Consumer Complaint: PayPal closed my account for no reason and will not help me with getting it back up and going. I am not sure if this is some mistake as I assume it has to be. I have not been able to get help from them for months but I just remembered I could file a report on here as I feel they are not doing their job properly and it is effecting me a great deal as I used PayPal quite frequently. My email linked to my PayPal is " XXXX ''

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2021 I was sent an email from Paypal , Inc. Stating that my account had been limited and I was no longer able to use their services or hold an account with them. They made the claim that I was " Selling XXXX oriented Content '' Yet I have not used the account to sell anything in years, and when I did it was never anything of a XXXX nature. Looking at my transaction history shows I haven't sold anything to anyone, I have only recieved money from family, the same two people who have been sending me money for years. Paypal in making this false claim against me has frozen all the money I have to my name for 6 months wrongfully and had made a massive inconvienience on my life. I have attempted to contact Paypal , Inc. And they refused to do anything to resolve the issue or provide me with any further information.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: I have been contacted -- called directly, my sister has been called, and I have been getting physical mail -- by XXXX XXXX XXXX. Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CO, XXXX They state that I owe {$8400.00} from PayPal debt. I have contact PayPal directly and have confirmed that I owe no such debt, and they have advised me not to give any information to this collections company as it is likely a scam. I couldn't get the company I " owed '' the debt to over the phone from XXXX XXXX unless I gave them my information, but that is what is listed on the letters I am being sent. The main person calling is XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX but the number has been changing since I continue to block their calls, previous numbers are : ( XXXX ) XXXX, ( XXXX ) XXXX ) and she refuses to release any information to me about this debt unless I give her my Full name, date of birth, and last four of social security number. When I refuse I am sent to a " manager '' who yells that they already have all my information and need to verify that it is me, asking me to comply and give them the information they need. At one point they said in order to verify they needed to call me back to " set up a secure line. '' At this point I hung up and have been blocking their calls but they are rather relentless, and it is now harassment. They have called my sister asking for this information as well -- I am unsure how they got this information. The first call was on XX/XX/2021 and have been consistent since then to present. Recently I have now been getting letters from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding this debt as well.
