My account was limited some time ago and recently I've been getting emails about payments coming out of my Paypal account so I decided to close my account, however as my account was limited I couldn't close it (seems rather stupid to refuse to close an account which was limited because of supposed suspicious activity). I decided to go through the motions of providing proof of who I am to lift the limitation to close my account but once I did Paypal decided to limit my account permanently because I was under 18 at the time my account was made. So now Paypal is holding my bank and card details in a bizarre hostage fashion as I can't remove any of them with an account limitation. I've tried to send an email to Paypal to ask for a simple closing of my account as I already provided proof that I am the account holder which just resulted in an automated message telling me to send Paypal more of my private information so they can hold that indefinitely too. How can I close my account and remove my bank/card/personal information from Paypal?
