      My Microsoft account was recently hacked. I was able to catch on pretty quickly, even still the hackers were able to take over the account and change all the information. I contacted support as quickly as possible and tried to recover my account. They did an internal investigation and even explained to me that they know that there was fraudulent activity on my account and could prove that IT was actually me who owned the account they locked it and would not return it to me. I have been on the phone for hours trying to connect with a live representative. It even rejected my number from trying to call and just had the same automated voice repeat the same thing to me and hung up when it finished. When I called from a different number I was finally able to get somebody on the phone, they just passed me along because no one could help me with my problem and they ended up hanging up on me. The account is still locked at the moment and I am still waiting for a response from their team. I want this issue to be resolved by removing first unlocking the account and then removing the email that it was changed to and to have full control over my account again.

      I have a couple of issues which I have not been able to resolve regarding Microsoft outlook. I need tech-support, because for some reason that I am not able to figure out, I am not able to enter an email address in the two line, therefore I am not able to send email from my MacBook Air. I tried to find tech-support online, went through the entire process of online troubleshooting, and still, there is no way to seek assistance from Microsoft that I can find. Also, I have an issue with my storage limit, which I think is lower than the plan Im on. I also have tried to resolve other issues with Microsoft, including that email address is on my safe list keep getting diverted to the junk mail, folder, and vice versa. There is a large amount of spam coming into my focused inbox.

      Hello, I've been contacted by a customer service representative who is monitoring and will try to assist.  Many of the issues seem to be known problems on the Microsoft email platform that Microsoft has not resolved.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 07/28/2023

      BBB notes the complaint has been closed with the notation - "Answered - the business addressed the issues within the complaint, but the consumer remains dissatisfied.  Microsoft did have a tech support person contact me and they are trying to help.  The fact that Microsoft makes it exceedingly difficult to get support is problematic and the main reason I filed the BBB complaint, to get a contact who might be able to help.  I wasted about 7 hours on two or three chat sessions prior where rep after rep (sometimes 6+ reps on one chat session) provided incorrect information and no assistance at all.  The tech who the BBB complaint caused to contact me is lovely and it trying to help, but these are known issues that Microsoft Outlook has not solved, for over a year.  Issues include excessive junk mail in the focused inbox and email safe and junk lists that don't work as intended.  Also issues deleting data when I spend hours deleting just to see the hundreds of emails haven't been deleted several days later.  The fact that some of these issues have been known to Microsoft for over a year makes it surprising that they haven't yet been able to "fix" them.

      Microsoft NEVER reached out to me at all and are not taking this complaint seriously.  If the BBB doesnt help resolve the issue im going to go to a higher governing power to get them to force this issue.  Microsoft is scamming ppl with bad products and the BBB is allowing this to happen.

      I am rejecting this response because:  microsoft has made false reports about me not communicating to close this issue.  I was in process to get as much information as i could and even asked to send a picture I.D. and some other identifying material.  This fraud that microsoft is presenting will be taken as a criminal offense if the microsoft team makes reports that i was not i contact because i was in contact and microsoft is just not wanting to deal with a disgruntled customer like me after they took my money knowing that the product sold was junk and not playable.  So expect this issue to stay open until i get the resolution i deserve and want

      The dates at issue are from April 2019 - present, July 2023.My account has been charged $9.99 each month. My financial institution cannot stop the payments, it must be from the company.For that amount Microsoft was supposed to provide software. However, it has not. Possibly because of my older version of Windows (7).I have tried, on and off over the years to get this resolved. I have not been able to speak with anyone who can resolve this. I want the money to stop being withdrawn from my account and to be reimbursed for the time that it has - from the year stated above until the current date of 7/11/23, $519.48 . As I've said, I've tried to resolve this, however, life issues, death of a parent, Covid 19, caring for a child, etc. have sometimes made this a much lower priority. I am once again needing to have this resolved.Information that appears on my bank statement monthly is -EDI payment Microsoft **** TRN* Z520XW77ZMVG/

      Starting in November of 2022 and reoccurring monthly for 9 months Microsoft assisted me in "cancelling" my subscription first online then over the phone however it still continues even now. Their customer service says they cannot refund any of this because it goes past their 14 day refund policy but since it was a free trial game that was first downloaded then deleted now that version of the free trial is not able to be downloaded anymore and it will not accept my request to cancel this subscription. I do not have the extra $14.13 every month to pay for something I cannot and do not want to use. please get someone over there to help listen to consumers.

      H  ****,

      Thank you for?contacting Microsoft Corporation via the Better Business Bureau regarding the trail game and refund request of the game Fallout.

      We understand you, and we decided to make an one-time exception and refunded you the last 3 months and removed your payment instrument Mastercard x **** to avoid any future charge, in case you wish to purchase any other service you can add it but once the purchase is made you will not be refunded since you already exceeded the allowed refund per year.

      You will see reflected the refund in the next 3-5 business days and depending on your financial institution it may take up to 30 days.

      My wife, ********************************* took out an XBox Live subscription on our joint credit card for my son in 2014 through her Microsoft account. My wife passed away on Feb 1st 2017. My family hasn't used this service in years yet Microsoft continues to bill my Chase card $39.99 every qtr for the subscription. I have tried numerous times to stop payment through Chase and call Microsoft to cancel. Microsoft will not allow me access to a live person through all their **** Support channels, just keeps telling me to login to my account if I want to cancel. I cannot do this as it was my wife's account and I don't have the password. I tried recovering the account through her email address but I keep getting blocked. Basically Microsoft is making it impossible for me to cancel this subscription and has been charging me $160 / yr for multiple years. I need somebody to please help me resolve this.

      Complaint: 20302837

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I attempted to follow the procedures via contacted Microsoft Support several times as suggested by this business before coming to this forum. I spent 2.5 hrs on the line and was transferred 5 times to 5 different departments (as stated in this initial response) All of whom stated they werent the department to handle my issue. The 5th online chat person stated I would need to speak to someone from Tier2. They said Someone from Tier 2 would call, and no one did. After 2days I replied to the same email again.  Finally on Monday, July 10, 2023, a call occurred. I explained to the woman I was at work and my personal computer was located at my home. The Tier 2 Tech sent me an email and told me to reply back with a day and time was convenient for me. I did giving July 14, 2023 at 12p (noon) CST. I cancelled appointments and waited so I would be available. No one called me that entire day!!! I finally replied to the email AGAIN! The sentence stated NO ONE RETURNED MY CALL!!! That is when I decided to use THIS forum and filed a complaint  Looking back through my emails I saw where AFTER I replied to the email again (Im  assuming in an attempt to cover yet another error) a series of emails mails were sent 1 on July 14th around 9pm and a series on July 15th (the day AFTER my request) state they called and could not reach me (no one EVER called because my phone was with me and I remained home) and would have to contact the support link again. When I attempted to contact the support link I got some message that my Windows needed updating (both computers had been recently updated (WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM THEY UPDATED MY COMPUTER WITH THE WRONG PROFILETHAT USED AN IOS FOR WINDOWS ON A WINDOWS **** COMPUTER AND IT HAS DAMAGED MY LOCAL COMPUTER AND LOST EVERYTHING ON MY DESKTOP) So NOW we are just going in circleshence the complaint on this forum. 

      Now my computer is not functioning properly. Things disappear after I have found them and I still have not been able to locate ALL my files  My backup drive was connected to my to my computer at the time this activity occurred so that is ALSO messed up. AND THEN someone went in and began tampering with the other computer that is located on their server. When I signed up for this service, it was explained to me that I would be downloading the programs to office. I NEVER WOULD HAVE AGREED to allow Microsoft access to my registries on my LOCAL computer and become an Administrator for my LOCAL computer. When they locked me out, I could not access ANYTHING until I made a payment. THEN THEY DOWNLOADED A PROFILE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DELETED IN 2019  THAT MEANS THEY MAINTAINED ACCESS TO MY PERSONAL INFORMATION ALL THAT TIME! I NEVER WOULD HAVE AGREED TO THAT. 

      So NO BBB I REJECT THEIR RESPONSE. MY COMPLAINT REMAINS!

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Again, I just received a message stating the matter will be closed today 08-10-23  I was originally informed someone would be CALLING me  These calls were NEVER followed up on after the initial call made during my work hours  I just happened to check my email and happened to see the one sent today  The impression I am having is documentation is being mailed to give the impression that follow up attempts are being made but NO ONE is actually PERFORMING the follow up  My number is **************  I can be reached on Fridays between 10am and 8p Central Standard Time  I HAVE seen that someone accessed the OTHER computer that I have on my Microsoft 365 account because they changed the settings on my printer  This is very frustrating and the computer they messed up is no longer usable  Items keep disappearing  The **************** Support has not been of great assistance  Things didnt begin that way but it has become progressively WORSE! PLUS they have access to information that I never knew they had access to AND did not delete information they were supposed to delete  Im hearing that this frustration from Microsoft is common

      I am rejecting this response because:

      They had someone email me who told me they really could not help me with my issue  I am going to report them to my states and the Federal consumer protection office  I have been reading online where others have also had complaints about the handling of their information when using Microsoft 365  They have damaged my computer AND have access to my personal information  This all is concerning to me

      Yes, I actually have documentation in the form of email and screenshots now to demonstrate how the companies call center representatives are indicating that they are addressing the issues BUT are NOT addressing the issues with their customers. I am currently at work but will have time to send the information to both BBB and if it can be forwarded to Microsoft. Your above statement from Microsoft is incorrect. Its not an issue of the attempting to address the issue and I wasnt satisfied. The companies customer service individuals are sending generating notifications saying they are taking actions that they either arent following thru with altogether or having customers schedule follow up calls and times that they are not following thru with. I am currently at work. I will be able to submit an email to you of both screenshots and emails sent to them regarding this matter on either Sep 1st or Sep 2nd if this system will allow me to do so. I will also be reporting Microsoft to my ****** Consumer and Attorney Generals offices because I still have a computer that no longer works properly because someone from there unlocked a computer profile (that should have been deleted in 2019) that had an IOS operating system to computer with a windows operating system. This caused their computers to Download a Windows for Mac to be downloaded to my **** computer and has caused that computer to no longer function properly.
