$60 down the ****ing drain.

There is literally not a single title I ever intend to play online on 360 ever again. And it didn't even warn me that it was going to renew soon or anything.

Yes, I'm mad. I can't spare the cash Arkham City now.

****.

God dammit.

This is my first year having used a credit card to renew. I've always just used the XBL cards.

It doesn't even warn you about it?

Terrible.

I AM VERY UPSET.

I have booted this up every other day or so for the past...2 weeks? I've been casually playing through Rock of Ages and Ms. Splosion Man.

NOTHING to indicate it was gonna expire. Not once.

It's not an issue of being poor.

It's an issue of "$3000 car repair payment".

Since always. And I remember it used to be a pain in the ass because you have to call and cancel it. I did it back in the Xbox days when having an Xbox was uncool.

If they just did it, I'm sure they would give you a refund if you called now.

Same thing happened to me years ago, except it was charging me monthly for absolutely no reason, wasting even more of my money (just not all at once but more over time). I called, had my account canceled, and never renewed it, even though I had considered doing so before.

how the f*** do you have a $3000 car repair payment

either stop driving like a goddamned idiot or get a car that's a cheap heap that you can replace for that cost

A $3,000 car repair can happen from more than just crashes. My mom's car's engine died once, and it cost $4,000ish to replace. The transmission also died, and it cost $2,000-$3,000. That said, she paid nothing, Kia did. Still, those kinds of repair costs are not out of the question for the serious stuff.

So I login to my Microsoft account to see if I can cancel anything there.

And it's not ****ing me.

It's my E-Mail.

My name.

But the account is some dude named DownhillGlint.

What is even going on?

Eh, Microsoft aren't the only company that do it. Pretty much any company, when you sign up for a years subscription, will auto-renew it when it expires. Amazon Prime for example. You can just go online to Xbox.com or whatever and change your settings. You can delete cards from there too if you want.

Sounds like someone got into your account. In that case, you could call Microsoft and tell them that there is a problem with your account. If they do not do anything, call your credit card's fraud department.

Yeah that's the problem.

I went online and it's NOT ME.

It's some completely unrelated XBL account, but it's my Windows Live account.

I can't do ANYTHING because this isn't my info.

Some places have 24 hour lines. Besides, if the call center's in India, it is only 12:17 pm there!

You could wait until Monday, but I really wouldn't do that. Try calling, and if that does nothing, send an e-mail. That way, you at least have a record of you contacting them in case anything happens.

I'm trying to figure out when this thing was even made.

It has 0 activity whatsoever.

It may just be a glitch.

I'll have to call tomorrow, I really can't tonight. Ugh.

Dude, call 1-800-4-MY-XBOX.

Don't mess with the fraud people. All they'll do is tell you to contact the company. Microsoft will sort out everything for you. Just call, keep pressing 0 or whatever until it connects you, tell them you want to speak to someone in America, then tell them what's wrong. They will refund you and go after whoever hacked.

Well, for me, it's under an investigation and my account is frozen for 21-25 business days. More than likely they'll refund me and everything will be buttons.

You should still probably go unsubscribe your xbl account if you don't want it. Because they (and just about everyone) else do do that...

If Microsoft will not give you a refund, I guess you could try asking for a chargeback. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft would then ban your account. Valve does that if you do a chargeback on a Steam purchase.
