Linking/Unlinking Account

So the support team of EA is pretty bad one of them said i should come here and voice my problem.

So due to Battle field 6 i Created a Xbox account as i knew that battle flied 2024 and other are on there with the game pass so my thinking was that battlefield 6 would be on Gamepass aswell(relooking at the trailers and things i dont think Battlefield 6 will be on the Gamepass atleast not straight away, anyway i wanted to then go and link my EA account to my xbox account when trying to link my account i got a pop up saying my xbox account has already been linked to another EA account and i cant link my account so i was like thats weird i contact the support which then secured the account for me which i find very weird they literally just jacked someone account changed the email to my email and then sent a password reset to my email so now that unknown EA account with my xbox linked to it is my EA account with my Xbox linked to it so i do what anyone would try and do and unlink my xbox account as the EA account not mine and i dont wish to keep it i try to unlink i get the verification code on email to unlink but when i unlink nothing happens and the link stays after the page is refreshed.

so i contact support again going through 3 support people finally one of the support people sees there is a Ban on the account so thats making me not able to unlink the account they send me to the page where you appeal for a ban but that page shows there is no ban so they just give me a link where you can type you want to appeal for a ban i try to appeal for a ban but the option where you select to send a email or get contacted over a email is not there like the support says, so now i cant submit a Appeal  the normal support cant help me they just keep saying this is the TOS support part but they cant put me through to them

    May I only add (and please do correct me if I'm wrong): as the EA account is confirmed banned then a new EA account is to be created. The user may still use their Xbox account they have now—and link it thereafter to the new EA account.

    The OP's EA account can't be unlinked in EA account settings because it's banned. It's permanently linked to the Xbox account and is preventing other EA accounts being linked.

    If the EA account wasn't banned then yes, it could be unlinked and a different EA account could be linked to the Xbox account. Provided the EA account has never been linked to a different Xbox account in the past.

    It's confusing and I'm pretty sure EA created all these restrictions to prevent game sharing.

    You're absolutely right. Thanks for the correction.

    I Cant accept the fact that someone can hijack your Xbox account link it to their EA account then you cant unlink the Xbox account so stupid.
    I just check aswell Xbox gamepass doesnt have Apex Legends on the App so the ban thats on this account would not even cause a problem with the account being unlinked.

    From the EA data that i downloaded looks like the account has not played any other games besides Apex
