My paypal account is locked and I don’t know why! How do I fix this?

rtbakkal1957 asked the question:


Ok two days before, I made a paypal account and gave them the bank info they needed. they say to wait 3-5 days for them to make two small deposits. then two days later, my acocunt is suddenly frozen and I have no idea why. In this email I got, it quotes:

“PayPal as a regulated financial services company is required under law to assess its customers against certain lists of individuals and entities which have had sanctions imposed against them. PayPal as a financial institution is required to comply with these regulations in multiple jurisdictions where we do business.

Where a potential name match is identified, PayPal’s policy is to lock the account and request further identifying documentation. The decision to lock your account has been taken solely by PayPal in line with its compliance policy in regards to the legislation covering financial sanctions”

What does this all mean? What has happened within my account? And how do I fix it??
Is there any way to delete this account? I know you can delete if you can actually get into yur acocunt but can you delete a locked acocunt.
And also, my husband made this account, and I have a joined bank account with him. Will it work if I make another paypal acocunt with my name but same bank info and address, but a different email? Or will I get penalized?
One more thing. I supposedly have 0.00 CAD dollars in it, so if I don’t attempt anything with it, and leave it locked, will it affect anyhting like ym bank account?

Why does my mother compare me with a former best friend?

Kimbre asked the question:


I used to be friends with this girl in middle school. For some reason, my parents were enamored with this girl and always made comments on her complishments. I stopped talking to her because I grew tired of my parents praises for her and a resentment for her grew inside of me which still exists today. Even when we were in high school, I hated her because to me, she represented perfection in my parents eyes.

Now that we are older, she has recently graduated from college and got a really good job with this financial services company. I, however, am still in school and have about 2-3 more years to go (I can’t afford to go full time because I pay for my own expenses for school) and I work in p.r. which pays decent. I’ve become convinced that I’m not worth much because I could never measure up to her by my parents’ standards. Because of this, I suffer from depression and I’m insecure. Pretty much at this point in my life, I’m ready to give up and stop trying.
I hate to feel like this about myself. I’ve talked to my parents about what they are doing and they are in denial and accused me of being jealous.

Does anyone have any advice on what I can do for myself to empower me to overlook my parents’ ignorance?

Has anyone ever heard of Access Financial Services?

Lulu R asked the question:


I’ve been shopping for a personal loan and my credit isn’t great so I’ve been on the lookout for companies that are requesting advance fees for a loan, which they shouldn’t do. I ran into one and the offer seemed too good to be true, and it was, because after a little research I read other’s stories on how they were suckered into sending this company, Winford Financial, money and never received a loan. So I got a call today from a company I applied for a loan for via the internet, Access Financial Services, and so far I haven’t been able to google or yahoo search any adverse information on them. Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with them.
