Dear mark alderson
Please note that our forum is a public platform, and we will modify your question to hide your personal information in the description. Kindly ensure that you hide any personal or organizational information the next time you post an error or other details to protect personal data.
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum. I understand the frustration of losing access to an Xbox account that you have used for many years. When an attacker changes the primary email and security information, Microsoft cannot simply restore the account without verifying ownership. This is why your recovery requests are being rejected: the information provided so far has not been sufficient to prove that you are the rightful owner. Without successful validation, the account cannot be restored.
If the form continues to fail, you must escalate directly through Microsoft Support, referencing your case ID, and request that the account recovery team review it again.
- Visit Contact - Microsoft Support
- Type a brief description of your issue in the search box
- Scroll down to the bottom > select Sign in to contact support
- Log in to another available personal Microsoft account.
- Under Products & Services, select "Other Products"; Under Categories, select "Manage account security", and click Confirm.
- Click "Chat with a support agent in your web browser" (during business hours)
If recovery is not possible, I advise creating a new Microsoft account and once verified, transferring your gamertag and subscriptions if feasible.
