    This is a public community forum, and no one here can access your Microsoft account or billing system. Please use the instructions in the following article to investigate a billing charge from Microsoft:

    https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/how-to-investigate-a-billing-charge-from-microsoft-398c5328-364c-d5e4-ea8f-f5ad60562a93

    Note: If you cannot find the charge under your primary Microsoft account, it may be associated with a different Microsoft account. Try to recall any other Microsoft accounts you may have used in the past and check those as well. Also, ask any family members who may have used your payment card in the past, as the charge could be associated with their Microsoft account. You can use the instructions in the article above to help investigate the charge.

    Then follow the instructions here to cancel your subscription and request a possible refund:

    https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/how-to-get-a-refund-on-a-microsoft-subscription.

    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.

    Review the seven transactions in Microsoft order history, use Payment options → Investigate for any charges not listed there, and request refunds only after identifying which subscription or account produced each charge.

    1. Identify all seven charges

    1. Sign in to your Microsoft account’s Order history and compare the dates and amounts with your bank or card statement.
    2. Check for seven completed purchases of the same Microsoft 365 product. Also review prior months: delayed payment retries can appear close to the regular renewal and may not represent extra billing.
    3. If order history shows only one charge, open Payment options → Investigate. This can locate other Microsoft accounts—such as another personal or family member’s account—that use the same card.^1^
    4. Repeat the order-history and subscription check for any other Microsoft accounts you use.

    Record each charge’s date, amount, currency, payment method, and transaction/reference number. Do not post those details publicly.

    2. Check who billed the subscription

    Open Services & subscriptions using the account that purchased Microsoft 365:

    • If the subscription displays Manage, Cancel, or Change payment, Microsoft manages the billing.
    • If those controls are missing or limited, the purchase may be managed by Apple, Google, Amazon, or another retailer. That provider—not Microsoft—must process its cancellation or refund.[^2^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Where can I manage my Microsoft 365 subscription? | Microsoft Support")

    Do not cancel the one valid subscription until the extra subscriptions or transactions have been identified.

    3. Request the refunds

    For duplicate subscriptions purchased directly from Microsoft:

    1. In Services & subscriptions, select the unwanted duplicate subscription.
    2. Select Manage → Cancel or Upgrade or Cancel.
    3. Complete the cancellation flow. Microsoft displays refund eligibility during that process; cancellation does not always generate a refund.[^3^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Microsoft subscription refund policy | Microsoft Support")
    4. Repeat only for subscriptions confirmed as duplicates.

    If the seven charges belong to one subscription, cannot be matched to separate subscriptions, or cancellation does not offer the appropriate refund, select Contact Support from Microsoft’s refund page. Enter duplicate Microsoft 365 renewal charges, choose Get Help, and then Contact Support. Provide the seven dates, amounts, and transaction references.[^4^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "How to get a refund on a Microsoft subscription | Microsoft Support")

    If neither Microsoft Support nor Payment options → Investigate can locate the extra transactions, contact the card issuer promptly to investigate unauthorized charges and secure the payment method.
