I have had a PayPal account for about 8 years now in good standing. Recently my account was locked and all of my funds are unavailable while it 's locked. They say they WILL NOT under any circumstances unlock my PayPal account or give me access to my funds until XXXX debts are paid from old PayPal accounts that do not even have my name on them, they are not mine and never were mine. This is in complete violation with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I can not have my funds held and my account locked because of somebody elses debt. This is also defamation of character to insinuate that I actually abused their service somehow and in some way am attempting to avoid a debt or steal money. This PayPal account is what I use to run my business to earn a living to feed my family. It is utterly shocking that a company can do this to myself and many others with NO repercussions what so ever. I searched the internet and it seems that all these practices they are doing like this are in violation of XXXX thing or another, so why is this company continuing it 's underhanded practices without paying every time it 's found that they are in violation? This is enough to make anybody sick. ( I have not retained council, YET ), but I do have a legal team for my business and they are pushing me to sue instead of making all these attempts at getting a resolution. I hope this gets fixed because we are calculating ALL damages on a daily basis and right now we are already into several thousand dollars and XXXX lost employee. This is libelous plain and simple.
