removing old credit cart and using the new one

I have a situation which  I cannot clear up, removing the old card is impossible, I have put two new cards on there, but Paypal are trying to take from the old account which has been expired for a loooong time.  I am absolutely fed up  of phoning and trying to explain my  husband has severe Dementia but Paypal keeps asking to speak to him, this I have done but all he says to them is I dont understand, of couse he doesnt understand he has dementia,  I am told that I cant open a new account because I dont have a different email to the one registered, we have only one email because now I have to do all the paperwork.  I was hoping Paypal would help me, but no, they want to speak to my husband and so we go round in that circle again.

I do not know what else I can do because I am getting fed up with being told I have to add  funds  this never happened, my bank account is fine, but what   do Paypal expect when the bank queries things.  I can do no more, all I want  is thisi cleared and then both me and Patpal will be happy.

Firstly paypal accounts are for individuals and so it would be against data protection laws to discuss your husbands paypal account with you.

 

Secondly why not close his account and open one for yourself? Its easy enough to open another email address, I have 3 at least plus another 2 work ones.

 

Thirdly when you added your new card did you confirm it? Are there any subscriptions linked to the old card that would stop the card being removed?

 

Lastly when you go to pay for things and don't want to use the card offered then just click on ''change'' and select another one during the checkout process.
