Is it possible to change my account to my mother's name?

Hi. Well at the time being I live with my mother and she shares my paypal account although it's under my name. I have no problem with this until it occurred to me that one day I might move out and the problem with that is she had used paypal credit on my account and that is her debt. I never have used any paypal credit ever since it's been available. I know paypal says it's impossible to change your name, but not sure how else I'd go about this. Of course, I wasn't thinking at the time and I'm pretty sure when I decide to move out she'll act like it's my debt to pay... just because she is like that. Is there anything I can do?

Your mother would need to open a new account in her name if she desires to have a PayPal Account as you won't be able to change the name to another person's name.    (As far as the PayPal Credit balance or payments - that's something you have to work out with your mother.)
