Cannot play FIFA 16 on Origin after purchase. Origin client asks for activation

[ Edited ]
★★★ Newbie

I recently bought FIFA 16 on 01.01.2016

 

I was able to download and install the game via Origin client and was able to play on the first day.

 

I tried playing FIFA 16 again the following day (02.01.2016) and I get a prompt stating that the game needs to be activated.

 

When I check My Games, FIFA 16 is not listed. It is as if I never purchased the game.

 

An email from EA/Origin about my purchase order states that the payment failed. However, my credit card has been debited for the total amount €35.99

Order History in my Origin account also states that payment failed.

 

My order number is 1001858915869

 

I'm running a Windows 10 PC and I have not had any problems with any games so far except for this.

 

I would really appreciate some help on this.
