I had changed the email associated with my account in Sept 2022. I am still getting notices about monthly statement to the old email. I've contacted help twice. The first time in October and they said I needed to give it more time to take affect. The second time they suggested the email to the old email address was a phishing attempt and to send to their phishing team. (99.9% sure it wasn't but I did anyway). They never responded other than 'thanks, got it). I just got another statement to the old email address.
Before another hour with the help/support, I thought I'd ask here. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

If you're receiving monthly statements of your PayPal account to your old email address, you can reach out to our team by clicking the contact us option at the bottom of PayPal page or send us a message through our Twitter(@AskPayPal) and Facebook page for additional assistance.

Thanks for commented, but that isn't any help to me. I already changed the email address, but some part of PayPal is still using the old email!

Hello @sixvowels17,
Welcome to the PayPal Community! I'm sorry to hear you've run into some road-blocks getting a hold of our Customer Support and updating your email address.
When you add a second email address to your account, you will want to confirm it first, then make it the primary email address, and then you should be able to remove the old email address. Once you remove the old email address, any and all notifications should go to the new address.
I hope that helps,
