State: FL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint:
On our PayPal account, we have realized the primary email address was changed without our authorization to a name we have no idea who it is. The communication for an order placed using PayPal did not come to my email address which is why we looked at account to find this horrific finding. 

Even though we can log on and can see things, we can not change the primary email address. It says to call PayPal. We have tried calling every number available and the lines keep saying their customer service lines are very busy and we should go the message center and hit HELP and it will be faster. 

We have done this and it says they will respond in a few hours, and nothing happens : no text or email - which if they are emailing - this fictitious email address is receiving the communication! We tried again and same thing - nothing. 

We can't get through and we can't close account.

Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2020 I received an unsolicited " PayPal Cash MasterCard '' in the mail from PayPal. The card included is real and an account number has been assigned. 

I previously had an account with PayPal but the account has been closed for at least a year, likely much longer. I closed the account due to account security and privacy concerns and specifically requested that my account and all related information be permanently closed/disabled/deleted. 

I have attempted to contact PayPal and their card issuer but their automated system states that they can't handle my call by phone and to login to support a ticket ( which of course I can't do because I don't have an account, other than the new one they have apparently created on their own ). I have also opened a XXXX  case but PayPal has not responded. 

I believe this is a violation of the Truth in Lending Act. Hopefully someone can hold PayPal accountable for their unacceptable practices.
