I am being billed for a Microsoft 365 Family account that is old. I can't even find what email account it was associated with. But Microsoft will bill me again in 3 days if I can't find it. I can't get a live person on the phone. No matter what I try. I need assistance from someone. I don't know where else to turn.

    Use Microsoft’s account and support flows in this order:

    1. Try the sign-in recovery tool first.
      • If the old Microsoft 365 Family subscription is tied to an account that is no longer remembered, use the guided Can’t sign in tool or Sign-in Helper.
      • These tools ask for the email address or mobile phone number being used and check for account problems.
      • Start here:
    2. Check the Microsoft account services page with any personal Microsoft accounts that might have been used.
      • Sign in to the services page and look for the subscription under Services & subscriptions:
    3. If the charge does not appear on any Microsoft account that can be accessed, contact Microsoft Support through the support entry point.
      • Go to Get Help on the web or Contact Microsoft Support.
      • Enter the problem and select Get Help.
      • If self-help does not resolve it, select Contact Support to be routed to the best support option, which may include chat or a call request.
    4. If the billing charge cannot be matched to any Microsoft account, treat it as a possible unauthorized charge.
      • In that case, contact the credit card company to open a dispute case.
      • The accepted guidance in similar cases states that Microsoft billing support cannot directly investigate charges tied to someone else’s account, but Microsoft can respond through the card dispute process.

    Important:

    • Microsoft support agents are not allowed to send password reset links or access and change account details.
    • Support options vary by product and whether the account is personal or work-related.
