    is it set to auto renew by chance?

    One should probably check ones credit card statement if one paid for one's last subscription by such method.

    One may be in for a surprise.

    one is no idiot,one has checked credit card statement and its as clear of xbl charges as ones ass is of love bites.

    it wouldnt explain how ones friend is enjoying the same good fortune.

    In such case one and one's friend are quite haunted. (i.e. lucky sods).

    In the case of asses and love bites, one doesn't even want to know :p

    I thought I didn't pay for months, even a year. Never looked at my card bill. Once you pay once my CC they will continue to take it out by CC. The only way to stop this is to ring MS and sit on hold for 45mins before the stop the payment. Or like me cancel your card.

    And with CC they don't take 3 or 6 or 12months but monthly!!! feckers.:eek:

    You can delete your CC online now they told me once there's no payment outstanding.

    A mate of mine brought one of those Live sub cards and he still has a gold account despite the card expiring months ago. Looks like people are slipping through the cracks alright.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,095 ✭✭✭Fantasy_Suicide


    This happened to me before. I called them and advised I had cancelled my credit card. Yet they still kept charging me?! Then one day, BAMN. I'd been banned from live? For THEIR error!!!!

    This is what it says when trying to cancel.

    "This payment option cannot be removed at this time. It might be associated with an active subscription. "

    Which basically means no you can't cancel your card details once you have linked it to an Xbox live account like I said in my last post.

    So you rang them where on hold for 20 mins then they told you, you can cancel online. Which you can't, unless you add a new card. Complete bollox MS. Scam anyone. If any high street shop kept your CC details and kept charging you every month for something you didn't ask for, would we stand for it , feck no. But MS can do what they want.

    And I don't mind paying for live, I'd just like to be asked if I'd like my CC used for a sub.

    No, you can only delete your card if there is no subscription active on it, you may well be paid up to date or indeed in advance.

    So even though I'd paid the subscription (through some autorenewal crap) on my nephews account till July, they would not let me delete card without cancelling subscription.

    I told them they were basically criminals and to cancel it anyway just in case I forgot to remove it in July and MS might get another 20 euro from me.

    Worst service award. How can they get away with this?
