    Returning to original Gamertag


    I recently change my xbox gamertag, numbers were added to my name which I didn't want and now I'm being asked to pay 10$ to go back to my original name. Is there a way I can go back to my old name without having to pay 10 dollars?

    :)

    Hello! The added numbers to your gamertag (Example: #0004) is due to the new gamertag system that Xbox has recently added, which allows people to use already used gamertags. Secondly, unless you haven't used up your free gamertag change (With the new system,
    you're given a free gamertag change), the only way to change it is to pay for the gamertag change.

    The problem being if the original owner of the gamertag then returns they'd then want that back, so there has to be a system in place to protect for that eventuality as well.

    My gamer tag has been changed by somebody

    Call Microsoft XBOX Live support and file a UA (Unauthorized Access) claim. Provide your old/original gamertag and the dates/times you were aware the account was not in your possession (i.e. when you received the WLID pwd reset notification, if any OR when
    you recovered your own account because you had lost access to it).



    As for getting your original gamertag back, make that specific request and ensure it is put in writing as part of your UA. In my own experience, the attacker gained access to my account and moved my original gamertag to another account of their choosing
    and renamed it in such a way to make it difficult to find. When my fifth (yes fifth) UA finally came back confirming there was unauthorized access, the XBL PET did NOT automatically return my original gamertag. They offered 800 MSP as stated in the recovery
    e-mail (which they actually didn't provide) to change my gamertag 'back'. However since my original gamertag was hijacked, in use, and tied to another WLID -- I had no means personally to recover it. I had to file a BBB complaint to engage an Exceptions
    Analyst to get it back -- phone support/supervisors were unable to do so.



    As far as your WLID is concerned; consider it compromised. Change secret passphrases, review alternative e-mail addresses linked - consider removing both and use Trusted PC or SMS in lieu for account recovery purposes. Considering creating a new WLID altogether
    and abandoning/deleting the one you have now; move your gamertag/account to the new WLID. Do this however only AFTER your UA has been filed, completed and returned to you.
