Isssue taking a check or adding bank account to limited PP after 180 days
 

One of my original limited accounts has come due. I tried doing a check, it was giving me an 'invalid address' error when requesting a check. Tried adding a bank account and it said 'we cannot add your bank account at this time, please try later'. Anyone had an account like this stuck in limbo? Do I gotta call them to get it sorted or wait it out?

I also have several accounts in this limbo stage. Obviously it's being done on purpose for people like us.

I'm currently waiting it out because I don't need to access the money, but I know that in the long-run I will need to take action on these.

Sounds like a call is in order - waiting it out is unlikely to get fast action

Fixed the issue, heres what I did.

Called in-> completed the automated process to add a bank account -> account appeared in the account instantly to confirm -> Confirmed with bank login instantly -> withdrew the $.

Now we'll see if there is an issue with the withdraw, but its already at the end of 180 days so there shouldn't be a reason it doesn't go through.

I have had this trouble as recently I had some funds eligible for withdrawal on several paypal accounts. What I did was add a prepaid card with my shipping address(one I have access to) as the billing address, enter whatever address you want the check to be mailed to as the billing address for the card. Go to wallet and add it, it may give you an error saying they can not process it at this time, some sort of error.

Just keep entering it and resubmitting it, keep clicking the button over and over again until it says complete and confirms the card added. IT WORKS, just have to be patient and reclick.

IMPORTANT! When you make the billing address in the Address line section, you can enter PAY TO THE ORDER OF and then your name, or ATT and your name.

That way even though the check that is mailed to you will have the stealth name on the check it will have your name on it as well. I have cashed MANY checks this way at the ATM with no problems. Trick is just to have your name in the billing address some where.

Once you have added your prepaid card to your wallet, go ahead and request a withdrawal by check. It should allow you to choose the shipping address which would be the billing address you just added with the new prepaid card.

and there you go. In a few days or weeks you will get a check in the mail to the address you chose with your name on the check, sign it and deposit it into your bank account by way of ATM.

Hope that helps!
