@xsupport @premium I am locked out of an old account due to 2FA. X has refused access recovery. A Premium subscription has just been charged to my Amex. I cannot cancel because I cannot access the account. I have instructed Amex to block further payments. Please advise how I can submit a termination/cancellation notice for the inaccessible account.
