Four days ago, I mistakenly purchased Office Home 2024, thinking it contained Publisher. I paid $179.99 but I HAVE NOT installed it. I have been trying to get a refund within one hour of purchase. I cannot get to a customer service representative on the 1 800 642-7676 phone number. The AI just gives me a web address. I have tried everything. I am going to the bank to report FRAUD and get this cancelled, even if it means being issued a new bank card. This is ridiculous! Help me with a refund

    Hi,

    You will need to cancel the subscription first in order to request a refund.

    To cancel your subscription, please follow the steps below:

    -Go to https://account.live.com and sign in to the account you used to make the purchase.

    -Go to Services and Subscriptions.

    -Choose the subscription you want to cancel, then click Cancel.

    -Review the page, and if you're sure you want to proceed, click 'I don't want my subscription' to cancel.

    Refunds are usually processed within 3-5 business days, depending on your bank. Make sure to complete the cancellation to avoid further charges.

    If it doesn’t work or you need further assistance, for your security and privacy, I recommend contacting Microsoft Billing Support directly, as this request involves personal or sensitive information that should not be shared in a public forum.

    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.
