  1. Xbox Gamertag Changed without notice and now they are forcing me to pay $9.99 to change it ...


    Today, I turned on my xbox to find that my gamertag of 2 years had been changed to a gamertag that is very demeaning and has inficted emotional damage upon myself. Xbox changed my gamertag without any notice to myself after having my perfectly fine Gamertag
    for many months. They changed my gamertag to SweetFawn with a bunch of numbers after it. Upon using the xbox customer support chat option, I was explained that my gamertag was forcibly changed because someone had reported it as offensive. So, xbox changed
    my gamertag without notifying me to SweetFawn. But this is not the worst of it. Now, in order to change my xbox gamertag, they are requiring me to pay a mandatory fee of $9.99!!! How outrageous and unfair! They change my gamertag without notifying me and are
    forcing me to pay a fee of $9.99!! This has caused much emotional and painful trauma to me as the gamertag change has affected me in many negative ways. I come to this forums page to post my ever growing desire to change my gamertag back to the original. If
    there is anyone out there who can help me it would be much appreciated. For the time being, I am done with xbox and have decided to take this to case to my local small claims court as this is clearly a money scam and if unfair which is a direct violation of
    my rights. The xbox employee that I had the online chat with agreed with me and said that posting to this forum is my only hope. Please someone help me change my gamertag back so I can end this unfairness that is ruining each day for me.

    Sincerely,

    Jacob

    :)

  2. Xbox Live Gamertag Changed

    Hello,

    My Xbox Live gamertag was recently force changed to a new name that I did not get to choose. In order to change my name again, I'm required to pay $9.99. Considering that my name was changed against my will and without warning, the 9.99 fee feels quite unfair.
    I'm hoping for any Xbox Live support to review my case and allow me to change my name again now that it has been reset.

    Thanks,

    A Customer

    Whatever your gamertag was, some people deemed it to be inappropriate, reported it, and Enforcement must have checked it over to see if it actually violated the
    Code of Conduct.

    When a gamertag violates the Code of Conduct, it will be given a forced change to a new, randomized gamertag. This is a term under "Consequences" in the Code of Conduct you've agreed to since account signup.

    If you want to change it to something else, you'll need to pay the gamertag change fee everyone else has to pay (regardless of Enforcement action). It is by no means "mandatory".

    The Xbox Enforcement staff do not post here, so any matters related to their actions are not dealt with here. Instead, you will need to log on to
    http://enforcement.xbox.com to check your Enforcement record, and submit a case review as your appeal (if eligible).

    GAMERTAG CHANGE

    The Xbox Policy Enforcement Team only issues forced Gamertag changes to Gamertags that violate the ToU and Code of Conduct. When a Forced Gamertag Change is issued, your Gamertag is converted to a randomly generated tag. I'd recommend just gathering up
    the $9.99 and paying for a change, since your Gamertag does not seem to be in violation of the rules, and I do not foresee a Forced Gamertag Change being issued for it.

    I've been given a negative randomly generated name.

    "If a player is unhappy with the assigned Gamertag and wishes to change it, he or she may purchase a new Gamertag through the standard Gamertag change process. However, the Gamertag that received the forced change will remain unobtainable."

    this isn't fair, because the name wasn't offensive & just because someone got mad over nothing... Now i have to pay 9.99

    My account gamer tag

    So my gamer tag was changed today without any warning and now I must pay $10 to change it? The support guy I spoke with referred me to ambassador s saying they could inform me about this forced change. Seems like extortion to demand $10 without any notice
    . I will change but don't understand how this can be forced on me with no warning.

    please change my xbox gamertag

    If you'd like to choose a new gamertag, you'll have to pay $9.99 no matter what.

    If a Forced Name Change is issued, you'll be given a random name.
