Old account issue

Question

I have an old WoW account (stopped playing after Legion but bought early pre-release of BFA but never played it-RL interrupted) but when I signed it up I used a fake email and name and such but paid with my real name/info (trying to avoid RealID friends).

I contacted Blizz and they sent me a reactivation thing but I needed to submit my legal ID like a drivers license (since I had auth enabled). Problem is there is no real id for my fake name/email. I sent a message saying could they use the purchase name (since I paid for this account) and they never got back to me. Any suggestions on how to regain access to this account?

Don't use fake info for stuff like this.

People can't search by real name, and just use an actual e-mail that nobody knows.

It's hard for Blizzard to verify who you are if they don't have real info and they don't get your details from the payment provider.

They only receive an payment ID and payment state.

I think a new account would be cheaper and easier.

I have a new account (just playing Classic so far on it) but I would lose out on my many 110's (like 12+ of them with maxed profs) and their achievements.

There is no option but to continue working it out with Blizzard.
