Account Restricted With $2000 Inside, Wedding Payment Lost

I opened a PayPal account in my name, with my bank account, 1 1/2 years ago. A person I shared a place with already had their own PayPal account in their name and bank account. Nowhere does it state one account per address, nor that roommates can't have their own accounts. Both accounts have existed for 1 1/2 years. Then I went to transfer the $2000 in my PayPal account, which PayPal canceled 2 days after I requested the transfer.

Then they demanded a bunch of stuff to verify my account, which already shows I verified my bank account. The excuse they state was that SOME information appears on 2 accounts. Yes, the addresses were the same at the time I opened my account (no longer the case, I moved 3-1-02), and 1 1/2 years later, when I want my money, you restrict my account and keep my money, even though the people have already received their products. PayPal was also made aware that if my money wasn't released, I would lose the $5,000 already paid for my wedding 11-02-02, because they were holding my final payment ILLEGALLY and the wedding would be canceled. Well, I lost the $5,000 and there's not going to be a wedding.

There has been no crime, no fraud, no chargebacks, and they were sent the info requested from both people for both accounts. Now I receive an email saying they want MORE INFO and WILL NOT release my money until the other account is reviewed and cleared, which has NOTHING to do with me or my account. I sent a reply to PayPal letting them know I've filed a complaint, and I contacted the following people: the Federal Trade Commission, Channel 7, Channel 2, Fox News-O'Reilly Factor, and both Senators for California and Nebraska, asking them to investigate the corruption, fraud and theft being done by this company. If you've been ripped off by this company, contact the places above immediately. They've destroyed enough people's lives already. Post this information anywhere and everywhere possible to prevent others from ending up bankrupt, losing everything they own, dreams shattered, etc. They need to be STOPPED!
