Paypal Debt
Well I kind of got myself into a little trouble with paypal by getting myself into around £550 of debt, a debt I shouldn't even have.
When I was buying PC parts I made an American Paypal with an American address that I got from a Re-Ship company so that I could get my PC parts for a lot less than I would pay over here, not something that's illegal or anything. Well some things came up and I ended up sending around $900 from the American Paypal to my British one so I could buy other stuff but all of a sudden Paypal up and decide to reverse the money to the American Paypal and then fucking limit it so I can't send the money back to my British one. I had already spent the money when they done this so now my British Paypal has had a negative balance of £550 for around 20 days and I just got an email saying that I need to pay today or else they'll hand the matter over to a debt collector. I done some research and found out that this company that they use don't actually knock on your door or anything (they say they will though) they just simply harass you until you pay up. But the thing is, how can they get me to pay them when it was them that put me in debt in the fucking first place. I'm confused as to where to go next, I could tell my parents but they'd probably be mad at me for getting myself into it even though I didn't. Any help guys?
