  2. Gamertag changed

    I got a message that connecting to Xbox Live was not possible with my profile and that I shoul download it again. After doing so my Gamertag was changed.

    FNC? I few years ago they made my friend change his account. He was able to freely choose a new name. Now you have to pay? I am wondering why they changed it?

    Sure, I'll tell you how to do it. You pay $10 USD and you don't make it offensive that way it won't be changed on you again.

  5. That's bull and I have no problem selling my xbox if they pull stuff like that I was never told I couldn't have that gamertag I've had it for like 3 years and all of a sudden they change it for no reason and then want me to pay to change it to something
    normal definitely not fair. And the fact that customer service won't even help they just tell u to go to the forums and they will help you change your name at no charge which doesn't seem to be the case

  6. They did tell you that you couldn't have an offensive gamertag. It was in the Code of Conduct portion of the Terms of Use agreement that you digitally signed when you joined Xbox LIVE.

    Either way my gamertag was mildly if not offensive at all, [Mod Removed], since
    [Mod Removed] is a medical term and since it is not used in an offensive or sexual manner it could be argued that it is ridiculous to change that name because it is offensive and try to charge me to change it to something else. Xbox just lost
    a great customer I will be selling my console today and will definitely let people know of your great customer service

  9. There are no "medical terms" that would get automatically censored on this forum.

    Even if a word is a medical term, if it can be taken as sort of a pun or joke that is of an inappropriate sexual nature, it would still violate the code of conduct.

  11. I would be fine if I didn't have to pay to change my name but the fact that Microsoft is taking advantage of that is just not cool for me I own a gun shop and if someone was mad about ten dollars I would have no problem helping them out in terms of good
    customer service instead of losing a customer

  12. You violated a legally binding contract with clearly laid out stipulations. Microsoft could have banned your console from Xbox LIVE permanently so $10 isn't really that much.

    Xbox LIVE is intended to be a G-rated family environment, as such profane, vulgar, sexual, racist, or hateful terms are not allowed. It is your responsibility to read the contracts you sign as it is your responsibility to accept punishment for breach of contract.
    As a business owner I'm sure you can understand contractual obligation.

    Gamer tag

    I received a forced Gamertag change. Can XBLPET let me choose a new Gamertag for free?
    Some rumors give the impression that XBLPET will provide a free Gamertag change to accounts that have received a forced Gamertag change. This is not the case.

    In the past, a forced Gamertag change gave users the opportunity to change the offending Gamertag free of charge. Unfortunately, this gesture was prone to abuse, and many people simply chose new, equally offensive Gamertags. As a result,
    the Gamertag enforcement process changed. A forced Gamertag change now automatically assigns a new Gamertag to the account, much in the same way a system-generated Gamertag is provided when you first sign up for Xbox Live.

    If a player is unhappy with the assigned Gamertag and wishes to change it, he or she may purchase a new Gamertag through the

    standard Gamertag change process

    gamertag change

    Hi there,

    I'm afraid there are no free gamertag changes, if a gamertag was deemed to break the CoC/ToU then you will given a generated one and if you want to change the gamertag into something chosen by yourself it will have the fee like any gamertag change.

    See this link for the steps:
