Xbox Live Account Suspended

Suspension of a player's Xbox LIVE account can be imposed because of inappropriate conduct or system abuse. Inappropriate conduct includes these kinds of actions:

1. Inappropriate in-game behavior (scamming or cheating)

2. Attempts to manipulate Xbox LIVE services through network interference, feedback abuse, complaint abuse, or other system tampering

When an Xbox LIVE account is suspended, the suspension blocks the suspended player from signing in to Xbox LIVE with the suspended account.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The duration of the suspension depends on the frequency or severity of the offense. A minor infraction may result in a temporary (rather than permanent) suspension.

Temporary account suspensions end at about the same time of day as when they are issued (at the end of the suspension period—24 hours, three days, and so on).

A message with the suspension end date appears when you sign in to Xbox LIVE using the suspended gamertag. Also, an email message is sent to the email address that is associated with your Xbox LIVE account.

So, if your friend has been suspended or does get suspended, he should receive an email telling him how long. If he has been suspended or does get suspended and wishes to know more, please post a thread in

15 - My LIVE account was suspended

No you can't suspend your Xbox live account but you can suspend your auto renewal payment option.

Sorry it's not possible to Pause or Suspend your Xbox Live Account.

You need to contact wot not xbox live unless you live account is suspended or banned.

Isn't an account with an outstanding balance suspended from Xbox Live until the debt is paid? I don't see how you'd be able to add Points and use them if the account is suspended.
