Consumer Narrative
My son sent me {$40.00} dollars from his PayPal account to mine ( This is all relevant to my complaint so please bear with me. ) He immediately realized that he used the wrong card to send me the money. he use his credit card and intended to use his debit card. He contacted me and I initiated a refund. ( this all happened in less than 2 minutes. ) Here is the complaint number he filed against PayPal concerning this issue.XXXX-XXXX. Basically PayPal stole the {$40.00} from him and told him numerous lies to justify stealing it. He filed a dispute with his bank. He kept a verbatim copy of the conversations he had with PayPal, Concerning this {$40.00} refund using their messenger app. He included a copy of that conversation in with his dispute. After his bank read the conversations and saw all the lies PayPal told to him regarding the {$40.00} the bank refunded his money back to him. Yesterday day I log into my PayPal account and I have a message that I have a negative {$40.00} balance on my PayPal cash account. I contact PayPal using their messenger app and they tell me that since my sons bank found in his favor and returned the money PayPal stole from him that I owe PayPal {$40.00}. I refunded the {$40.00} immediately. PayPal even confirmed that I refunded the money ( see attachment PayPal refund XXXX ) and that the refund had completed. I did my part and refunded the money. What PayPal did with it after I refunded it is not my responsibility. PayPal went on record and stated that the refund from my PayPal account to my sons account was completed. Now PayPal is trying to steal {$40.00} from me. I in no way owe PayPal {$40.00}. PayPal stole the {$40.00} from my son and that was fraud. My sons bank ruled in my sons favor and returned the money PayPal stole from him back to his card. How am I responsible for PayPal stealing {$40.00} from my son and telling lies to justify stealing it.? I am uploading the original conversation my son had with Paypal using their messenger. ( See PayPal conversation ) read it yourself. They told numerous lies. Nothing PayPal says can be believed. I am also uploading my conversation with PayPal where they claim I owe them {$40.00}. ( See PayPal lies volume 2 )
