Well this thing just keeps on going!
Part 1 to 3 are here https://karl-smith.com/never-use-paypal-guest-payments/
Part 4
Today I was contact by a debt collection company to get PayPal their £67.75 back from me.
That I don’t owe them. For an account I don’t have.
I paid Westcot Credit Services because I want to stop being harassed over this money.
Thats the -£67.75 I paid ItalSpirits with a box of broken glass refused delivery, the +£67.75 Amex reversed based upon me raising a case, the +£67.75 PayPal refunded me that ItalSpirits requested, the -£67.75 Amex repaid the original transaction, PayPal perused me to repay the -£67.75 which I paid on Monday the 14th of April.
So ItalSpirits has £67.75 they should not have that PayPal has no record of even though it was credited through the PayPal Payment Gateway. And Westcot has £67.75 I paid them today, to stop the harassment from PayPal.
So I’m now £67.75 out of pocket the original transaction.
So why call this a Scam, well because PayPal hounded me for a repayment that had already been made by Amex see the letter on the previous post.
I actually feel quick sick from the stress since it has taken me 30 years to build a good credit rating and PayPal want to take that away from me for money I do not owe.
You be the judge of their behaviour and practices.
I still don’t have a PayPal account and never ever want one.
On the positive side I have been contacted by the PayPal complaints department since I have raised a complaint about this whole episode.
I still have an open case with Amex which will be even more interesting now that PayPal has stolen £67.75 from me.
I will keep you updated.
Just remember no company or corporation is too big to not loose their license to operate, if I can be shown that their practices are criminal, and the theft of £67.75 is criminal.
