My account balance is disabled

Yesterday I found I can't buy app from app store with account balance though its amount still shows right. Then, I went to apple.com trying to place an order with my account balance but it shows "you account balance is disabled. please call xxx for help".


Then, a crazy morning i just experienced, I called apple support and they just transferred me from one department to another. I literally wasted four hours with them and still no one can solve this issue for me.


I used the balance around two weeks ago trying to place an order but later the order was canceled. I suspect this is the reason why the balance is still locked. But, APPLE, I am truly disappointed about the customer service and it is obvious your support agents are not trained for such cases though it has been reported in the communities in many threads already.


My balance is still locked. What should I do now?

Re: "My account balance is disabled"


Is it your Apple ID account ... (eg: try signing in online: https://appleid.apple.com)

If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support


or just your Apple ID account Balance:

If a message says 'Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes' - Apple Support

In this case, seems only Apple Support can help.

Wondering if your financial institution (eg bank) was also involved in the cancelled transaction.

If so, you may need to check with them, to ensure Apple is allowed to receive your payments again.

Seems many businesses, and companies everywhere, are short-staffed or missing valuable employees
