Gamer tag problem

thetrueTBNRLogs · Jul 10, 2018

when I go to change my gamertag it shows that it has been taken, but when I search to see the account it doesn't show. I would just like to know if there really is someone with the gamertag.

Gamer tag problem

Hello. Ok so i had an xbox 360 slim, and got 3 month xbox live gold. I generated a gamer tag and it gave me splendidflame38. It gave me the option to change it one time so i changed it to DeAtHCoRe1992. That was last year. I had to get rid of my slim but
i recently got a 1st Gen. white xbox 360, i downloaded my profile but the gamer tag went back to splendidflame38. How do i get my gamer tag to be DeAtHCoRe1992 without buying it. Because i looked everywhere and i couldn't find a solution. And i don't have
a c card for purchasing something i should already own. And i don't want to buy a 15$ card if im only going to spend 1$ for my GT back. (This is so confusing)

If the system shows it's taken, then it's taken. Keep in mind that the tag system is in use on other Microsoft services as well. The system also doesn't see things like spaces as making a gamertag unique. So while you may look up "gamertag" and can't find
it. It may actually be in use as "gamer tag".

If it says the tag is not available then it's not available.

Gamertags are used on other services,not just xbox live.

Both Onyx and I are xbox ambassadors, and we do not work for microsoft in any way. We are gamers just like you that try to help others. Most of the time, on these forums, you will get replies from ambassadors, and most of the time, what those ambassadors
tell you, is what needs to be done. While I understand you are frustrated, please understand that we take time out of our own lives to try to help others resolve the problems they are having. You might get a reply from Official Support, if they have ideas
they think might help, that an ambassador has not already suggested. But at this time, I believe that what Onyx has told you, calling phone support, is really the best bet at getting this resolved.

We already tried that! I feel we keep getting redundant responses like believe me we tried it all before we landed here. If you dont have an answer that isnt common sense please stop replying we need an actual solution.

Also, make sure he has you set as a Friend, not a Favorite. I found this cured a similar problem I was having with certain friends I had set as favorites.

As Smwutches as stated. There are no more free gamer tag changes. Even when Enforcement finds your name to be in violation you get a shiny new random generated name. You get 30 days to change your name for free after you create it. After that you are charged
the 9.99.

No one is intending to give you the run around. The fact is support wills end people here and they are in total error. Enforcement only replies and responds on the suspension forums. They never read this forum ever.

As stated above - keep reporting the people and blocking them. You will need to pay the money to have it changed. I see nothing wrong in your name that would cause any ridicule.

Good luck
