When you put in account details, make damn sure everything is exactly as it should be.
Account Holder:
Account Number:
Routing Code:
I filled out the form correctly. But Apple does not use whatever you specify as "account holder". They use the company name.
It's so easy to screw up Apple's registration process, it actually pisses me off to see people that have never had business dealings with Apple trying to push the blame off to you, referencing some imagined "oh my god tax evasion" scenario that doesn't exist.
People: Apple is an unmitigated pain in the ass. They will not respond to your e-mails. They will brick-wall your support calls. Unless you are a large company, they will absolutely ignore your situation unless they are faced with legal, financial, and/or PR ramifications. If you are a large company, you might get someone on the phone, but you'll still find them to be a capricious and pig headed organization.
Sorry to be harsh, but that's the way I see it.
If the OP had done his homework a bit better this whole issue would have never existed in the first place.
He's only acting like this now because his savings have run out.
BigCo (including Apple) eventually will pay, I'm sure they will. But if you start to make waves then all bets are off, it might work to your advantage, it might not. I would not go that route until I had tried a bunch of others, such as trying to get someone a bit higher up in the pecking order to look at it and break the gridlock.
