PayPal Thinks I Stole My Own Identity, Won't Give Me My Dollar Back


By Phil Villarreal on August 4, 2010 1:30 PM

April is thankful she didn't keep a bunch of money in her PayPal account because she can't touch the buck and change she has left in there. Her crime: moving and failing to convince PayPal she's the same person. She says PayPal won't let her re-activate or close the account no matter how much proof she provides.

She writes:

This is my PayPal horror story. I began using PayPal in 2006, and spent a lot on eBay up until 2009 when I lost my job. When I moved, I updated my address and my account was put "On Hold/Limited Access" because they wanted proof of my new residence.

Sure! Sounds reasonable. So, I upload every personal document they requested (utility bills, etc) into PayPal's database.

A month goes by, and nothing happens, the case is still Pending and i'm on "Limited Acces". So, I send contacts to PayPal Customer Service quite frequently, and am never able to receive a response (other than an email, explaining how to log in to my account and resolve the issue there). Beyond that, I actually CALL, and am treated to a Voice-Recording telling me to "log on to PayPal to see how to remove the limit from your account!"

I've been doing research on PayPal (since just experiencing my own consumerist horror story) and how they "limit access" to funds - apparently this is not a new issue, and I should consider myself lucky that they did not with-hold thousands of my own dollars from me.

I supposedly have $1.15 in the account that has now been "Permanently Limited" -- They will not allow me to remove my personal financial information or even cancel my account due to this. Apparently they "suspected ID theft" (though I was never notified) and now -- They have told me "It's our preference to Indefinitely Limit your account, as opposed to canceling the account. It is a Parting of ways, not a cancellation of your account. We just prefer you not utilize Paypal again. Your account can Never Be Canceled since it is in this Limited 'freeze'.".....


 

It continues... long, surreal and sleazy!!!

Oh my gosh, thats the loop hole they are going to use to keep everyones money! So many people are going to lose money! I swear I get upset reading this stuff! Its going to get so much worse, and it is the people that will be devastated, not Paypal. On the one hand it is funny over $1.15, on the other, it is heartbreaking for what is to come......

Ya, I think they are coming out with some sort of protection plan to guard against thyat. It's an offer no one will be able to refuse. rotflolololololol

Multiply that buck+ whatever by x amount of victims per month, then add up all the other 'glitches' x victims, plus the 'mystery holds' etc and things like everyone getting scammed printing the shipping labels etc.
xx cents each or whatever a pop! It all adds up, & they know that no one can or will do squat except whine.

It all adds up to a HUGE SCAM and outright crime, especially in the larger context... No 2 ways about it.

PP is probably in a LOT worse shape than wee are awre of. Look at all the BS policies they are coming out with. I mean, it's a complete farce at the most casual glance.

Also did you read the last update on that Detroit lawsuit?
Hilarious. PP refuses to settle by simply changing their illegal policies.

It is a natural fact they are breaking money transmitter license agreements all over Hades.

They are going for broke because they have to IMO.

muahahahahahhahahahhaaaaaaa

btw, did you click the other link?
