Contact Microsoft Support via the Official Website
Use the official Microsoft Support portal to securely discuss your private billing and subscription information with an authorized agent.
Because community agents and independent advisors do not have access to backend account systems, all billing inquiries must be handled directly by Microsoft's official support team to protect your privacy and financial data.
Go to the official Microsoft support page at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/home/contact and sign in using the Microsoft account associated with your subscription.
Type 'subscriptions' or 'billing' into the search bar provided on the screen, then click the 'Get help' button.
Scroll down and select the 'Contact Support' button located at the bottom of the page.
From the dropdown menus, select 'Microsoft 365 and Office' as your product, then choose 'Manage my subscription' as the issue category.
Follow the on-screen prompts to start a live chat with a Microsoft support agent or request a callback depending on the available support channels in your region.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why was I charged for a Microsoft 365 subscription I didn't authorize?
This often occurs if an auto-renewal feature was left active after a one-month free trial expired. You must contact Microsoft Support directly through their official portal to request a cancellation or refund.
Can community forum agents help me get a refund for unexpected charges?
No. Community agents and independent advisors do not have access to private account, subscription, or billing details. Only official Microsoft support agents can assist with refunds and billing disputes.
How do I stop Microsoft from automatically renewing my subscription?
Log into your Microsoft account dashboard, navigate to 'Services & subscriptions', locate your active Microsoft 365 subscription, click 'Manage', and select the option to turn off recurring billing.
What should I do if I cannot log into the Microsoft account that was charged?
If you have lost access to the account generating the charges, you will need to use the Microsoft account recovery form or contact your bank/credit card issuer directly to block the recurring transaction.
