Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I check my credit bureaus every month to ensure accuracy. This month the credit bureaus are reporting for the first time an open account with PayPal credit. I have no such account.

In response, PayPal has told me that I do have an account with them open for several years ( although with a XXXX balance ). This is not possible as evidenced by the fact that never in the past decade has such an account been listed by the credit reporting agencies.

To close an account, PayPal requires a phone call to a live representative. When I did so and explained the situation the representative told me that they would investigate the account as fraud and that the account would remain open until the conclusion of the investigation. I explained that I simply wanted the account closed. I was told I could only do so by verbally acknowledging the account was valid while I was being recorded. 

The fact that one of the largest online entities on the globe will allow an account in their name reported online on their website but refuse to allow online account closure by the consumer underscores the deceptive nature of their business practices -- the company opens credit without notice or authorization and then makes closure of the account more difficult.

PayPal says it has closed my account.

I urge the CFPB to institute an investigation into the credit lending practices of PayPal credit.
