No person would open a legal / financial account withOUT their legal name.

And I don't have any 'customers' why would I ???

Or is a 'community' forum something else you just 'haven't bother to read'?

So Like many other posts relating to this topic, I am in the same boat as the other posts I have over £500 in my account that I cannot withdraw as my details re incorrect, so what happens to my money? I cannot get to it, so what Paypal just keep it?

I made a silly error with my name change.  I placed my first two initials prior to my surname and PAYPAL picked from somewhere my middle name in full.

 

So now I have my first two initials, my middle name and my surname on my account.  I cannot change these back either to my known name or to my full name.

 

Assistance please?

My bank issues accounts in known names.  My full name is Robert Roy McNaughton - my bank accounts are listed in my known names of Rob McNaughton.

 

My passport has been used as proof of my name, as has my birth certificate and marriage certificate - here in New Zealand abbreviations of names are standard practice.

My problem is, that I cannot even send them any documents.

I've married and I would like to change my name now but unfortunately there is no way to send it to them. I am following instructions for official name changing, then I am on the website where I can upload my documents and after I've done that, there is no button whatsoever to send it! I've tried to do it on my phone and on the pc, I've tried to refresh and do it again multiple times, there is just no button at all. Does anyone else has the problem?
