I have spent over an hour trying to resolve a simple issue that has been ongoing for more than two weeks. I am extremely frustrated, and I am now being told to wait even longer while Microsoft engineers attempt to fix the problem.

I am requesting a cancellation and a refund because I have not received the service as promised for over two weeks, and I am still being told to wait without a clear ETA. What business expects a customer to wait more than two weeks—without any timeline—before resolving an issue?

I would like to cancel my subscription and receive a refund for services not rendered. I have wasted over an hour trying to resolve this, and the responses I’ve received have been inconclusive. The problem has persisted for more than two weeks.

Additionally, your system will not allow me to upload the HTML transcript of the conversation. I have attached a JPG image showing a partial transcript.

    To contact Microsoft for a billing or subscription issue and request cancellation or a refund:

    1. Sign in with the Microsoft account that was used to buy the subscription.
    2. Go to Services & subscriptions.
    3. Select the subscription, then choose Manage > Cancel.
    4. During cancellation, Microsoft indicates whether the subscription qualifies for a refund and guides the next steps.

    If the Cancel option is missing or recurring billing cannot be turned off, check these items:

    1. Where the subscription was purchased
      • If it was bought through a third-party retailer such as Amazon, Best Buy, Google Play, or Apple App Store, cancellation and refund must be handled by that provider.
      • Microsoft cannot cancel or manage recurring billing for third-party purchases.
    2. Correct account
      • Make sure the signed-in Microsoft personal account is the same one used for the purchase.
    3. Billing status
      • If Turn on recurring billing is shown, the subscription is already set to expire on the displayed date and no further cancellation step is needed.
    4. Outstanding balance
      • If money is owed or the payment card has expired, the overdue amount must be resolved before cancellation.

    If self-service cancellation or refund is still blocked, use Microsoft support:

    • Go to Contact Microsoft Support, enter the problem, and select Get Help.
    • If more help is needed, select Contact Support to reach the best support option.
    • For Microsoft 365 Basic, Personal, and Family, the self-help tool can guide the correct billing and refund path.

    For account and subscription help, Account & Billing Help is also available.
