Re: Account Banned?

@EA_Mako Hello I am just seeing this now, I apologize for the delay. I didnt get any notices. I figured out what happened on my end, I dont know if you can help or raise the case. I am incredibly upset that I cant SPEAK with someone and resolve this.

What happened was that I was double charged for SWTOR Game Time when I purchased 1 from the website. I put a dispute on my account to be safe when I first saw it. I reached out the following day and the SWTOR advisor was very helpful and corrected the double charge. Now this is the part where I messed up because I forgot to remove the claim on my bank account, no malicious intention what so ever to break the rules it was a mistake. I work in an environment where I dont have access to my personal things and I completely forgot. Several days later I called EA again because I saw the game time for SWTOR was completely removed, which they corrected again. Several days later I get slammed with that notice and the only option is to create a case... I had 0 idea what had happened until I put the pieces together. I attached photos that I closed the dispute in question, so I will be paying for that as well as explained exactly what happened, like I explained to you. It was complete misunderstanding and my fault to remove the dispute. BUT I removed it. Mako is there anything you can do to help me or any sort of phone number I can call or have my case expedited?

Hey @TheBrodalorian,

We are not able to address any account related issues directly on the forums, but reaching out to an advisor will let them look into this for you.

It sounds like you had called previously but other than that, just using the contact options in the previous post would be the way to go.

There isn't a more direct number or way to expedite a case I'm afraid, so you'd just need to reach out to an advisor so they can look into the issue further.

@EA_Mako Can you explain how the process works? I tried updating my cases by choosing "resume" to add more details and explanations but there is nothing that shows what I have updated the cases with? I did have a case open but it was labeled No Fix Available and the other is still "In Progress" basically about the same subject in question, but its not very clear.. The lack of communication on this from the advisors is incredibly frustrating and upsetting. I know the best move is to "reach out to an advisor" via the help link, but when I see "no fix available" with no explanation to why or what can be done is heart breaking because I had no bad intentions. It was all an accident.

@TheBrodalorian

I'm afraid I wouldn't have any other information here. Speaking with an advisor directly will be the best way to see what options you may have in this case.

No Fix Available would mean they were unable to assist and had closed that case, but you're welcome to contact them again with one of the above methods to try and get more clarification on what options you have.

@EA_Mako I appreciate your help, truly I do, but saying speaking with an advisor and then advisors not responding or simply closing a case with no response or guidance is incredibly frustrating and upsetting. I understand I have to be patient with these things, but that shows they looked and chose to not provide some kind of explanation. Also, without the ability to reach out to an advisor and speak with them to ask the same questions I have asked you is horrible customer service. I hope I can save my account.

Is there an alternative if an advisor wont help me save this account? What all is affected by an account ban?

@TheBrodalorian

There is no alternative, as the Terms of Service team has the final say when looking into any banned accounts. A banned account means you're no longer able to access anything on it.

In this case it looks like you've re-opened two separate cases, so you'll simply need to wait for a reply.

@TheBrodalorian

You'll need to speak with an advisor to discuss any details of accounts or cases you have opened.

It sounds like you're putting in emails or tickets, I would suggest a live chat option or one of the other contact methods I posted above so you can speak with someone directly if you have questions about those cases.

If your Xbox profile is linked to a banned account then you would need to address the ban first. It cannot be unlinked otherwise.

Please reach out to an advisor to discuss this further.
