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?

You can't do anything until logged in, so use the contact information for paypal to get access and then you can remove your card.

I recently opened a new PayPal account, Forgetting that I had a PayPal account a few years prior… A friend has sent money intended for me, to my old account… I am not able to access two possible email addresses I may have used to set up my initial account, I also no longer have the phone number linked to the account…

I have a paypal account that I no longer have a phone number to authenticate so I can get my card out of there because I have a subscription that I want to cancel
