The story
The pain
We're Mailchimp users who can't access our own accounts—locked out by 2FA, account restrictions, or lost phone numbers—and every support channel we try is dead. Emails to account recovery and compliance go unanswered, the contact form does nothing, and phone support hangs up before we reach a person. We're stuck paying for subscriptions we can't cancel and managing clients we can't help, with no way to get a human to even acknowledge us.

I'm locked out of my account because the verification code is being sent to a phone number I no longer have access to. I emailed [ accountrecovery@mailchimp.com ](mailto: accountrecovery@mailchimp.com ), but it's no longer monitored, and the contact form hasn't helped.
I created a mailchimp account 5 days ago. I added 5 contacts and sent out 3 test emails. My email content was generic website tips and tricks to people who signed up to my newsletter. Out of the blue 3 days ago I got a message that my account is restricted for violating terms of service. I have reached out multiple times inquiring about what terms of service I violated and Mailchimp has not responded.
Suddenly and with no reason no issues the compliance team closed the account for last Friday and no one answered my emails till today. I tried to reach the compliance team many times with no response , support told me there is nothing that can be done from my end and also the sales confirmed the same. Your "compliance team" not answering any emails !!!!!!!!!!!!
Called the sales line for help they said fill in the account access help form and they would get back in a couple hours but they never did. Our 2FA is with a hospitalised coworker and we manage 10+ clients who we now cannot access and help.
What is going on with Mailchimp support????? There has to be a better way to connect, I need phone support and have been unable to actually speak with a person. The call just hangs up after the Mailchimp general announcement!
