Hi, i had played D&D about a year ago and we all went online to build our character on character builder. The problem was it was on a friends account that i have lost touch with. I tried to make my own Subscription but it says 

We're sorry. The payment method selected is not available for your location. Please select another payment method.

The first thing you can do is try posting in the D&D Insider forum. You're more likely to get a useful response there than you will here in the D&D 5e General Discussion forum.

Also keep in mind that while the DDI subscriptions are stil active they are sunsetting the option, and it'll be shut down once subscriptions fall below a certain threshold. They won't be using DDI for 5e and it's only still active for 4e users as a courtesy and because they still have enough subscribers to keep the servers running. There hasn't been new content in about a year now (both Dragon and Dungeon are on hiatus) and won't be any more new content. I'd only reccomend getting a subscription if you really plan on actively using the 4e tools a lot and always export your characters to an outside file so you don't lose them when the tools go away.

 

If you're converting to 5e there's no need for a DDI subscription and currently there is no official character builder for 5e, though making a character in 5e doesn't require one (there's less math to worry about messing up and currently not enough options to make it burdensome to create the old-fashioned way other than if you're a spellcaster which can have some headaches with how the spells section is laid out).

Pencil & paper + flipping the pages in your book will never fail you.....
