    I was planning on making a new account and when I changed my Gamertag, my old name was immediately taken and placed on an account with 0 gamerscore. This is the second time it has happened with one of my Gamertags. Is there any way to resolve this and get my name back?

    :)

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    I apologize but once we change our Gamertag into something else it will be available for everyone. You can still change your Gamertag to your previous one but there will be a suffix.

    According to Xbox support: "If multiple people have the same gamertag, the suffix distinguishes them from one another. You can always check your friends' suffix by viewing their profile."

    For your reference, you can check this link: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro...

    This gamertag isn't allowed. Try a different one.

    But the gamertag that I want to change is my old gamertag. I change my old gamertag on 2 August 2020. I used that old gamertag when I create my Xbox account. At that time, the system allow me to use that gamertag. But when I want to change it back, the system don't allow me to use it. Why is this like that?

    When I changed my gamertag my ea that was says it is still linked to my old gamertag.

    I just changed my gamertag and the EA account says I still have it linked to my old gamertag. I haven't changed my Microsoft account at all only my gamertag. I can't get it back since to change your gamertag it has to be under 12 characters and my old gamertag is 14 characters.

    Account Doesn't Exists?

    kinda same issue here.

    so two years ago i deleted my ms account now two years late got a xbox one and created a new account but now i want my old gamertag back so thinking my old account had been deleted i tried to change my gamertag to my old gamertag but got a message that
    "that gamertag has already been taken" then i searched about that gamertag and found out that my old account hadnt been deleted yet and then when i tried to log in to my old account it said " there is no account by that email address". so i guess that old
    ms account got deleted but not the xbl account as i can still see my old gamertag,acchivement,account description and all.so is there any way to recover that old xbl account or the gamertag now by deleting that old xbl account so that gamertag be available
    to put in my new account?

    im searching for a solution too.let me know if u find one.
