I think the OP comes off pretty badly. None of this sounds like Apples fault to me.

When you put in account details, make damn sure everything is exactly as it should be.

Bank Form:

Account Holder:

Account Number:

Routing Code:

I filled out the form correctly. But Apple does not use whatever you specify as "account holder". They use the company name.

This.

It's so easy to screw up Apple's registration process, it actually pisses me off to see people that have never had business dealings with Apple trying to push the blame off to you, referencing some imagined "oh my god tax evasion" scenario that doesn't exist.

People: Apple is an unmitigated pain in the ass. They will not respond to your e-mails. They will brick-wall your support calls. Unless you are a large company, they will absolutely ignore your situation unless they are faced with legal, financial, and/or PR ramifications. If you are a large company, you might get someone on the phone, but you'll still find them to be a capricious and pig headed organization.

And why would they ever be different? When you're trying to evade tax or do something else screwy, or if you're not doing things properly.

Sorry to be harsh, but that's the way I see it.
