I'm currently having some issues regarding Xbox Live, and just wanted to get the opinions of fellow Escapists on this.

So, based on the post I linked y'all to, what do you think is going to happen to me? Am I going to get unjustly banned just for having admitted to something that might have happened but might not have? Also, has anybody ever been banned for incorrect age information? Did you enter incorrect age information when you made your Live account?

You haven't been banned, it therefore doesn't matter. Don't go through more hassle than you need to.

Yeah, but I'm worried because they might ban me for it later in time. And I don't want to invest more money into Xbox Live now if I'm just going to lose it later.

Wow... You're paranoid. Lighten up, you are not going to get banned. How long have you been worried about this? It really isn't worth it.

Err I don't understand.

When you signed up for XBOX live you put your date of birth in incorrectly, making yourself older than you actually are.

They only care that you are older than 13 for personally identifiable information laws, and older than 15/18 for mature content filters.

If your age says 60 and you're actually 30 it means nothing.

Just leave it alone, maybe in a couple of years they'll send you a happy 100th birthday message, that would be awesome.

Not banned. Xbox Support saying you are fine. You are legal and considered a full adult. Don't fuss about it. You should have noted that reference nummer of that call though.

But you can always ask them to check the last phone call registered underneath your name and Gamertag. It's what I do.
The phone call in which I was told this was back when phone support hired American. So, quite a while ago.

I wouldn't be so worried about it, except that I've invested money in this account, and am planning on investing more. And if I get banned after investing all of that money, I wouldn't know how to deal with that.
