Solutions

To resolve this problem, try the following solutions:

Solution 1: Check your billing address

Make sure that the billing address for your Xbox Live account matches the billing address used by your credit card company. To change the billing address for your Xbox Live account, see

Change your Xbox Live account information.

If you keep getting this error, try the next solution.

Solution 2: Contact your bank or financial institution

Your Xbox Live purchase might have failed for the following reasons:

• The credit card has not been activated.
• The credit card was declined due to insufficient funds.
• The credit card cannot accept online purchases or automatic billing.
• The credit card company is intentionally preventing the card from being used.
  

Contact your credit card company or bank and make sure that the payment option that you’re using was activated, that it has available funds and that the transaction is not being blocked for some reason.

If you keep getting this error message, try the next solution.

Solution 3: Try your purchase again later

The Xbox Live purchase might be blocked for one of the following reasons:

• Too many recent declined purchase attempts.
• The Xbox Live account or the payment option is being used from an incorrect location.
  
• The payment option you provided may have a violation for non-payment that’s preventing it from being used for new purchases.
  

Wait and try the transaction again in 24 to 48 hours. When lots of purchase failures occur, transactions may be blocked until no purchase attempts have been made for a while (usually 24 to 48 hours).

If you keep getting this error, try the next solution.

Solution 4: Use another payment option

If you’re trying to purchase a new Xbox Live subscription and you get this error, the payment option has a billing decline violation against it, and it can no longer be used. If you have a previously unpaid balance for a previous subscription on the payment
option you’re trying to use, try another payment option for the purchase.

If you keep getting this error message, try the next solution.

Solution 5: Use an Xbox gift card

Alternatively, you can purchase an Xbox gift card from a retail location and use it to make purchases. Note that not all purchases support prepaid options. Before purchasing an Xbox gift card, make sure that purchase option is available for the item you
want to purchase.

Hey Izzy,

If you use a credit card to pay for a Gold subscription, while that subscription is active you won't be able to remove that payment option.

You may want to try purchasing a code for 1 month of Xbox Live and redeeming that code on your console or on xbox.com.

I would also recommend contacting our
Phone Support team. They would be best equipped to look into your account with you and get things sorted out with your current payment option.

I went to the bank yesterday to put money in to pay for Xbox live. My account is fine. If I was to use a family members credit card and remove the details after I've paid for the live will it have any effect on anything ?
