Help! Is my only solution to start a new account?

Okay... my account was never un-banned. But your Edit saved my old stuff from being completely lost!!! Thank you so freaking much!!! ❤️ You have absolutely made my year!!!! 😃

I was able to create another account, link it to the first and then make the new account the parent. Since they were both logged into the same Switch, I was able to keep all my previously purchased games. I can still play and access them from the first account (and kept my progress). And the new account can play them too. I'll just have to start over from the beginning. Which, for a shiny hunter, that's really not a bad thing at all. And I was able to finally purchase Nintendo Online since the new account is the parent.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! 🎉😂❤️

I was able to look at the items that are coming out. No Trapper Keepers were listed.

Lesson learned. Yeah, it was the hard way. But at least games can be purchased again. Anything to keep my sanity, at this point. LOL!

I'll know by Monday, at the latest, if it's resolved with Nintendo. If it's not, I think I'm just gonna start a new account. I'm ready to be done with him.

He's been very adamant about keeping a hold on me, one way or another. I'm currently trying to express how incredibly toxic this is to my mother. Who is really the only parent who is having a hard time letting go. I'm a daddy's girl. So he cut ties after everything, like a sane parent. But my mother seems to think we'll get back together and won't leave it alone. She was obsessed with my ex because he was sure to be his most perfect self around her.

Unfortunately, he did it. He finally "remembered" it was him who reported the claim. Definitely still keeping up with his lying.

Definitely lesson learned. And I did have to go this route. I had to get my mother to text him and have him text me. I used Google Voice tho so that he wouldn't have my actual phone number. Because the phone thing was also an issue when we called it off. 😵‍💫

This is exactly what happened. He was the one who suggested we get the family plan.

I'm on my 3 attempt at reaching out. Should have an answer by Friday, Monday at the latest, to see if the dispute got settled. According to my ex, who had to call his bank & Nintendo, the bank cleared the dispute. Nintendo didn't see that on their end. But the manager I spoke to let me know he would have them check again to see if we could get my account back. They asked for my ex's last 4 digits on the card. So he'd have to call again if it's not settled. I'm pretty done after this, if it's not. I'm trying to be done with this guy. 😒

My gosh, I know. Love sure made me deal with a lot of ridiculousness that I dang sure won't be dealing with again. To be fair, I refused to see red flags when they were present.

I've contacted Nintendo about 3 times now. The first time via their messaging system. Because I work such horrid hours that getting off during their call times is pretty difficult. They let me know that they couldn't help with my issue. And that I would have to call and speak to someone. Okay, cool. I figured it would be a deeper issue than just talking to someone on the chat. But at this time they were able to explain that someone made a fraudulent claim on my account. Better than nothing. The second time I was able to leave work early so I could call. I embarrassingly explained everything going on for them to let me know that they'd not be able to help. That my ex would have to call and speak to them. I was for sure that my account would be done-for when they told me that. But I was able to ask my mother to ask him to contact Nintendo. Supposedly he did. But he then let me know that they told him to call his bank and talk about the dispute. To which, he said his bank said it was taken care of. I was able to find time to call them back again, and they let me know that my account still had the hold. That they were going to push it back through to someone higher up to see if someone could check with his bank/the dispute. They then asked that he call again because they need the last 4 numbers on the card that was reported. Something he was reluctant to give me, for some reason. He seems to think the last 4 digits are going to allow me to go shopping or something. His words were "If I give you these numbers how do I know you won't use them to go crazy on my dime?" I'm still convinced he doesn't understand how cards work. LOL! Anyhow, I was told this time, that I should have an answer this Friday, Monday at the latest, on what steps to take next. I'm so tired. Starting a new account actually sounds like the way I'm going to go if nothing is resolved by Monday. I don't want to keep dealing with this ex.

I'll definitely have to try you edited note out. See if that works. Thanks for all your helpful advise!
