What is going on? Cant connect to xbox 360 live, have gold membership, will not let me update ...

What is going on? I get home today and my xbox 360 cant connect to live, i try and it says i need to update my payment method (which is current and correct).

when i try to sign in it says

"your membership is suspended until you update your payment option.

we'll charge your payment option and reactivate your membership after you update your account, but there may be some delay. to see your account info, visit
www.xbox.com/account."

all of my account and payment info is correct, my internet connection is fine, plenty of money in the bank.... what the heck is going on??????

now it gives me the option to update payment information so i click on it, it acts like its gonna move to that step then another error saying "sorry, we cant connect to the xbox service. it may be a temporary problem with your connection to the service.
get specific help at
www.xbox.com/networkhelp."

what.... the.... heck man?

:)

 

Idk

Update Account There is a problem with your payment option. Please update your payment information to continue your Xbox LIVE membership. You have two options to update your Xbox LIVE membership: edit an existing payment method or add a new one.

Prepaid 12M Xbox LIVE Gold

You do not have any payment options on file.

 

Cant play Xbox Live with Gold membership.

For some reason I cant connect to Xbox live Gold, even though it clearly states I have Gold membership on My Account here and on the Dashboard. It says my Live membership is suspended until I update my payment options, but when I got to update I get error
code 80153003. Which has nothing to do with my membership according to the error code discription here. It also tells me theres a Xbox service error. What is wrong?

 

Since this is a billing issue you would need to contact support so they can help you sort it out. 1-800-4my-xbox if you're in the US/Canada or
support.xbox.com/contact-us

 

I'm in a 3 hour call back waiting line with them... so thats that. Im in US btw. So nobody else is having this issue?

Xbox members, are you having a tough time making purchases? Don’t worry, we’re working to resolve this issue right away, and we appreciate your patience while we work. Feel free to check back in 30 minutes for an update on our progress.

 

yes I do know that you are no buying stuff but this may be affecting you. but having a chat would normally work on xbox.com

 

I'm having same issue. It says I don't have Gold, but they sure as hell have been taking money out of my bank account for it.

 

well im glad im not alone...

 

Xbox finally called me back 3 hours later, it was a robot. it put me on hold for half an hour then hung up on me. Gotta love that. Hey they got everybodys money on lock down, they don't care, right?

 

now purchase error has been fixed, still saying error when entering new xbox live gold code

 

ok if you guys are trying to buy gold on the xbox you cant you need it to be on xbox.com or by prepaid code (@ zany and switter) also @ switter, have you tried to remove auto payment?

 

@ space monkey, did you try doing the microsoft chat online instead?:
support.xbox.com/.../contact-us

(also I think everyone else should do the same)

 

if you are still having issues please contact @XboxSupport1 on twitter as they are aware of issues and have asked for all concerned to get in touch with them.
