| recovery | jeremyB | 8/5/12 4:45 PM | Its only been a few months since I closed my account. I dont see why it cant be reactiviated. Looking to talk to someone from Google to review and revive my account. Like I said, its only been a few months so Im sure they can reactivate my old acc |
| Re: recovery | The C Man (Elder Advisor - Mobile Laureate) | 8/5/12 5:17 PM | Suggest to Google a new option to be named the "jeremyB paradox". Delete means "keep it for me until I change my mind!" |
| Re: recovery | bkc56 | 8/5/12 5:19 PM | Have you tried to recover it? What response did you receive from Google? |
| Re: recovery | jeremyB | 8/6/12 5:59 AM | well thats helpful. Dont worry why I want it back - I just do. Idiot. |
| Re: recovery | jeremyB | 8/6/12 5:59 AM | bkc56 - I tried. Didnt work. I cant find any contact info. for google. |
| Re: recovery | The C Man (Elder Advisor - Mobile Laureate) | 8/6/12 7:01 AM | You try the account recovery form by using the "I cannot access my account" from the sign in page to see if Google can return the account. Not sure who you called Idiot there are two in this thread who can access our accounts and one who chose to de |
| Re: recovery | bkc56 | 8/6/12 10:15 AM | I tried. Didnt work. That really doesn't tell me anything. What did you try? What didn't work? What response did you get form Google. The quality of help you get is directly proportional to the quality of information you provide. |
| Re: recovery | jeremyB | 8/6/12 10:53 AM | I went to the account recovery site. I entered my email and it said: This account was deleted and is no longer recoverable |
| Re: recovery | bkc56 | 8/6/12 11:09 AM | Unfortunately, that's it. It means what it says and there is nothing further you can do to recover that account. And since account names are never re-used you can not create it again. The account, and all data it had is permanently lost. Sorry. |
| Re: recovery | jeremyB | 8/6/12 4:03 PM | Thanks for looking. I was hoping Google could do it but I guess not. I guess that will teach me to use google products. Glad I switched over to Hotmail. |
| Re: recovery | bkc56 | 8/6/12 5:53 PM | Yea. It really sucks when you tell a company to do something (delete my account) and they actually DO it. |
| Re: recovery | jeremyB | 8/6/12 6:17 PM | Hey, I'm just saying that microsoft is much easier to use and isn't impossible to contact. I gave google a chance and it doesnt come close to the versatility of microsoft. maybe in a few years google will catch up. |
| Re: recovery | The C Man (Elder Advisor - Mobile Laureate) | 8/6/12 7:11 PM | jeremy, You want Google to provide some form of contact point so they can tell you what you have found out here. They would not return your account either. Hotmail is a service you pay for when you buy a Microsoft Operating System while Gmail is fr |
| Re: recovery | jeremyB | 8/6/12 8:22 PM | You're right - I agree with you. Hotmail is worth paying for as its the better service. And you're right - gmail is free and obviously so. Maybe gmail should charge so they can upgrade their system. Oh well, live and learn. |
| Re: recovery | bkc56 | 8/6/12 10:22 PM | "Better" is subject to personal opinion. |
| Re: recovery | LanceRoberts | 8/6/12 10:25 PM | bkc56 I created a thread like you asked last week and I'm still having trouble getting my account re-enabled. Please can you let me know who I should contact regarding unlawful disabling of my account? The thread is, http://productforums.google.com/d |
| Re: recovery | bkc56 | 8/6/12 10:43 PM | I see you're getting help from another TC, so you're in good hands. Nothing more I can do. |
| Re: recovery | LanceRoberts | 8/6/12 10:46 PM | I just thought I'd ask you because I haven't heard from the other guy since last week... Thanks anyway. |
| Re: recovery | bkc56 | 8/6/12 11:21 PM | (went and checked) Ahh, yes, I see. You won't hear anything more because he's done all he can do. At this point all you can do is keep trying the "contact us" link (remember that no reply means appeal denied, not that you are being ignored). Ther |
| Re: recovery | LanceRoberts | 8/6/12 11:54 PM | I just cant believe how a huge company like Google can throw their users away like this without even saying why! I guess that's what happens when you have more money than common sense/decency!! They just don't give a damn! I did NOTHING wrong! Hopefu |
| Re: recovery | bkc56 | 8/7/12 12:57 AM | I did NOTHING wrong! I don't know what to tell you. You had a Google employee check your situation and send it off to the appropriate team for review. That means it was not a simple mistake or a false-positive. And every "contact us" appeal that i |
| Re: recovery | LanceRoberts | 8/7/12 1:09 AM | Am I the only one that thinks this is wrong?!?!? They disable your account without telling you why, they "Deny" your request to re-enable it without telling you why, not even a short one-liner explaining why... That's just not right! This TC that hel |
| Re: recovery | The C Man (Elder Advisor - Mobile Laureate) | 8/7/12 5:19 AM | Lance, You are not the only one who thinks it wrong. Those who have had it done to them and not been able to regain their account think it wrong but Google have their reasons and do not choose to reveal. Wise users backup their accounts so they can |
| Re: recovery | LanceRoberts | 8/7/12 5:43 AM | It's not just the files, it's also all the online registrations that point to ones Gmail account. I'm.

| Re: recovery | The C Man (Elder Advisor - Mobile Laureate) | 8/7/12 5:58 AM | Lance, Why is it so many who have major problems have worked in IT for so many years? |
