We pay a subscription fee to Microsoft to play on their Xbox platform. There are numerous hackers/cheaters who have recently become active or more active in their blatant cheating. Their cheating deprives all other gamers the ability to play and enjoy or to get what they pay for. Multiple gamers apart from me have been complaining as well. The cheating results in shortened games, many players quit due to the cheating, the inability to kill the cheaters or the cheaters getting so many many kills that it's impossible to play the game at all. See screenshots provided. Xbox has a duty and requirement to provide a fair playing field and gaming experience and even "allegedly" gives the option to "report cheaters". Many cheaters have been reported several times. It's apparent to us and to the games they disrupt that Microsoft/Xbox has not taken any proper measures to end the cheating and restore a fair gaming platform to starwars battlefront all the while still taking our $ and allegedly providing us with ways to "report" our grievances about such issues to no avail. Numerous cheats such as MOLOTOXX91, Saeehiad, ucrown, SFG Chewie, CT6785 HEAVY, qluzs and elluminated etc have had multiple reports filed against then. Yet they play literally on a daily basis continually disrupting the games and with no apparent change to their gaming behavior. Xbox is aware of this and is failing in its legal and ethical obligations to properly address the issues for its honest, fair playing paying customers! Xbox needs to address this issue asap and remove such gamers from the game or the platform as a whole.Customer Answer

Renewed Microsoft (MS) 365 subscription in April 2023 (due to expire April ****). Yesterday 7/3, the apps (Excel, Word) stopped working. Message said I need to log into my MS account to set Office up. when I logged in, no option to set up. Logged back out and went back to apps. Then got message MS 365 needs to be activated. Subscription was already activated in April and worked the day before. Logged back into account and no option to activate. Went into apps while in account and they worked. When logged out, got same set up account and need to activate messages. Tried to reinstall. Message said already installed. After almost 2 hours, did chat with MS support rep. ****** tried various things, didn't work. Did repair (basically reinstall) on 7/4 and got same messages from 7/3.

Microsoft has a Bing app that allows users to scan receipts to earn cash back, as part of an incentive program to boost your account. Yet, for some reason, I am unable to log in to my account and check my gathered amount, nor am I able to scan new receipts.Furthermore, I tried to contact their customer service, only...there is no customer service. They direct me to a Bing page where I can leave a complaint, but their page is so filled with numerous options that they never provide an option to send an email or get in touch with an agent.Worse yet, when I try to get in touch with an agent in a different department, they won't do anything surrounding Bing and simply hang up the call.This is false advertising in the least, and the fact they don't have a dedicated team to work on Bing issues such as this -- or even allow for complaints to be taken -- have me questioning the very value of this app. Terrible.Business Response

I purchased a $200 Xbox controller 2 years ago. Within the first year there was an issue with it and their team replaced it for me under the warranty in June of 2022. A few months ago the replacement stopped working correctly. I went through the proper channels to file a new warranty claim which they said was fine because the replacement was brand new and has it's own warranty. However when trying to file the claim for the replacement, the serial number for the controller wasn't pulling anything up because it wasn't purchased but rather sent out to me. We tried to troubleshoot a few things and after a few weeks they suggested I create a new account and register it there. They told me to reach out if that didn't work - which it didn't. The email I got with that suggestion from them was from April 28th, 2023. I've since emailed them on 5/1, 5/14, 5/20 and 6/16. All have gone unanswered. It doesn't seem possible to me that they can't figure out how to find the serial number (when I've provided photos) and the history of the replacement process and send out a working device. Normally I wouldn't be too upset but $200 for something to last less than a year and then have the company go radio silent rather than fix it is unacceptable.Business Response

I had an unauthorized charge for Microsoft 365 family I did a free trial and cancelled same day because my school provided Microsoft office for free I was still charged so I disputed with my bank after 30 days the dispute came back as valid so I was charged back for the fee and asked to request refund from merchant. I worked with an agent over the phone same day as the charge was reversed and she said she cannot refund it because its been more than 30 days so she cancelled the subscription completely and said to reopen the dispute with my bank they declined it a second time and said the merchant has to do the refund. I worked with multiple chat and phone agents and had promised calls from supervisors which never happened. Right now I have paid you guys $106 for a subscription I do not have and nobody is refunding my money. I just want my money put back in my account.Business Response

I do not accept the response from Microsoft. I have many case numbers that I did provide a couple in my first email and I have others listed here. I have tried numerous times to get a refund for the 106 that was charged to me for Microsoft family 365 the Microsoft agent cancelled my subscription and I have been rejected from disputing the transaction with ******** twice because they say the vendor verified it as a legit charge. Right now I have no subscription and no refund this is stealing. Everytime I try to ask for a supervisor I am refused one which u will see in chat hostory ss well as call history notations.
