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.
