Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

First, if you deal with PayPal and do not own a phone that is rooted to override screenshot disabling, uninstall the PayPal phone application. It blocks screenshots, and at the same time sends a message that a screenshot was successful. Do not use their application, because it stops screenshots you will need to prove payments, should you need to get around their arbitration and use small claims in it's place. You don't ever want to let any bank talk you into using Arbitration instead of small claims as these companies are paid by the bank, and will rule in the banks favor, no matter how strong the evidence is, that they are in the wrong, and worse, an arbitration judgement, carries the same weight as a court ordered judgement in most states, so don't get caught in this trap!!

Past few days, I have written several articles, on bank and credit fraud. This came to be when I caught on I wasn't being charged the 11% interest as agreed, and that companies, including PayPal, have been compounding interest on a daily scale, down to the minute!

You want to make sure you screenshot your loan payoffs with PayPal, and other banks, so never use their applications. Always use a secure browser, that they can't easily disable screenshots like they do with their applications.

So here is what PayPal did to me today. After I caught on to the fact I was being charged 30%, on a $4800 purchase that got split into 7 pay it later accounts, which was actually supposed to be 0% if I paid entire balance in 4 months, and 11% after, found out 20 days after purchase, I was being charged 30% compounded daily. The 7 loans were broken up into 12 and 24 month. 

I went to pay the first loan of the 7 off, took a screenshot of what they said the payoff amount was, got a message generated by their application it was successful, yet my phone beeped a warning that it took a screenshot and had to bypass a block. After the loan was paid off, which was $258 for this one, a new message replaced the balance with $303, which was interest calculated for 24 months. This purchase is only 20 days old, yet even paying it off they slammed on over $300+ in interest fees??? They won't get paid a dime more on this by me, and most likely will have to use small claims to force PayPal and Syncrany bank to remove those fees and any bad mark on my accounts.

As for the other 6, same thing happened. Shown the payoff amount, and by the way, changed to browser to do this, just to be safe. As I paid each loan off, the system tagged on two years worth of interest. Worst was over $800+. The least worst was 13 cents. 

So why is PayPal and Syncrany doing this? To squeeze extra fees out of their customers. They don't make money on loans paid off, so imagine paying off the loans like I did, and not catching on that they added on these fees after. They will hit each loan, including the 13cent one, at $30 a pop. That's $210 in one month. 

PayPal has already received a warning small claims subpoena from me via email. Don't know what that is? Read my other reports. 

PayPal will not get an additional cent from me. Not even the 13 cents, let alone the $800+. My bank is also well aware what PayPal is doing and have now blocked them from all my cards, so if they recorded their numbers, they will always get declined. 

PayPal, shame on you!

PayPal stealing funds using their Pay Monthly System

#2Author of original report

 You can see my other articles related to this update looking under happy shopping, BlueCare Express, and Amazon. Back in October 2022, a merchant using imbedded code was able to sneak themselves on an existing legitimate order, where it showed up after processing. That seller has since been banned after being investigated. The portion they attempted to sneak onto the invoice has been voided, yet PayPal has refused to correct the monthly payment agreement, despite being contacted by both the merchant and myself. Paying off the balance is my only option to stop PayPal from getting unearned interest. PayPal is forcibly trying to get 100% interest via their 24 month payment system. For example, the invoice was $2000 with a $100 pay back per month for 24 months. After the fraudulent sale was removed, the invoice was $1000. The 24 month payment schedule should have been adjusted to $50 a month for 24 months, but instead PayPal is still forcibly trying to get the full $100 monthly. This means they are getting $50 a month interest. Pay off the $1000 balance, they get little to no interest. If you have canceled or corrected orders with a merchant that uses PayPal, you may want to check your financing page, as despite the funds being canceled or refunded, PayPal isn't changing the interest they are trying to collect. For me just paying the balance will stop the theft, but for those who don't have this option, small claims can come in handy as a last resort. In any case, check your payment plans with PayPal, you may be paying for invoices that no longer exist.

Check your balances weekly, especially with Synchrony bank!

 Syncrany bank, handles most if not all of PayPals credit accounts, not to mention almost every retailer. They are also one of the few most dishonest banks in the USA. If you pay your entire balances off each month like I do, there is no interest, no fees, that's it! Pay them off, you shouldn't have to worry. With Synchrony, you need to watch them like a hawk, if not daily, at least weekly. Every loan by them I paid off, they manipulated the actual pay date, which is why I screenshot all payments. They will always use the float pay excuse, but in reality, the day you pay them is the day it counts, not when they decide to post it to your account. Today, I got a warning from Amazon, also financed by Syncrany bank. They too were paid off in full and never used their card again. So what was the warning Amazon sent me? Turned out, Syncrany bank charged my card $10 in interest. Interest on zero balance. Should hear the recorded phone call with them, which I was allowed to do here in California when they said they too were recording. Always check your state laws on this, they differ in every state. They tried to make me pay, then saw my history with my other accounts, and notes from last small claims they lost, and quickly removed the interest. As I said in my previous reports, every account they handled, that I paid off in days of billing, they still added interest days to weeks later, on a zero balance. Ignoring even 13 cents can hit you with a $39 late fee if not addressed. Also, don't let them ever tell you it's a one time courtesy. You pay off the entire balance, you owe them nothing further. Screenshot everything, and as a reminder, don't use the phone applications, use a secure browser when paying or making payments. A phone application will give you a false successful message, and it's that screenshot you need in small claims, if it comes down to it. Not the bank statement that will only show when Syncrany chooses to post Payment. The way they work, they will have your funds the next day to do what they want with, but wait up to 21 days before posting it to your bank. Think this is my fifth report on them in under a weeks time. It's not that I keep using them, it's the merchants who split up the large orders into smaller when shipping that resulted in my dealings with them. Today, I removed any and all banks and merchants that deal with them. But for those who don't have the option to use other funding sources and stuck using Syncrany, watch your accounts! Even when you pay them off, watch them. Synchronys bread and butter isn't the interest they make, it's the late fees they tag on, and it just takes overlooking one penny to do it!
