PayPal Debt Collection Complaint

PayPal Debt collection department,

Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine Kentucky

In - 2015, I received a notice from a company named - - - - stating that I owed a debt to eBay. I called this company and also eBay and reported that I do not owe this debt as I had never sold anything on eBay. I also reported this to the local police as a case of potential stolen identity. In - I received an email from eBay claiming they were reviewing this claim. On - -, 2015 I received a letter from another company named - - - claiming I still owed eBay a debt. Apparently eBay allowed someone to link to my account without proper verification and now wants me to pay for their incompetence. I have already spent a great deal of my time attempting to resolve this issue. With my personal time and cost of consulting my attorney, this has cost me over - times the amount that is claimed that I owe ( $89.00 ). This has become quite an ordeal as well as generating a great deal of stress on me and my family. I am physically ill and I am concerned that this will adversely affect my excellent credit score (


I believe that they are purposefully attempting to beat me into the ground '' in their attempt to collect a debt that is not mine. I have also spent time researching this and discovered that anyone can link to your eBay account without appropriate identification. I am shocked that a company such as this operates in this manner. They also do not cooperate with police agencies as they have thrown many bureaucratic hurdles in front of the investigating officer. Thank you for reviewing this complaint. I believe it is a microcosm of a much larger and systematic pattern of illegal practices by eBay. Most people probably pay rather than deal with this abuse.
