This new billing chaos system is getting tiresome.
I had no billing info on my accounts when this billing migration fiasco started.
I finally got guided through the mess by another poster here on Stratics and got an EA.com account set up. I added my three accounts to it, one of which I rarely use unless I want it to hold a house temporarily.
I was suprised to find that the billing info was on the accounts, it had been removed using the old system. I authorized six month charges on my two main accounts, one of which happened. The other main account wasn't billed and is currently under an apparent 14 day extension.
The third account, which had had no billing info on it with the old system, now, on the new fiasco, is showing a credit card billing intent. I do believe that unauthorized credit card charges are considered a crime.
Since I imagine that EA will ban all my accounts if I contact my credit card company over an illegal charge, how do I go about stopping the crime before it actually happens?

. Well, since I have had to redo all my CC info I am now paid up for the next YEAR on some acct's. It looks like re-entering all my CC info into their lovely automated system has renewed many of my Acct's AGAIN for 6 mos when they were just billed for 6 mos a month ago! Nice play EA, one way to gain a little capitol $$ & with NO INTEREST. Now how many others have had this happened to & don't know it yet! Way I found out is I switched/entered in my other CC# to one I have for my business by mistake. I have to date received 2 calls from my CC people on fraudulent like activity on my card, the 1st call was last week, for two $1.00 Charges applied, the day when I entered all my information & linked accts. I figured it was like always, they check to make sure the CC is valid. But today's call I was on my cell phone w/crappy cell reception for some 6 mos charges being applied, (cell cut out so I did not hear it all). Figuring it might be because on Sunday I received the, "your acct payment info has not been entered" 
so this acct will be ending on 8/21. So not wanting to take any chances I went in & entered the CC info again. (Guess a mistake) Because today's call was for charges being applied. Unfortunately I was not at my Ofc to check my last CC statement to see when this acct was paid to, since most all come due within a 2 mos period. So after looking, guess what, yr's UO time paid on at least one acct & possibly more. Since not wanting to go back in & risk being charged again I will sort this out with my next CC statement. But after looking the other day after receiving the 1st call from my CC Co & seeing at least one Acct being paid til 8/2012, I kind of think I know what I am going to see on numerous acct's.
