PayPal Holdings, Inc. Consumer Loan Complaint

Installment loan Taking out the loan or lease

PayPal Holdings, Inc. Consumer Loan department,

Installment loan Taking out the loan or lease Florida

My name is - -. A few years ago PayPal opened a credit account under my name without authorization, at some point a purchased was pushed to that account. At the time I was unaware of this until PayPal insisted I make a payment on the account or risk my credit report ranking. After some wrangling back and forth I paid the dept and PayPal assured me they would close the account and would ensure it would not happen again. A few weeks ago I got another demand letter from PayPal with regards to yet another " open case '' regarding my PayPal credit account, demanding payment and notifying me they have been reporting the delinquency to the credit agencies. I am refusing to make payments- this account was never authorized by me and I did not want a credit account. My credit is steller and I am virtually debt free- I dont need credit from PayPal and this cycle has to end. What can I do here? Seems nothing I do will stop them from opening unauthorized accounts and feel there is no way to punish PayPal for doing this other than to pay a lawyer out of my pocket to formally get them to stop- however dont believe the financial burden should be placed on a consumer who never authorized an account to be opened in the first place. Please advise ... I 'm sick of this company getting away with things like this.
