YOU will spend money. They wont. It will cost them nothing. Seriously, what can you possibly sue them for? WHta can you take them to court for if no funds are lost? What are your damages?

So, they dont want to do business with you. You think threatening legal action will make them want to? What judge in this world would make a PRIVATE company do business with someone they dont want to do business with?

So over the past decade+ of ebay I have blocked a few thousand users. What paypal is doing to you is exactly the same thing as that. When one of the blocked people ask why they are blocked(when they can even get a hold of me) I either say, "Because I don't want you as a customer" or I don't say anything at all.
When they complain more or say I am horrible, or threaten actions because I wont sell to them, I say, "If I am so horrible and you are going to sue me and report me to the BBB, why do you insist to do business with me?" and never reply again.

Paypal is doing the same thing to you. It is exactly the same. You have ZERO damages and will cost paypal nothing at all. They wont even reply to your attorney most likely. Why would they?

They do have SOME money and they are holding MY personal info. I only gave that to them because I was going to use PayPal. Now that I'm not, they don't have a right to keep my info. What if they get hacked? The hackers get my info. eBay was hacked a few months ago, and Anonymous DDOS attacked PayPal to death for a few hours. If they get hacked, my info is leaked when I didn't want PayPal to have it in the first place!

Therefore, the solution, close my account. That's all THEY have to do, and it will save them a lot of time and money.

Your information is saved by EVERY SINGLE INSTITUTION you have ever gave it to indefinitely long after you are no longer walking on earth.
That is just a fact of life.

If your though process worked, we would all hire an attorney and have them delete the account and then reopen an account. Banks and credit card companies and credit bureaus, facebook and schools etc....

Even MySpace has your information, IP address, etc...from a decade ago. That information is saved forever, even if closed and or deleted.

I don't know because their policy is they can't tell me. The letter will also get that info from them.

After you are all done, it would be great if you could scan in your attorneys demand letter in .pdf with all your private info removed. I would love to send them a few demand letters.

Just an FYI, don't send the demand letter in the attorney's name unless they represent you. That is illegal. And I would only recommend demand letters if you are SQUEAKY CLEAN. Otherwise, it could blow up in your face.

What does that mean? (Squeaky Clean). Also, the attorney is going to send it.

Nonetheless, I don't want my account open. I will maybe sign up in 10 years or something but probably never.

You are naive, you already accepted the terms for paypal when you signed up for them, they will have this in the privacy policy and YOU accepted this. What is the point to waste money on a lawyer? You will loose, time and money (which you can use to make others accounts with), the lawyer doesn't care about your ethical point of view he makes money from YOU and Paypal have very powerful lawyers, and they (ebay) lobby the US gov. Additional to this they are a malignant company, they want to make you loose, they want to make you feel demoralized, they want you to be dead, this is why they hide behind these terms and "credit rating" to give them an excuse to suspend you and keep YOUR money and they make the INTEREST from it, while this money is put into there "cell companies" in offshore locations, indirectly this does affect people and they know it. Understand how the enemy thinks and understand yourself, that is how you win them.
