Urgent - Login failed with Forbidden A1 error

Dear community,   My login to public mobile website My account failed with a 'Forbidden A1' error.   I used public mobile app to login and it gave an error 'Something went wrong, please try again'.   I have also tried to clear cookies and login using incognito mode and none worked.   The same iphone and PC were used to log in to another public mobile account i have, and it worked fine, so the issue is specific to my account.   I have been in contact with CS_Agent for four weeks and it has not been fixed.

Because I cannot login ,  now My account is disabled due to the credit card expired.   Do anyone know how to fix the login ?  Without this login, i seemed that I permanently lost my phone number.    Does anyone know how to  update the creditcard expiry with public mobile and still keep the original phone number  ?

Thanks to everyone replied to my original message.   I managed to purchase a voucher, and contactted cs_agent to topup my account so that the phone number is back live again.    I still have the login issue,  I have already researched all the messages on this community and retried the following:  

1. uninstall and reinstalled public mobile app,  login got this screen:  IMG_6265.png

2. use safari browser private mode to login to myaccount.publicmobile.ca, and got this error: IMG_6266.png

3.  switched to different iphones, and different browsers, cleared cached and browser histories, and retried above steps, all got the same error.    Login to a different public mobile account , through the same iphone and/or browser,  login were successful.     This indicates the public mobile server or eversafe ID server was keeping some status on my account to prohibit it from login

5. PM'ed cs_agent directly for the last six weeks, and every time a new cs agent takes over, the whole conversation starts again asking me to try the above steps,  and no one was able to provide a concreate fix.  

6. There are some messages on this community about same issues and the thread always ended up with PM cs-agent.   I wish they were resolved by cs-agent.  But mine issue was not and still not.  This is why I turned to this community for advice.   Without login, I cannot manage my account.   The only way out is to purcahse a new SIM, activate a new account with a new email, then port the existing number to the new SIM.    Please kindly advice if this is what people have found as solution.

Thanks

Hey @jamesll this is normal. Just go into your browser settings, clear the "cache" and restart your browser and try again.
