FC 26 Ban for Alleged Balance Transfer Activity - Please help

I’m honestly not sure where else to turn regarding a ban I received in FC 26 Ultimate Team. I know this probably isn't the proper channel for something like this, and I apologize for making this post. I'm just honestly at the point where I'm grasping at straws and trying anything I can to get my case properly looked into. My account was recently banned for alleged "Balance Transfer" activity. I have never bought, sold, or transferred coins through a third party website or used any kind of coin selling/transfer service. I have always played Ultimate Team normally and have never knowingly violated the rules. The email I received states that my suspension is for 28 days, however by the time the ban expires, I will miss out on the chance to earn FC27 rewards, which I look forward to play. My initial appeal was denied, and I already made a 2nd one. I don't know how or what to do in order to prove that I am innocent, and I beg someone to help me. I completely understand that EA needs to take action against people who actually engage in coin transferring, but I genuinely believe this is a mistake in my case. I would really appreciate it if someone could take a closer look at my account and the reason for the ban. I’m not asking for special treatment, I simply want my case properly reviewed. If you need any additional information, logs, screenshots, or anything else from me, I’m more than happy to provide it. I don't know where else to go, and seek help from.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. My case number #253336687

    Unfortunately we can't look into or help with bans here on the forums. If you've already raised a second dispute, I can only recommend that you wait until you get a response from our terms of service team. They're the ones who can look into things like this.

  • I mean, if they ban someone who didnt do anything except playing the game, its difficult to have "solid" evidence.

    Its just some software with triggers they dont understand themselves and dont want to expose their stupidity to their players.

    Simple.

    Others buy millions of coins, cheat, or trade themselves to 30 million coins. But as soon as you are getting flagged / hacked or something, you are gone.

    They dont care about the individual, 100€ gone or not.

    According to the CMs, EA will only keep up the punishment if they find solid evidence (that they of course won't show, refer to or specify, because reasons).

    bowee07​ Agreed, I want an apology as well. And you know what, EA? Apologies are free, you wouldn't even lose a dime, and you would look at least marginally more consumer friendly if you admitted error.

    Same here, I was accused and market banned for Balance transfer, numerous appeals, no decent outcome or response to direct questions. I received inconsistent reviews, one quoting I cheated in a completely different game I have never played.. also quoting different consoles.. I’m just assuming they go the whole accusation wrong and refuse to admit it

    I did NOTHING wrong and the fact their algorithms and/or people can’t work that out is a blight on them and something they need to find a solution to. 

    Being labelled a cheat and by extension, a liar, is it for me, I’m done with this company and game. 10 years playing this game with no issues.. 

    I deserve an apology, instead just keep getting ‘no we’re correct’ 

    garbage appeal process
