To make a long story short - I gave my son a year of Claude, but I forgot about it and didn't recognize the charge on my Claude account.

I tried to find out what it was, but their tools around billing are poor.

So, I appealed the charge. They, in turn canceled my son's and MY account.

So, I just put in a new credit card figuring that would resolve the matter.

Then I got this:


That "FORM" link goes nowhere. You cannot appeal.

THIS is the ultimate in depriving people of the next level of thinking. If the AI companies can control your access, you are screwed. Now, I think the the real reason they did it it because my work probably is very unprofitable for them. I have a project in Claude 50% FULL and threads that are shockingly long.

Anyway, I will try once more under a new email, but I would assume they can figure that out too. So, I might be transitioning back to Chat. It is a shame because Claude is far and away the best AI out there and I will have to see if anyone else can do the things I've been able to do with him.

Just use OpenRouter or similar provider. All models available. Anthropic can suck it.
