Ea account ( that i have no association with whatsoever )linked to my steam.
I purchased a copy of NFS Heat back in sep of 2022 but didn't actually play it till oct of 2023. I download the game and everything, and launched the game. A pop-up appeared that stated i was banned from playing in online servers. No idea why that was the case I decided to create an EA account and then proceeded to link it to my steam account. When i did an error message popped up saying my steam account was already linked to another ea account ( so*****@rambler.ru ). I have explained everything to EA support over 5 times now but they won't help because of 2 things.

1. They apparently cannot find my steam account
2. I can't provide "Proof of Ownership" for a hacked Ea account that I have no connections with what so ever.

Any suggestion what i should do?

Did it also not work to log into that linked EA-account using Login-with-Steam?

His complain on jan 2024 states he bought the games on September 2023 or july 2023

Yet now it is stated that the game is bought in 2022

It is extremely contradicting

------

Then even more contradicting is this

1) he wanted to play with his friends on jan 2024

Yet his latest story go state he tried to play with his friends on October 2023

His ''need for speed heat'' is played in 14th jan 2024 for 5.2 hours

The achievements earned in ''nfs heat'' exactly match total playtime

It is extremely impossible for OP's EA account to be banned on 8th jan 2024

When it is used to play ''nfs heat'' on 14th jan 2024

You will need to deal with EA as you can only link it to one steam account and see if they can unlink the other account.

However be aware banned accounts cannot be unlinked to prevent abuse by making new ones to be able to cheat in the games again and again.

Make sure your steam account is not compromised as you should only be able to link accounts like EA when you use your steam linking feature.

Is there a possibility that the ban on the EA account is preventing the Support agent from finding my Steam account in their system?

Mmm. Expected it would at least help identify the account for EA-support; maybe allow you to change email/password. If not then that entire Login-with-Steam route is going to be of limited usefulness.

1) yugah is assuming your steam account is compromised

----------

But in my opinion

2) your email accounts are completely compromised and insecure

Also, every single gaming accounts you have are compromised too

Kindly take note that you need to provide the name that is used for ''steam account creation''
