to power does not excuse procedural absence.
And because every time SWANK is asked to “wait,” it documents what happened while waiting.

IV. Violations

Family Procedure Rules 2010, Pt. 1 – Duty to deal with cases justly and without delay
Children Act 1989, §44 – Failure to review EPO with due haste
Equality Act 2010, §20 – Omission of required disability accommodations
HRA 1998, Art. 6 & Art. 8 – Denial of fair hearing and interference with family life
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Art. 36 – Failure to notify U.S. authorities adequately

V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t oversight. It was jurisdictional neglect, staged as scheduling.
We do not accept delay masked as deliberation.
We do not accept silence as judicial impartiality.
We do not accept systems that seize children within 24 hours, but stall when asked to answer for it.
SWANK does not wait patiently. It archives everything that happens during the pause.
What the court failed to provide, the applicant constructed.

They Could Always Write — They Just Didn’t Until It Became Risky Not To

⟡ “Ah. So Now You Can Write Emails — Just Not Before the PLO Threat?” ⟡
A sarcastic confirmation of Westminster’s long-awaited disability compliance, issued only after public exposure, medical crisis, and police reports.

Filed: 15 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/PLO-14
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-15_SWANK_Email_Westminster_PLOReply_SatiricalComplianceConfirmation.pdf
A satirical, evidentiary reply confirming that written communication — refused for over a year — was suddenly adopted after legal complaints, safeguarding escalation, and institutional exposure.

I. What Happened

On 14 April 2025, Westminster sent a formal PLO warning. On 15 April, Polly Chromatic responded — not with fear, but with irony.

Her reply:

Acknowledges that written communication has finally been adopted — after over a year of refusal
Notes the absurdity of only complying once safeguarding retaliation had been activated
Cites sewer gas injury, psychiatric reports, and police filings as the real triggers for “progress”
Delivers sarcasm as structure — not spite — to expose the timeline of institutional negligence
Sends the record to multiple parties: WCC, RBKC, and the Met Police — for the witness trail

It is less a thank you than a receipt. A timestamped record of coerced compliance.

II. What the Email Establishes

Westminster refused disability adjustments for more than a year
Written contact was only adopted under legal pressure, not ethical review
The institution is capable of compliance — but only when caught
Emotional and medical harm were ignored until procedural risk became too high
Retaliation was disguised as safeguarding — and exposed as retaliation again

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because irony is not deflection — it is documentation. This email confirms that institutional progress did not arrive from policy or compassion, but from pressure and procedural exposure. SWANK archived it as a living example of how disability rights are not granted — they are forced open.

SWANK filed this to:

Mark the date of Westminster’s first written contact — after documented refusal
Preserve the evidentiary tone of coerced, reluctant adjustment
Expose how compliance is often a PR move, not a protection one

IV. Violations (Leading Up to This Reply)

Equality Act 2010 – Sections 20, 27, 149 (adjustment failure, victimisation, public sector duty)
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 14 (discrimination)
Children Act 1989 – Harm caused through administrative negligence and delay
Social Work England Standards – Ignored professional boundaries and ethics until forced
UNCRPD – Article 21 (access to communication), Article 16 (protection from exploitation)

V. SWANK’s Position

You do not get credit for finally obeying the law — after using every opportunity to ignore it. You do not get applause for communicating in writing — after nearly destroying a family’s health, safety, and dignity.

This was not a good-faith adjustment. It was a procedural scramble. And now it is part of the public record.

SWANK London Ltd. classifies this as a Post-Retaliation Compliance Receipt — filed not for gratitude, but for litigation.

Polly Chromatic v Westminster: CMH Access Demanded Following Hidden Hearing Notification and Consular Breach

⟡ “They Scheduled a Hearing Without Telling Me. I Asked for the Date So I Could Tell the Embassy.” ⟡
This Wasn’t a Calendar Query. It Was a Jurisdictional Ultimatum — Filed in Velvet, Copied to Sovereignty.

Filed: 24 June 2025

Formal written demand for the time, date, and access provisions of the upcoming Case Management Hearing (CMH), filed amid active consular coordination following the removal of four U.S. citizen children.

I. What Happened

On 24 June 2025 at 15:04, Polly Chromatic submitted a direct request to her solicitor, Alan Mullem, demanding immediate confirmation of the upcoming Case Management Hearing (CMH) referenced in correspondence from Rosita Moise.

The email made clear:

The need for 72 hours’ notice
The necessity of remote attendance due to disability
The presence of U.S. consular coordination protocols

As of submission, no reply had been logged. No link provided. No hearing time disclosed. Four U.S. citizen children — Regal, Prince, King, and Honor — remained removed under a challenged EPO.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

The court and legal representative failed to notify the parent of a scheduled CMH
Disability access and international status were clearly stated — and unacknowledged
The solicitor was formally instructed to retrieve basic jurisdictional data
The archive was cc’ed in real time — making silence a form of procedural misconduct
The mother was required to chase her own access to a hearing about her children

This wasn’t a scheduling request. It was a sovereignty alert ignored by counsel.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because you don’t get to remove children and then hide the hearing.
Because consular presence requires notice, not retroactive apologies.
Because if the solicitor won’t secure a link, the archive will file the absence instead.
Because this wasn’t a case update — it was a demand written for jurisdictional memory.

IV. Violations

Family Procedure Rules, Part 4 & 18 – Failure to notify party of scheduled hearing
Equality Act 2010, Section 20 – Disability accommodations disregarded
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Article 36 – No consular access to foreign nationals’ hearing
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 6 – Denial of fair participation in judicial process
UNCRPD Article 13 – Legal access and communication denied to disabled litigant

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t about logistics. It was a formal record of denial dressed up as forgetfulness.
This wasn’t a request for a Zoom link. It was a jurisdictional clock ticking toward escalation.
This wasn’t accidental. It was a pattern — and now it’s logged.

SWANK hereby logs this request not as an email — but as a filing of absence, silence, and deliberate delay.
The hearing is scheduled.
The mother wasn’t told.
But now the archive has the timestamp — and the embassy has the thread.

This is not a blog.
This is a legal-aesthetic instrument.
Filed with velvet contempt, preserved for future litigation.

Because evidence deserves elegance.
And silence deserves a citation.

Polly Chromatic v Westminster: Formal Contact Proposal Rejected Pending Consular Oversight and Legal Clarification

Here is your very snobby SWANK post for the formal email titled Proposed Contact – Response from Polly Chromatic:

⟡ “They Proposed Contact as if the Removal Was Lawful. I Replied as if They Still Had to Answer to the United States.” ⟡
This Wasn’t a Response. It Was a Jurisdictional Rebuttal Served Through Velvet and Vengeance.

📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-24_SWANK_Email_Westminster_ContactProposal_ResponseFromPollyChromatic.pdf
Formal reply to Westminster Council’s contact proposal following the removal of four U.S. citizen children — asserting legal objections, invoking consular jurisdiction, and refusing to engage without international oversight.

I. What Happened

On 24 June 2025 at 14:52, Polly Chromatic sent a formal email reply to Sam Brown (Westminster), in response to the council’s proposal for “30 minutes of virtual contact” followed by limited supervised visitation. The proposal was made one day after the Emergency Protection Order was used to forcibly remove Kingdom, Prerogative, Heir, and Regal — four disabled U.S. citizen children — without notice, process, or consular notification.

In her response, Polly:

Refused to waive her legal position regarding the removal’s unlawfulness
Notified Westminster of active U.S. Embassy involvement
Demanded consular observer access for any and all contact
Required disability accommodations for all future interaction
Asserted the need for written court authority before engagement could proceed

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Westminster attempted to proceed with “contact” despite live legal and diplomatic intervention
The parent did not consent, nor accept the framing of the situation as normalised family time
Disability access requirements were again sidelined — and called out
The United States Embassy was cited as a jurisdictional presence requiring inclusion
All further action was explicitly paused by the parent pending international oversight

This wasn’t contact negotiation. It was a sovereignty correction filed from the archive to the inbox.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when rights are violated, you don’t proceed to “contact.” You proceed to court.
Because diplomatic escalation isn’t just a possibility — it’s already in motion.
Because this wasn’t a domestic matter. It was a foreign jurisdiction crisis with children at the centre.
Because every response must now be filed in evidence, not sentiment.
Because Polly Chromatic didn’t reply. She published.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989, Section 34 – Misrepresentation of contact rights following unlawful removal
Equality Act 2010, Section 20 – Refusal to account for written-only access needs
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Article 36 – Failure to involve consular officials in contact decisions
UNCRC Articles 9 & 10 – Family unity and international jurisdiction dismissed
UNCRPD Article 13 – Denial of legal participation in appropriate form

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a parent responding to a letter. It was a legal entity asserting constitutional rights through jurisdictional formatting.
This wasn’t a contact schedule. It was a diplomatic moment archived in font and timestamp.
This wasn’t de-escalation. It was a warning — published, international, and non-negotiable.

SWANK hereby logs this response not as commentary, but as recorded consent refusal in a situation already governed by U.S. and international law.

You may offer half an hour of Zoom.
We’ve already filed judicial review, contacted the embassy, and posted the psychiatric report.

This is not a blog.
This is a legal-aesthetic instrument.
Filed with velvet contempt, preserved for future litigation.

Because evidence deserves elegance.
And jurisdiction deserves a reply.

A one-line boundary that should be taught in law school. The parent writes to say she will not tolerate hostility from anyone, including judges, because it exacerbates her asthma. In a system where aggression is standard and dignity is optional, this message is more than defiance — it’s a clinical declaration.

I. What Happened

She emailed to say:
– Hostile behaviour has become normalised by institutions.
– In her home, it isn’t tolerated.
– It worsens her asthma.
– So does talking.
– And if the court expects either, it’s violating her medical rights.

She said it without formatting.
She said it without fear.
She said it like someone who’s had enough.

II. What the Email Establishes

That hostility is not abstract — it has physical consequences
That even judicial aggression must respect medical disability
That refusal to tolerate harm is not defiance — it’s compliance with her own care
That the parent has clearly stated boundaries based on health, not mood
That normalised aggression is no longer a procedural default — it’s a trigger

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because when the room makes you sick,
you don’t open a window — you write it down.
Because dignity is not an attitude; it’s a clinical necessity.
And because when they bring hostility,
you bring court filings.

IV. Violations Identified

Institutional Normalisation of Hostility in Legal and Social Work Settings
Failure to Adjust for Known Respiratory Disability During Communication
Use of Coercive Tone as a Substitute for Procedural Integrity
Judicial and Social Work Breaches of Clinical Accommodation Obligations
Emotional Endangerment with Physical Health Implications

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a tantrum.
It was a medical threshold.
She told them aggression makes her sick.
She told them talking makes her ill.
She told them it applies to everyone — even the judge.
And if they don’t like that,
they can read it again,
on the record,
with their tone turned down.

I Was Too Sick to Meet. She Was Too Cowardly to Put It in Writing.

Curated by a Mother Harassed by the State in Two Countries for Over a Decade.

The Bureaucratic Push Through Illness

On 29 February 2024, I issued a clear, lawyer-advised request to Samira Issa of RBKC Family Services. The content was direct. The tone—measured. The logic—unassailable.
I was unwell, under medical treatment, supported by my GP.
I requested:
❖ Completion of her section of the Mapping Document by 1 March
❖ Postponement of the planned meeting in light of my medical needs
The law permits accommodations.
My GP confirmed the need.
My solicitor advised it.
Yet: Samira had not complied.
So I included a final clause of lawful insistence:
❝ If you refuse to postpone, you must put that refusal in writing with your reasoning so I may refer it to the hospital and obtain further legal advice. ❞

This is how we hold systems to account.

Not with tears.
Not with pleading.
With deadlines.
With demands.
With law.

✦ Filing Details

📎 Date: 29 February 2024
📍 Recipient: Samira Issa, RBKC Family Services
🖋 Legal Advisor Noted: Yes
📄 Medical Letter Noted: Yes
🩺 Condition: Respiratory illness requiring hospital treatment and aftercare
🕰 Urgency: Mapping Document deadline, meeting rescheduling

✦ Why This Matters

Social workers often act as if medical need is a nuisance, not a legal barrier. When a parent is sick—especially a mother—they presume noncompliance, not incapacity.
But incapacity, especially when medically verified, triggers rights.
It activates legal protections.
It cannot be brushed aside.
So I didn’t ask for compassion.
I demanded procedure.
And procedure is where they always falter.

✦ SWANK Reminder

If they cannot postpone,
they must explain.
If they cannot accommodate,
they must confess.
And if they cannot provide written rationale,
they are already operating outside lawful bounds.

Digital-Only ≠ Access — When a Portal Becomes a Barrier

A formal request to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea for hard-copy delivery of a Subject Access Request, citing disability rights and procedural accessibility.

I. What Happened

On 2 June 2025, Polly Chromatic, Director of SWANK London Ltd., wrote to RBKC’s Data Protection Teamregarding SAR Ref: 15106629. The request was simple: comply with UK GDPR Article 15 and deliver the SAR in physical form by post.

Why? Because encrypted portals and restricted digital formats violate her medically mandated written-only policy.

No fuss. No fight. Just typography that files before they can forget.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Assertion of GDPR-compliant access under documented disability
Clear rejection of digital-only coercion in SAR delivery
A preemptive record of accessibility expectation
RBKC now fully on notice — and fully in the archive

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because institutions love to pretend they didn’t know.
This document removes the luxury of forgetting.

Before they deny the accommodation, before they send an inaccessible email, before they claim “we didn’t realise” — this letter sits waiting. With the date. With the law. With the address.

This isn’t drama.
It’s procedural choreography.
And it’s filed.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept SAR responses hidden behind login walls.
We do not accept exclusion-by-format.
We do not accept "access" that requires a portal and a prayer.

We accept hard copy.
We accept law.
And we accept receipts.

Merrick Bank's Alleged Debt Is Formally Disputed with a Medical Communication Exemption and Demand for Validation

Filed: 2 June 2025

📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-02_SWANK_Email_MerrickBank_DebtDispute_WrittenOnlyPolicy.pdf
Summary: Formal dispute of a Merrick Bank debt referred to Carson Smithfield. The sender requests full written validation and asserts their right to written-only communication due to disability.

I. What Happened

On 2 June 2025, Polly Chromatic sent a formal letter to Carson Smithfield LLC disputing a debt allegedly connected to a Merrick Bank account ending in 9294. The dispute followed a message sent to her on 29 May 2025.

The letter clearly states:
– The debt is not acknowledged
– Full written validation is required
– No phone or verbal contact is permitted due to medical necessity
– All correspondence must be handled in writing only

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• The sender is asserting legal rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) or equivalent frameworks
• Medical disability requires non-verbal accommodations, which are formally declared and policy-linked
• Alleged debts are often issued without verification — this dispute creates a paper trail of procedural resistance
• Financial systems rarely account for disability-adjusted access, and place the burden on the individual to defend their boundaries
• SWANK’s style reclaims formality — rejecting shame, asserting dignity, and documenting everything

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the burden of proof belongs to the creditor — not the disabled recipient.
Because debt should not become a weapon of silence, intimidation, or verbal entrapment.
Because this letter doesn’t just reject a claim — it rewrites the terms of engagement.

SWANK documents refusals that are elegant, lawful, and medically necessary.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that disabled individuals should beg for written accommodations in financial matters.
We do not accept that unvalidated debt can proceed as if valid.
We do not accept that phone-first policies are neutral.

This wasn’t a dispute. This was a recalibration.
And SWANK will file every request that asked the system to slow down, write back, and prove itself.

On 2 June 2025, a formal letter was sent to Apple Card support after the user’s account was abruptly closed, allegedly due to a $500 credit error — a fault not attributed to the user. Simultaneously, a $114.20 dispute was rejected without a supervisory review.

The escalation requests:
– Reopening of the dispute
– Investigation into the erroneous credit and cancellation
– Written-only response due to medical communication needs

This letter affirms the user's identity as Polly Chromatic, with legal name aliases provided, and cites a SWANK policy URL enforcing written-only contact.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• Major financial services can terminate credit access based on automated or misattributed data
• Disputes may be rejected without proper review or consumer protection standards
• Procedural safeguards for medically disabled individuals are not built into standard systems
• Institutional opacity mirrors public-sector gatekeeping: no triage, no apology, just closure
• Cross-institutional harms (medical, financial, administrative) interlock, even in private-sector settings

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is how financial power enacts harm through infrastructure, not intent.
Because Apple Card’s systems rejected both a valid dispute and a disabled person’s right to accessible process.
Because the tech sector now operates with the same bureaucratic mystique as the state — and SWANK documents all forms of algorithmic disenfranchisement.

This was more than a charge. It was an erasure.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that $500 errors should result in credit deletion without restitution.
We do not accept that dispute processes can bypass the disabled with no alternative route.
We do not accept that systems designed by Apple should break at the first sign of friction — and blame the user.

This wasn’t account closure. This was financial profiling in silence.
And SWANK will document every refusal they automate.
