Gamertag Redirect made me change my friends gamertag

Hello @MasonWeiss1!

Once the gamertag is changed, you cannot reverse it to the old one.

But how come they made me change my gamertag after over 3 months of having the gamertag?

what is the problem?

You can easily change your Xbox Live gamertag. If your gamertag was created for you during your initial Xbox Live sign-up (meaning, you did not choose your gamertag), you can change the gamertag once for free. Additional Xbox Live gamertag changes cost extra.

Note the Price of the change, and do one of the following:

Select Enter New Gamertag. If the gamertag you enter is already taken, you will be prompted to try another gamertag.

Me either it actually made it worse, my old gamertag that I paid for is showing up still and it shows for all of my friends on friends list. And when I look at my account it says my old gamertag then my new gamertag below it but smaller.
