Xbox Account Linked to Erroneous EA account: Start filing BBB complaints

Just like all of you guys, I try to get into BF6 and other games on XBOX that require EA play, and I'm unable to play.  It wants verification, when it tries to 2FA, it lists an email I have never seen in my life and a phone number that has never been associated with me.  I have tried to fix this issue since 2023, I just get the run around with them trying to verify the erroneous EA account my XBOX gamer tag is linked to.  I can't verify details of an EA account I did not create or own!  I can't 2FA to an email or phone number I do not have!

This should be simple.  I have had a legitimate EA account (this one) since 2011.  The XBOX gamertag that is linked to some other EA account is MINE.  I control it and have access and can prove it.  Why is this so hard?? Unlink my XBOX account and let me attach it to this EA account.  It is clear that there was some mass data dump or hack because there are hundreds of people in the forums with this exact issue.

I encourage everyone to submit BBB complaints.  We are trying to handle this issue with EA help but clearly they are not helping.  This has been an ongoing issue for years.  File BBB complaints so that EA can take this issue seriously and recover accounts to their rightful owners.  I already filed a complaint and they responded and told me to use EA help...FIX THIS SYSTEM PLEASE

  • It’s actually disgusting, this seems like a - I should buy the game, the file lawsuit because they won’t let me access said product I’ve bought, same boat though I have an account, they linked some wack EA email to my PSN now I can’t link my actual account, how dumb are we?

  • Don't even bother if you have this issue guys.  14 hours later I finally got them on chat.  I explained the issue and they just go through the recovery process.  Wouldn't you know my info didn't match.....BECAUSE I DON'T AND HAVE NEVER OWNED THAT EA ACCOUNT.  That's the issue!! I'm trying to unlink my xbox account from that hacker EA account and link it to this EA account.  This is the 3rd time I have tried to resolve this over 3 years.  

    Guys don't even bother.  Classic EA.  They finally come out with one game and everyone quickly realizes why they haven't touched EA garbage for years.  Horrendous customer service.  Literally prioritizing hackers over paying customers.  Pathetic.

  • I’m having the same exact issue currently. Every time I get into a chat, it gets disconnected and they email me stating they didn’t get a response and to reach out to EA Help when able to if assistance is needed still.

  • I’ve been in this chat since 1pm EST as well, with a case created at around 11am EST.

  • Seems a common issue. I can't link my Xbox account because I apparently my gamertag is already linked to another account? WTF!
