I note OP hasn't clarified whether they've raised a formal complaint yet, presumably because they're too busy fulminating that we're not as angry as they are.urs sinserly,

I won't comment on your complaints as I didn't get beyond para 2, but can I just point out for our other listeners that the phrase is "lo and behold" not "low". Now back to your bickering.0

Mije1983"Just got back from feeding the ducks. Picked up some popcorn on the way home though. Carry on......"
Carry on......up the paypal?
The next installment`s not even on the cutting-room floor as yet.
There`ll possibly be an E.ON version soon.... E.OFF is likely to be their stage name!
Try Netflix for the time-being

When a poster has to start using the term "OP",it`s possible the main subject matter has been lost in a sea of trolling vitriol.0 -

While awaiting the next spluttering outburst, perhaps you'd care to while away some time with a game of Outraged Daily Mail Reader Bingo?
"HOUSE!"
I play a game like that while listening to Radio 4,(Trump,Farage...and the praising of the London Mayor or the prophet who married a 6yo...you know the rest...actually I doubt you do)......I get a full house very quickly,often in consecutive programs,say News,Current Affairs,The Archers,You&Theirs,Wombens Hair,ISIHAC etc,then switch off and spend the rest of my day more creatively.0 -
Another one to add to my ignore list - quite a few added recently.0

No I can’t say I’ve had mine stolen.
Nor do I find myself running out and relying on the transferring of funds from an online source either.
But ho hum0 -

Icoudn`t find a paypal heading,so I must be the only person with issues with them?
Copy of my message posted on their rigged "community"forum...
Title: Pay(you`re not my)pal thieves and liars.
This disgusting organisation is not fit for purpose.They employ incompetent staff and treat the customer with disdain.
On the 8th July`18 I transferred two x £36 that had been sat in my paypal account for weeks.My money! By the 10th,my monies had still not appeared in my bank account,so I withdrew the final £4.85(don`t leave ANY money in your painpal account,folks)...and low&behold it was in my bank account within minutes.That little test completed,I rang painpal and they claimed their systems had suffered a major malfunction between 6th&8th July and that my 2 x £36 would be in my account within the 72 hours that incompetent organisation give themselves.They said that my case had been "escalated"....one of those meaningless company terms used to fob people off with.
Monies still not in my account by the afternoon of Fri 13th,unlucky for some,I rang them and got some squeaky little incompetent,barely out of school I`d say.She was less use than a chocolate teapot,kept me on hold for 30 mins,with the obligatory repetitive noise one has to put up with from this type of rip-off organisation.Claimed to not be able to do a thing about my case.I asked to be put onto her overlords,but I reckon she put me on hold to do her nails,have a cuppa or `whatever` with her supervisor.
I recorded both calls,aim to put them on social media.Something needs to be done about these large organisations that are not being regulated.
Update:Still no money in my account,and it`s Mon 16th.Apparently technical team are looking into it....again...yeah,of course they are!
Paypal email service just sends people around on a loop.
Phoning them in some hut abroad has them telling you they can do nothing about returning the money they`ve thieved from you....and they put you me hold for half hour(again) but don`t put me through to anybody.This organisation is a disgrace.
Anyone any ideas,I asked their little girl today to put me through to complaints and she just said she couldn`t and was going to end the call and she hung up,for no reason.I recorded the call,as with all my calls,anyone recommend the best outlet for these calls to expose paypal?I was shown how to put stuff on youtube yesterday,so may give them a go.
Paypal are a closed shop,a law unto themselves.Loop back to the customer with emails,they don`t answer them,I have three so-called emails from paypal that are not email responses at all.Switchboard operatives who all claim to not be able to deal with one`s case.A self-governing,self-policing multinational organisation that is not fit to run the smallest operations,let alone a multi billion dollar organisation handling people`s money!
What can I do about getting my money into my account and compensation,from these unregulated scumbags?
Wow! Sexist and racist!
You have such a lovely manner, I can't imagine why customer service staff aren't falling over backwards to help you!
I hope you told them that you were going to record the call and asked for the consent to share the recording, otherwise you can't post it up anywhere, or share it by any other means. Doing so would constitute an offence.Can I point out that hyper-correction is a sign of a working-class background.
Oh, we just added snobbery to the list too!
By the way, that isn't an example of hyper-correction. Hyper-correction is where someone incorrectly uses a word form or grammar because they think the one chosen is more prestigious and wishes to appear educated, e.g. using "I", rather than "me".I play a game like that while listening to Radio 4,(Trump,Farage...and the praising of the London Mayor or the prophet who married a 6yo...you know the rest...actually I doubt you do)......I get a full house very quickly,often in consecutive programs,say News,Current Affairs,The Archers,You&Theirs,Wombens Hair,ISIHAC etc,then switch off and spend the rest of my day more creatively.
You just can't help yourself, can you? Let's add in Islamophobia, along with another does of misogyny.
Are you a character from a 1970s sitcom?0
