    Can you go to your account https://account.live.com Sign in and go to Services & Subscription, do you see anything that matches the charges? If not, click on Order history instead and anything?

    Micosoft lists some other scenarios you can explore: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/how-to-investigate-a-billing-charge-from-microsoft-398c5328-364c-d5e4-ea8f-f5ad60562a93

    If you find the charges on YOUR account but you don't recognize making those purchase, for your privacy and security, billing matter cannot be discussed here, nor does anyone helping here have access to such data. You will need to contact support to get it handled. On your computer, launch the Get Help app from the start menu, then type in "Billing" as the keyword. On the next page, you can click on "Contact support" button. Then fill out a few more details and you will be directed to the page where you will have the option to chat with a live support agent.

    If you cannot locate the charges on your Microsoft account at all, it's possible that your credit card has been compromised. This means unauthorized charges may have been made on someone else's Microsoft account using your credit card. In such a scenario, you should contact your credit card company to open a dispute case. Microsoft is unable to directly investigate issues related to someone else's account if you contact their Billing Support directly. However, once a dispute case is initiated by your credit card company, Microsoft can then respond specifically to those claims through the dispute process with the credit card company. This is the appropriate channel to resolve such issues, as it ensures proper verification and handling of the unauthorized charges.

    A $19.99 Microsoft charge can be a subscription or another Microsoft purchase, but it cannot be confirmed as Microsoft 365 from the amount alone.

    To identify it:

    1. Sign in to the Microsoft account dashboard.
    2. Open Services & subscriptions to see whether a Microsoft 365 subscription is active.
    3. Open Order history under Payment & billing to match the $19.99 charge and see what product or service was billed.
    4. If the charge appears on the account but is not recognized, go to Manage your payments and select Investigate.

    Common reasons for an unexpected Microsoft charge include:

    • A Microsoft subscription with recurring billing turned on
    • A purchase made by a family member using the card
    • A previously declined charge being retried
    • A pre-order or split order shipping
    • An in-app purchase

    If the charge does not appear in the Microsoft account order history, contact the bank or payment provider because the payment method may have been compromised.
