    Should gamertag change be free after a force change


    My gamertag was recently forced changed to "SillyFawn262207" which is humiliating, and now I have found out that I will have to pay to get it changed. This is an insult, especially less than 24 hours after receiving my custom Xbox controller with my old
    gamertag engraved onto it. A gamertag change should be made free of charge after a forced change.

    :)

  2. My Gamertag was Force Name Changed ( FNC ) Help?

    Yeah, you have gotten a free name change after getting reported with that bad gamertag. I know for a fact that after you get FNCd you should be able to change your gamertag once for free on xbox.com.

    Should gamertag change be free after a force change

    Forced gamertag changes used to be free, but too many people abused the option so it was taken away.

    I also believe that if you have customised a controller with your gamertag engraved on it, then the gamertag is forced changed, i should be entitled to a refund, would you agree?

    You would have to try contacting Microsoft Store support for that, but there is no guarantee.

  7. I don't agree. It was your choice to get something personalized. If the item still works, it's your choice if you decide to replace the personalized item or not.

    Should gamertag change be free after a force change

    From the Design Lab page:

    Due to the customized nature of the controller, please note that non-defective product returns are not accepted.

    So no, I don't agree.

    Why should you get a free name change? You agreed that you would have to pay for a new gamertag if you received a forced name change.

    You were given a new gamertag for free to replace the offending one.

    As an ambassador this is something you should know.

    You ain't getting a refund for the controller either & nor are you entitled to one,why would you even think you are?
