    'Parent' account banned so now unable to purchase games using pre paid gift vouchers


    Hi, i have recently upgraded from xbox 360 to xbox one which has changed my privacy settings on my account which has family settings on it. I purchased £40 worth of prepaid gift codes and redeemed them on to my account. Upon trying to purchase fifa 15, i
    was greeted with the message which said i could only download free items from the xbox store. The problem is that the account which poses as my parent on the xbox was banned from xbox live a few years ago so i can't use it to update the family settings. This
    means i have £40 on my account which i can't spend. Is there any way of changing the account which poses as my parent so that this issue can be resolved. Any response would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

  2. How many people have their Xbox One paid off?

    All paid off at Amazon, bought gift vouchers and applied them to the order.

  3. URGENT help required for banned parental account

    About 4 years ago my son modified his avatar by turning it green on Xbox 360, resulting in his account being banned permanently. This banned account was the parent account. We called Microsoft at the time but they were unable to do anything with the banned
    account and so we created a new account for my son and, lesson learnt, he has happily been using this account for the past 4 years or so on the 360.

    He has now purchased an Xbox One and has transferred his account to this. However, he is unable to purchase anything. A message tells him that he does not have permission to make purchases and to change the settings to allow this. However, he is unable to
    change the settings as a message tells him that this needs to be done with the parent account.

    We have called Support and they have established that my son's account is a child account and is linked to the banned parent account from a few years ago and because this parent account is banned, we are unable to change any of its settings, such as to
    allow my son to make purchases with his child account. He did not have this problem whilst using the 360 and was able to make purchases without a problem.

    Support have advised that only the Enforcement Team at Microsoft can sort this out and the only way to contact them is via this forum. Therefore please can the Enforcement Team unlink the banned Parent account from my son's account as soon as possible so
    that he can make purchases.

    get a refund on the disc, buy xbox store credit (pre paid voucher) to the value of the game, he can then purchase that game digitally when you give him it as a gift.

    pre-paid visa card

    If you're unable to purchase it using the pre-paid card online... then taking it to a store and using the pre-paid card to outright buy a gift card code could be your best bet. I know that defeats the purpose of having gotten the pre-paid Visa in the first
    place if you bought it in the intention to use it to put money on your Xbox account... however, if you were gifted it that'd be your best bet past getting in touch with a support person.

    Xbox Live Gold Family Pack, Points problem

    @ Explosive. That is pretty much it. Just buy a pre paid card. 1600 for $20 unless you parental account buys it and gifts you 400 more.
