I am having trouble finishing my steps for the payment center. I am 17 years old so I was using my dad’s information to login but forgot to use his birthday and used mine so when I submit his SSN with my birthday it got locked. There is no way for me to edit the information and it is asking for a legal document. I put in a lot of work into my store already and don’t want to start over because all my work will be lost. What should I do to resolve this?
