EA Live chat - so unhelpful

Don’t understand how such a big company only has a badly run live chat system? Not even an email or phone number? 
I’ve been locked out of my account for 2 weeks now, now being told the account is being deactivated. They have a ‘recovery’ systems where you can verify your identity, and yet however even though I am the owner of the account, with all the information, it has failed the verification 7 times. They won’t accept my ID, every single transaction receipt, all the billing details etc. nothing. The account was made back when it was Origin in 2014, so quite a loss on my end. A lot of years spent and a lot of money spent into this company, just for their automated ‘advisors’ to show me no help. I understand there are security measures of course - but surely the system is flawed if the owner can’t even get back in. After countless live chats, with advisors who don’t read what you say and disconnect for no reason, I think I’m just going to give up with EA. I’ve always heard they were a money-grabbing crap company. But wow this really takes the cake.

    Hey there,

    I’m sorry to hear how frustrating and time-consuming this has been, especially given how long you’ve had the account and the number of recovery attempts you’ve already made.

    Unfortunately, we’re unable to access accounts, review verification details, or override account-recovery decisions through the EA Forums. For security reasons, this can only be handled by the EA Help team.

    I understand you’ve already contacted them several times, but you’ll need to continue with EA Help and provide the previous case numbers so the advisor can review the history. Please also avoid posting any account, billing, or personal information publicly here.

    I’m sorry we can’t resolve this directly through the forums.
