My Microsoft account has expired. I have tried several times to get this service renewed, but the website made it impossible to login to my account. I created a NEW account using one of my work emails, and made my purchase. The site was so slow moving, that when I finally made the purchase, I received 2-3 different confirmation emails with different confirmation numbers. I have spent the past 90 minutes attempting to speak with someone about getting a refund for the extra accounts, but getting a person on the phone is apparently impossible and the automated system does not understand what I'm seeking help with.Business Response

I have forgotten my password. I am trying to reset it but due to not having the phone I had years ago it says I have to wait 30 days. I can not stay signed out of my xbox or other things for 30 days. I need to talk to someone who can help me with my issue. I try to call and I either get hung up on or speak to people who have no idea what is going onCustomer Answer

I had a Microsoft Surface Go which was not working properly. I decided to pay the $400+ for an after warranty replacement. The Surface Go 2 I was sent as a replacement (after I mailed in my failed device) was not as I expected (my fault, I didn't properly read the specs).I decided to return the Go 2, and was refunded the appropriate amount.I have now asked the Microsoft return my original broken device, and have been told that the "no returns" policy had been explained to me, and that they are keeping my original Go.I made the following points to customer service, and they still refuse to return my original, broken Go."I'm not sure I understand the principle for the policy. I bought and paid for an item from Microsoft; I returned that item and was refunded for it. OUTSIDE of that transaction, Microsoft gained possession of my old device...they are by far the winner in this scenario. As the customer who has sent in a malfunctioning device which was not examined or repaired... In the current situation, Microsoft can refurbish my device and profit from an item they do not own."And "... this is the first time I have ever sent something in for a repair to a company, and they kept it. It's very strange."(File #**********)I hope you can help.******,*************************,Business Response

Thank you very much for the follow up.In regard to the response from Microsoft, there is no stipulation as to how long it will be before I am contacted, nor what the actual solution will be. I am a little skeptical that this is a delay tactic and they will end up doubling down on their position.

The Xbox One X retimer chip is a now widely known and common manufacturing defect issue that occurs a short period later with these systems. I am seeking partial compensation for this product that should have been recalled from the market I am now stuck with considerting a costly repair. I am only seeking a small fraction in compensation considering the total amount of mopney I am out with microsoft over the last 20 years in totality across several pieces of hardware/software - run into the four figures. I am only brininging all of this to attention just now - minus a previoud $10 dispute over a cheap digital game issue. The $150 is what I expect to icur for seeking out a third party repair service.Business Response

The Xbox subscription is normally $14.99 for gamepads, plus tax and that comes to $16.19 (8%). That's what I've been paying for months. The past 2 months I've been charged $18.35. The chat rep tried to say it was a shipping tax of $1.36 which makes no sense because there's nothing being shipped.Business Response

For almost a year Microsoft Xbox live has been charging my account and at times making it overdraft. I made a onetime payment for something for nephew over a year ago. I do not own a Xbox. I attempted to settle this issue but is unable to do so because I do have an account with ********************** and can never speak with a live rep. I cokdnt dispute it online because as I stated I dont have an account . I attempted to dispute all charges with my bank but was told that I would have to get another debit card which is an inconvenience for me because I have a lot of bills set up on auto pay. I want my money back and the over draft fees I have been paying each month due to this matter. This has been an ongoing issue all of last year and this year. I am being charged $10.79 a month and each month my bank has charged me an overdraft fee of $28. That is 22 months of these charges. If you want 22 months if bank statements I can provide that if needed. However I sent a recent pic from my online account.Business Response

I have have opened an account with ******************** over two decades ago and it has been one of the major means of communication for both my business and personal life. With the creation of two-step authentication, Microsoft has encouraged the use of the Authenticator App to the point where Microsoft recommends it every time Iogged in until I finally utilized the tool. Recently, I factory reset my cell phone and, as a result, the Authenticator App was removed and disassociated with my account. While attempting to log into the Microsoft account, it requires the Authenticator App to be used; however, the Authenticator App is unavailable due to the phone reset. Microsoft does not provide direct support leaving users who have become reliant upon the service they cannot support access to. Telephone calls result in hang ***** no ability to seek assistance.This is a lifeline that is cut from users because they push a product they dont support.Business Response

Dear ****** *******,
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Corporation. We have thoroughly reviewed your case number **********.
After a detailed investigation, we found that during your communication with our agent on May 14th, it was noted that your account was not logged into our service at the time of purchase. This resulted in the absence of cashback for the transaction. Additionally, an investigation was done to the information submitted on December 2023 and no data was found, thus leading to the decision taken. However, as a gesture of goodwill, our agent has awarded you 2000 points.
Based on our policies and the current evidence, we must uphold our decision.

I had a Microsoft account a few years back. Did not realize they were going to charge a recurring charge every year. When I was charged last year, I called and disputed charges with the bank ($12 charged in Sept 2022 and then $106.74 charged in Sept 2022). I was reimbursed for those charges and received a new debit card to avoid those charges in the future. I then received the same two charges this past week, one year later, after I canceled. First, I would like to know how they got my new bank card info. I Received a phone number for Microsoft from the bank. Called Microsoft and it is all automated. They DO NOT allow you to speak to a real person. Instead they direct you to their website, where I have spent the last hour trying to navigate. I signed in to the account and do not see where I am being charged but when they offer a button to cancel your subscription, it brings you to another screen where there is no option. At this point I would just like a phone call from a real person who can help me get this resolved.Business Response

So Microsoft contacted me and asked for a copy of my bank statement showing I was charged. I sent that and attached is their response. I am hoping this does not get delayed.Customer Answer
Date: 10/12/2023
After days of waiting, I received an email from Microsoft detailing how I can go into my account and see where I have been charged. This email also stated if I do not reply within 24 hours my case would be canceled..
I cannot access my account because I do not even know the login information. It has been well over a year since I have used it.
This email also stated if I still needed help, I could send them a copy of my bank statement- which I did originally. How can they not be able to lock my account if they have this info? I feel like I am getting the run around. I just want this resolved. They should be able to locate the account tied to my bank account and cancel my subscription.

Honestly this is RIDICULOUS. I sent ****** a response to his email from yesterday with answers to all of his questions. Today I receive an email from him stating my email was blank! It WAS NOT BLANK. He just didnt scroll down to where his questions were. I answered everything I could. This has been going on now for two weeks! How difficult is it to locate the account? It sure was easy for them to take my money, but it takes two weeks for them to find my account to cancel?? I have requested a PHONE CALL to actually speak to a real live person.
