Emailed linked to my account is not mine

I have been unable to access my EA account linked to my PSN ID for several years, preventing me from playing certain EA games and discouraging me from purchasing others. The issue stems from the fact that my EA account is linked to an email that is not mine, making it impossible to reset my password.

The FAQ and support channels have provided only two unhelpful options:

Reset my password – I cannot do this because I do not have access to the email.
Verification process – I have repeatedly failed this because I do not know the email linked to my EA account.

I have been stuck in this loop for years with no resolution. At this point, I want this issue permanently resolved. If the only way forward is to delete the EA account linked to my PSN ID, so be it but I will not create a new PSN account just to play EA games, as that would mean losing all my other games and progress.

I need EA to step in and provide a real solution. This level of account restriction and lack of support is unacceptable. Please escalate this issue immediately

    I understand and appreciate the importance of account security. However, my situation is unique and has been unresolved for years. I am permanently locked out of my EA account because it is linked to an email address that is not mine. Recovering that email account is not an option, which means your suggested solution does not work for me. 

    At this point I am asking for an alternative resolution. I have ownership of my PSN ID as stated before and I am provide evidence of my PSN account. Simply telling me to "regain access to the email" is not viable solution when I have already stated that this is impossible. 

    If the only option is to delete the EA account linked to my PSN ID (which I assume has been inactive for several years) so I can create a new one (i.e. linking this account to my PSN ID), then I am willing to proceed with that. 

    Please escalate this matter to someone who can assist me properly. I am not willing to accept "we can't help" as the final answer when there must be an alternative path forward.
