    I am being charged £49.99 a year (have been for the past 15 years) for an Xbox gold account that neither I nor any family member have ever owned. How do i stop paying this. I have tried to find out incessantly but am being blocked at finding a solution by Microsoft who say they need my account details first - which of course I do not have! My bank will not cancel the direct debit. The Microsoft position appears to be one of supporting fraud. What is teh solution

    :)

    XBOX Gold account opened fraudulently with my bank details. How do I close it - we have never owned an XBox.

    Well if you ask your bank they will tell you

    To add a payment method the person would need physical access to your card so I'd ask your kids because the cvv is only on the physical card and is required to add to any account this is a bank requirement

    Well, yes, I know someone must have found my card and used it for this. That is clear. I imagine it was a kid or teenager that came to my house, yes. I don't have any kids and none of my family know anything about it nor own an x-box. Also like I say, the incident happened 15 years ago. Have been trying to sort it ever since.

    What does one do when someone uses your bank details for online purchase

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

    If someone uses your bank details for an unauthorized online purchase, you should immediately contact your bank or credit card company to report the fraudulent activity and request that they cancel the transaction. You should also change any login information or passwords associated with your account. It's also a good idea to monitor your account statements closely for any additional unauthorized transactions. Keep in mind that you may also want to report the fraudulent activity to the police if the person has stolen your identity or if you suspect that the person may have used your information for other fraudulent activities.
