Hello,

 

the question seems an easy one, instead of Paypal recently cutting all customer service they didn't update the website and the FAQ is old. 

 

So now I am getting on this issue since time ago is literally a **bleep**ing hell. 😡  😡Not sure why they keep customer service and their FAQ very unresponsive and means that the is an issue somewhere. I have checked my account and I noticed an unauthorized PayPal account activity that came from PAYPAL CREDITS.

 

My recurring payment was set 20£ a month and now this week I noticed they send me a bill of 560£. I didn't authorize this. They just sent me this payment. This is madness.  There is no way to speak with them and the customer service is very very bad recently.😡  I checked all pages on Resolution Centre FAq for my case. All the FAQs are not updated. When you follow the instruction is not work at all.

This is what I get: No way to speak with them, but you need to pay randomly 560£

Ok, I am in the USA but we have a number to call PayPal, you need the security & fraud dept. Google the number in Britain ...& Best if Wishes over the sea...I spent my saturday having a dispute not submit, the logg timevis too short, it dumps your progress & you have to start over after you log back in,at least major banks warn you your timing out, & the site won't take submitting the forms either gives a stupid error window, sitting here like a bigbdummy typing too fast & still won't accept! My account is a business acct. Too! ALL THE BEST Windshadow , Jones
