Well, I deleted, added, and now they want to phone me to confirm I own the bank account. Problem is that the phone number is still the one I bought with stealth account, and my mobile and home number is used on other paypal accounts. So I guess I have no option but to go out and buy another mobile phone just to get this sorted? | What stops you from getting another SIM card? A new phone would be excessive... simply not needed.

They will phone you and then once you hang up, you will have passed the "test" and got your bank acount added.
Edit: this won't work once you have changed the phone number... they will ask you your security questions instead.
I hope that you remember the answers... or this could turn into a bit of a mess; I was in this same situation 2 days ago... tried adding a new bank to an account as the original bank was closed a while back, and they wanted to phone me. The phone number was phake so I tried updating it to a real one... but once I did that they asked me security questions instead. I did not remember the answers (it was an account from before I became a "professional") and had to phone PayPal up and after looking at my account, they told me that I would not get the security questions again. But I did... so I phoned them again and suggestd that they get one of their higher-up staff to add the account manually. They agreed and once it was done, that was it.
