I am about to blow here! :} I moved, and before I did, I changed my old address and phone to the new ones. Now, I noticed my PayPal card was about to expire, so I called to make sure the new would be sent to correct address. They still have old address and won't change it without someone at the old phone verifying the change. I have the account and password. All their emails come to me, so they can email the old place all they want and NO ONE is going to reply. NADA. I don't live there anymore!
Can SOMEONE please help me. The person I talked to on the phone was a total MORON. Did not seem capable of understanding they would NOT get me at old info BECAUSE I DON'T LIVE THERE ANYMORE. Do I just have to start over and open an entirely new account? IMBECILES.

Well folks...I'm just one more person having the same issues as you. I'm directed to the same page that wishes to verify my identity with my old phone # and address.

I had the same experience! I went round and round in a loop with the on-line account update program. Someone must have been monitoring because very shortly after it happened, I got an e-mail from Paypal telling me they were aware I was trying to update my account but for some reason, it wasn't working. I think, for me, part of it may have been that I hadn't used my Paypal account in quite a while. I don't know what they did but as soon as I got the e-mail, I went back to my Paypal account update and everything worked. All my updates "took". Hopefully, you will have a similar experience. I didn't try calling to talk to anyone.

Same here!!!! It also always defaults to the "old" address and I have to be very careful
before I order something that it doesn't get shipped there!!! Why can't they fix this?
