I used my free gamertag accidentally and now I cannot change it back!

Hello,

In Xbox Console Companion, I was unaware that you got a "free" gamertag change. I already had the name I wanted, (IanRecker) but being curious I decided to see what would happen if I tried to change it. I knew that it cost $10 to change, so I figured nothing
could go wrong. But when it worked I was shocked. I tried desperately to change it back and get rid of the " ll" I had added onto my name, but nothing I tried worked. The only thing I can do is to buy another change, but I really don't want to spend the money.
So my question is: Is there a way to revert to an old Xbox gamertag within 24 hours or so?

Thank you so much,

IanRecker

If you don't want to pay for it.. Start doing your Microsoft Rewards and in a month or so you'll have enough points saved up for a $10 Xbox Gift Card and you'll be able to change it back then..

Unfortunately, If you want to change it back you would have to pay the $10 !

Sorry, but no. If you want to change it back you would have to pay the fee for another gamertag change.

I was wondering if theres any chance I can change my gamertag back to its orginal because I accidentally changed it now I cant change it back without paying and my gamertag before was longer than 12 characters and I cant change it to its orginal
even if I did pay

Hi

Only the first change is free, the rest you must pay.. You also cannot have a GT of more than 12 characters, since it was possible in the old GT system, now not.

Basically they are saying that they want to recover a gamertag that the accidentally deleted and how do they go about getting it back.

Hello

The problem is that I try to change my gamertag for the first time and get me that the gamertag is busy, seeing the data of the user of this gamertag I realize account that refers to my previous account.

is there any way to recover the gamertag, still has the previous not her I open because it used the same email that I use now?
