Whats done is done... No use crying over spilt milk. I guess just tell him the truth, just dont lie, that usually makes things worse.

This is kind of lucky in a way.

You'll dad will get over it, and you'll be able to play $500 worth of content.

They dont remove your credit cards detail after you purchase something, they keep charging you without letting you know when your subscription expires, you have to call them to remove your credit cards detail,they take 30 days to remove your payment option.

Hummm.... you better tell your dad as early as possible. If your 5 years old brother really did it. From the way I see it, you did it though. Or you tricked him doing it. I would have to track what has been bought and to believe it is not you though.magicalclick

which is why people dont trust a company like MS. I understand they are a business and that is to make money, but MS pushes it out the park. Also 500 worth of content, what did he purchase? :|

Actually if you go to live.com you can remove credit cards from your account and I believe you can make a one time payment for your live subscription, besides it verifies whether you want to charge the card when you want to buy points. As for your situation find it hard to believe your 5 year old brother purchased all those points, considering the processes you go through to buy the points themselves but kids are getting smarter and smarter now a days, maybe keep a better eye on him next time. But either way your screwed, best thing you can do now is just tell your dad asap so at least he will be expecting it and know whats going rather then be surprised on the bill.

[QUOTE="magicalclick"]This is you and your father's fault though. You can buy the point cards from retails like Best Buy. You choose to use credit card, this is the service you get. It is like your gym membership, it charges automatically because people don't want to keep doing it manually. Want manual? Go to Best Buy.

Again buying points via live is not automatic, you have to actually accept the purchase through 2-3 screens before it charges you. Now if you were talking about a live subscription it would be different I suppose but this mistake was cause by buying 5000 points over and over again. Though I will agree it is his fault but not for using a card to get points but for not watching his 5 year old brother enough that he could pull something like that off.

Well I don't think your done for seeing as you did this with your dads card in the past, and he must have given you permission in the past to do so., but I would bring this up to your dad as soon as possible carefully explaining in vivid details what your brother did getting him in trouble instead of yourself.

However I would call Microsoft and have them remove the card to prevent this from happening again, whats done is done though, but getting this out in the open to your dad will be the best option and I doubt you will get in trouble for it, I mean why would you if it wasn't your fault anyways?

I'm sorry to hear that bud, but I can't come up with anything to save you. You should probably tell him the truth.

Credit cards are trouble, kiddo, I don't use them and you should learn to not use them too. Your father will have to pay interest on those MS points, and that's no good for anyone except the credit card company.

After you tell him the truth, try to sort it out with customer service. If your 5-year old brother really did it, they may have a heart and you help you out by returning the money. I know that's what I'd do in that situation, but MS customer service may have a different protocol. Try to work it out though, you might get out of it that way.

But like I said, no bright ideas to save your ass from me, other than telling the truth and hoping for the best. :P

I blame video games for this, and of course Microsoft and the right to bear arms. Seriously, just tell your Dad, he'll make you pay for it I bet but not all of it if he's a good guy and if you're telling the truth.

then all I can say is good luck with this, but for future references remove the card by calling Microsoft, and just buy the prepaid stuff, I also see the possibility of your dad taking away the 360 after this, but you may avoid all this if you just come clean with things, he just may have you doing extra chores for awhile or something.

it's not MS fault nor ur little bro's fault. it's actually your fault and the only one to blame is yourself. if there are kids playing with your xbox 360, put a pass code on your account for security. it's pretty much common sense.

I don't suppose Microsoft ever refunds unused MS points.

And this isn't Microsoft's fault at all. It's your fault for committing credit card fraud, and your little brother's fault for being a little kid.

stick a book down your pants, so when he kicks your butt it wont hurt as much. phone ms and tell them you bought to many by mistake and take the ms points back you havent used. thats a little bit of the 500 back.

its a start

A lot of things concerning the 360 is microsoft's fault, unfortunately this is not one of them
