Phi for All Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 On the other hand, if properly motivated, maybe PayPal can fix the "this breach not capable of remedy" part. "Dear Deceased PayPal Client, If we can bring you back to life, would you be willing to continue making your payments in a timely manner?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
