Charges on my account that I didn’t make

Hello and welcome to our community!

We’re excited to have you here and have great conversations! I'd be happy to be of assistance.

I understand your concern about a charge that you did not make. Do you know if this is a subscription auto-renewal or a purchase made by someone in your household? If you're looking for a refund for this purchase, we can try submitting a request for a refund. To proceed, you have take note of the order number. You can find it by visiting https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders.

After obtaining the order number, you can submit a request for a refund through this link https://support.xbox.com/en-US/forms/request-a-.... Once the request has been submitted, Microsoft typically takes up to 72 hours to respond with the status of your refund.

Hope the information above helps. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks!

I didn’t even bother talking to Microsoft customer support. I’d read too many comments about how useless they were with solving this problem. If the charges didn’t show up on my account but show on my card, then that’s a problem and I went straight to my card issuer. They immediately disputed the charges and gave me my money back. It just makes no sense how a card I’ve never used with Microsoft gets charged multiple times for 0.99. They still provide no answer for it.

Thank you for your feedback. The account was restricted and set up with a code...

According to the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), if you didn’t approve the charges and didn’t add your kid as an authorized user, the charges are technically considered unauthorized and you’re only liable for up to $50 in unauthorized charges.

If a kid is making hundreds of purchases totaling thousands of dollars in a matter of weeks, there should be a way to flag as unusual activity and freeze the account until verified.

I am hoping we can find a resolution.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Why would you have reason to think somebody else has had access to your account? Are there charges associated with it you didn’t authorize?

I’ve tried both a front and rear usb and it doesn’t make a difference. I’ve also tried to use a usb c charger for another device and that didn’t charge it either!

My son has a series S and has the same issue!
