You do realise Lloyds is the worst bank to use with stealth! It is pasted all over the forum stealth & Lloyds do not go well together for mismatched names!

RBS step account is a good choice. Try them?

The bank address does not need to match the pp address in general - stealth works

When setting up a basic bank account do i need to use my real address also?

sorry if this seems like a silly question, i have been searching for ways to withdraw from a stealth paypal for days and this is the only thread with a clear answer?

also how long does it take to set up a basic bank account?

any advice help/tips are much appreciated i am very desperate as i need the money urgently (to pay fees on my original paypal account that got suspended), and being a student i have no other source of income.

Thanks in advance

I am based in the UK

You have to use all your real details for the bank account. It is a criminal offence not to.

The direct debit mandate is information paypal send to your bank. The bank does not respond back with a confirmation.

Your ID is obtained from the card or from documents requested.

Just type in any bank name and see if they offer an online application, as your a student then most banks have an open door policy with really good accounts that you can open.

Avoid Lloyds but most other banks work fine.

Once you have one account you can more often than not open more with the same bank,over a period of time.
and it can take anything from a few minutes to a week to get your account numbers, especially quick if you try the bank your with now for a second account.

This is what happened. I called up. PP themselves, the person on the other end, did not know what was going. He said that it was " a strange problem". LOL! I burst out laughing at this point. He said that he will try to add it manually on his end and "verify" it. But it remained as "unconfirmed".

I gave up on that PP account. A waste of a basic account. This is why I test with a saver first, 'cos current accounts (and that includes basic accounts) are hard to get!
