What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
A week or so ago I made a $2000 deposit into paypal from my bank account even though i did not have the money available. It went through and I had the money in my account so I ordered a computer online.
I dont know what I was thinking. I though it would just put my bank in the negatives and then go to collections and I'd have to make payments to them. After doing research I am worried. I didnt know how serious this was and I highly regret doing it.
Should I get a lawyer? I haven't spoken with my bank or paypal since then.
Can (and do you think) my bank will pursue criminal charges? Or will they just send it to collections?
I'm not even sure who I owe now. I have been too afraid to log into paypal and in my bank account. Since the deposit went through and was available on paypal Im assuming my bank is now negative $2000 and that I owe them.
I don't know what to say when I call. "Hey...I needed a computer and decided to see if writing a bad eCheck would work - and it did. I'm sorry I hope we can work this out"
I'm such an idiot. I don't have any priors (other than gettign arrested for underage drinking at 18...is that considered one?)
What should I do?
In all honesty I had this problem once before with gambling a few years ago. Same thing.
I want to get my life together. Ive made a bunch of stupid choices.
