    It gets better too. I went to log on to PayPal to delete what is an unused dormant account - found the account has an old phone number linked to it so because of 2 step authorisation, I can't enter the passcode they provide so now I can't log on to delete the account. You can't ring them and speak to someone, you can't contact them unless you log on - it's horrendous. I see there are loads of people in the same boat and their advice: log in and change your details....ahh, but I can't log in so I can't. What do I do?
    Use forgottton password to get in and then update the phone number.

    Hi
    Havent used Pay Pal for at least 15 years.
    Received a letter informing me I had to reactivate my account by signing in and buying something using Pay Pal.
    I have until 16th December to do this.
    If I DON'T they will charge me £9 for NOT reactivation!
    Is this fair? A scam
    I dont want it and I refuse to be blackmailed into using something I havent used in years.
    Help please!
    You don't have to buy something. You just have to log in.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
