How to take UK PayPal to court, please help!

dallis · #23 09-30-2018

I know OP is in the UK, I converted the Pounds to US $.

The bottom line is still the same wherever OP might be.

What real attorney, on either side of the pond, is going to handle a case for damages of 600 Pounds? It's ridiculous.

Any ethical attorney is going to point out it's going to cost 3-4K just to get it into court.

There's not going to be any real attorney suing on the OP's behalf.

The UK equivalent of small claims court is going to the their only option.

Is it possible to include the seller who scammed me as a 2nd defendant within the same court case along with PayPal without having his UK address!

I only have his full name and his PayPal email address and the PayPal full details, I can’t get his UK address from eBay as he is not registered with them and PayPal are not willing to provide any information.

The case will be raised via Money Claim Online (MCOL) which allows to include 2 defendants.

Please let me know.

Thanks

I'd just do it against paypal seeing as you don't have the guys address.

It's much simpler in the UK, you don't need an attorney, you literally just fill this form out online:

Hi guys,
The case was sent to PayPal registered London office but I still haven’t heard from them.

Shall I send them a soft copy by email as well to ensure that they have received it!
Please let me know.
Thanks

Here in the UK the court has given them three weeks to response.

They will answer eventually. When you make the claim. You have to say PayPal Europe.. not just PayPal..

If PayPal don’t answer it is even better. It means that they loose the case.

JamesNorth101 · #36 10-10-2018

But then it has to be enforced and that is where it get a bit tricky

You should not send them any email. There is an ongoing court action. If they do not respond, it is their problem.

Hi guys,

Time is now over for PayPal to respond, I still haven’t received anything from the Small Claim Court and I am not sure whether PayPal has actually received the case or not.

Now, before I request a hearing date from the court, this will cost £80, shall I get in touch with PayPal!

If they don’t answer , there should not be any hearing, right? You should just get the judgement.

I would move to the next step!
I wish you good luck and success with this! Paypal needs such actions to better respect their customers!

Ask for judgment and you'll win it by default, I think they can still reply until you've asked for the judgment. You should get the fees paid by Paypal aswell once you've won anyway.

Znomo1444 · #44 10-23-2018

Hi guys,

I have requested a County Court Judgement already and will keep you guys updated.

Thanks for the help and support I got from you guys so far.
