Maybe u could try out xoom or western Union to transfer money to yourself and then shut this a/c forever.Then you can kickstart things by making a new a/c..just my 2 cents
Thanks for your help, but if you read my post then you'll see that's what this whole thread is about - I DID contact them, and they refused to change it. There is no way to prove I'm not just lying and someone who had taken the account - they told me name changes can only be done if I got a legal name change or there was a typo. However, I think your other suggestions are good ones and I will try them. If I'm willing to add a credit card and bank account, then that should prove I'm not just quickly running away with someone's money, right? Hmm. It won't hurt to try again. Thank you!
if your address of your paypal and the CC and back are all same, then i think it is a big proof that it was your account but only the first name is different because of typing mistake... ask paypal to check your bank and CC address which is a big proof of you are the real owner.... paypal sometime give real pain... which cannot be killed by any pain killer...
got it now .....i think talking to customer service is the only option that you have make them believe that this account is yours and you only mistaken with the name .... talk to them over and and oven again ask the agent's supervisor if he/she didn't solve it good luck
ok now you can't change the name in paypal solution left verify your account 1. buy a vcc you dont need a cc with your fathers name: bill or william it works (vcc available on dp for just $5) 2.buy a us bank account to verify your us paypal account( again they are sold on dp for $15 or $20) so now you r verified with just sepending $20 or $25 step 3 create a paypal account and use your name bank details and all step 4 keep sending funds from your dad's verified account to yours and then your bank account simple it may not be a legit process but it the only solution you can have
Thanks, I think that's what I'll have to do. I appreciate everyone's help, but I think I know what I can do now to solve this problem.
Or if you have a bank account with both you and your dad's name on it, then you can add that account as well to paypal
VCC is a good idea... did you try VCC? please let everyone know so that if someone have the same problem then they can know how to fix it.....
Yes, once I get this resolved I will let you all know. I'm going to try and get it done soon, because Christmas is coming up soon and I'm definitely going to need access to my money. Thanks all!
