Girard Gibbs & De Bartolomeo File Class Action Lawsuit Against Paypal

A class action suit has been filed in federal court on behalf of a nationwide class
comprised of all persons who opened an account with PayPal, Inc., or its predecessors, or had money electronically transferred from or to an account with another financial institution in connection with a PayPal transaction. The complaint charges PayPal, Inc. with violations of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and California statutory and common law. The complaint alleges that PayPal fails to provide customers with necessary information, such as an address and telephone number, so that customers can easily report erroneous financial transactions; that PayPal unlawfully freezes its customers' accounts; and that PayPal fails to fully compensate customers damaged by erroneous financial transactions.

The complaint seeks to correct PayPal's unlawful practices, and to recover damages on behalf of class members. Plaintiffs are PayPal customers and are represented by the law firm of Girard Gibbs & De Bartolomeo LLP, which has extensive experience in prosecuting class actions and other lawsuits involving consumer financial services.
