To whom it may concern:

I need to speak with someone about a charge that has recently appeared on my debit card. I had to close that card because of the recent transaction.

    "I had to close that card because of the recent transaction."

    You did the right thing.

    When you see a charge on your card account - from Microsoft or any other company - for a product or service that you know you did not purchase, it can only mean that someone else has your card information and is using it to make unauthorized purchases. Until you shut them down, they will keep on trying.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, Microsoft discontinued inbound phone support for home users several years ago. Support is now mainly started through chat, and in some cases you may later be given the option to request a callback.

    Since your issue is about a charge, for your security and privacy, I recommend contacting Microsoft Billing Support directly via a live chat:

    Click this link: https://support.microsoft.com/contactus/

    Sign in to your Microsoft account.

    Select Microsoft 365 > Click 'Get home support'.

    Type "Chat with an agent" from the text field and press Enter.

    Click "Contact support" at the bottom.

    Select the product you need help with.

    Follow the prompts to connect with a live agent or request a call back.

    To investigate and dispute the charge and speak with Microsoft support, follow these steps:

    1. Go to the Microsoft account dashboard and open the Manage your payments page, then select Investigate next to the unrecognized charge. This helps identify whether it’s from a Microsoft subscription, in-app purchase, pre-order, or a previously declined charge that was processed later. For details, see How to investigate a billing charge from Microsoft.
    2. If the charge is accidental or unauthorized, use the refund process described in Returning items you bought from Microsoft for exchange or refund (linked from the cancel/unauthorized purchase article). This is the supported way to request a refund for Microsoft Store purchases.
    3. If the charge is related to Skype, sign in to the Skype account, check the purchase history, and compare it with the bank statement. If the charge is not recognized, contact Skype customer service and request a refund in line with Skype’s refund policy.
    4. To speak with a support agent (chat or phone callback):
      • Go to the Help with Microsoft Store purchases page and select Get help.
      • Describe the billing issue and follow the prompts to connect to a support agent or request a call back.
    5. If a duplicate charge appears for the same order, have the Microsoft account and order number ready and contact Microsoft Store Support using the contact options provided in the Microsoft Store help pages.
    6. If the charge cannot be found on any Microsoft account after investigation, contact the bank or card issuer to dispute the transaction as potentially fraudulent. The bank may process a chargeback; note that repeated misuse of chargebacks can be considered fraud.

    For phone support, if this is a business account, use the Customer service phone numbers page referenced in the Microsoft Store help article. For personal accounts, use the Get help option on that page instead of a direct phone number.
