I once closed my account only for it to be re-opened 4-5 months later by them with a debt balance assigned. Long story short is that someone I'd previously transacted with owed them money so they determined that they would take it from my account and recover it from me. I complained the Financial Ombudsman in the UK. They agreed with my position that it was unreasonable for me to be held financially accountable for people I've transacted with indefinitely. Paypal stuck to the line that "You cannot close your account in order to avoid a debt". Despite the fact that I had no debt, except the one they assigned me several months after account closure, out of nowhere.
