Dear Electronic Arts, I recently wrote a review of Electronic Arts on the BBB website, regarding a locked account which I believe was done unfairly. They stated that I should get in touch with their customer service team, which I have and was met again with an accusatory and unhelpful tone on EA's live chat service. This is a long running dispute, I have contacted EA many times, with little to no help towards solving this issue. I have proven to them, on numerous occasions that suspicious activity on my account around the time in which they state a TOS violation occurred on my account. I lost a lot of coins, and then was banned. I reported this at the time, but it seems to have been forgotten. It is rather distressing, considering the amount of time and effort put into my Ultimate Team, that this has occurred. I have been an upstanding member of the FUT community, I even contribute towards their database in a role as a WWE editor. With this in mind, I believe it extremely unfair, that my evidence has been so quickly dismissed, and exchanged for a accusatory tone from Electronic Arts. Considering, the recent debacle with their in game chemistry system, and the issues of refunds surrounding that, I believe that their customer service is really letting the player base down. I am so fed up of meeting generic responses, automated replies and horrendous customer service from this company. People spend hundreds, if not thousands on your games, the least they should expect is a solid, personal customer service experience, rather than one of walls and limited responses. I understand that you must get hundreds of attempts to unlock accounts, most of which I imagine have been locked for legitimate reasons, but please take into account these facts and understand that my point is fair, and that what you've done to me by locking my account in this manner was unnecessary and unfair. *Been playing FUT since, FIFA 09; no infractions to my name. *Regular poster on EA FIFA Forum. 5000+ posts. *WWE Editor for the Barclays Premier League. Thank you for taking the time to read my complaint, I am hoping that this time, I can get a fair hearing in dealing with my issues, instead of the disappointing tone taken with me in the past. I am innocent, of these TOS violations. email: [redacted] GT: [redacted] Yours Sincerely, [redacted]

Player exploited a glitch that was in the gamePer our terms of service: "You may violate the Terms of Service if, as determined by EA in its sole discretion, you: - Abuse or exploit bugs, undocumented features, design errors or problems in the game." As the player had violated the terms of service their account was placed on a temporary banThat ban was lifted by the studio at a later time as a one time exception for all the players who exploited this glitchHowever as part of the overturn of the ban, the items used will not be granted back to the playerThe player is currently capable of playing the game while using their account but we will not be able to grant back the items the player used during the exploit Electronic Arts Worldwide Customer Experience

We have looked into the feedback provided by the player and have verified the game is working as intended We have informed the player of this and that we do not have the ability to issue a refund for a purchase made with a 3rd partyWe have informed the player to let our support know if he has any further questions we can assist with by contacting us through [redacted] Electronic Arts Worldwide Customer Experience
