I was falsely banned on xbox live by the microsoft enforcement team, I have never received a suspension or strike on my account in which I have countless hours of play time and money spent, in addition to the fact that I have not been on my xbox in over a month. I contacted microsoft support who then told me to file a case with xbox enforcement support who then denied my appeal and I didnt hear from at all. I am filing this complaint in order to contact and solve this mistake with the xbox enforcement team. Thank you for your time and understanding.Business Response

In March of this year, 2023 we started getting charged by Microsoft on our credit card. I ignored the first charge, but it continued each month. I have tried many times to contact Microsoft about the charge on our credit card, but you have to "log-in" to your account to settle any billing issues. Well, I don't have an account, no log-in, no password and therefore no way to speak to anyone. I cannot cancel a subscription if I have not requested one. I cannot cancel a subscription if I cannot contact the ******. The billing began January 17, 2023 at $16.22 the amount and has continued. On August 18, the billing increased to $18.38 and we are continuing to be billed each month. Microsoft has poor customer service. I have spent hours trying to resolve this issue, and I have yet to speak to anyone other than automated whatever the heck they are. The personnel email listed on the Credit card statement to identify the invoice is an old email address my son used for six months, over four months ago. It was an address through a college and he no longer has access to it since he hasn't been a student there for over four years. I don't know what other steps to take with ******** since I am unable to speak to a person, unable to log-on, and this is only going to continue to cost us money.Business Response

The Windows 11 update 22H2 broke 3 of my computers that already ran on windows 11. I have spoken to microsoft support for 2 weeks not and the issues have not been resolved. I had to take one PC to geeksquad because PIN login failed to work after upgrade. They charged me $195. Another PC had corrupt windows files and was stuck at the update. The computer is not working properly and performance is maxed out while on using .1 mb/s disk space. I was forced to buy a new computer. On top of all this my Microsoft account seems to be getting attempted hacking sign-in requests that are being blocked. Microsoft has no answer for this except for using 2 step verification, which does not contact me on each unsuccessful login request. Here are my issues and requested resolutions: Microsoft Case #'s below as well.1. Desktop 1: PIN login stopped working after windows update to 22H2. Microsoft could not resolve even after windows re-install. Took to Best Buy Geeksquad and they said there is glitch in new update. Recommend to use Windows 10 which does not require PIN. Paid Best buy Geeksquad $195. 2. Desktop 2: Update is stuck and computer hardly works. It keeps crashing and my outlooks not working. Microsoft support says I ***** corrupt windows files. Forced to buy new **** PC for $1414.3. Laptop 3: After update built in camera stopped working. Microsoft support stlll working on it 4. Someone keep trying to hack into my Microsoft 365 account. ******************** said to setup 2 step verification which I did. Nothing else they can do.

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor and I purchased a Microsoft 365 business account in order to have HIPAA compliant email. My account was set up as **************************** Recently I got a new iPhone and I didn't realize that I had cloud back-up turned off in my authenticator app. I wasn't able to use Outlook on my new phone and eventually I got locked out on my computer too. Every time I try to log in to my Microsoft ******************************************************************************************************** to use it. There are no other options given and all of their contact support options require you to sign in to your account. I somehow found a few different ways to contact them but they all tell me another area needs to help me and then I never hear back. I finally decided I would just cancel my subscription but I can't do that without logging into my account, which I don't have access to. When it is up for renewal in December I guess I will have to dispute the charge with my bank. In the meantime I am going to have to purchase another service because I need to have HIPAA compliant email. It seems like someone should be able to turn off two factor authentication so that I can get back into my account. I can provide other methods of verification. By the way, I also have a personal account that I CAN access using the same Microsoft Authenticator app. I am going to wait a few more days before purchasing another option in the hopes that someone will contact me.Business Response

I am a member of Microsoft Bing Rewards. In early August I attempted to redeem my points for a $5.00 gift card. I was told to enter my landline phone number to receive a code to verify my request. This had always worked fine for me in the past. This time it would only send me text messages and as I only use a landline phone I cannot receive the code. It specifically states that landline phone numbers are accepted but I cannot get my phone number listed on my account. I have tried contacting them numerous times to find out what the problem is and to fix it but they don't know what to do. I have been transferred to the wrong departments and have been told there is no phone number or way to reach a technician who can fix this. I have tried chat, filing a complaint ticket, talking to them by phone with no resolution. My last ticket number was **********. I have never had problems with Microsoft before this and would like my problem solved. Thank you.Business Response

On the evening of October 15, 2023, Microsoft turned on security defaults on my business account. The ******************** Authenticator app does not work, and I cannot log in to my business account. ******************** phone support does not answer, even after spending hours on hold waiting for them. I was able to get support to call me by logging in to another business account I am an admin on; however, the first rep I spoke with was unable to help me. The second rep also could not help and just hung up on me. I am not the first business this has happened to over the last several years, and Microsoft is still unable to help. My business is losing money daily, and Microsoft does not care to help. It is their product that does not work. I will gladly take my business to ****** but I need access to the Microsoft account I paid for to back up my data and migrate to ******.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: Microsoft failed to follow through with me. Two days (not one) after posting this I did recieve an email from Microsoft promising help and asking for more information. I promptly responded and never heard back from Microsoft except for them charging my CC for an account I cannot use becuase they locked it. I continue to be locked out of my account, charged for an account I cannot access, and my business continues to suffer because of the lost data. I am amending the resoulution I want to include the monies paid for an account that ******************** made inaccesible and for which Microsoft refuses to help me with.

I am rejecting this response because: Microsoft continues to charge my credit while refusing to help. Yes, they charged me for the account they locked my business out of and have refused to help me with. The latest email came from a relationship manager that wanted to know what was wrong. REALLY? I have explained to MS at least five times in detail. This rep also promised an update by November 6, menaing at least three more days without the service they charged my credit card for. When I responded to the reps request for details, I recived an auto resonse saying ******* was out until November 7. So much for an update by the 6th. Microsoft's lack of support, disregard for a paying business, lies, and theft of monies for a service they made sure I cannot use is beyond reprensible.

Dear Sirs, Last year I purchased a Microsoft 365 subscription.This October 12, 2023 I see a charge for $76.20 description Microsoft*Microsoft 365P *********** WA on my TD credit card, there was no renewal notice by any means. I have tried to cancel this account as I only used their product once last year.I have tried customer service online, I got a new password as I could not remember the old one, I was successful in changing it. I have tried signing in, have received codes and they continue to add steps. I tried Microsoft help which is automated, they ask you for the password to be able to help you. The first problem is they do not recognize your password to begin with. They have numerous phone numbers none of which allow you to proceed they all ask for the same information and tell you it is incorrect and your call cannot proceed and they hang up. I have tried every number including the phone number on the BBB page.At this point I have put a grievance with my TD credit card department for the $76.20, dispute #C1051902 dd 10/16/2023. They didn't have a problem identifying to take my money Thanking you in advance.Business Response

All I received a message saying the case was closed. And that I should report the charge as fraud. I had originally set the charge as a grievance with the bank as all I want is to cancel the Microsoft account. I could not find the original password or communicate with a human.
if my account is deemed canceled by Microsoft that is all I want not to renew.

On 8/14/2023 I purchased madden 24 (deluxe edition) on my Xbox series S for $95.39.The version that I purchased granted access to 3 days early play, as well as in game currency, and in game players.My issue came in the beginning when I didnt get my preorder content in my series s.This game is a pay to win game therefore people spend real money to have a competitive advantage in the game.While many got what they paid for, a large majority DID not.I noticed after a week, all my preorder content was loaded to the OLD XBOX ONE VERSION that I dont even have that system.I didnt even ask for that version, I purchased and installed on my series s and you cant even give me the right version.After playing for around a week on the old version, ea announced a fix and finally started getting the appropriate pre order content out to players.Its too late, game already started. You missed the deadline we paid for. You gave same players an advantage over others when real money is involved. Left me stuck on an old version with over ********* coins to be able to do nothing on the new version.At that point youll see I stopped playing the game.I requested a refund that was denied and even reported this issue to ea and was ignored.I dont think its okay to sell a game and not give players what they purchase. And j paid Microsoft, not ea. you allow them to conduct business like this on your platform and rip players off. I want my money back, I wont be buying madden, I just cancelled my Xbox service after playing since 2009 and will be selling my Xbox/not playing anymore.The fact I have to jump through hoops to have any bit of customer service resolution and to not even get it is unacceptable.At this point I just want my money back.Doesnt matter about how hard I worked in the game or time spent to be able to win as none of it goes towards the new version I have on the new console that I own, not only wasted my money but time Ill never get back.Business Response

I bought an Xbox series X controller in March 2023. One of the controls has since become defective in October 2023. Microsoft has a 1 year manufacturer's warranty, but they keep giving me the run around with trying to claim a repair or replacement. Apparently this is pretty standard for them if you do a quick search. I have seen a lot of other people experiencing the same problem. If a manufacturer is refusing to honor their warranty policies or are engaging in shady practices to avoid responsibility, then a class action lawsuit should be filed against them. This is a legal violation of the ************************* Warranty Act of ****.Business Response
