I have lost access to my Microsoft 365 Business Standard account and no longer need the subscription. I am requesting that my subscription be canceled as soon as possible and that any necessary steps be taken to close the associated account.

For reference, I have two Microsoft accounts: one personal and the Business Standard account that I need to cancel.

    Hi @Balance Life Health Service LLC,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Thank you for contacting us.

    For tenant-related information (e.g., subscriptions), cancellation or changes can only be performed by the Global Administrator of that tenant.

    Since you’ve lost access to your Business account but still wish to cancel the subscription, we recommend that you contact the Data Protection team. Once you reach them and successfully verify that you are the owner of the tenant, they will assist you in restoring access and may even be able to directly help you cancel the subscription.

    To contact the Data Protection team, please follow these steps:

     Use the following link to make a call: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/customer-service-phone-numbers-c0389ade-5640-e588-8b0e-28de8afeb3f2#ID0EBBD=signinorgid

     Instructions for the call:

    • Reason for the call: AdminCenter
    • Role: Global Administrator
    • Request Description: Mention the keyword “AdminCenter”
    • If asked whether there is another admin: Answer “No” to be directed to the support team and have a service request created.

    If you have any updates regarding the issue, or if you have any other questions, please feel free to share them with me. I’ll be here to support you.
