Phone number changed - can't log in

My mobile number changed a few years ago but I never updated my profile. 

Now I can't log in as Paypal wants to send me a text on the old number to verify the account.

I've tried logging in from a different browser which doesn't work.

Also tried using the Help Chat system, but this also requires me to log in to proceed.

Tried ringing the help support number but spent ages going round and round in circles with the automated options, could not get to a point of speaking to an actual person.

Funny thing is, when I selected 'Ask the Community' to access this forum, it allowed me to log in to create this profile to do this!

Really stuck as to how to resolve. Would really appreciate if anyone can offer some help with this please?

I work for a large charity organisation and I am trying to enrol us to be able to receive donations.

 

A previous volunteer set up the paypal account but unfortunately is no longer with us.

 

The security check is linked to her landline number which is no longer in use.

 

How can I change the password to enable us to log on to it!!?

 

When I click "contact us" as advised in previous threads it is asking me to log in - but I can't when I don't know the log in info!

Hello. I used to live in Prague but I have moved to London, therefore I have changed my phone number. Because of that I am not able to log into my account. I write my email and password and then it asks me to send a message or call (but only to my old number - and it doesn't give me any other option).

 

What can I do? I need to log into my account. I was given a number to call but nobody answers (it only says that the system is busy).

 

Please help.
