I called to close my account and was told I would be sent a check for my balance. A week later I see my account is still open. I tried then to close myself online and I get a message Account Can't Be Closed. I have no open cases and PPCredit has been closed as well. Robot chat can't help ether. So I have called and used chat with no results. What options do I have left?

All you can do is persist, if customer services can't help you then there is nothing anyone on here can suggest unfortunately.

They didn't say they could not log in, they said they could not close their paypal account.
They want a cheque sent and the account to be closed.

I've been trying to close my account for over a week and paypal will not let me close my account either. It feels like I'm being held hostage by this company.
