Attorneys - Paypal

Posted By: Fred C

Last month paypal (without my consent) started billing me electronically. I always received paper statements in the mail and never authorized electronic payment. To make a long story short the paypal idiots said that they sent me an email stating that this transfer would occur unless I told them otherwise.

My bill never arrived and I didn't pay my June bill. I've paid in full every month prior to that and I have never carried a balance in the past. When the first paypal idiot called they indicated something about owing them $33. I couldn't figure out what that foreign bill collector meant. I called paypal back and spoke to someone and understood what was happening. The $33 was a minimum payment. Well, I told them to put me back to paper billing and I'd pay the bill (about 3 weeks ago). About a week later another call came through from paypal. I told them I hadn't received the bill yet. I told them to send another bill and don't call me back. In the past two weeks I've received no less than 10 phone calls from paypal. Two the past weekend at 8AM on both Saturday and Sunday. I called paypal today (Monday, 09JUL07) and told the US service agent to tell their foreign counterparts to stop calling me. The person in the US said no problem, they would not call for at least four more days and then only to see if the bill showed up. Well, I have received three more phone calls from those idiots today and I would like to know what I can do to them legally to stop the phonecalls? Who can I turn to? Is there some government agency to make a complaint to?

Thanks!
