i have been using paypal for over 10 years with no issues, recently they came up with a new product called Paypal balance which is attached to a debit card and can transfer payments from checking or bank debit card. 
i also, noticed you can set it as a preferred method of payment which i did not as i have my credit card on my paypal account as my preferred method of payment and use the PP balance account and its attached debit card for ATM cash transactions only. 
on XX/XX/23 made a purchase transactions using paypal and based on my choice i expected the charge to hit my set preferred method of payment which is a credit card on my paypal account, instead and to my surprise i found out the hard way that money was deducted directly from PP balance account which has my cash set aside for emergencies and groceries when i tried to call paypal and told them that this is not right and they did not have my consent to withdraw from my cash account as i have not selected it for purchase transactions i was fed some mumbo jumbo jebrish talk that did not make any sense! it is the financial entity duty to be honest and candid with their customers and explain how products work in a simple way that the normal person can understand but still i think even with that and from a person who holds a grad degree i thought when i set my preferred payment to a XXXX then my cash account won't be touched

Company: Kriya Capital, LLC
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I disputed the collection account with Credence Resource Management on XX/XX/2023 through XXXX website. I stated, I had no knowledge of the account, in which I received no communication from the debt collector before adding it to my credit report. XXXX has given the debt collector my address which I did not consent to. I will be filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. 

Credence did not notify me by mail that they were placing a collection on my credit report nor did they give me the right to dispute or provide Validation. I know this because they did not have my address.They are in violation of The Fair Debt Collection Practices. This is also my second time going through this with XXXX. They have not been able to send me anything that proves I owe this debt. ( See attached CFPB report ). Until Credence can prove this account is mine, with a signature from me on a contract, the account needs to be removed Immediately or I will file a complaint on them also.
