EA Support re:bundles - my experience so far

Perhaps someone here on the forum knows how these things work, but this seems off to me.

I contacted EA support via email this morning. I stated that I am unable to purchase both Mayan Homer and Mexican Duffman because of the way they are bundled, because I have most of the other items which have been bundled with them.

I recieved a response from a rep who told me that I had to resubmit the request through the game and provide a case number which he supplied. This way, he said, it would be connected to my game. I also had to provide my Mayhem ID. I did all this, assuming from experience that it would allow them to enter and view the items I had and rectify the discrepancy.

Well, now I'm being asked to list all of the versions of both Duffman and Homer that I have. I don't have that memorized and I can't access the task menu for Homer because he's currently on an 8 hour task.

Seems weird that I'm having to provide what they should be able to access themselves with the information I've provided.

Am I being jerked around?

    Congratulations!!! So the solution they did for you involved deleting what you had already so you could then buy the bundles? It seems like that would typically be easier for them and it makes you spend more donuts whereas I've experienced them being hesitant to add items at the risk that they'd actually be giving me something for "free".

    Yeah, deleting items was the only way they'd do it. I suppose it makes sense, I'm just glad this headache is over.
