Can't link account

Well, I made a ps apex account back in December 2020, and connected it to my xbox in 2022 or 2023 (whenever cross save became available) and I never kept the account info because I thought it wasn't necessary, well I had to factory reset my xbox, and now I can't use my ps, so I am stuck on a xbox without my main account and I can't unlink the old xbox account because I Don have the info, I have contacted ea support on multiple occasions making no progress on the issue, if anybody could tell me how to maybe unlink the account that would be a great help, as ea support is not too helpful.

  • Many people complain about being unable to UNLINK their account (after their accounts got unrightfully banned/ reset to lvl 1) but I never heard of not being able to LINK an account.

    Contact support and tell them to link it for you. If they can't, then ask them if there is an account already linked (you never know). And if the account is not linked to anything, you could take the actions further.

    If you are unable to access the goods you've paid for, then you can try to contact FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and file a complaint. They will guide you through and you will get best results.

    I have already commented on the other post with a similar issue; I was fighting with EA for over 3 months as my account was unrightfully banned (I wasn't even playing at the time I was banned). Unfortunately, it was a bit too late to reach out to FTC so I just moved on. But you should tackle this issue fresh ASAP.

    Hey anonymous14407​,

    If you're unable to use these steps to unlink a platform, the only other option would be to go through support. 

    They would need to be able to verify the owner of the account before making any changes, including removing linked accounts. I'm afraid that's not something we can go through on the forums, but you're welcome to reach back out to support if you need to try recovering the account again.
