  1. Microsoft support nightmare


    First off, I understand that during Covid, things move slow. However, today is February 3rd, and this nightmare trying to get help from Microsoft began on January 21st when my son's Xbox account was hacked. Then his Microsoft Authenticator app was hacked. Then, my banking information, since it was stored with Microsoft.

    I tried recovering his passwords at least a half dozen times, and requested upgraded security by using my Email account linked to his Xbox in case this were to happen again. Each time, Microsoft said it would take 30 days to add the security features. In the meantime, the hacker is also getting these requests, and cancelling them. Every day it was another process trying to recover the account. Then, I decided to make an attempt to actually talk to someone at Microsoft. I navigated through the online support before I learned how to get a phone call. Obviously, Microsoft wants no part of talking to their customers, and why should they? The world has two choices in operating systems: Microsoft and IOS.

    Sorry, back to the details. The lady overseas was very nice, as they all are, but the communication barrier along with up to a 10 second delay reminds me of cans with strings. My calls to Microsoft were disconnected several times, and only a few times did they call back. The first lady took all of my information, including the information from the Xbox itself. She said she could see the suspicious activity and would escalate the problem with all of my personal information. She said I would receive a response within one to three days.

    The next day, I got the response from Microsoft in an Email, stating I had not provided enough information and that the ticket was being closed. Awesome. "Alex" didn't ask me what further information he needed. I responded to his Email as nicely as I could, but he hasn't bothered to respond. I requested another call from Microsoft and was given a new ticket. I was told I would receive a call back that day, but didn't hold my breath, so I'm still alive. During this time, I've learned that the hacker on the other side has been cancelling all of my requests, including the original ticket to recover the account permanently, but I'm still without a solution.

    So here is my question: Does anyone have any idea how to reach a customer service rep stateside? I spoke with someone in the US who was helpful, no issues in communicating, and no issues with static, until, of course, the call was cut off. I'm getting desperate, since we are completely locked out of everything Microsoft, and have been since January 21st.

    Im having the same issue. Microsoft customer support keeps handing me back and forth from place to place.

    This is a nightmare.

    Xbox One Broken...Again after getting it back from service - Error E305 00000001 80073CFE

    Dealing with customer support has been a nightmare. I have yet to accomplish anything today. I am extremely fed up with everything microsoft, right now.

    My customer support nightmare

    Yeah sounds like you are going through some pretty horrific service too. I've been told that there is a "high volume of complaints" at the moment, which is what I'm currently being fobbed off with. With the severity of complaints that we have, both worth
    well over £300.

    It's scandalous really, having a customer support team that can only go to one level of helpfulness and then completely crumble after that, becoming absolutely powerless.

    I just wish I could get a name or contact details of someone who I could speak to directly to deal with my case. At least that way I would at least get the impression something is being done, rather than just picturing some guy in America twiddling his thumbs
    at a keyboard rather than typing my email.

    I don't have money on the account. But it is a hold and I am able to overdraft on the card so would that matter? Since no money is actually be taken out it shouldn't matter if the money is there or not. I just don't see how they can make me pay for their
    issue.

    Sorry to hear the experience you are going through mate, its similar to mine at the moment, though yours is definitely worse. I've also had an email telling me I'm going to be charged for not returning a faulty replacement console even though it was clearly
    received by Xbox almost two weeks ago and all the support staff I've spoken to have all acknowledged it shows up on their end as received by them.

    I am waiting for any form of contact from the 'specialist team' and I've been waiting almost two weeks. This seems to be the problem. I will be furious if after all this waiting they don't even do anything to drastically speed up sorting out my problems. The
    normal support staff have been as helpful as they can be but once cases are escalated to the specialist support they don't seem to be able to do anything to help. I don't get it. Look around this forum and the Internet, you are not alone with this, just make
    sure you let them know of your horrible experience because if enough of us do that, maybe they'll take notice.
