    Please note that Microsoft Q&A is a user-to-user forum. We do not have access to accounts or billing systems. 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.

    Use this path to identify the charge:

    1. Go to the Microsoft account Manage your payments page and select Investigate.
    2. Review the most common causes of an unrecognized Microsoft charge:
      • A Microsoft subscription has recurring billing enabled.
      • A family member or someone known used the card.
      • A previously declined charge was retried successfully.
      • A pre-order or split order shipped.
      • An in-app purchase was made from an app, game, or Office.
    3. Check Microsoft order history for purchases with the same amount that appeared close together.
    4. If only one Microsoft account shows no matching charge, use Payment options and select Investigate to check whether another Microsoft account used the same card.
    5. If the charge is Azure-related, credit card statements typically show MSFT Azure.

    If the charge still cannot be identified and there is concern that the card information was compromised, contact the bank or payment provider to prevent more charges and report the card as stolen or compromised. If only the charge is disputed, that does not prevent additional fraudulent charges.

    Microsoft Support is also available through Contact Microsoft Support: enter the problem, select Get Help, and then Contact Support if needed.
