Overcharged, but not getting help?

I have been trying to be respectful and understanding, but EA has stolen $162.20 from me and has essentially refused to help me. I made a post not too long ago about being triple charged. I use EAHelp and get told, "Upon confirming with our team, it appears that we also received the same issue with other players who are having multiple charges." and "Let me inform you that this is a known issue and our team is working on it to resolve it." I had that conversation on May 23rd.

I asked if I could dispute the overcharges with my bank and if it could get my account banned? I was told, "Since this is not your fault and this is on us, our team is already aware and rest assured that your EA account will not get banned." I disputed the overcharges with my bank because I have been put into the negatives because of them. I have to literally fight with my bank just to contact EA about the overcharges, and then on May 30th I get this.

 So, I hop over to EAHelp once more.

"I will help you with this, I want to inform you that the active issue where multiple purchases were made is now resolved and out team is actively working to help those that were impacted."

"From our end we are unable to see those duplicate charges on our account, this is directly being handled by the EA developers team and it will be fixed for you as well in coming days."

"Do not worry this issue has been addressed and it will be fixed for all the impacted players very soon."

"The issue was resolved on 27th may by the team now they are fixing it for the impacted players so you will be contacted soon via email or EA app notification."

"If you have requested the charge back then the bank will take care of the charges now it will not be handled by EA"

Hi, impacted player here. Still haven't received back any money. Why has it taken almost two weeks to either give me back my **bleep** money, or at least pay me back for what you overcharged me for?? [Edit - EA_Barry]

    Honestly, that’s what pisses me off the most. It’s the fact that they’ve done this to others and it feels like it’s just being swept under the rug. With as many problems they currently have, why add this too? I wish more people would get angry.

    Also, thank you for sharing your experience. It helps me in keeping a file of how they are treating other consumers.

    I was permanently banned one day after purchasing a game (incredibly soon after the refund period ended, coincidence? I don't think so) banned for some totally unknown reason that they refuse to talk about. I've tried contacting them with my old account and creating a new one, but nothing. There are no solutions to problems, just a bot sending you messages to shut you up so they can continue to neglect you.

    Relax man, you're not the only one being ripped off by this lousy company. Not only do they not provide support services, they send automated messages thinking that customers are dumb enough to fall for it. It's about time this bunch of rats fell flat on their faces once and for all, or they'll continue to rip off more consumers. 🤑

    I have provided screen shots, bank statements and have had several conversations with those at EAHelp, and yet I have been dismissed, ignored and told I should just wait. $162.20 is a lot of money, and I have already waited what is now 2 weeks. I had submitted an appeal, and it was denied, meaning they ignored it, or they did look over it but don't care. I have submitted a second appeal. I will admit that my first appeal was emotional because my money is being stolen and now, they've done this. To the say the least, I am very upset. And the only solutions I'm being given is to go to very place that has been ignoring my problem from the get-go.

    Hopefully, once your ban appeal is successful, you will be able to get the additional charges refunded.

    We cannot assist with bans directly here on EA Forums. If you feel you have been incorrectly banned, you can dispute any action against your EA account by following the steps in the following link:

    Thanks.
