How to reverse a PSN suspension for account debt

If your payment method has had a charge reversed on a PlayStation™Store purchase, this can result in your account being restricted from accessing PlayStation™Network (PSN).

How can an account be suspended from PSN for a debt?

A chargeback, or payment reversal, occurs when a financial institution cancels an existing payment at your request. 

As a chargeback can indicate you suspect fraud or account take-over, we will suspend your account or console to protect it while we investigate. If there is no lawful reason for the chargeback (e.g. no legal right to a refund), your account will remain suspended until the debt is repaid.

You can check your account status by visiting My Support.

Why was my account suspended for a chargeback?

If you see the error code WS-37368-7 or WS-116367-4 when attempting to sign in to PlayStation™Network, your account has been suspended because your financial institution reversed a charge on one or more of your PlayStation Network purchases.
