CDOC Contact Information - Responses Failing to Reach CDOC Team
Good afternoon, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this but I thought it might be the best place to start. I have been unsuccessfully trying to recover my child's compromised account for almost a month. Each of the 5 times I have followed the same steps, which eventually lead me to receiving an email with and SIR number, and telling me I need to provide more information to verify ownership of the account. When I reply to the email (from email address removed for privacy reasons and email address removed for privacy reasons ) it's like my response are black-holed somewhere. Eventually I get an email saying the following: This is NAME with Microsoft Customer Support again. I hope your day is going well. I wanted to touch base as I have not heard back from you. We want to be able to assist you with your request, but I still need the information that I requested to be able to consider moving forward with a resolution. I apologize in advance for the length of this email, but I wanted to be sure that I included everything. and then : Hello, This is NAME again with Microsoft Support. I initially e-mailed you on DATE with a request for the information required to confirm what your previous [recovery e-mail] was yours. your previous [recovery e-mail] is required before we can assist with your request. As no response was received, we have closed your case and any further replies will go to an unmonitored mailbox. If you still need assistance, please open a new case with us at Recover your Microsoft account | XBOX Support. You will receive an automated e-mail with confirmation that we have received your ticket. Please respond to that e-mail and reference this ticket number. Or Hello, Thank you for reaching out. This case was previously closed as it was either resolved or closed due to non-response after multiple contact attempts. In both situations, a closure email explaining the reason would have been sent to you. If you require further assistance, please open a new case by visiting hxxps://support.microsoft.com/. No matter what I tell the online chat agent, they tell me to be patient and submit the form. There seems to be no way to escalate the fact that my emails are not reaching the CDOC Team. Is there a workaround to reach them so they can receive the information that I'm providing and recover my child account? J
Microsoft confirmed my account was hacked, but says it cannot be recovered
I am looking for guidance from the Microsoft Community or anyone who has experienced a similar account-takeover situation. Microsoft Support investigated my case and confirmed that there was unauthorized access to my Microsoft account. During the takeover, the third party changed the account's security information and enabled 2FA. Microsoft has now told me that because the security information was changed, Customer Support is unable to recover the account. The account has instead been permanently suspended. What I find difficult to understand is that the very security changes made during the confirmed unauthorized takeover now appear to prevent the legitimate account owner from recovering the account. I have already provided evidence supporting my ownership, including: Original Minecraft purchase information/invoice Billing information associated with the purchase My original account details Confirmation that the email address subsequently added to the account does not belong to me Microsoft Support's own investigation confirming unauthorized access I am not asking Microsoft to bypass account-security procedures. I am asking whether there is an escalation or verification process specifically for cases where Microsoft has already determined that an account was compromised. My questions to the community/Microsoft moderators are: Is there a senior Microsoft Account Security, Fraud, or Account Takeover team to which a confirmed-compromise case can be escalated? Can historical account information, previous security information, billing records, purchase history, device/account history, or original game entitlements be used to establish ownership? If the account itself genuinely cannot be restored, is there any process to restore or transfer a legitimately purchased Minecraft entitlement to a new Microsoft account after ownership has been independently verified? Is there any formal review or appeal mechanism available after Support has classified an account as unrecoverable? Has anyone successfully resolved a similar situation where an attacker changed the security information/2FA before the legitimate owner could regain control? I fully appreciate the need for strict account-security controls. However, I would like to exhaust the legitimate escalation and ownership-verification options before accepting that both the account and a legitimately purchased product are permanently lost because of security changes made by an unauthorized third party. Any guidance from Microsoft moderators or community members on the correct escalation channel would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
