Default Problem with Transferwise borderless account

I have a Transferwise borderless account I've been using for more than 8 months now. The US VBA they assigned to me is linked to my PayPal account and I've always withdrawn my funds into it. Recently, I withdrew from PayPal to this VBA and after a few hours I tried to login to my TW account but I was unable to. I tried to reset password but password reset email wasn't coming in either. So I called support and then I was told that my account had been deactivated. He told me to send an email to their appeals department but they've not found time to reply me for over 72hrs. From reviews I've read online, there's little or no chance they'll reactivate an account once they decide to deactivate it and they won't give one the reason for the deactivation. Meanwhile I don't have the time to chase a seemingly lost cause too, so I just want to ask them to return the funds back to PayPal.

However, my concern is that the account name will have "Transferwise" on it when they return the money to PayPal (although the account number will still be the same as PayPal has on file), will PayPal credit my account or not?

I think this was the same situation when Payoneer started rejecting withdrawals to their US VBA. So you can kindly make a comment if you ever experienced that.
Thank you.

PS: I understand PayPal will remove the bank account from my account but I don't have any problem with that.

You mean TW didn't refund your money or they actually returned it but PayPal didn't credit your account since the account name had "Transferwise" on it?

Both work. I've linked either to a UK and DE PayPal account before and made withdrawals.

TW works well if you have Paypal Romania.

Sure. Since you can add a US bank account to a Romania PayPal account.

Btw, TW sent an email few mins ago that they had returned the money back to the originating bank account (Paypal's) and that it can take up to 10 days before they process the refund. So I'll keep you guys posted on how things go from here.

TW has been problematic lately for PP use given other reports I have read.

Seems that PayPal is really clamping down on these vitual "banks" and transfer agent services. I suspect it's not so much PayPal driving it, but new compliance (banking regulation) AML rules by the FED to combat Money Laundering.

Not at all. The name matched.
TW have been deactivating accounts for reasons best known to them. I got the full refund back in my PayPal account though.

When TW deactivate your account get them to send the money to another account in your name.

You don't withdraw to a vba by the very nature of the term.

Got my TW acc locked as well, worked fine for couple months, the Paypal(UK) is working fine though. TW offers me to refund to the sender(Paypal), not sure if Paypal will link it to my account. Anybody had this experience?
