Hello, as I see a couple of people have commented again about this is issue and removing funding from PayPal, I wanted to clarify what has happened in this situation from when I posted this thread.
I tried removing cards and linked accounts from PayPal, and it does not work, all I get is this error "We're sorry, we're not able to process your request right now. Please try again later",
I have tried numerous times since this saga began and get the same issue, clearly PayPal put some kind of block on the function.
Instead, i did cancel all my cards that were linked to account,
I do however have a bank account linked,
but I do not have a direct debit agreement,
so I am sure they can't instruct a withdrawal.
I spoke to all of my banks who said they would refuse any PayPal transactions that occurred without my authorization.
just to clarify, in my personal experience, PayPal will not let you remove cards/accounts ( I doubt this is legal?!), but thats how it is with my account at least!
To close the matter, and to help with others who end up in this situation,
Westcot pestered me everyday, twice a day, for approximately 6 weeks, i ignored all correspondence (letters and phone calls).
Then it all went silent and i haven't heard anything since mid December 2018.
Fingers crossed it remains that way.
Thanks for the advice, it really did help me to ignore those DCA clowns.
