Consumer Narrative
We had a Paypal account that we used. Our credit card was linked to the paypal account along with our banking account. We hosted an exchange student a few years ago now and helped her obtain a car while in the US. We moved money using our paypal account. They froze the account and wanted a copy of our driver license and other information which we were not comfortable providing. We have requested multiple times for them to close the account, but they will not unless we provide sensitive information. If this information was not required at the opening of the account I do not believe we should be providing it at this time. There is no cash balance or anything like that it just needs to be closed to avoid any future fraudulent activity. We have tried multiple times in the past and tried again as we received an email from paypal to validate a transaction. This transaction is not something we did.
