tbh, that was not that relevant. Tis an issue for another time.

I’m not sure I explained this well enough – this is crucial. I mean that when I tried to submit my Direct Debit form on the PP site (ie clicking “confirm account” to get PP to put in the two deposits), the form already had a number of details pre-completed, such as the account number, sort code – and “my” name! After seeing that, I did not proceed with the confirmation and no deposits have been made.

AH. So this is the account that you had troubles with because of the paypal glitch? Likely 'your' info is there in the paypal sysem: try the confirmation steps. THEN if that does not work, you already have 'the record' of 'your name' to speak to them....follow what I mean. You have been thrown off by the name being there as a result of the paypal problem>

This sounds as though it could have potential. I guess the only problem could be if they insist that whatever has my actual name on also has to have my address on! The address is a nearby dentist’s surgery!! A Photoshop-enhanced utility bull perhaps....?



This is my worry; unless I come up with an explanation as to why I have a problem with the name on the DD form, I’m not sure what reason I can give for not going down the “normal” route – ie just clicking the Confirm Account button?

sort number & account number should work OK so pressing confirm as I said above could fix the problems
