Paypal Limited - Associated with Negative Balance
Hi there folks~
Been digging around this forum for the last day or two, and decided to just go ahead and post.
Last week, someone transferred $150 into my paypal account (Account 1) and I promptly went to transfer the funds into my bank account. A day or two later, I received a message that my account was being limited because it was associated with another account (Account 2) that has a negative balance of $159. I have used Account 1 without problems for at least 5 years. In most cases it was used to pay for items. Occasionally, I received money as well through small sales on ebay, but I do believe the recent $150 transfer into the account was the most that has been in there. I had a couple of bank accounts associated with Account 1 as well. As for Account 2, it appears to be an account that was in service back around 2002/03. At that time, my financial status was seriously malaligned and it comes as no surprise to me that now, some 8 years later I find out that I had a negative balance of $159 in an old paypal account. Long story short, I was forced to file for bankruptcy in 2004 and apparently this paypal account wasnt included in my discharge.
I just dont get how now...8 years later they can come and take my money. Is there anything that I can do? If this was only next year I will be finished with the bar and hopefully an attorney by then...
