I purchased Microsoft 365 Business Basic today with my personal Microsoft account. The subscription page says, "We can't cancel your subscription. You have already paid for your Business subscription. It will expire automatically on 11/6/2027." I would like to request a refund review and cancellation assistance.

    Hi Frederick Lwanga

    Based on the message: "We can't cancel your subscription. You have already paid for your Business subscription. It will expire automatically on 11/6/2027", it appears that the subscription has already been paid for and is currently set to expire at the end of the subscription term rather than renew automatically. This may be why a cancellation option is not available in the subscription portal.

    If you purchased Microsoft 365 Business Basic today and would like to request a refund, I recommend contacting Microsoft Support directly for a refund review. Refund eligibility depends on factors such as the purchase date, subscription status, and the applicable billing terms associated with the purchase.

    As this is a public user-to-user support forum, community members do not have access to your subscription, billing details, or account information and cannot process cancellations or refunds directly.

    I would recommend contacting Microsoft Subscription Support and requesting a refund review: https://support.microsoft.com/contactus

    When contacting support, it may be helpful to provide the Microsoft account used for the purchase, the purchase date, and a brief explanation that the subscription was purchased using a personal Microsoft account and that you would like a refund review.

    Microsoft Support will be able to review the subscription and advise what options may be available in your specific situation.

    I hope this information helps.
