      I had created an account with ************************ and I no longer remember the login I no longer use it but yet I am still being charged on my credit card and have not had any help to stop the payment the company has no way to speak with a person or look up a account via card on file been charged $9.99 for several months and I've tried numerous times to have the service canceled. I feel the company's made a loophole to fraudulently charge customers and continue to charge customers if they don't know how to log into their account and made it so difficult to even resolve the issue to the point like me i just give up

      I Created a Microsoft account long ago, then suddenly last month somewhere suffered ************ leak, which compromised many of my Account's and ******************** included, the problem wasn't that they would'nt verify me as owner, is the fact that after verifying that i'm the owner and yet they could not do anything, and prompted me to repurchase things that i had on that account, let alone the progression lost on the games that i had on said accounts.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      The issue is not related to account recovery. I am not requesting assistance in recovering access to the account. Instead, my concern is specifically regarding the compliance lock that has been placed on the account. I am requesting that this compliance lock be reviewed and lifted, as I believe it has been applied in error or without sufficient justification. Please address the compliance restriction directly, rather than offering generic recovery options. Previously, when I contacted support about the compliance lock I was told that the *** enabled caused it to be unrecoverable however I have full access to the *** & by extension a recovery code. Therefore, in 5 days the *** on the account will be removed due to the recovery code being used. I hope that this will allow microsoft support to be able to remove the compliance lock on the account.
      Sincerely,
      ****** *******

      PS: When I gave the account to one of my friends, I was recently notified that they changed some of the *** Info, therefore I will provide one of the previous *** info the account took.

      Hello

      I got an email that my bbb complaint was closed because I did not respond in time. I did not respond because I was waiting for xbox to respond back to me. They said they would only refund my purchase if I canceled the dispute with my bank. I reached out to my bank and they said they could not close the dizpute until the investigation was completed even tho I told them xbox said they would refund it. They said that it should be refunded before the dispute is closed incase they decide not to refund it once the dispute has been closed. I reached back out of xbox and said my bank would not cancel the dispute because it was already in process and asked them to please refund my purchase even tho the dispute was still open and they said they would not refund it until the dispute is canceled and that I should wait until the bank closes it. So now they are saying I'll have to wait up to 90 days to have this refunded which is ridiculous. So I would like my complaint reopened. I am not satisfied with their response. I should not have to wait for the bank to close the dispute for them to refund the purchase when they are willing to refund it once its closed. That seems predatory to me and the fact that I had to fight to get a refund for a download that does not work at all simply because it was downloaded and an attempt to play was done is ridiculous. How do you know a game doesnt work right if you dont try to play it. Thank you.

      We have carefully reviewed the correspondence regarding your case. As previously communicated by our Executive Support team, we are currently unable to process a refund due to an active dispute on the charge in question.

      While we are willing to issue the refund, we are unable to do so until the dispute has been resolved. Once the dispute is settled, please feel free to contact us, and we will be happy to assist you with the refund process.

      I have been banned for a year on one of my Xbox accounts. I have 2 1 year bans that I would like to be lifted off my account. I believe that the 1 year bans are unfair and a little too much. The account name is "Silvxerr".

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I think that a 1 year suspension is a little bit harsh. I've learned my ****** from it and I really do enjoy playing xbox, I miss being able to join my friends and joining group posts and being able to play online with others in general. I apologize for my past actions that have caused the suspension. I'll try my hardest to abide by the xbox terms and conditions if i do get unsuspended. Please give me another chance.

      I am a paying customer with three ******************** Business licenses under my account. As the account holder, I was listed as the global administrator for these licenses. However, on June 12, 2025, I discovered that I had been removed from my global administrator role without notice or authorization.Since then, I have been in continuous communication with Microsoft for over two weeks, attempting to resolve the issue and regain administrative access to the licenses I pay for. Despite repeated assurances from Microsoft representatives that the problem would be addressed promptly, my administrator status has still not been restored.Microsoft continues to bill me without issue for these licenses, yet they have failed to deliver the full functionality and control that I am paying for. As a result, I am unable to manage user accounts, security settings, or essential business operations tied to these licenses.I am filing this complaint with the Better Business Bureau in the hope that it will prompt Microsoft to resolve this issue in a timely and satisfactory manner. At a minimum, I am requesting:Immediate restoration of my global administrator status Assurance that such a removal will not occur again without notice A review of billing charges during the period Ive had no administrative access I have exhausted internal support channels and have been given no clear timeline or resolution path. This situation is negatively affecting my business, and I find the lack of accountability and customer support unacceptable for a company of Microsofts stature.

      Complaint: 23507588

      This issue has been ongoing since June 9th, and despite numerous phone calls and repeated assurances from Microsoft that it would be resolved, it remains unresolved. Microsoft continues to charge my credit card for licenses I am unable to use, while simultaneously locking me out of my account as the Global Administrator.
      This lockout is not a minor inconvenience it is actively disrupting my business operations and causing tangible financial harm. The fact that access has not been restored after nearly a month is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the reliability and accountability of your support process.
      I am paying for services that I cannot access. I expect immediate action and a resolution not more delays and empty assurances.

      I initiated a return of a Microsoft Surface laptop well before the 60-day "no risk" window wherein Microsoft accepts returns for a full refund. My initial order was on April 5th, 2025 (order # **********) and I returned this laptop to Microsoft mid May. In fact, *** notes that Microsoft took possession of this laptop on May 12th. The tracking number on the *** return label was 1ZW8597X8933646747. Starting at about 2 weeks past the date they received my laptop, I still hadn't received a refund and began to contact Microsoft to inquire where my refund was. Their return policy states that refunds are processed within 3-5 days, so this was far too long already. Supposedly, my case has been referred to the ************************ but this department has never communicated with me and I have been denied a way to contact them. I have not received any communication from them. I have tried at least once weekly to speak with Microsoft and only ever get the answer that I will hear back. As of Friday last week (21 June 2025), my laptop was mailed back to my old house. I don't even live there anymore, but we still own it and my old neighbor has been keeping an eye on the place. She is the one who saw a package from Microsoft and told me it was there. I had her open it, and it contains my old laptop. I have spoken with Microsoft twice since then. On Friday, the supervisor at the live chat put me on hold for more than an hour without any communication. I eventually disconnected. Today, I spent another hour with their live chat and was told that I will be informed once they have an update. It has now been 6 weeks since they initially took possession of the laptop and we are no closer to resolution. I want my $2000!!!!!!

      It appears that Microsoft has finally initiated the refund. The funds have not yet hit my bank, but I received notification from ****** (the broker for the transaction) that Microsoft has initiated the refund. I'll let you know if there are any additional hiccups. Thanks for being the Better Business Bureau, with all the weight and respect that entails. Of course I could be wrong, but I strongly suspect that the reason I am finally getting my money back is because I reached out to you and began my complaint. 

      Keep up the good work protecting American consumers.

      I am rejecting this response because: You have possession of all items from this order. 

      Technical problems on your side have prevented me from getting a refund, and a proper price when placing an order.

      Today after 30 minutes, your support agent hung up on me. My email is associated with multiple accounts and they cannot figure out what the problem is.

      I returned all accessories in the same box as was instructed by Microsoft.  I did not only return a pen, so you incorrectly refunded for the accessories. 

      i never took possession of the Surface laptop as evidencd by your own website,  screenshots attached.  I rejected delivery and you have the goods now.

      I have called in to support another several times and your agents can't connect my order to ********************************************.,  despite me being able to see it when I log in. This is because multiple accounts are associated with my 20 year email address.  There is a technical problem in your system preventing resolution. 

       

      Your failure to promptly refund is damaging me, my credit,  and my purchasing power.

       

      Immediately refund me $4711, the total amount of my purchase to my ****** account that was used to purchase. 

       

       


      Sincerely,

      ***** *****

      I have been experiencing unresolved billing and account access issues with Microsoft since May 12, 2025. On that date, I paid my Microsoft 365 subscription fee of $24.00, but received another payment request on May 14. Then, on May 21, my account was deactivated for non-payment.I contacted Microsoft support and was told by a representative that my account would be deactivated and I would receive a $24.00 refund. I never received this refund. I followed up with another representative, *****, who promised a 30-day free trial to restore access once I could log in. However, I was unable to access my account due to multi-factor authentication issues.Supervisor ****** *. became involved in early June but has failed to resolve the issue. She has repeatedly misunderstood the situation, miscommunicated, and caused further delays. She even responded to my email using the wrong name, which raises concerns about her professionalism.On June 12, I paid another $24.00 to regain access, expecting the promised 30-day trial to be applied. However, on June 24, I was again asked to pay another $24.00, and as of June 23, I no longer have access to my account.This situation has disrupted both my personal and professional life. I have repeatedly informed Microsoft that I am unavailable during work hours, yet I continue to receive calls at inappropriate times. The lack of resolution and accountability is unacceptable.I am requesting the following:Immediate restoration of my Microsoft 365 account access.Issuance of the originally promised $24.00 refund.Application of the 30-day free trial as previously guaranteed.A formal apology for the mishandling of my case.If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will escalate the issue to the ************************ (***) and other relevant consumer protection agencies.
