Microsoft (Hotmail) Account Locked (Compliance Lock)

My Microsoft account is locked with Compliance Lock since for 11 days now, with no end in sight.

I get the following message when I try and log in:

Your account has been locked.

We've detected some activity that violates our Microsoft Services Agreement and have locked your account.

Unlocking your account

To unlock your account, you'll need some additional assistance. Navigate to "aka.ms/compliancelock" and we'll get you to the right place.

I have completed the Account Reinstatement form ((https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/concern/AccountReinstatement)) and got this reply:

This is an automated message to let you know we have received your inquiry regarding your Microsoft account. Your request number is xxxxxxxxx and we will get back to you as soon as we are able. Please do not submit additional requests as this will add additional volume and only slow our response.

We sincerely apologize for this delay as we know this means you may not have access to your account. We are working to resolve your case and will update you as soon as we have additional information.

All duplicate requests will be closed and responses will be sent on the original escalation.

Sincerely

Microsoft Customer Protection

I still haven't heard back. I can't access my email/contacts/calendar/OneDrive and it's very frustrating. I have important emails I cannot access. There is supposed to be contact within 24 hours – it is now 11 days!

    To this day never heard anything from Microsoft, very sad how a company can close a account and never communicate as to why.

    I provided everything they asked for, and never received anything. There is no phone number or support for this.

    hi uh i am having the same thing happen to me when it says we cannot reactivate your account, nor provide details as to why it was closed. This represents Microsoft’s final communication regarding this account. for about 1 or 2 days now

    I managed to escalate my case as I have a business account with MS.

    I got a phone call advising they had originally blocked my account due to me using email aliases , even though they were all my surname lol.

    Anyway, they unlocked it after 3 months.

    How did you escalate it ?  Mines be locked for over a year now . I gave up trying as they did nothing to help.
