Why block an account simply for not using its cred...

I use Skype every couple of weeks - but I haven't needed to make a paid call for a long time. Now when I try to, I find my account has been 'blocked' - though only for paid calls. So I can't use my credit balance without jumping through Skype's 'account unblocking' hoops and waiting for you to deign to give me access to my own money.
What possibile justification is there for blocking an account like this - not for being abused, but simply for not being used?

I think you may need to contact customer service to clarify why your account is blocked, and also to know what your possible options are . Just open the link pasted below to see the instructions on how to get in touch with customer service -

  • HT1918 i have just made my apple id.i have made this for itunes.after making my account i have problen with the review payment information as i do not use any credit cards and there is no option like NONE in review payment information. what should i do no

    i have just made my apple id. i have made this for itunes. after making my account i have problem with the review payment information as i do not use any credit cards and there is no option like NONE in review payment information. what should i do now? to proceed further? plz help me!

    How did you create the account ? If you followed the instructions on this page when creating it then you should have got the 'none' option : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    e.g. on a computer's iTunes, if currently signed into an account then you logged out of it, and you then found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price' :
    And then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
    When I tried that process to create an account a few days ago I got the 'none' option on the payment details screen.
    If you didn't use that process then you will need to create a new account using it (the instructions won't work with an existing account).

  • Taking my money for not using it.

    I have been lucky in the past that I caught the email that Skype sent me letting me know if I did not use the amount I deposited for Land Line and Cell Phone calls if I did not have activity.  So I just placed a quick call to my mother's home and then told her I would call her back on my cell and that took care of it but how sly is it to take your money and you loose it if you do not use it.  That I do not think is fair and one reason I do not put more than just a few dollars on my account.  Ya it has come in handy in the past bvut to take my money for not using it is just WRONG!!!  I think it is a gimic to get you to spend your money and then expect that you will deposit more and do that over and over so they make a larger profit.  I think it should be, if you deposit money that it stays in your account until you use it.  Sometimes I place Skype calls when I can not get reception on my cell phone.  I live in a very rural area.   Hee Haw!  A one mile, one horse town and over 130 miles to the nearest major city.  I am used to living close or in a city.  I grew up here and let me tell you small town life is not all that it is cracked up to be. So cell reception can be iffy and every once in a while I have to turn to skype but seems not enough usage for them so they want to take it all.  In all normal minded thinking people would agree with me that it's not fair.  So after I use up my money that I can not withdraw, It will be pay as I go. Put a dollar or two, just enough to make my call and no more deposits of $20.00's and expecting it to stay there until I am ready to use it.  Cearly they do not work that way and there is a time limit that your money can sit in your account before they take it for non usage.

  • How do i run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

    How can I run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

    You will need a licensed copy of Windows 7, and I recommend VMFusion. You can run the program in Unity mode just as if it were a Mac application. Or, you can install Windows in Bootcamp and run the Mac in Windows when you boot and run it that way. Depends on the resources. I prefer the VM method because it is cleaner and gives you more options as far as backups, etc.

  • I am setting up a new iTunes account and do not have a credit card.  When I am setting the new account up it does NOT give me an option of "none" in lieu of an actual credit card. What do I do?

    I am setting up a new iTunes account and do not have a credit card.  When I am setting the new account up it does NOT give me an option of "none" in lieu of an actual credit card. What do I do?

    How did you create it ? There are instructions on this page for creating a new account (the instructions won't work with existing existing account) without giving credt card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    e.g. if currently logged into an account then log of it, then find a free app in the store, click on its free 'price', and you should then be able to create a new account during the 'buying' process and get 'none' as an option on the payments screen

  • Gx70 is not using its dedicated gpu

    Hello everyone,
    A week ago i bought a msi gx70, it al works perfect except for one thing. When i start a game, the laptop is not using its dedicated gpu (amd hd 8970) but the gpu integrated in the processor ( amd 89650 )
    I've tried a lot of stuff to fix this, like disabling the onboard gpu. When i disable the onboard gpu, the pc start using a microsoft basic render drive. I also tried to uninstalll both cards and reinstall them, not working. tried going into the bios, but there is now option for me to disable the onboard gpu there.
    So please, i need help because it's getting pretty frustrating.
    Thanks in advance!
    grts

    OP, please let us know if those worked or not. So that we can eiher continue to help, or if it worked reply with what you did to fix the matter. So that any other users experiencing the same issue, reading this, will know what to do.
    I will, but for the moment i can't :p
    I gave it back to the shop to see if they can fix it and my laptop suddenly black screened after i updated the drivers. So i hope they can find some drivers where i can just manually disable the integrated gpu.
    Also, when i was playing games the power button was orange if i remember correctly, but the game was still very laggy (about 40fps on smite, which is too low for this card) and in black ops ll the fps was really unstable (immense drops from 120 to 30) i think this also shouldn't be happening with this card right? And in games where you CAN manually pick the gpu, the dedicated one was just not given as an option. Also in benchmarks the dedicated card was noticed by the benchmark, but not used for some reason (having 20fps in a benchmark with this card at medium settings).
    All this concludes for me that the dedicated gpu was not processing when ingame.
    This is all the information i've gathered, if you have any other thoughts of what it could be, feel free to give them.
    Regards

  • Why is my saved Facebook password not used when both "Permanent Private Browsing" and "Remember Passwords for Sites" are enabled?

    After entering and saving my Facebook user name and password, the data is not used for subsequent entries into the application after the browser is reset. "Remember Passwords for Sites" is checked, but the data is only used if I do NOT have "Permanent Private Browsing enabled. Why does "Permanent Private Browsing" effect passwords? (Note: Facebook is NOT in the "Passwords / Exceptions..." list.)

    I agree that password protection may be considered important by some for Private Browsing, however if that is the intention, then it would be one of the delineated items such as...remember browser history, remember download history, etc. that are check-listed under that function. Also, having a separate Passwords option implies that their functions are mutually exclusive and therefore should function independent of one another.
    Thanks for your response.
