Ring up paypal and try adding it via the automated service, usually does the trick when I get that error.

Re: tring to add a bank accoun for 2 hours
 

Paypal are now checking names and addresses with credit bureau data when you phone up to add a bank.

Has happened 3 times in the last two weeks.

going to wait a few hours not really want to speak to them

@stevebills, I had same issues. When I called Paypal, they checked database and never passed.

I used automated service and all worked within 30 sec.

Re: tring to add a bank accoun for 2 hours
 

Can you help me out please?

What is the way to go to use the automated service? I always get sent to an agent.

Keep at it stevebills, i've been getting the message for the past 3 weeks and finally just now it added it.

I'd still like to know how to add on the telephone using the automated system however if anyone would like to share.

I had this error just adding a bank now. I actually had this problem before, but did not follow through with it, so I wanted to ask the forum for further elaboration.

Just tried to add a bank. Said sorry, we cannot add bank account at this time, please try again later, yada yada yada. I was like wtf？ Brand new bank acct, never been used. So, in frustration, I tried putting it again, and to my surprise, it says you have already added this bank account. Checked again, and it says bank has been linked in the new paypal skin.

Tried to check if it allows you to enter the two deposits, the old paypal has the spot for you to enter it, now it doesn't.

Question: Will they actually deposit it? Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks.

Can you use this automated line in the UK, had this error message for months now after it got locked in a loop with an old phone number. I called got phone number updated now I get the error everytime and with it being stealth I don't want to spk to someone to add so this automated line would be perfect

Did you change your mind?

:heh:

Re: tring to add a bank accoun for 2 hours
 

Does this mean that if the bank name address details are different from the paypal name and address it will be rejected please ?

Re: tring to add a bank accoun for 2 hours
 

I had no choice it was over 3 weeks and still not working for me
the guy on the phone at PayPal said my bank account might be blacklisted and when he checked is was fine so he added it while is was on the phone :clap:

Re: tring to add a bank accoun for 2 hours
 

Might be blacklisted and then he added it...another situation of PP agent not knowing enough

Re: tring to add a bank accoun for 2 hours
 

I'd suggest that was another case of you not reading the entire post.

But if your reply gets you another +1 post then it's all good :noidea:

Re: tring to add a bank accoun for 2 hours
 

if they are checking a name and address and the bank account number against a credit agency list surely they will get the real name on a bank account number they submit to the credit agency.
So if your bank account in your real name for a stealth account, the names and addresses will not match ???

Also if you put a stealth name at an address for your stealth account it will flag up you have no credit history ??

Re: tring to add a bank accoun for 2 hours
 

I'm not really in a position to debate this as I dont work for paypal.

I am telling you what I personally experienced and what other have as well.

I didnt say anything about checking names on bank accounts. They ran the name and address through an Equifax database and stated they couldnt find me at that address. They then asked for a previous address. At this point the conversation ended.

Should also have said that mismatching names on bank accounts cannot be picked up on by Paypal.
