    Hello Giovana Rodriguez,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Having a charge on your card might not only come from your account or someone in your household. If there are any relatives or acquaintances that used your card before to buy the subscription on their account, the recurring billing could also charge your card if it is not changed. Before proceeding further, please check on that possibility first.

    Please note that this is a user-to-user support forum. Moderators, contributors including external Microsoft employees cannot directly intervene in Microsoft product features or access back-end systems.

    • Go to Confirm.

    1. Go to the Manage your payments page of the Microsoft account dashboard and select Investigate for the charge. This is the primary Microsoft flow for unrecognized charges.
    2. Check the most common causes Microsoft lists for unexpected charges:
      • recurring billing on a subscription
      • a family member used the card
      • a previously declined charge was retried
      • a pre-order or split order shipped
      • an in-app purchase was made
    3. If the charge was for an in-app purchase, note that some apps use a non-Microsoft billing platform. In that case, the charge may not appear in Microsoft spending history, and support/refunds are handled by the app publisher instead.
    4. If there are family members on a Microsoft family group, the organizer can review recent Microsoft Store purchases in family.microsoft.com under More options > Spending > Purchase history.
    5. If the charge still cannot be identified, contact Microsoft Support through Contact Microsoft Support and choose Get Help, then Contact Support.
    6. If the card may have been used without permission, contact the bank or payment provider immediately to prevent more charges. Microsoft advises reporting the card as stolen or compromised, because disputing only the current charge does not stop future fraudulent charges.
    7. Avoid repeated chargebacks unless directed by the bank for fraud handling. Microsoft states repeated misuse of chargebacks can be considered fraud.
