Unfair business practice complaint

I enjoyed playing College Football 25 (especially ultimate team) for a week and a half before suddenly being kicked from the servers. Upon further investigation I came upon an email stating I was permanently banned for violating Terms of Service. There was no specific explanation as to what terms where violated as I have not hacked, bought coins, or performed any unfair gaming practices in ranked competitive playlists. After repealing the ban there has been no communication from EA other than to delete a duplicate claim. Hoping to receive a resolution to this I opened a claim with the better business Bureau.  Shockingly enough they responded with the typical:

MESSAGE FROM BUSINESS:

Thank you for raising your concerns with us. 

We've reviewed the account and the action taken was due to a violation of our Terms of Service. We regret that we cannot assist through this channel nor can we overturn the violation.

If the player wishes to dispute the action taken, they will need to contact the EA Terms of Service team directly.

For more information on how to contact their team, please visit our article on EA Help: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/account/information-about-banned-or-suspended-accounts
 
Thank you,

This company does not care about the people who purchase their product, and I would consider this a scam practice to take our money and ban us from their game.  I wouldn't be surprised if a community manager copies and pastes the same response they gave to the Better Business Bureau.  I would like to enjoy the game again, but if they choose to not to allow it my opinion of this company will be completely ruined as they wont allow me to play what I paid for.  

Respectfully,

Unsatisfied paying customer

    Hey @xXAchilles09Xx 

     

    Thanks for reaching out to the community, however, we are unable to assist with Bans/Kicks here on the Answers HQ forums.

     

    • You will want to fill out this online forum to reach out to our TOS team for further assistance.  

    If you have already reached out to our TOS team keep an eye on your EA account email for any communications. Please note, that not all bans will appear in your account's Ban History.

     

    If you are looking for more information on bans with your EA account check out our help articles below:

    Cheers!

     

     

     

  • ^ The above has proven my point. I don't hold the community managers responsible for the actions of their company overlords who scam their paying customers. We know you cannot assist, but without there being an actual way to contact a person from the TOS team that performed this action this post is merely a complaint against this company and a warning of their unfair practices.

    Cheers as you say

  • Never bought coins, never hacked a game (not sure how to even do that on a console), did not perform any unfair actions in competitive playlists. Obviously you did not read my original quote, this was merely a warning to others, that this company will take your money and not allow you to use their product. Have fun being an internet troll.

    Hey Everyone

    It seems this thread is starting to get a bit off-topic. Please remember this is a community forum where anyone can come to share their feedback, ask for assistance, or report potential issues. 

    With that in mind, we do have Forum Rules and Guidelines that need to be followed. In addition, Community managers will provide the most relevant information based on a post or thread topic. 

    As we have provided information in regards to Account Bans, and in order to help keep the boards more organized we will be locking this thread. 

    Thanks!
