Well, My old PayPal account got Hacked, so my Bank contacted PayPal and cancled the account for me.
I have now got a letter saying If I don't pay this £456 debt they will send dept collectors. So some 1 Hacked my paypal, bought loads of stuff and im getting done for this :s
Does any 1 know what I should do?
I had the same problem, same letter etc..Quote:

Well tbh, it sucks to be you right now.
But seriously, phone the police and get this sorted out ASAP.
Ring the police ASAP then get it sorted with PayPal. If you leave it too long they add "accruing charges" and then the amount goes up rapidly that you owe.
If you're under 18 though then you're probably gonner end up in trouble cos it's against their T & Cs so you won't be able to verify your ID or anything.
Yeah, do the above but i would get a parent/gaudian if your under 18 to stop you getting to maybe evan more problems. Good luck getting it sorted.
Damn. ;(
Ring up the police.
Because PayPal can't sue or take you to court, they have another company to do that.
And because im under 18, PayPal or the other company can't do any thing.
Exactly, you're not 18, so the agreements weren't valid.
eek. i dont think theres anything you can do..Quote:
