No Access To Email Account Attached to Apple ID

So I have an old Apple ID that my account sharing is set from but I am not able to log in as I don't have the password. I have set it to do recover password but I do not have access to the email account connected to it. What do I do? All my Icloud stuff is on there and I have recently had to update my payment card and now the subscription has failed and I cant get in to update it. Please help??


In summary I have no access to the email account attached.

No access to the Apple ID account.

Payment card needs updating as subscription has now failed.


:-(

If you find you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery (get Apple’s own instructions in this article: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple Account password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity. One tip to using account recovery it to look for options in small blue letters beneath the normal log-in items if you cannot complete the requested information.
