My friend recently sent me some money through PayPal to pay back a debt, when I created the account I left out a few letters of my name as I wasn’t comfortable giving out my full name for an account I didn’t think I would use. Now I can’t access the money because PayPal is asking for my social security number which I’m prepared to provide, but it would be a different name then the one I provided PayPal with. To change my name PayPal asks for a copy of a government issued id (which I have and am prepared to provide) and also a copy of my credit card/bank statement or a bill to my current address with my name on it which I also don’t have, this is because I don’t pay the bills. Are there any suggestions for how to proceed?
