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!

Ive been on the phone with microsoft  with Just about the same type of case,  I  had taken a break from gaming for a month, came back to find out there was successful logins from states away,  i updated my security and changed my passwords, the next day microsoft locks my account due to compliance, i submitted a compliance ticket to have it ignored it has almost been two weeks of talking to  microsoft every day multiple times a day. Ive had 4 cases opened now 3 closed due to lack of info about  my account . I even filled out a 17 question form manually on a piece of paper because compliance team is horrible at replying, even added a photo of my drivers ID, wasnt enough info. Was told i was missing important info. Serial number and Xbox libe console ID from my old console, so i got in contact with the person i sold it to and got the info , now heres to waiting even longer and probably hitting a dead end. Ive had this account for 10 years , alot of money and time put into games and subscriptions, to have this “offline team”  giving me horrible customer service, and by seeing these answer forums most people have not gotten access to their locked accounts, this is the worst way to treat a customer and baffled by the lack of care put into helping people with situations such as mine.

Nobody here can help you. This is a users forum. Nobody from Microsoft works here.

Further, if you or your husband did that sync thing from your phone to the One Drive thing, that is probably why you all are locked out now. A lot of people are finding out that this is why their accounts were locked, and Microsoft will then tell you that they legitimately locked your account because of that as whatever information was on your phone was in violation of Microsoft's TOS, and so they will not be giving the account back.

Hi 

This has happened to my husband's account and has now been locked for 4 weeks. 

We have submitted the compliance lock form 3 times, each time with an auto message saying Microsoft is working on it.

This email has all of our bills on it and now we dont know what we owe, trying to search for paper copies and not knowing whether we are missing any bills to pay.

This has been a nightmare and my husband is at breaking point after having this blocked after over 10 years of having this email for private use.

Can someone please contact me to have this issue resolved, can provide as much personal information as required by phone or email or any emails we had prior to confirm, as this was on his iphone previously.

Please @Regile Reb.

Compliance requests numbers are SIR1038933 and SIR0987305

I’m told they will never unlock and let you back in. Just have to make a new account and hope you lost nothing of importance.

Day #116. No resolution yet. They work as fast as a 3rd world public service. Fantastic.
