PayPal Consumer Loan Complaint

Installment loan Taking out the loan or lease Alabama

I created a Paypal account a while back. I was using the traditional debit function only for a long time and it worked fine. During - of my purchases in -, after I logged into my account on the payment page, Paypal defaulted my payment option to Paypal Credit, which is a credit option they offer. In order to get around this default, assuming I noticed it, I would have had to know to go up to the top and select the Change '' link next to Payment methods '' in order to pay the traditional way. After that, a customer service rep. insisted that I had to have filled out information that set up my credit account ; however, I am very skeptical of this. I do not remember doing this, and I know that I


had to explain to him that it was the default option. I went back and simulated another purchase. I did not have to make such selection ; it was the default method. When I started receiving statements, I looked on my activity page and saw that all transactions were completed. I just assumed that these were statements informing me of my activity. I saw no indication of an outstanding balance in my activity. Only when I got a paper statement, opened it up, and saw the amount due with a very expensive late fee did I realize that something was wrong. I am not sure if this practice is illegal, but it is certainly unconscionable.
