I was sent a letter from Covergent stating that Paypal Inc has sent a creditor to collect debt. The debt stating that I owed $40.00. However my current paypal balance was and is $0 and all my previous statements state that my blanance is also $0. I never received an email stating that I owed money from paypal nor did they ever state that I was in debt. Do I still have to pay or is it a scam?

I had the same issue and figured out how to handle it and have the debt removed through legal recourse. If you can send me an email at <removed>. I can help try to help you with it as well.

@TrevorJones I am an attorney, I’m currently investigating the conduct you described, would you like to schedule a time to have  a phone conversation about your experiences as part of my investigation?
