How do I remove someone else's name from MY account?

Hi

About 6 years ago I opened my PayPal account to buy something on eBay that my husband wanted. I used my email address, my bank account, my credit card. But for that ONE purchase we used his credit card. Now, my account has his name on it and all of my information. How can I go about changing this? I would like my name on the account as I am the primary user and I would like to keep the same account as it does get used a lot. Thanks for any help.

You can only register a personal paypal account in one persons name only, so you must have registered the account in your husbands name.

You can only change names on a paypal account if its a legal change OR a minor typo, you can't change from one user to another.
