Domestic (US) money transfer Other transaction issues Florida

I linked my - - - checking account to PayPal and then used PayPal as an intermediary to pay a friend. I was given the impression that PayPal would deduct the amount I wired my friend from my checking account, similar to how Venmo payments occur. However, this never occurred. Instead, by linking my - account to PayPal, PayPal slyly opened a credit card account unbeknownst to me and used the " funds '' on this credit card account to pay my friend. This credit card account is now in collections and I have been referred to a debit collector for an account I was never aware I opened.
