PayPal Holdings, Inc. Credit Card Complaint

Unsolicited issuance of credit card

Unsolicited issuance of credit card Ohio

On - -, 2015, I attended a sales presentation by - hotel and resorts in -, FL. After a 5-6 hour sales presentation, after being promised the presentation would take no longer than 2 hours, they pressured us, like I 've never been pressured before ; we were worn down, exhaused and confused. They gave us reassurance that we could own a time share for approx $50.00 per month, as they kept asking us what we could afford to pay. We told them that was our limit, in no uncertain terms. Shortly before they made the sale, they presented with me a pay pal line of credit card, in my name. I assumed I would have to give them my personal authorization to open up this line or any line of credit as I have had an extended fraud alert for the last 7 years through experian, transunion and equifax. To my chagrin and astonishment, they went ahead and opened up this pay pal line of credit, without ANY consideration of my ability to pay. It was apparently, I later surmised, opened on my credit score alone? I 'm not even certain about this. And conveniently, they paid THEIR Wyndam


guard the most. I learned later that they tried to qualify me by opening an account with -, which was denied. Also they tried to qualify my husband and he was denied to. WE do NOT have the ability to pay for this, feel that our consumer rights were violated in more ways than one, and we are in the process of returning the timeshare to -, who make it clear that they will not offer us a penny in return. Still we want to be free of this organization forever. Please reconsider this debt we owe to paypal credit, as we feel is is not ours to repay as we were violated and I believe scammed. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter!
