Everything but the login verification is on the correct number, password reset etc but when I try to login it asks for verification code on inactive phone number which I cannot reactivate. Im unable to contact support with said account as it's required to login and if I contact with this account they're no help at all, it's automated bot response.

Contact options for each countries Paypal customer services are accessed by clicking help/contact bottom left of Paypal pages.

1. Paypal phones when available (you can use the guest option if you can't log in).
2. Live chat is also randomly available.
3. You can send them a message, during business hours you may also be able to message whilst logged out.
Or
4. Have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?
You can send them a personal message from their Facebook or Twitter pages.
