Bad customer service experience

All I’m trying to do is unlink my Xbox account from an old account I have zero access to and I have to wait 440 minutes to “chat with an agent I wait and and then to receive an email that my chat has ended because I never responded wtf this needs to be fixed if I can’t use my ea account with my Xbox what’s the purpose of even buying games from this company

  • Good luck dude, they refuse to unlink accounts.  They prioritize hacker accounts over customer accounts.  File a Better Business Bureau complaint.

    I've been fighting this same thing for a few days now as well.  The 400+ minute wait times are ridiculous and that seems to be the only way to get in contact with anyone.  I had a 311 minute wait time yesterday afternoon that apparently ended up taking just over 1 hour, but I was away when they joined the chat since it was a 5 hour wait.  I started another one after that that gave me a 454 minute wait and I saw that one connected at 3:45am while I was still asleep.  I tried submitting another ticker where I didn't select the chat agent option and I'm curious to see how that goes.  It says up to as 10 day waiting period, but that is better than trying to catch a chat bot with unrealistic wait times who closes your ticket as "resolved" if you miss their 4 minute window.  Super frustrating.

  • File a Better Business Bureau complaint like stated above. I sent one in this morning as I have trying for over 3 years to get a hacked account back with EA just closing out tickets with no explanation or communication. If we all send them in something will get done

    Kind of now I have a whole other issue they didn’t take my number off the account 

  • Im in the same situation but on Playstation. Sony Refunded my BF6 purchase and actually apologized to me for EA's incompetence. EA doesnt care, aslong as they turn a profit they dont care who got screwed.
