President account is stucked and need resolution after 2 support tickets.

1 month ago, I lost access to my President's account and the club became stucked. EA helped me recover the new city on a different device using a new player ID. However, they did not transfer the President rank and now I have both  my inactive city and recovered city in the same club.

But the club also do not have Vice-Presidents and cannot remove members. I am begging the Seniors not to leave as there will be no one left to admit members and to activate wars on my behalf. 

EA was busy refreshing their servers and when they followed up with my longstanding request this week, a new different customer agent did not read the thread thoroughly and gave a reply that reflected a previous status several weeks back.  

My original request# is 648336 amd I was asked to use a new ticket number #655465 for follow-up. My questions are

1. Is there is an escalation process within customer service for my issue i.e. a more senior person i can speak with to solve my issue?

2. If you cannot help us, please introduce a hacker to hack the inactive account so that you can remove it on ethics reasons. 

My club members are totally frustrated after waiting over 8 club wars and 1 month to get the right help. Many of us have spent hundreds of dollars and hundreds of hours getting the club to this stage. 

Really need EA to fix this issue through a proper channel we are using.

    I’m sorry this happened to you. Must be so frustrating to not get enough support from them.

    What do you mean by you lost access? You suddenly couldn’t log in to the game? How did you save your data?

    Since you made a new account with a new device, your president account data must be still in the server. Have you try to log in to the president account from other device?

    You can also create a new club and tell all seniors to move to the new club until you get back your president account. But then you have to start from A1 ☹️

    EA isn’t monitoring this forum, hope their support desk will help your issue.

  • @alexchua1788 To resolve this issue they will need to remove your old city from the club. You will need to speak with the individual that will become the default President (most active VP or Sr. (If no VP is in place) and explain what happened and what steps need to take place.

    You will need to contact technical support again and carefully explain that you appreciate their efforts to recover your city and request they remove your old city that shows as President as it can no longer be accessed. Once they remove this city the presidency will default to the individual referenced above - the new President will need to promote your new city to VP and demote any other VPs to Sr. and then leave the club and you will become the new default President.The individual who left will need to reapply to join the club and you can reposition all members back to where they were. The key to success is communicate with your club before anything happens and be succinct in your communication with technical support because misunderstandings occur due to language barriers and translations. Good luck.
