How to make an inquiry regarding a billing charge from Microsoft or MSbill.info

If you notice any unknown billing charged against you by MSbill.info (Microsoft) or bill.ms.net in your monthly bank e-statement or any other payment, you can investigate it. The given post provides instructions on how to make an inquiry regarding a billing charge from Microsoft or MSbill.info.

Investigate a billing charge from Microsoft or MSbill.info

There are many instances where we notice that a charge has been declined due to insufficient funds, an expired card, or when changes are made in the billing info. So, Microsoft bills the account again after a few days. If you are sure that you have been charged unfairly, you can investigate the billing info as follows:

  1. Check your Order History
  2. Check Purchase History
  3. Manage Payment options.

1] Check your Order History

The stuff you buy/purchase, or subscriptions you pay for, always show up your Order History. So go to this page and sign in with your Microsoft account. If you are using more than one Microsoft account, sign in to each one to check your order history.

Compare your account with the charge in question. It's possible the unexpected charge may be for a subscription or a mistaken purchase by someone in your family. This mainly happens when you allow family members to share a device with your account. So, they may purchase something without saying so at the time. To verify this,

Go to your Family group and sign in with your Microsoft account. Find the name of the family member whose purchases you'd like to see.

Select 'More options' > 'Spending', then, for recent purchases, scroll down to 'Purchase history'.

If you would like to check more than 90 days of purchase history, ask your family member to sign in to your family group.

Next, go to 'Payment & billing' and choose 'Order history' option.

To help avoid unexpected charges from family members or others, prevent accidental or unauthorized purchases from Microsoft Store by requiring a password for any purchase. See this post for instructions in detail.

2] Managing Payment options

If you suspect that someone has acquired your payment info, contact your payment provider immediately to prevent any more charges. Also, change your payment option info in your Microsoft account. Go to 'Payment options'.

Here, remove debit or credit card information.

You can also investigate if you were charged unnecessarily by, checking whether:
