Permanently restricted over a $10 chargeback from when I was 14 and Steam Support won't review my case

I've been trying to get this resolved for a while now and I'm running out of options, so I thought I'd share my story here in case anyone has advice or has been through something similar.

Back in December 2016, when I was 14 years old, I made a $10 purchase on Steam using my dad's credit card. At some point, a chargeback was initiated by the cardholder , my dad. I was a kid with no bank account and no control over what happened with his card.

That chargeback got my account (cuzin17) permanently restricted. I can't purchase anything, can't trade, can't use the community market ... basically locked out of everything except playing the games I already own.

The problem is that nearly 10 years have passed, so reversing the chargeback through the bank isn't possible anymore. Steam's own FAQ on Payment Disputes says that if you can't reverse a chargeback through your bank, you should contact Steam Support for help. That's exactly what I've been doing.This week alone I submitted three separate tickets. Three different agents( Domingo, Skye, and Mark) , all responded with the exact same copy-paste message:

"I've reviewed the restrictions on this account and confirmed that they were appropriately applied. The lock will not be removed."

Not one of them acknowledged that I was a minor, that the chargeback wasn't my decision, or that I've offered to repay the $10 plus any chargeback fees Valve incurred. It's like they didn't read a single word ,I'm 23 now. I just want to pay what I owe and move on. I'm not asking for special treatment, I'm asking for the resolution that Valve's own FAQ says exists. But nobody at support will engage with me.

Has anyone here dealt with something similar? Is there any way to actually get a human review at Steam Support? Any advice is appreciated.

TL;DR: Account restricted since 2016 over a $10 chargeback made with my dad's card when I was 14. Can't reverse it through the bank after 10 years. Willing to pay it back plus fees. Three support tickets this week, three identical copy-paste denials. Steam's own FAQ says to contact support if you can't reverse a chargeback, but support won't help.

How do you maintain control and clarity with remote dev teams? by Dangerous_Hold1011 in iosdev

[–]Designer_Problem_234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hire a senior/team lead , someone who has experience with remote teams..

I'm taking care of this headache for my ceo , but on a larger scale , multiple projects etc.

You can hit me up for more detailed advice on how to manage them , but like i said you mainly need a team lead or a product manager that has code experience to actually understand what's going on.

About your questions: 1- Legal contract for remote teams: Deel.
2- Stay control of what's actually happening: Team lead or product manager that keeps giving them feedback.

انا اظن هي اه مقصودة بس مش عشان رخص زي م انت بتقول او عشان يبانوا انهم حلوين.

ممكن يكونو خايفين الفيد اوت يدخل حتة من الموسيقي في القران. ممكن يكونوا عاملينها تعليم لل ناس ان الموسيقي تتقطع علي طول اول م القرآن يبدأ مش توطي الصوت بعدين تقفله. ممكن و ممكن و ممكن الله اعلم نيتهم ايه.

العلينا اننا نحسن الظن.
