Cliff_Donner commented on Microsoft Charges You $50 For Two Months Of XBOX Live

"And ANOTHER thing -- I'm understanding that this is a pre-paid service, and it does seem that Microsoft should have shut off service once the pre-paid hours were completed -- but perhaps they extended the service as a "courtesy."

Trying to collect anything more than that "quantum meruit" amount would need to be supported by the terms of a contract that the OP agreed to."
