I owe Paypal money & they've passed it onto westcot

[Staara77]

Sigh!

 

Hello all,

 

I owe Paypal money etc and they've been constantly asking for me to pay them.

 

Trouble is I've got a new mobile number, and I've tried several times to login and change, yet they keep asking to send a message to my old number which I no longer have access to!

 

I phoned Paypal and told them about the change of number several days ago, today I try to login-and my number has not been updated!

 

Yet they insist on a phone number (yes I know for security reasons, but what if somebody doesn't own a mobile number, or doesn't want to give it a Paypal?)

 

the debt has been passed onto wescottor westcot-whatever their name is.

 

The most pathetic thing being wescot sending me what clearly resembles a payslip and after having opened it, it says I owe them money blah, blah, yada, yada, yada.

 

I cannot login into Paypal and cannot check what is going on, but I was wondering what will happen now?

 

What powers to wescot have?

Thanks Andyorch

 

But can Paypal do anything themselves?

I mean my credit score has gone downhill-no surprises there 

 

But what shall I do, can Paypal do anything?

I mean I'm not willing to offer anything more than £10 per month to pay them back (like many others due to covid work issues) but I don't know what to do now

What is the debt..PayPal credit or just buying/selling stuff?  And how far does this date back too?

Is this your only debt ?

 

Think about whether you will need a decent credit record during the next few years.

I purchased an item 2 years ago, no selling, just a purchase.

 

I know I should have done something about it sooner, but when I changed my mobile number I tried to login into my account and it kept asking for to send a code to the older phone number-but I no longer had access to this older number, so there was nothing I could do.

 

Yes this is my only debt

if its taken them 2yrs then they cant be very worried about it and neither should you.

 

this shouldn't be on your credit file

old pre brexit eu buying/selling is not uk credit
