Unlinking PSN to strangers EA account

The support team has been a joke, they keep using templates and not reading the situation. I have informed them that my PSN account is linked to a stranger/hackers account that i have no relation to. 

They keep asking me to verify the strangers account?!?! How can I do that if i specify this is someone else account and not mine. They keep bringing excuses that they cannot unlink my PSN, i think this goes against all privacy laws, being my PSN account linked to someone else. All i want is for my PSN to be linked to my OWN EA Account. 

Support is not escalating the cases or management is not taking this seriously, i feel disgusted the way the situation is being handled. Many of us are posting here the same issue, I do not understand why is it so hard to link a PSN to a EA account and it automatically being unlinked from the other.

  • Sorry to say Nextrone​ but if you are unable to verify account ownership then our team will not be able to assist you in making any changes to an account.

    If an account is linked then it means that someone with access to the email and password of the account linked them.

    Best thing I can suggest is to gather as much additional info related to the account as possible.

    I have already changed my PSN password, shouldn't this force unlink it to this strangers EA account? does not make sense to stay linked. it only requieres to login once during the link process on PSN to make it perma linked??!!!

    Hi Darko,

    There has been allot of complaints regarding this, I expect EA to take seriously, if there is allot of customers complaining.

    EA should come with a fix for this.

    Even if people are complaining Nextrone​ our team cannot take action on an account that you cannot verify.

    We take account security seriously and sorry to say but there may be cases where an account cannot be unlinked due to an inability to verify ownership and when this happens there is nothing we can do.
