Same here... I have over 1000$ in my account and this is serious stuff... I do need my money back or at least a way to transfer the limited money to a new PayPal account with the right info.

I'm in the same situation. It's been months and very frustrating. What causes the bottleneck at Paypal support to process name change documents? I would expect bit more timely support from such a big company that handles people's money. 

My official calling name is my third legal first name. Also I've moved to another country and despite being a very usual scenario the system nor the support is able to process my transfer needs. I also don't have the money to call US service numbers.

Please if you have support's email address send it to me. 
Cheers from the Nordics!

Hi!
 
I used my mom nickname till I'm 18 and got my own bank and now want to change it for a real name. I sent my doc proofs lots of time and now I got this:

And I even cant close this account and remove my bank details. Very, very upset with the Customer Service here.

I had the name on the account to my Virtual Assistant's name. I have $2.5K tied up for over a year now, and they simply tell me I can't do anything to unblock my account and retrieve my money as my name does not match. Their **bleep** policy does not contemplate these scenarios we have. I only have 2 options: find a person that matches my Virtual Assistant's name or open a company with that name. Both options suck.
