Solved Changing your YouTube Custom URl a second time

[TechNoboOrig]

Hello everyone!
I have a YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/technoboorig and the custom URL is http://youtube.com/c/technoboorig
I remember a while back being offered the c/TechNoboOrig thing, but I didn't accept or decline the offer, as far as I remember. But somehow i was given the custom URL and I can't find a way to change it.
Apparently the only way around it is creating a second channel, getting it partnered and getting 10 G+ followers in order to be able to set a custom URL, and then in the advanced section there should be something to redirect that channel to another channel. It sounds like a long way around and it sounds like it wouldn't work 100% of the time.
Is there an easier way of changing the custom URL? Can Freedom! Support help me out here? It's so annoying having to explain to people why my channel is /TechNoboOrig and not /TechNobo seeing as my channels name is just TechNobo.
(Orig stood for Original, previous channel name was TechNoboOriginal, now just TechNobo)

IF you DON'T know a way or aren't Freedom! support or someone similar, please DON'T reply with something like "You can't, just don't try". Please keep responses to informative ones.

tl;dr: I have http://youtube.com/c/technoboorig and http://youtube.com/technoboorig and I want: http://youtube.com/c/technobo and http://youtube.com/technobo. I have changed my channel link already, according to YouTube.

Maybe it was automatically given to you because you didn't change it. You should be able to change it on your youtube dashboard https://www.youtube.com/dashboard?o=U

Unfortunately I don't think Freedom support will be ale to help out here, you might be better posting on the YT support forums https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/youtube

Since your channel is connected to G+ they automate a custom URL wich compares your user name, there is a way though wich is making a Google company page and moving your channel over to the page, once done you can transfer it back to your G+ account letting you reset the custom URL.

I have done this once not too long ago and can verify that it works.

Just tried it and nothing changed, while changing they do say:

• Your channel URL http://www.youtube.com/user/TechNoboOrig will not change

Any more ideas?
