I have family 365 where i can access Teams. I also have (by accident) Teams essential for my very small business. I do not need this Team essentials and would like a refund on this. Also the email address does not work to log in for this via Microsoft (even though Microsoft sent me an invoice to that email address telling me they have taken money for a year of Teams essential!). I am baffled how i can get this resolved and my money back, plus that email address cancelled so i am not charged again in a year. Both of the UK phone numbers that were provided to me do not let me speak to a human, literally it asks me through its bot, a series of questions and then tells me 'goodbye' and hangs up. I have tried 5 times answering different questions. So please do not ask me to use those phone numbers!!! I actually need some sort of email address of how i a get hold of someone. It states 'If you want a refund because don't recognize a charge on your account, you can investigate it on the Manage your payments page of your Microsoft account dashboard.' But i cannot log into my account to do any of this! Please help!

    Hi @sarah wragg

    Good day, I hope you are doing well. 

    I’m truly sorry to hear that you’re currently unable to obtain information about the charges or access any account in the tenant. I understand from your message that you have already tried calling every listed Microsoft Support phone number in the UK but you only reached the automated system. 

    If your account is an administrator account and there are no other available Global Administrators in the tenant, direct assistance from Microsoft Support is still required to regain access. In situations like this, the Billing team has specialized tools and established verification processes to confirm identity and support your case. 

    Please note that forum moderators do not have visibility into or control over user accounts and are unable to assist with login issues, password resets, billing access, or permission changes, etc. 

    Please try again locating the appropriate hotline for your region here and follow the tips below to contact support effectively: Customer service phone numbers - Microsoft Support 

    Here are some tips and an example of a prompt to help you navigate the IVR more effectively:      

    IVR: What kind of problem are you concerned about?          

    You: Billing.          

    IVR: What kind of product do you use?          

    You: Office 365 for business.          

    IVR confirmation: education or company account?          

    You: For companies          

    IVR: Are you an administrator?          

    You: Yes.          

    IVR: Do you have another administrator in your organization?          

    You: No. I need to create a ticket. Please send me directly to the Billing team.     

    The Billing team will ask for verification details, such as billing emails, company name, payment method, or invoice information, to confirm ownership before canceling the subscription. This team possesses the exclusive authority to verify specific charges and can facilitate a reimbursement or credit request, provided that the billing discrepancy is substantiated with the necessary evidence. 

    I hope these steps assist you in successfully submitting your support ticket to the billing team. While I am unable to intervene directly in billing or subscription matters, guiding you to the appropriate specialized department is the most effective way to ensure your request is addressed promptly. Should you have any updates or additional questions, feel free to reply to this thread. I’ll be glad to assist further wherever I can.   

    If you found the response useful, please consider marking it as accepted, as this may help other community members who are looking for similar guidance.    

    I look forward to continuing the conversation.
