The calls don’t even help I want face to face help I need to unlink my Microsoft account...

I was happy to play Minecraft on my PS console, but the account got signed out and deleted. However, it is still linked to my PSN account.

I am trying to log on to a new account and it's not working.

I'm dissatisfied with this and want to play Minecraft with my friends. I know you might not read this and learn, so please read this and learn.

New meaning to the word "stupid'

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I truly don't know what to do. Microsoft has been sending me email after email, all complaining that a charge did not go through on the card on file and for me to make a payment -- but did they think even once that adding a new card might help?

Never mind; I did that. I added TWO CARDS -- but they have vanished from the account! They are still using the card that was deactivated because of an unauthorized transaction on January 17, 2024 and I have sent to them a PDF of the email that my bank sent to me confirming that the card in question was deactivated on that date. But does MIcrosoft pay attention to that?

Why should they? They apparently get their kicks by harassing the one customer whose card is no longer valid and EVERY LAST EMAIL THAT THEY SEND MENTIONS THAT CARD BY ITS LAST FOUR DIGITS!!! I have enough documentation to sink a ship to explain that to them, but if they don't know how to read, that won't help. I have been in chats with them and the agents all make up stories that are proven to be lies when I continue to get the email notices of failed payments from the same card!!!

What am I supposed to do?

What is their problem other than no functioning brains? I truly cannot believe that a company as well established as Microsoft is so sloppy about the way they "manage" their website and their accounts. I have written so many complaints against them that apparently nobody can get through to them. I feel I'm just wasting time and energy trying to get through to them because they have made sure that there will be no way that I can ever make contact with a human being who can and will correct the problem which is not a difficult one to resolve, but apparently, they enjoy harassing me with one email after the next that just proves their inefficiency!

I wish I was making all this up.

Unfortunately, I'm telling the truth 1000% and still nothing is getting done. I have no idea what to do that I haven't already done. I even sent a huge envelope with documents explaining the problem to their office in Redmond, Washington via certified mail, but if they can't read -- and they probably can't -- that won't change things. This goes beyond being idiotic.

I can do no more than I have already done.

I have been through quite a few challenges in my lifetime on both sides of the Atlantic, but none have come close to being as utterly devoid of minimum intelligence as this one. I truly don't know what to say or do now.

Nothing works, nothing at all. It's not like me to give up, but I'm feeling that's my only option now because making Herculean efforts to get through to them is not working at all.

Preferred solution: I'm wondering if litigation is my only option. Nothing else is working. If I have to litigate, I will not be demanding small amounts after all the misery and suffering that I have already endured.

User's recommendation: Do everything you can to avoid any contact with Microsoft. If you work in hi-tech, you may end up taking drugs or developing a drinking habit to try to live down what Microsoft does to you.

Resolved: Trying To Help Old Lady Get Her Hotmail Account Unblocked

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Sep 23, 2024

Finally able to reset password! Had to stay the course but got access to Hotmail again. Thank you MICROSOFT !.

Original review Sep 23, 2024
Need help! Tried the rest tool many times but keep getting rejected.
This land is Theresa Wolf with a Hotmail email address t*****a.***f@***.com.
She sends so few emails that the questions on the reset tool are impossible for her to remember addresses and subject line details.
I understand your high level of security but she really wants her email back. Hotmail is her only email account and the phone number listed with the account is a landline and does not get text messages.
Perhaps someone could call her and walk her through getting her email unblocked.
Her Name is Theresa Wolf and her telephone number is 7*6-6*1-****
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your expected assistance.
Regards,
John *****n

I am pissed at Microsoft and google

Your phones and laptop have been confiscated by both Microsoft and Google. They have frozen not only mine, but also the ladies' at the computer shop who came for help because their accounts were also intercepted by Microsoft.

My LinkedIn account has been restricted since December because of a remark that I am going to take the world situation to the courts of heaven! I have a legal 2010 Microsoft license. I posted it on every other platform, nothing happened. 1465 people on LinkedIn liked my content.

However, someone said it's hateful speech. Enough is enough.

Microsoft is an STD

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Microsoft is a piece of garbage, to be Frank. Somehow, my birthday is set to 2012, when it should be 1987.

So, I wanted to add more gf to My account as lots of photos, dont want to lose all my info, but guess what, I cant, because, apparently, only 12. It tells me I need an adult, oh and you cant change your birthday without an adult. So not only cant add more GB, I cant change my age, theres literally no number to call to talk to someone, when you email back and forth with some generic speaking robot person, they tell you to do the same thing the internet tells you to do, which does not work.

What a horrible company, Bill Gates is, obviously a disgusting human being, Microsoft is an embarrassment. NEVER USE MICROSOFT ONE DRIVE!!!

Repeatedly trying to change my password unsuccessfully

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Apparently, I entered a mistaken password; hence, I was told that I had to change my password. I have tried for over 4 hours and no matter what I do, Microsoft continues to run me in a frustrating loop where my information is never enough.

They have blocked me from my email and from customer service chat (they ask me to log in but will not accept my login), hence I can never get into the customer service chat.

Of course, Microsoft never provides a phone number. It appears that my only alternative is to contact the Pennsylvania Attorney General as Microsoft has slammed the door in my face.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. They removed the x box charge someone made for points in their game on my account funny my account was not lost as I had changed the pw hmmmm but I have no Xbox and am not a girl from the e mail I recovered it was silly !!! But not for charging my Google microsoft account it was Fully refunded thank you !

Original review Sep 19, 2024

The situation was good later, but it was unclear why and how another person could charge an Xbox game points purchase on a non-active Xbox account. Eventually, I created an account without an Xbox to prevent this, but surprisingly, they could remove my family members from your family section.

They even attempted to remove me, and then sent themselves an invite to the family. It was laughable, and that's how I identified her online.

I laughed out loud. Thankfully, the amount has now been refunded.
