    i am in verification lock and the phone number on file is not correct


    I was hospitalized for a long period and lost my old phone number associated with my account . I never updated my number because I didn't have one for a long time and now i am in a verification lock situation due to the account being 23 years old and I cant answer the questions properly as well as not having my current phone number on file . how can i get my account back under my control? it just keeps asking me to verify and i have given all the answers to the best of my ability and also have payment records showing that i am the owner. what do i do now?

    :)

    i am in verification lock and the phone number on file is not correct

    also things of note : I know the current password , I have bank statements with the time and dates of most recent subscription payments , the account has an old hotmail account that doesnt exist as the name , I know and have access to a diff email address that is associated with the account . This is an ongoing (3weeks) problem that the call center representatives all say they dont have access to fix. I have severe epilepsy and have had 100s of concussions in the past 20 years so my memory is very bad because of that medical issue . PLEASE HELP ME

    Why won’t Microsoft help and How do I contact management that can help me?

    Get a message from Microsoft to tell me they have found unusual activity on my account. I go to login into my account to fix my information. I login with the correct password. They ask for verification via phone number. The phone number I have on file no longer exist so I use the verification form. Fill out the form and says cannot confirm. Rinse and repeat.

    Phone number verification?

    • Go to Manage your security info and sign in with your Microsoft account.
    • Select Add New under Phone number or under Alternate email address.
    • Follow the instructions to set up and confirm the new proof.
    • If you already have a proof on your account, you might need to use that proof to verify the addition of a new proof.
      Note Proofs can be added to new accounts without validation for a short period. Existing accounts will need to have their proofs validated by using an existing proof.
    • If you’re unable to access any of your current proofs (such as a phone number you don’t recognize or an expired email account), see Get help with
      your Microsoft account security proofs
      .

    Locked out of Xbox Live account

    im not sure what you mean. i cant login in to add another phone number and the only verification source attached to the account in question is an email. i dont get an option to add a phone number or use a phone number to get my verification code.
