Address for stealth account problem
 

Got a "clean" (unregistered at eBay or PayPal) bank account & debit card. Problem is they are in my proper name & address.
I can get around IP tracking by using a Vodaphone mobile dongle that changes IP address with each log in, but my name & address is the problem. Can I insert say "Level 1" or "Floor 1" into my normal address for eBay & PayPal & even change my name to a nickname, to avoid getting linked to my suspended accounts.
Eventually (some time away) the account will become limited due to withdrawal amounts so I need to be able to verify my details to PayPal.
I Have read the Stealth handbook, but it doesn't make clear that the above will work - anyone got any ideas?

You can use a wrong name and address for bank account and debit card. Should still work - only with credit cards, there is a postal code/zip code authorization match check.

If you do get limited, you will need to make up creative documentation then.

As long as the bank isnt Lloyds TSB you be ok to use any random name for the direct debit deposits etc, its not done on name only for most banks just the sort code and account number.

Different Names on a Bank Account and a Paypal Accout works Well MOST Times, if it Fails You Normally find out when you try to Transfer Funds to your Bank account,,,Search the Forum Here to find out if the Particular Bank that you intend to use will work,,or Post the name of the Bank and see if another forum memeber can Confirm that it will Work,, I Personally Have Little Knowledge of the Banks that will work in the UK,,,But others here do Know,,,,

Thanks all for your replies
 

Have worked out that my account with NatWest will work OK with PayPal/eBay without problem but will eBay link say:
Mick Bloggs, Floor 1, 25 Any Street, Any Town TT45 6EQ (stealth) with
M Bloggs, 25 Any Street, Any Town, TT45 6EQ (real & suspended)

change the address choose a random one locally that is still in your phone number area code.Names dont matter as theres alway more than one matt smith etc.

NatWest is one of the banks recommended. Just make sure that the account you open will accept the direct debit mandate. Look for their current accounts.

On paper that amended address looks OK. But ( & there is always a but), should the account get a manual revision, then it is often discovered as being linked to a suspended account. Too close to home, own nest, that sort of stuff.

It is preferable to have a new address not associated in any way with your old account. :pop2:
