With the Xbox LIVE issues the last few weeks (FYI: after 14days it's still not full solved) and the many problems reported to 'recover' accounts, Major Nelson explains how to solve status code '0x8016ABA5' yourself:

If you recovered your account and you are receiving the mysterious status code of 0x8016ABA5 allow me to help. This code indicates a problem with your billing information...so let's fix it. All you need is update your account information and you should be all set. All you need to do is use either of the below methods -you don't need to do both.

Remember to sign in with the Windows Live ID associated with the Gamertag that is giving you the error.
1) Update contact information on billing.microsoft.com
2) Update contact information on the console or Xbox.com

Oh man, all this over to due with updating the servers and something changing with the account information, or maybe they deleted something by accident.
LOL


They screwed everyone out for a couple weeks, and took them a couple weeks just to figure this out!!!


HAHAHAHAHHA



That is way to funny!!!    You really think something this simple as an accident?
