It sounds like your real issue is a money problem, rather than an email problem. That is, Google owes you money, and you can't access it. You should probably chat with a lawyer about the legal side of things.
No. My issue is that to reset the password, Google is asking me to get something from an email which I don't know the password for. And that too when I have a recovery phone number setup on the account.
Asking to verify a code from the email for which I'm trying to reset the password is stupid and defeats the purpose of having a "recovery" phone number.
So nitwit005 has a financial relationship with Google and should be able to access a support channel? Sounds like a perfectly reasonable assumption since Google appears to be profiting off nitwit005's content somehow.
