I feel you guys,
Mine was locked back in December, I sold my series x console on the back of this!
I took this to Twitter who escalated my issue to someone else, they seemed helpful and, when I said that all I wanted was my xbox gamer profile back he said that I could have it once I proved the account was owned by me...which I did, only for him to then tell me that he can't do it and that he made a mistake in telling me otherwise.
I'm still at a loss as to what it is I've done wrong, and I'm still trying to find out.
What is most shocking of all is the fact that Microsoft just tell you to make another account! Surely, if what I have done "wrong" is so awful they wouldn't want someone like me having an account with them at all!
The email account is 20 years old, with no previous violations, the xbox account over 14 years old and I've lost it all. I had xbox live ultimate paid for all the way until July 2022 which is gone. I now cannot access my fifa ultimate team as EA link the account to your gamertag. I've lost more than just money, I've lost all faith in Microsoft.
