    Trying to change Gamertag but nothing is happening


    So I'm trying to change my gamertag and when I check the availability it says it's available however when I press the Claim It button it does nothing. It's acting like it's check the availability of the name when I press it.

    :)

    Gamertag

    [quote user="Running Pubs"]I am trying to change my gamertag to something different. But when i go to change my gamertag, it says the gamertag I want i "already taken"

    But when i go to send a message to the gamertag, it says it doesn't exist on XBOX LIVE. [/quote]

    If the name change attempt tells you the gamertag is taken, it is taken. What's probably happening is that there's a difference in the spacing: I can't change to
    RunningPubs because you are Running Pubs (with a space), but trying to send a message to
    RunningPubs would fail because that variation isn't the one in use.

    (I suppose you're trying to "purchase" a gamertag change, but these questions usually go in "Managing My Account", where there's a sticky post covering exactly this issue.)

    I have fixed the issue. Using Microsoft Edge ended up making the pop-up window appear for me to purchase the gamertag change.

    Nothing happening upon changing Gamertag

    I've tried changing it every day for the last 5 days or so. Whenever I test out things that would be against the requirements, the site tells me so, implying that my chosen tag should check out. I don't know what else to try at this point.

    A lot of times it could be that the name that you chose my be offensive or might be on a list of offensive words. Have you checked to see if someone else has that gamer tag?

    Hello, the problem may be the name itself. Isn't it in the forbidden words in a country or even an insult? That could explain that.
