  1. I can’t recover my account


    I’ve been locked out of my Microsoft/ Xbox account because my email is not viable anymore and have no way of changing it. I know all of the information for the account yet the forums won’t let me recover my account. I’m really upset because I’ve spent hundreds, probably thousands on this account and I can’t get in. You guys need to fix this immediately and if not, is it possible to get a refund? Or is there a person that can unlock my account if I provide them with all of the information needed? Thanks!

    :)

    In general, purchases made in the Xbox store are subject to the terms and conditions established by Microsoft. These terms may include restrictions on products or services eligible for refunds, specific time periods during which refunds can be requested, and other conditions that you must comply with.

    Therefore, I recommend that you continue trying to recover the account, in this case I can recommend the following:

    Please contact Microsoft account support directly and explain your situation, only they can do something about it. We do not have access to this type of account information. Links to get in touch are below. Support may take up to 72 hours to respond:

    I can’t recover my account

    I’ve tried all of this and it still won’t let me in. I keep getting the same email back starting with “unfortunately”. Are there any other ways because I’m desperate? It’s really irritating that Microsoft takes it this serious. I mean come on. It’s my account and the home profile on my Xbox. Isn’t that all I should need. I need a link to a refund for everything I’ve purchased. I even put my card info into the forum and it doesn’t seem to think it’s right when In reality it is.

    I can’t recover my account

    I’ve tried recovering my damn account for months… everyday. I have no more options. Every helper on the phone tells me the same thing. I do the forums to recover my account and it always sends me a email back instantly saying, “We recently received a request to recover your Microsoft account (my old email) Unfortunately, our automated system has determined that the information you provided was not sufficient for us to validate your account ownership. Microsoft takes the security and privacy of our customers very seriously, and our commitment to protecting your personal information requires that we take the utmost care in ensuring that you are the account owner.”

    I’m done with this ****… they need to make a real solution.

    Hi Billy E, my name is Courtney and I would be happy to help.

    I'm sorry to hear that you no longer have access to your account. I know how frustrating it can be when this happens. Let's say that the only alternative you have at this moment is to send the account recovery form (This is the only option to recover accounts), I have also been through this situation, so I can give you some recommendations.

    The first thing is to enter information that the account has, in case a phone number or card has been deleted, you should simply omit that information and not add it to the form. That said, you can enter the following link:

    https://account.live.com/acsr

    Please note that Support cannot help recover accounts, but in that case, if you want to contact them and talk in a live chat for more detailed information, you can access the following link.

    Support: https://support.xbox.com/contact-us/

    Please note that this is a Microsoft public forum, where we are gamers like you trying to guide/help other gamers solve basic problems they are having, this means we are not Microsoft employees.
