&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Are you encountering the following symptoms:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="p1"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;When you try to log into your account, you get an error message that says “&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;No account associated with this email&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;”, yet if you try to create a new account with the same address, you get an error that states “&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;An account already exists with this email&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;”?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="p1"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;While this may seem contradictory at first, this behaviour is usually caused by the account being &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;disabled&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;. Don’t worry, this means that the account and everything in it still exists, but logging into it isn’t possible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="p1"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Most common causes for an account to be disabled:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Possible fraudulent activity&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Certain payment issues, especially chargeback&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Violations of certain policies&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;How do I get my account back?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;You can &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://support.spotify.com/contact-spotify-anonymous/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;contact us&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt; directly so we can check your account, confirm the cause and assist you further.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="p1"&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Note&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;: You will need to provide proof of account ownership, or purchase/payment details. Make sure to have these on hand when reaching out to us.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
