unauthorized access investigation taking way too long

Something else. My bank refunded my money a long time ago. The issue is just about getting my account back to me. I actually have the account in my control and have since this happened. I reset the password before the people that got into the account had a chance to do it. I caught the situation as it was happening. I just can't play on xbox live with the account because the investigation team suspended the access to live the and my dashboard is impossible to navigate because it's covered with Russian.

Same problem here. It's been since September 4th. Hell the name on this account is still wrong. REALLY getting irritated. I didn't even have a credit card on the account, only live points. Every time I call up they say the same thing, and it shouldn't be taking this long especially since there was no credit card on the account.

Both of you call up and see what's taking so long.

I call 1-2 times a week. SAME ANSWER. "should be soon" "wait for the email"

(They also document the call in their notes). I had one tech tell me he saw all the points back to the account, and they must be finishing up. That was 3 weeks ago. I don't even think it's been touched, RopeFob7 is not my gamertag, yet its still on my xbox.com account.

Yep, i do the same thing. I call a couple times weekly now. I get the should be soon response as well. I'm getting sick of it.

I wish statistics on how many people this is happening to comes to light, I imagine its a ton. One article in June or July said 50,000+, now some articles about hacking for FIFA, and then the others like mine which are completely unrelated to anything. I had 4000+ points on the account, stopped playing in spring when the weather got nice, went to fire it up on a rainy day in September, and found it not working.  If this was more public,  maybe they would take more of an immediate response to fix it. This needs some serious press, like the PS3 incidents.

Even with all the press Sony still took PSN down for six weeks. Bad press = Better/Faster work isn't always the case.

I'm currently closing in on 8 weeks, which is 2 weeks better.

Well I was apparently wrong about my bank refunding my money. Just this evening they've taken the money refunded back from me. I guess because they haven't been able to get the case sorted out with the investigation team at xbox live that it was actually unauthorized and not me trying to scam them. So now I'm out of $130 some dollars and a xbox live account. I was annoyed before. Now I'm just kinda pissed off.
