Credit card hack

Another thing to do is just buy the subscription codes from some place like Amazon.  After purchase, the codes just appear on your screen and you copy and paste them to the swtor website.

A few folks have stated on the support forums that they still pay every time their subscription is due but then remove their credit card from swtor's backend so the card number isn't on file.

One thing not to do is a chargeback.  BW's policy is to immediately close out your account and from forum discussions, this is irreversible.

Hope this helps

edit: You didn't say but was the purchase for something in game or elsewhere like online or at some brick and mortar location?

Make a police report and tell your bank to immediately call your bank or credit union and ask them to return your money and prohibit future debits from that person

The purchase was made on some site on the internet that sells replica swords, daggers and such. Like i mentioned they went above the allowed limit and thus the money was not taken from my bank account.

I actually had to switch to my credit card because of rules and regulations that were changed in my country; i can only allow a company to take money straight out of my account with a signature on a piece of paper. It's 2016 and that's how it goes down in my country again, feels like we are taking a step back. So yes it did happen once that the subsciprion fee was charged back by my bank but not on my request. I can understand that EA doesn't like that but to close an account when that happens is a bit too much when it happens the first time, it should just go to free to play. I did sort it out at the time by paying by credit card but that doesn't feel like an option either anymore until EA or my credit card figures out how the criminals got my information. They probably won't even look into it, but i hope they will.
