Can they use the bank account on my new account (the one in good condition that they closed) to take money to pay off the old account? I didn't admit to it being mine, and they never specifically mentioned anything about it. They just said I was a high risk and refused to say anything else unless I got a legal subpoena. |
I am not sure they can take money out of a new account as it was never attached to your old paypal account. But paypal does what it likes
How old is the account? Your states statute of limitations may have expired keeping them from going after the money. Even though they can pursue it after the SOL has expired, they cannot force payment after the SOL has expired. therefore they cannot attach your wages or your bank accounts if the account is past the SOL.
Go get your free annual credit report to see if it is showing. If it is not then that tells you they do not have enough info to report it. If it is showing it means they tracked you down and know your SSN.
If the debt is still within the SOL then you need to get it paid if they have your SSN. If it is past SOL then they cannot in most cases collect it.
They have to have the attached bank account or turn it over to a collector to get money out of new bank account I believe.
. Look yours up. Since this is a debt now they have to follow the laws to collect it.
