I'm honestly at my limit with Google Ads support and wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.

I originally spent around $150 on Google Ads without any issues. Then one day I started getting a "Don't Have Permission to Pay" error.

Trying to fix it myself, I created a new Google Payments Profile and (unfortunately) deleted the old one, thinking it would solve the problem. I continued running ads for a very short time with the new profile.

However, Google kept sending me emails saying I had an unpaid balance.

The strange part was that when I logged into Google Ads, my Billing > Summary showed no outstanding balance at all.

I contacted Google Ads Support, and they initially told me that I had no debt and that the emails were probably sent by mistake because the balance had already been paid.

Then, a few months later, I received a collection notice from a UK debt collection company saying that I owed about $45.

When I contacted Google Ads Support again, they suddenly changed their answer and told me that I actually do have an unpaid balance, but it's attached to the old payment profile that I deleted, and because I no longer have access to that profile, I can't pay it.

I've been emailing Google Ads Support for months now. Every response is basically:

• "The case is under review."
• "Please wait."
• "We've escalated it to another team."

But nothing ever happens. It honestly feels like I'm talking to an AI or receiving copy-pasted template responses rather than getting real support.

The most frustrating part is that Google won't let me access the payment profile to pay the debt, yet at the same time they have sent it to collections.

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

• Were you able to recover a deleted payment profile?
• How did you finally pay the outstanding balance?
• Is there any way to reach a real specialist at Google who can actually resolve this?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I usually write with either an F or an M nib, but recently I tried a 1.1 stub and loved it. Now I want to explore other fun nib options, but I can’t decide which one I’d like the most and I don’t have the chance to try them before buying.

I’m currently considering the Journaler (Esterbrook), Dentist, Italic Double Broad, and Oblique Double Broad (Galen Leather), but I’m open to other recommendations as well. Does anyone have experience with these nibs? What would you recommend?

By the way, my handwriting is relatively small, I write in cursive, and I don’t mind feedback.
