Hello guys, Today I wanted to login on my account, so I typ my pass and usename, and ENTER!. Then a nice message shows: "This steam account has been disabled" When it got through me, panic broke out. I immediately went to the steam site, to see if I was vac-banned, because my account was hacked once. But nothing. I check my mail for a steam-email...nothing. There was however an other e-mail from clickandbuy(first year using it), that there were problems with a payment, and that it wasn't payed.(I bought g-mod with it) The payment should have automatically been taken off my bankaccount a couple of days ago. So I went to check out, how much money I have on my bank.(not much, wasted everything on vacation) And then..... I almost wanted to throw my pc out of the window... The day before the payment was planned, my mobile phone bill was charged..... Which I had completely forgotten. So now comes the fun stuff...(not really), The bill from clickandbuy was 4,99 Euros, after the bill from my mobile phone was paid, there was 4,98 left on my bank.........................................1 CENT wasn't paid.... So Valve blocked my account, if I'm not mistaken. With their great Zero-Tolerance policy: There is a Zero-Tolerance policy for any violations of the Steam Subscriber Agreement and Online Code of Conduct. All accounts in a user's possession for any of the following activities will be permanently disabled: Payment Fraud 1) Any fraudulent credit card use, credit card chargebacks, or Paypal chargebacks (regardless of when the transaction occurred). I don't know if they will unblock my account, if I'm going to pay that 1 (+15 euros fine, what clickandbuy gave me. Isn't that nice?) cent. *update* = something is wrong with the site, so I can't pay....isn't that even nicer?! So wait till tomorrow. We will see, Red
can donate you 1 euro if you want ^^ Hope it works out well. Got a reminder form t-mobile last week about 3 cents too little paid for some reason. whole letter + stamp is way more expensive then those 3 cents lol.
Now we have a problem to... We where scheduled to play a Dodgeball game sunday in the tournament... We have to get a substitude before that if you can't, and let the other team know... Damn... hars to get treated like this over 1 louzy cent.... Life is a bitch, and then you marry one...
had it once to ... after i got my paycheck i paid the stuff and 2 or 3 days later my account was active again .
nice for you that you have your account back i hope that it doesn't happen again to you because than you have to slap or slay valve
dudes i stick iwth prepaid base in belgium, its easy and u dont spend too much, like with 15 or 20 € u can go and call for a week or 2, cause u also have promotions and all that. maybe u should consider that.
Protocol, thats isnt the point... Its with the zero-tolerance policy of Valve; pay even 1 cent short youre suspended until payed... And besides its up to the player/user to manage his bankaffairs. But still this policy is kinda silly actually. Long live them big compagny's. As long as there is money in this world there will be people always going for the big bucks, they dont care what happens to the people buying or obtaining their services/products... In all honesty I actually/absolutely hate money... There is always somewhere and someone that is being corrupted by the power of money. Uhm, sorry; rant finished... Peace
