The megaladon link worked for me. Dunno if it's working for others. Here's the original post. Hopefully this is ok because there's no identifying info in it, and the OP deleted the account anyways.

So theres two different parts to the story that I need help with.

So to begin, back in December, my paypal account went negative. This happened when it didnt have enough funds from my bank to cover the payment and my paypal went negative. They then charged my bank multiple times to try and get the money. (I am a minor , age 16, not sure if it is legal or not, read somewhere it wasnt) I am asking about this now because I just recently read that it isnt legal for paypal to take money from a minors bank account (this account was under my name and had no affiliation with my parents). I eventually paid it off (it was around 800$) but I had to cover all the fees that they charged my bank (ended up being over 400$ in fees).

This is my second issue with paypal. Now recently my paypal is negative around 1400$ from a chargeback and I am still 16 but paypal has had debt collectors send the FIRST letter (they sent it today March 30th.2017) where it was a "Demand for Payment". The organization is called NCO Financial services. (I read everywhere that these people are evil , but dont have much power)

I dont really know what to do, advice would be great. Also not sure if its legal for the NCO to demand funds from a minor.

Note: The first issue and second issue are COMPLETELY unrelated to each other, and are two legal issues that I have concerns with. If there is a possibility i can get that 1000$ back from the first issue then I will do it. My paypal is current negative 1400$ from a chargeback, and is why paypal sent the debt collector after me.

I also read somewhere to send them a letter saying something about requesting the proof of debt.

Thanks

Any help would be great honestly, if someone could help me with both issues it would be much appreciated.

Important to note that I made this paypal account since 2010, I cant remember the exact details and If I lied about my birthdate or not. Even if I did lie, im sure there is some protection I can do to not recieve these debt collection letters.

I also do not have a SIN, which means I have no credit rating

I read this on a forum (paypalsucks),
