ACCOUNT LOCKED

Hello EA staff, maybe y'all can riddle me this. 1.Why is my account locked and no penalty? 2. Where is the appeal tab when there is no penalty to dispute? 3. Why is my account locked? I barely get on this game as is and when I do I'm within bounds of TOS. 4. Why can't anyof your customer service people look at that and say oh yea that looks odd let me fix that and end the lock? I dealt with two different people the first one left mid conversation and the other one was of no help either. So please explain this ignorance.

    Hi DWAYNE0119​,

    I am sorry to hear about the poor experience you had with customer support. Having one advisor leave mid-conversation and another fail to help is extremely frustrating, especially when you are already dealing with the stress of a locked account.

    Unfortunately, we can’t review the evidence behind the account action or escalate an individual appeal here on the forums.

    To help explain why you are seeing a lock with no active penalties: if an account is locked for security reasons (such as suspicious login activity or a potential compromise) rather than a formal Terms of Service violation, it will not appear in your Penalty History. This is why you don't see an option to dispute a penalty there.

    Since the Live Chat sessions did not successfully help you resolve this, we recommend submitting a case directly through our webform instead.

    For more detailed information on how account locks and suspensions are handled, you can review our official guide here:

    I sincerely hope our team can review your ticket and get this confusing account lock resolved for you as quickly as possible.
