I accidentally clicked on pay pal credit when all i wanted to do was set up a checking so i could get funds this way. Now i can't get rid of this please help! I do not want this paypal credit only my debit card is what i want. It won't let me get rid of my account either because it says that i need to pay my balance? What balance? I don't owe anything nor do i want to since i didnt want the credit HELP! I have zero balance but it wont let me close my account to try to make a new one with out a credit please help

I too accidentally clicked on the Credit button to pay for a purchase.  What kind of BS is this?  I don't want your credit.  I didn't sign up for this.  Why is this showing up in my account??????  This is so f'ing stupid.  This was a stupid move, by a stupid person thinking it will be "clever" to put the buttons next to each other.....want an f'ing idiot.

Just call to cancel if you don't want PayPal Credit.

Is it just people who are breezing through checkout and not reading anything? I declined the PayPal credit offer when I happen to see it without incident 😕

Mine is funnier now!

 

Paid off my balence, go to close my account. " you can't close your account untill your balence is cleared". Waited a week. Nope still not letting me close it.

 

Minimum payment due
£0.00
Last statement balance
£0.00
Current balance
£0.00 
 
No pending transactions.

 

Ridiculous.

If you want to know why you'll need to call PayPal and ask.  That's PayPal's policy; you need to call.

Wow, I got scammed into this too.  Credit as a default option for payment.  I went to get a mortgage and they said what is this?  Credit inquiries hurt credit.  This business practice just hurt my credit.  Extremely upsetting.  Shame on you paypal.
