the company will continue to charge your card as “automatic renewal” without your permission, authorization or knowledge
Don’t ever use a credit card to pay for xbox live access. The company will continue to charge your card as “automatic renewal” without your permission, authorization or knowledge. When they did this to me I called to get the charge removed. After an hour on the phone they refused to refund the money. When I asked for a supervisor, they said one would return my call. When no call came, I called the number they had given me, which I had asked for, knowing they wouldn’t call. Guess what. Not a working number. You would think billions of dollars in profits would be enough. Why resort to unethical and criminal business practices. Be careful when dealing with Microsoft. Better yet – don’t deal with them at all.

My account with hotmail has been hacked and everyone having my address is now receiving advertisements, saying they are coming from me ? How can I nip this problem in the bud before things get really out of had ?
my id is gautam.vithal@hotmail.com is blocked plz open my id .thanks you.
I can not open my e-mail from hotmail.com. I was very sick in Janurary 2012 and could not sleep so I tried to get on my hotmail account.. I don't know if I put the wrong password in or what happened. I kept getting message that the wrong password was used several times and it would not open. I pay for hotmail plus. It is take out of my credit card every year. My friends are sending me e-mails to this address and I probably have 1000 or more that I can not see. I even thought the hotmail server was down, as I tried to access my account several hundred times by resetting my password. Nothing worked. I tried to call... and no answer. My friend suggested I open a new hotmail account, so I did this with a new username and a new password. This sucks... I want my old user name and old password back, and to get my mail thats piling up. Also my personal business contacs has this address and I need to hear from them. My answer from this comment will determine if I write a letter to my credit card cancelling HOTMAIL PLUS . Can you help me solve this problem?
invalid credit card charge
We did not charge this expense of $ 19.99 If this is for 1600 bundle points this is incorrect because we have Bundle Purchase of $ 59.99 for gold 12 month time period starting 11/26/10 ~ we would not need an additional 1600 bundle points for $ 19.99 ! Help!

xbox live cod racist remarks
For years I have been reluctant to purchase an Xbox 360, but until about a month ago, had finally done so. When visiting a friend, I always had a blast playing Call of Duty (COD) online at his house. For all the hours of fun, my friend would repeatedly warn me of the vulgar and ugly racist comments that spewed from the mouths of "some" gamers. After about two weeks of playing COD online, I finally got a taste of the ignorance that my friend so emphatically described and said was all too common. Call me a traditionalist, but one of the reasons that I bought an Xbox was because the fact that Microsoft is an American company. As a fairly young man, that thing matters to me especially in this economic climate. After witnessing the racist comments today, I decided to file a complaint on the gamer. I can only hope that Microsoft will take this type of evil behavior seriously and not think about their wallets. Although I do not have children, if I did COD and maybe even Xbox live would be definitely out of the question. I hope something is done. And soon.

charges without consent
I purchased a gold member for 3 months talking to him on the phone and i mentioned him i am going to purchase it just for three months . My xbox was gone after 3 months but XBOX live kept on charging me without my consent they enrolled me on automatic payments . while calling customer service they dont agree on giving refund and they put my call without resolving . You cannot take consumers money without their consent .

good luck trying to cancel your account
Good luck trying to cancel your account. Hotmail deliberately creates a run-around where it's impossible to cancel if you've ever linked your Hotmail account or MSN ID to "any paid Microsoft service." They will fail, however, to TELL you what such service may be. It seems like their business model is this: make it impossible for free users to cancel their accounts so they can artificially inflate the number of users they have.
Welcome to the club. I made the mistake of signing up for Windows Live Hotmail Plus for which I paid $20.00 a year for years. For 4 months, I've tried unsuccessfully to cancel my hotmail account and I have given the runaround. I cancelled the Hotmail Plus more than two years ago, still they want me to "cancel it" although is listed as "cancelled" under that account.. It seems we are dealing with ###s. Microsoft has gone down. It's customer service stinks. I can feel your pain and frustration, believe me. Best thing is not to do business at all with Microsoft and share your experiences with the world through the newspapers. Bill Gates should be embarrassed of what this company has come to. But I guess he doesn't care anyway, but we customers have to deal with the incompetent service.
return, not working, not authorized
It cost $6.87 to ship a trial version of Excel. It took a week to get to my home. Only had three days to call, cancel and return it. In those few days while I was trying out the program I was charged another $78.00 + tax for an unauthorized order. Tried to call the company and they said my time was up and it was too late for me to get a refund. Called a few more times with no avail. Went down to the bank and they told me they could not help me either. I wanted to originally learn Excel to get a better office job. Now that I am in college I need the program and it will not install or, install manually. All I want is another copy of the program, Please I really need it now. Cannot proceed and will have to drop out of Ashford University, when I can graduate with a degree. Thank you! Debra A. Card Tel.

fraudulent use of card

redirection to their products for internet use
I have wasted nearly two hours trying to contact MSN to let them know that I do not want BING, or any other MSN service, as my default, for anything. Yes, I have tried to remove it from the toolbar, etc... The point is-it should not be this much trouble to say "NO." MSN needs to contact me, @ [protected]@yahoo.com, and tell me exactly how to block them. I also want a direct way to contact their customer service department, if they actually have one...This is a violation of the "NO CALL LIST, " or at least, it should be.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Nearly switched to Bing from Google as a search provider. Google's mind(traffic) control techniques make me uneasy. That being said, Bing does not allow a user to search for an exact string. This renders the utility worthless. Switch back to google. Way to be, MS, yet again.
This is for people who have real complaints, not extremist rants.
does not work properly
I bought a brand new computer w/ Office Professional and can not view HTML messages in Outlook 2010. I've spent a total of 12 hours of my time in 6 separate tech calls with their tech center in India, but its rather obvious they are not familiar with this product. All I'm trying to do is view my Hotmail (Microsoft) HTML messages in Outlook 2010 (64 bit) but I can only view them in Text only rather than HTML. There is a specific setting to allow HTML but the setting does not work!
I bought the product from Microsoft under the premise that I would receive competent support, but I have been unable to get competent support. In fact, the problem was caused by the Microsoft tech person in India. The Outlook program was working in HTML but I had a sync problem. When they fixed the Sync problem, they created an HTML problem.
My case # w/ Microsoft remains unresolved after 6 attempts!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
fraud charges
MY Credit card also had mysterious charges from Microsoft Xbox. We do not have any Xbox. Had to cancel my credit card
I was charged more than what I had payed for. The $9 I payed was to just get my xboxlive account back on, but when I went on to check my checkings account they had charged me For $42.92. I don't where that came from. Somebody explain.
fraudalent charges
There are 12 charges on our account and they should not be we have no clue who you are. Four charges for 49.99, 4 for 19.99 and 4 for 4.99. I am contacting the authories on Monday. PLease put this money back into the account as this is not something we even know what it is about. James Jones

I've only purchased from Microsoft an upgrade to my windows 7 yet the charges go back to the same merchant number...the scheme is... illegally charge us...use the money until the...

XBL has been this way since as long as I can remember. It's in the terms and conditions.
Be careful when you give your child your credit card to renew his/her xbl subscription. Or buy one month's at the store and don't renew over your xbox...it stores your card when you do that.
I will say that I've never been incorrectly charged for xbox live. I have my main account which is yearly, and a bunch of randoms that renew monthly as I use/need them.. but I ALWAYS have to call and cancel, or they would continue to charge me.
always, always read the terms of service. as for MS and every other internet subscription, the fees are automatic. this is true for MMO's, xbox live, etc. Unless you have signed up for a flat one month fee, it will continue to charge the account you have put on file until you cancel the subscriptions
