  1. Can't pay for gamertag name change as I can't change my billing country


    So I've been trying to pay to change my gamertag but when I get to the adding billing information and it asks me to put an american state. I try to change my country but the drop box is locked, I also try to change it in settings but it says I changed
    my location in the last 12 months which isn't true. I'm stuck and have no idea what to do.

    :)

  2. Forced Name Change

    I changed my gamertag today but misspelled it. I can't afford to pay another $10 to change my gamertag so can I please get a forced name change free?

  5. I tried this and it hasn't worked. My settings were already set to my country and it still bills me in dollars. Basically I checked the name, go to claim it and it says it will charge me in dollars. I then go to the billing details and it won't let me
    change from 'United States'.

    Hello Retro,

    In some cases, it might be necessary to change the Xbox 360 Account Region, which can also be done from our
    website.

    It is also suggested to follow this support article in reference to making these changes
    as well.

    We would like to recommend requesting a callback with our customer support team as they have the tools capable of reviewing the Microsoft account for
    further investigation.

    Try these and let us know if this information was helpful.

    Best wishes!
