Gimme1LesPaul​ Ah... that makes a bit more sense.

I see, sounds like the game wants the "debt" to be repaid first, (which sucks!)

If I could I would ''pay off'' the balance, the issue is that 20,000 apex coins are almost 200 euros, and of course I am not paying for that.

Yeah, I don't blame you for not wanting to do that either as $200 euros is a lot!

Thanks for your answer even if you do not work for EA.

An heirloom was unlocked on my account without my consent.
This is NOT the heirloom I was grinding for over several years.
I had never redeemed my shards before the account was stolen.

Gimme1LesPaul​ Sadly, this cannot be refunded, (or exchanged), as there is no way of doing so.

I also found my account with approximately -20,000 Apex Coins, which now prevents me from purchasing the Battle Pass, prevents me from accessing recolours or progression related to the heirloom and effectively blocks normal gameplay progression.

From what I understand, when your Apex Coins goes into the negative, its usually a result of the Apex Coins being used while a refund was being processed.

Note: Any Apex Coins that you purchase, (or earn), now would be used to "pay off" the negative balance on your account, (which means that if you have -10 Apex Coins and you buy 20 Apex Coins, your balance would be at 10 Apex Coins, (which is annoying for sure)).

As for the other issues:

• You should be able to purchase the Ultimate, (or Ultimate+) version of the Battle Pass as those don't cost Apex Coins, (however, I'm not sure if you could as I've never had my Apex Coins go into the negatives before).
• For the recolors, unless you are buying the required base skin to then craft the recolor, you should be able to use your Legend Tokens to buy the recolors that you own the required base skin for, (however again, I'm not sure if you could as I've never had my Apex Coins go into the negatives before).
• As for Heirloom and normal gameplay progression, how exactly are those being blocked by having a negative Apex Coin balance?

restoration of my account state prior to the compromise

Sadly as well, (to my knowledge), any stat alterations cannot be reverted back either.

To be clear, I do not work for EA or for Respawn, (I am a volunteer).

Hello, just following up for this thread as I haven't received a response yet.
I'd really appreciate any update or escalation, as the issue is currently blocking normal gameplay progression.
Thank you for your time.
