Xbox live account management

[PurpleLeafRave]

I'm having a little problem with my xbox account.
I was using my brothers email when I set up my 360, and hes 8 years younger than me. So basically my xbox thought I was a child.
I since changed the email adress to mine, which says I'm 18, and it still wont let me dowload twitter or facebook. (only available to over 18's)
Does anyone know what the problem is? I still need a parents permission to do stuff.

erm yeah just because youve changed your email it doesnt change the age the accounts set to so you can either:
a) wait till your brothers 18
b) make a new account
c) just not download either of them and carry on as normal

You can try going to the parental control menu (somewhere on the dashboard) with the Xbox Live account, then it might prompt you for a password (assuming you put one). From there, you can probably change the settings and such, but this is just a guess. Sorry.

I got told if you change the age on your email it changes it for your 360.

nope ive tried that myself I'm 17 and need to be 18 for it so I tried changing and it didn't work so I have wait 6 months.

This is ridiculous, there must be some way of changing your age.

You can promote the account to an adult account so you can download it. You just need a credit card for proof that you are 18 or older.

You could try and make a new email address, then setting it to your profile. If my brother is correct, then you will be able to acsess facebook and twitter.
