Xbox Game Pass won't link with EA Play

After trying multiple ways to link them I finally got an error saying it was already linked to a @disabled.ea.com account. I assume that is Origin. I have had an account with EA just about since Origin launched. Why tf did this not migrate the link when switching to EA Play? 

I then determine I need support to help fix this mess. Go to EA Help and find no options to contact support. Just the most unhelpful knowledge base I have ever seen. I selected random games and clicked through options trying to find a "contact support" option. For the love of God let me use the accounts I spent money on.

How do I remove the linked Origin account if it won't show as linked in the account settings? Better yet, how do I get a support case in? I'm an IT professional in my work life. I have exhausted options and went through all available tools to try and fix it.

    I am seeing from other users online they had to make an entire second account to be able to link them again. So help me God if I have to do that I will be preaching the bad word about EA on my **bleep** deathbed. Oh wait! It doesn't even show as an active link for me to remove until I go through the link process! Nevermind, forgot you guys REALLY hate your customers.
