Wrong EA account has my Xbox linked

So support told me that I didn't have enough info for them to get into the account ?!?!? What do you guys meeeeaaan how am I supposed to transfer my Xbox over to this account ?  ITS MY XBOX LIVE ACCOUNT !!!! I gave u guys all that information to show I have proof of the new EA account that I wanted my xbox transferred too . IVE WAITED OVER ALMOST A FULL WEEK IT IS LITERALLY ME . I CAN even have my dad verify it. It was an old Yahoo i had in highschool . I can't get into it because idk the password and I do not have the phone number anymore to unlock my account . I do not understand how this is not enough proof what the hell kind of proof do you guys need over there ? I've linked you guys literally everything I could it's seriously me . Only I know info that I would know about my account because it's me duh .

my twitch prime loot I claimed is on my new account . I just need my Xbox transferred to my new account . ITS LIT ME  like what the hell . It's my first time ever doing twitch prime loot and so far it seems like the hassle isn't worth it . It's be great if you guys could just unlink my Xbox account from that random email account that I don't have access to. Idk why that's so hard to do . 

I get that there is safety reasons n bs but like come on or literally my gamertag . I play Apex and gtav and starwarsbattlefront 2 on it all the time . I even have game clips of all the stuff I'm playing if needed . 

Can you pleasssssee transfer my Xbox account to this new one .

I do not have any access to that EA account because idk it existed n I don't remember linking my Xbox to that account ever . I had to change my phone number because I was being heavily stalked so I do not own  that phone  anymore . So I cannot get into that Yahoo email .

I've tried emailing Yahoo support but they won't help me . I just want my forgotten wraith void skin I paid twitch for  . Twitch and Amazon both said it's your guys end . So you guys have to unlink my console from that old account and transfer it to my main account that I use for swtor n everything else. I'm confused as to what other info I need to proof that account was mine ? I don't even remember signing up with that email .
This is my very first time linking accounts trying to get twitch prime . My Xbox tag is Darth Kitana . My most recent purchase on that Xbox account was late night I bought 2000 Apex coins and bout the legendary hunt recolor skin for wraith from the bloodhound event .

It really sucks because of this virus I can't just talk to you guys via phone about the issue, I'm sad I just want my loot inwas excited for . I wish my Xbox wasn't linked with some random account idk existed. I am so literally frustrated from this all. It's been almost a full week of endless emailing all the diff support staff. I just want a simple Xbox account transfer . Liek what the heck other proof do I need I had filled out the form to the T idk how it wasn't enough . This is ridiculous . This makes me never want to try twitch prime ever again . 

  • Hi there, @DarthQueenKit.

    When you unlink an Xbox gamertag and link it to a new EA Account, you lose all progress on all EA games. That means all your Apex Legends characters would be reset. Along with any Ultimate Teams, Battlefield soldiers, Battlefront characters, etc. Due to how damaging it is to your account, we need to verify you own the account. If you're not providing enough accurate information to our account recovery team, they won't be able to verify ownership and give you access. The best I can recommend is that you try filling out that form again and make sure you add new information that could be more accurate than what you previously provided.

  • I understand. I'll see if Sony can do anything on their end. Technically, as far as EA is concerned, the account that is linked to my PSN is not my account. I'll chat with an EA rep again and see if I can report this as fraudulent and see if there are any other options. From other forums, there are many people in this boat and it's preventing any of us from playing EA games now or in the future. I hope going the fraud route either through Sony or EA will get these accounts unlinked, and I'll pass around whatever solutions I can find. We just want to buy and play EA games!

    @Relentless6055 

    I definitely get the frustration. I know I'd be feeling the same way. Unfortunately, attempted account theft is extremely common so we have to have stringent security policies. One other thing, when your account is unlinked, you lose all progress on all EA games. Your Apex Legends progress will reset as well as you'd lose any Ultimate Teams, Battlefield unlocks, Battlefront characters and unlocks, etc. Just something to keep in mind.

  • Hi,

    i raised a case (Case ID  ) for this to get the unknown EA account unlinked from my daughter's xbox account but everytime i go check the status the ticket says it will be closed if i don't resume it

    when i click on resume it wants to open a fresh new ticket?

    i just want to unlink the unknown EA account from the XBOX account thats it

    we have nothing on this account, we do not use it, i want to link her EA account to her XBOX account for gamepass ultimate / EA play membership

    i even tried the forget my password fonction on ea.com for all known email addresses i ever had (except for mine and my daughters) and all of them come up with the same message that no EA account exists for these emails

    i checked my EA account and its linked to my XBOX which is normal, and my daughters EA account is not linked to anything

    also tried to uninstall SIMS4 on xbox one and then reinstall but it never prompts to enter an EA account

    what i think is that this game creates a dummy EA account and links it when you have none linked to your xbox account but i cannot confirm this as there is no option in the game to see the EA account loaded on xbox

    can you please help me?

    i am getting nowhere with this...

    Donald

    Edit: Removed link to case. -CM

    Hi there, @omegadony5243 

    I can see your case is still awaiting a response from an advisor. They'll need to go verify account ownership before any changes can be made. Someone should be emailing you, but you're also welcome to open another case to get in touch with a chat advisor instead of wait for an email.

    As far as I know, they should also be able to take care of you through live chat, but it's possible that has changed. In that case, it would be best to wait for a response.

  • @EA_Aljo just to let you know everything was fixed by EA, had to go on chat but all is good, i'm happy! 🙂

    thanks,
