Developer Forum Name Change

I have been waiting for months to get the name of my account on the developer forum changed.

I had initially set it up as Playbrainiacs to match my solely owned company name. However, some other people started using "Playbrainiac" without the s at the end, in their websites etc. causing confusion. They also refused to sell the url to me for a reasonable price. I applied for a Trademark with USTPO in the name Playbrainiacs but it was denied due to a company in Canada with a name called PlayBrainy. Given my small budget I decided to abandon it and forgo the needless lawyer costs.

Consequently I changed my company name to "Gigi Sehgal LLC" and removed the name Playbrainiacs everywhere. BUT Apple developer forum support has STILL not updated the name here. This is becoming a marketing and legal liability for me. Anybody have insights in how to get this fixed soon?

My App was approved however I turned encryption on and am now waiting on the classification category code for the same from the US Govt ( that has also been pending for over a month )
