This is exactly the problem I have, they've had a few hundred pounds if my money for months now. I've look into this and it's illegal to do that in the uk and they are using American law. They already have my bank account details which is proof of address and identification- I've been using the same bank account for years, so I doubt they can say it's stollen, plus everything I buy comes to my address. I think what there doing is stealing money off people, and making a lot of money from the interest alone. I've contacted them but they just send you round in circles with blanket email responses.
Ive contacted the trading standards in the uk and have ask for a full investigation into this, along with the government as part of the prime minister questions scheme, as well as a few newspapers journalists that I studied with that work for major newspapers for them to look into this and do an exposé. It would be intersting to find out how much money they are stealing off people each year. There are loads of people that are writing about this on the web and it could amount to millions.
as far as I can see there is no way for me to get my money back, we don't have government Id in this country and my passport is in my married name and slightly out of date, plus as a women there is no way I'm sending my photos to a bunch of strangers I've already had a stalker and they have no legal right to ask for it, I'm not standing right in front of them so how can they tell it's me, PayPal are not a bank I have not borrowed any money from them and they make money of me from using the account. If I got a new passport I would have to pay a hundred pounds to get a new passport which I don't need right now.
