  1. My Gamertag Changed overnight?!


    So about yesterday afternoon after i got back from school I went onto my xbox logged into my account and started playing rocket league, when I scored a goal it said monkeysf2050 scored, my gamertag was originally SomtingFunny to match my actual username, and this isn't the only game that was effected so I opened fortnite and it said monkeysf2050 again, so I decided to look at my xbox profile, everything was the exact same except for 2 things my gamerpic and my gamertag I changed my gamerpic and then I tried to change my gamertag but it costs 10 DOLLERS TO CHANGE IT, I DONT HAVE 10 DOLLERS AND I DIDNT EVEN CHANGE IT, so now I have no way to change it back! I really need this to be fixed quickly because I would find it kinda enraging if I got killed by someone named monkeysf2050 so please if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know, I changed my password to my email account, my xbox account, signed out of all accounts that where logged into, and I made sure that nothing else was changed so please let me know if this is fixable.

    :)

    either that or ur signing in with the wrong email address..maybe when you changed the email address there could have been a typo?

    what was the original email address that was tied to your gamertag? sounds like instead of changing the email linked to your gamertag, you created an entire new acct and that gamertag is the autogenerated one (horrible one at that lol) what youll need to
    do is go to account.live.com, sign in using the original email address (if you know the password) and go to security, click add alias, in use existing email part, add ur email. after that youll need to go to ur email and verify it then click make primary and
    remove the old one. (sounds like a lot more then it really is)

    Since you've already tied ur email to another gamertag, ur going to need to start by signing into account.live.com with that email address and password, go to security, click add alias, and on the top line create a new email (itll have to be either outlook.com,
    live.com, or hotmail.com but it doesn't matter what it is, you wont be needing to keep the account anyways if you don't want this gamertag) click make primary then remove the actual email address ur trying to use.

    If you cannot remember the password to sign in with the original email tied to ur gamertag then on that site click cant access my account and go through the steps till it trys sending you a code, if you cannot use those proofs select I don't have these anymore.
    Enter a contact email address and go through the questionnaire. youll receive an email back either with a reset link or itll say you don't have enough info, if you get one that says you don't have enough info youll need to call xbox support to have them escalate
    it (should only take a couple days to fix)

    Hope this helps =)

    Never post your Service Request numbers on the forums. Those are strictly for between you and whatever Customer Support representative you get on the phone. If you're still having problems and you want to find out what steps you need to take with the information
    the Customer Advocacy team gave you, your best bet would be to call Customer Support at 1-800-469-9269 or 1-800-4MY-XBOX and speak to the Xbox One Account Management department. Give them your service request number and briefly explain what steps you've taken
    so far.

    I hope this helps, and good luck!
