Are you absolutely sure your account is going to be force closed as a result of you not being able to log in? I personally wouldn't mind if that was the only drawback of the situation of not being able to get verified via the no-longer active phone number. However, I'm worried that from 16 December (change in  PayPal Terms & Conditions) they will start taking the inactivity fee off my bank account linked to the PayPal account as a result of me not being able to log in and show any activity on it. And that is where this vicious circle has its evil loop... ... View more

Sorry, @jedelmania ,  but your method doesn't seem to work in my case. When I ask to reset my password, nothing is sent to my email automatically. I end up with the info that they need additional information to confirm it's me, and they insist on confirming my phone number, which is obviusly no longer valid, or even active. Also, I tried to contact PayPal via their Facebook site - no response. I am no longer a UK resident, and I still cannot close my UK Paypal account due to the darn inactive phone number, which is linked to my UK account. I even contacted PayPal team in my current country of residence, but they replied that I have to solve my problem via the British PayPal help centre. Losing hope... Can anyone help??? ... View more
