I need to resolve the mix up with my Apple ID

Hello, thank you for using Howly.

Customer Replay

A few days ago, while entering my ID for a service, I accidentally typed and extra j at the beginning of my Id. It is supposed to start with *****@gmail.com...instead it says *****@gmail. When asked to confirm my ID I can't get in and also am not able to correct it back to the original. I have been terribly busy and not able to get back till now. Please find a way to have my Apple ID corrected

Did you use a phone number for this Apple ID account?

Customer Replay

I have a phone # for text and cell phone. Do you need that now?

Have you used your phone number when you create your Apple ID account?
