I have had several payments come out of the account on a monthly basis and was not sure which one related to which, ie for other machines I have had. I cancelled a subscription and as a result of this my account was locked ( one drive ) where I keep files... The billing centre says the previous invoice is now locked, and to contact Azure to pay it, however I cant contact Azure as I keep going round in a LOOP when trying to describe the issue. I just need to speak to someone which is proving impossible - Any help please?

    Hi Gary,

    Please create a free Billing support request by carefully following my instructions below.

    1. To start the process, please navigate to below link:

    3. Click Next. There will be a delay, then some Solutions will be displayed. DO NOT CLICK on any of these, instead click Return to support request in upper left corner.
