yeah, they did reply, but they gave out another toll free number which im not sure which country is it for, my best guess is aussie. If i had known this i wouldn't gave out my CC number again to MS, they made such an easy thing harder than ever.

The only way is call to cancel. And trust me, telekom call other country toll free line can't reach at all. Telekom, you suck.

The best way will be cancel your credit card and apply for a new 1. smile.gif

I have my fansub staff, which is a singaporean, to help me out with this.
You MUST call MS singapore to cancel your monthly subscribtion.

Providing information like Gamertag, phone number, last 4 digit of CC etc. is required.

check out my old post on this matter and you'll get the full list on what you should prepare before calling. Good luck smile.gif

My friend had to cancel his credit card with Maybank in order to stop it. According to MS SG, there's no way to stop the billing.

YMMV, but I choose the prepaid cards, everytime.

Okay ive just downgraded my account to silver again rclxms.gif . So here's what I did: I called the 1800 555 741(country: Australia) thru Skype, and yes it is free. Things that you have to provide are:
- First and last name
- Gamertag
- Address
- Postalcode
- Secret question(???)
- Last 4 digits of credit card
- Reason why do you want to downgrade it

The guy over the phone asked for the answer of my secret question and I was like wtf???, bcause i barely remembered what was my question was, but then he skipped it and asked for the last 4 digits of my CC.
That was the easy part, the most annoying part is the guy is going to be really persistent, hes going to ask why are you cancelling your XBL gold for like hundred times (plus the "Are you sure?" question). Total calltime is around 25 mins, most of it wasted on keep saying "Yes i am very sure.." for hundred of times as well. Oh dont mind about the bogus address, phone number, or postal code, they wont bother at all.

You guys might try this as well, good luck! biggrin.gif

Just a quick question to those ppl who cancelled their CC in order to avoid paying the XBL,

Is there any consequence to that?

I mean can microsoft go after the bank and in return come after me?

Usually it will auto renew after the 1 year is up. That's their terms, and right now there's not much we can do about it except to NOT use the CC. One alternative is use your cc to buy a 12+1 month card. Technically it's the same, as compared to using it for a renewable service.

My friend has cancelled for almost 4 months now. No action from MS also.

It was in their terms and conditions when you sign up using CC. They made it very clear that it is auto-renewed.

So, dont go blaming Microsoft because it was made very clear to people who used CC. If you didn't read the clause, then its not their fault. The only shitty part is the hassle in cancelling it. I guess its their way of demotivating you when you feel like cancelling.

previous page cyberxrush post the solution, u can try that. Lucky i didn't renew my xbl using cc.

btw, off topic. if anyone of u using cc to buy ms point does its automatically renew/reload point after u used all of it? if u use cc to buy ms point does it automatically renew ur xbl live because they got ur cc number after u bought ms point? if not i can use cc to buy ms point. GH too far for me imo tongue.gif

I think the only way to cancel an auto renew gold subscription are only by phone.

you can't email them to help you to the cancel.

only US xbox customer service have this only.

so you have to dial the US number in order to cancel your subscription .
