INABILITY TO LOG INTO PAYPAL ACCOUNT

[Jobehlee]

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.

Who can help to give guidance on the best option open to me now?

Thank you.

Any consolation I am in same situation. Bloody stupid. Tried making new account with different email but PayPal seemed to know I already had an account. Keeping my eyes peeled hoping someone comes back to you. 🙂
