Apple Developer account denied - Support not going anywhere

Hello all,

I could use some advice here. We have attempted to register an Apple Developer account, it's been rejected every time with the response that our company (name + DUNS) already has an account. We are a startup (about 4 years old) and no existing employee (founders down) know who would have registered for this account.

Apple Support will not provide any details on the account due to privacy concerns and even after being escalated to a senior support rep, the only response I'm able to get from Apple is that I need to know the Team ID and contact persons details in order to do anything with the account.

We are completely stuck and may just have to abaondonly building products for the Apple eco-ssytem because of this. IS there any other contact that we can reach out to provide any legal evidence of the companies ownership so we can register our account?
