There is an issue with your EA account which will prevent SWTOR purchases

There is an issue with your Electronic Arts account which will prevent SWTOR purchases until resolved. Please contact customer support (https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/star-wars/star-wars-the-old-republic/swtor-support) for further assistance.

I receive the error above when I try to sub to swtor.  I haven't played in many years.

I have changed my password on ea and swtor multiple times.

Account: Zalere

My email is the same on both sites.

I've had an EA account since 2009 when I first ordered SWTOR.  It was originally an origin account.

I have also tried chrome, firefox and edge.  All in private/incognito mode as well.  I still get the error.

I'm not playing through Steam.  I downloaded the client from swtor site.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

    swtor account / displayname ?

    edit: if this is for KeijiKurosaki  glad to hear gametime has been added to that account 

    if not done so you need to cancel the swtor subscription in your steam account , it can be repurchased when the gametime ends

    Hello. 

    I seem to be dealing with a similar issue. Last month I've tried to get a subscription to SWTOR, got a EA account issue. Managed to somehow solve it and got the subscription, but when I've tried to change it now I got another EA account issue again.

    My swtor display name is HoAdam.

    It is getting quite irritating to be honest. What can I do to solve it without expensive call to support center in another country?

    Thank you in advance.

    To fix the account You need to reset the password on the linked EA account that account uses a Rambler.ru email address

    use this link to reset the password then login on that EA account to fix the swtor account for purchasing

    for future purchases, use incognito mode on chrome initially if you purchase on swtor.com to be sure browser cache and cookies is cleared

    Thanks for your reply.
