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 cannot login to my paypal as the 2 step verification requires a text to a number to a lost phone. Can i still gain access to this account? There is a nominal amount in it but it would be nice to use right now.

I don't know what is going on I know my email and my password but I can't log in first reason is because I have an old phone number that I no longer have access to the second reason is because when I'm clicking change number the app is totally like just glitching out and it's not giving me the option on the browser I just got sent money and now I can't even get into my account because of verification it makes no sense the websites telling me verify through the app and that apps telling me I can't verify because of the number and I don't know what else but I desperately need help right now if somebody can please help me I know I can wait and call tomorrow but I need the money you like immediately if anybody can I was so greatly appreciate it
