Hi mumma2,
Thank you for posting and welcome to the Community Forum!
I’m sorry to hear about the challenges.
When you initiate the bank verification process you can but don’t have to set up the Direct Debit. However it will help making your outgoing transaction much more convenient. You can cancel the Direct Debit whenever you wish. Even then you will be able to fund you payments using your debit or credit card.
Once you initiate the verification process, the 1p with the verification code will be sent to your bank account.
This process applies to both Individual and Business accounts.
If you need any further assistance, I would recommend you calling PayPal Customer Services by clicking onto Contact us on any PayPal page as they will be able to help.
We also provide support via Social Media (24/7). You can contact us directly on Twitter @AskPayPal or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/PayPalUK.
Hope it helps.
