Summary: Despite both confirmed service cancellation at the conclusion of Feb 2023 *AND* my removal of auto-pay option and payment methods in my Comcast online account, Comcast has proceeded to continue charging monthly service fees to my credit card, including today, Mar 27, 2023. #### Details: We have had home internet service with Comcast at various residences across ~10 years. Due to repeated issues with connectivity and difficulty with getting known outdoor relay equipment addressed, on Feb 17, 2023, I canceled our home internet services with them, effective Feb 28, 2023, via online support chat. I was assured that that would be all I have to do, and I received automated email confirmation of my cancellation request and final service date. The chat agent provided me with confirmation ID ****************. (Comcast provides no customer-facing access to support tickets nor the option to download chat transcripts for record keeping, which I think is a terribly evasive and untrustworthy practice, but I copy and paste and chat conversations for my own paper trail management). On March 3, 2023, I received a notification that my monthly bill for March was ready to be viewed. I again reached out via chat to address this issue. I had to go through 3 chat agents and repeat my need to cancel service and cease all billing before someone understood my issue properly and could offer me (what I thought was) effective help. The "resolving" agent provided the following explanation: ####
[Me:] Why were my services not cancelled previously? That time I also received a confirmation number and multiple emails. I want to know this will not happen again.
[Agent:] I really apologize for this. I am assuring you this that it will not happen again and your services have already cancelled successfully.
[Me:] Please explain why my services did not conclude as confirmed previously
[Agent:] AS there is some system automated error due to which it is not happed
[Me:] So this could happen again.
[Agent:] But Now it is successfully cancelled
[Me:] So service is completely cancelled now?
[Agent:] Please be rest assured it will not be happen again. ####
Once again, the agent provided me a confirmation number (****************), and once again, I received the automated "We received your cancellation request" email notification with the same agreed last date of service. At this time, in my Xfinity account, I removed all autopay methods to ensure that, even if there was again an erroneous contiuing bill on my account, I would not be charged.
Lo and behold, today, March 27, 2023, I have been CHARGED via my credit card (previously removed from my account WEEKS AGO) $44.35 for services. Continuing issues with my account persisting in billable services is one (very stupid) thing, but breaking trust on the supposed expunging of my credit card information to continue charging it is unconscionable.
I am making this report to not only *hopefully* ensure the final correction of this ongoing issue on my own account, but to raise awareness that Comcast Xfinity appears to not be managing payment data in a trustworthy or secure manner such that even removed payment methods can continue to be charged (regardless of whether or not services associated with those charges remain active).Business Response

Case Number: ********
Date of Notice: March 27, 2023
Dear Sir/Madam:
This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ***** ***** regarding Xfinity service.
The early termination fee that was applied on March 4, 2023, was valid because records show that on August 4, 2022, *** ***** accepted a promotion for the Connect More Internet for a promotional price with a term agreement for 12-months, autopay and paperless billing monthly discount. The promotion and the agreement started on August 4, 2022, and was effective through August 4, 2023. On February 17, 2023, an order to disconnect the service was created with a completion date of February 28, 2023, and a stop billing date of February 28, 2023.
On February 17, 2023, *** ***** had a chat with a representative, the representative created the disconnect order, which was completed on March 3, 2023, with a backdated billing date of February 28, 2023. The representative did not mention to *** ***** that there was going to be an early termination fee. On March 31, 2023, I sent the necessary feedback to the vendor.
Records show that on April 5, 2023, *** ***** disabled the autopay, but there is no record to indicate that he disabled or requested to disable the autopay prior to April 5, 2023.
On March 29, 2023, I reversed the early termination fee, as a courtesy. The credit reflected on the April 4, 2023, billing statement.
On April 6, 2023, I emailed *** ***** to let him know that the refunds were processed on April 4, 2023, and should be going back to his credit card in two separate refund amounts. On April 6, 2023, I received an email from *** *****, confirming that he received the refund back to his credit card. I apologized for any inconvenience that may have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.
I trust that this letter provides your office with the information required for resolution in this matter. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at ###-###-####.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:There are statements that create an inaccurate impression of the facts here.
Yes, I received my money back. However, the record should correctly state:
1. Regarding my chat with support, the representative did not simply fail to mention I would be charged a disconnection fee. I asked directly and explicitly if there would be any charges or fees associated with my service cancellation, and was told directly there would not be. This is not a matter of ME consciously neglecting to abide by any agreements.
2. After ANOTHER chat with support on March 3, 2023, following my initial cancellation and the surprising receipt of a bill for a subsequent month of services, in a proactive effort to prevent Comcast from further erroneous charges to my credit card, I removed my payment details and turned off autopay. I specifically remember doing this because it prompted an ironic notice that I would not be receiving an autopay discount on future billings, which made me laugh since I had already cancelled. That Comcast cannot see any evidence of this in addition to the fact that my payment information was not only retained but then still CHARGED is extremely concerning.
In all, since I first gave notice of cancellation, this has taken nearly 2 months to resolve. They had no problem immediately charging me the fees I was told I would not be charged for, yet required 30 days before they could process a refund and return that money to me. (And this does not include the service issues I had previous to this that were not properly addressed and led to my cancellation to begin with.)
I don't expect or desire any further compensatory response or engagement from Comcast. I just want the record here to be accurate.
I will next undertake to have all my data with Comcast expunged per their instructions. I can only hope that will be properly honored and completed.

***** *****Initial Complaint

On February 3, 2023, I contacted Comcast via text checking on prices as my one year internet contract was expiring. Without going into too many details, I texted with Nausheen who quoted me $70.00 plus tax. I confirmed with her at least twice about the price ensuring it was the correct price. It was $10.00 more than I was originally paying, but with discounts she mentioned, it was the best price I could receive, or at least that is what I thought. When I received my bill, the actual price was $95.00, $25.00 more than she quoted. I contacted Comcast's customer service and they would not help me. They just kept telling me what offers they currently had and a $70.00 one was not offered. I contacted their corporate office and was in touch with ***** (Executive Customer Relations). She basically told me the same thing. I really didn't care what they offered, I wanted what was offered to me which was a $70.00/month plan. ***** gave me $150.00 credit which was half of what was quoted to me (annual difference in pricing). She never acknowledged the error or responded to my question as why I did not get the full $300.00 ($25.00 x 12=$300.00). Having dealt with them in the past, I knew they could not give me a $70.00 plan since they did not have one, so a credit would have been acceptable. I have attached two photos of the misquote and have more photos of the entire text conversation if needed. Receiving only half of what is owed to me is not acceptable. This is the third time Comcast has misquoted me and I am just frustrated with this billion dollar company stepping on us little guys! They need to honor the quote I received on February 3 by Nausheen. Thank you.Business Response

Date of Notice: March 24, 2023
Dear Sir/Madam:
This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ******* ******** regarding Xfinity service.
On March 28, 2023, I communicated via email with *** ******** and confirmed she is currently subscribed to a 12-month agreement for the Gigabit package, which includes: Gigabit internet service. *** ******** also has xFi Complete at an additional cost. Additional services and modems are not included in the package price. This package was effective February 3, 2023, and will expire on February 3, 2024, at which time, retail rates will apply. *** ******** consented to this agreement via text message. Please be advised the billing on this account was accurate at that time. We do not offer the previous grandfathered plan that included Extreme Pro+ internet, due to this plan has been retired and is unavailable.
The Agreement includes information that by enrolling Paperless Billing and Automatic Payments with the customer’s credit or debit card, they will receive an discount. If customers enroll in Paperless Billing and Automatic Payments with their checking account, the discount amount is larger.
Our records indicate that a credit was applied on February 3, 2023 and this credit reflected on the February 25, 2023, billing statement. Our records indicate that a courtesy credit for the customer service experience was applied on March 10, 2023, and this credit reflected on the March 20, 2023, billing statement.
*** ******** was offered the above plan and misunderstood the pricing and is requesting full credit for the misunderstood amount. As a result, the credit request is unjustified and has been respectfully denied. I apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.
I trust that this letter provides your office with the information required for resolution in this matter. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at ###-###-####.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:As mentioned in my original complaint, I was given the wrong price for an internet package. I did not misunderstand the pricing, I was given the wrong price by ********. She told me four times the price would be $70.00; I included the attachments with the price I was quoted in my previous complaint. I have tried to attach them again but, unfortunately, I am unable to proceed with the attachments. Please let me know if you need them again. I wanted to confirm the price with ******** and make sure I had proof as this is not the first time Comcast has misquoted me and not honored the price I was offered. Janet, from Comcast, never acknowledged the customer agent's error, but did offer me a partial credit to my account. Why would she do that if I misunderstood? I did not misunderstand; the quote I received was wrong and she is not willing to give me the difference in the pricing. Honestly, I am not sure how much proof I can offer than the photos of the quote I was given. I had to take photos of the chat as they never mailed me the chat as promised. This multi-billion corporation is taking advantage of me and many customers. I just want the rate I was quoted to be honored and obviously they are not willing to do this.
Thank you. I appreciate you taking my complaint under consideration as I am very frustrated and unhappy with the customer service I have received from Comcast.

Comcast will not answer the phone and thus, we are unable to get the problem resolved. We have tried multiple times to call them in order to get our cable box activated. When we call, the call goes to a standard menu which keeps telling us that they will send a signal to activate the box. The box doesn't activate and then we call back and get the same menu. We cannot find any way to get to a human being to explain our issue. This has been going on for about 24 hours now. We don't know what to do! We are paying $10 a month for this box and we cannot use it.This is unacceptable for any business!!Business Response

Problems with Comcast/Xfinity over the yrs, this ranks among the worst. Ive called for months to find out why my bill is higher lately getting someone who doesn't speak or hear well, after the automated interrogation. Yesterday I spoke with **** around 1:15pm CDT he advised there was a price increase Jan 2023. Advised on fixed income and barely paying $174 monthly; new rate $188! He hurriedly offered me a "discount" to be $177 and texted me a contract to sign. I asked him as I viewed the link about certain features and he boldly and quickly said to overlook, I was getting "everything" I already have. Reluctantly I signed believing . LIES!!!! Not only was the new package inferior,I lost a some of my FAVORITE channels including ****, ***, ***, +++! Suddenly my DVR lost Over 50 saved movies!Erased ! Some yrs old! I'm an avid TV watcher old movie buff losing precious stored ORIGINAL favorites, Sinbad journeys, Ape series, ******** 1, II, **** ** ******, old westerns.Internet crawling. DVR now only 1/5!! It stinks **** assured me Id lose nothing. A CS rep recklessly overlooks my plea for help and I get beat down, handled in a condescending manner. Today I spent 1hour around 11am CDT with loyalty rep"Mo"! He nice but also in a hurry. He spent 35-45 minutes he claimed taking care of me getting all the channels I'd lost and getting my DVR back to 150hrs. Then he stated I'd only be paying an addl $7.00 a month b/c now the plan I was switched from was an "OLD plan" and to get the channels and to re-upgrade my DVR I would have to go to this plan!!! Can you believe that! After one hour thats would I had agreed to, an increase on top of the increase Id already gotten this year!! All was supposed to be restored in 20minutes. That didn't happen and I called back and spoke to ZEN in tech support. 38 later and some of the 160 channels were not working and critically my DVR storage is sill 1/5 of what it should be.

Hello, I filed a BBB complaint regarding order number: ******************* that was placed on 4/15/22 for two cell phones. Customer number: *********. Issue was I cancelled service within proper time period to avoid fees, however, due to errors on Xfinity's end, they were consistently unable to send me the appropriate return labels and consequently began auto-deducting for their cellular service, despite phones remaining inactive/unopened in their original boxes.Since the original BBB complaint filing, Xfinity did finally send the return labels. Phones were returned and Xfinity acknowleged recieving them. However, I cannot make contact with anyone who can assist in processing refund for months of service charged, which I was told would be credited back - and fees continue to be withdrawn. I get transferred until i'm dropped, leave vm's that are not returned and the one person who had been emailing faded away. This will be going on one year. Please assist.Thank you in advance.***********************************Business Response

This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by *********************************** regarding Xfinity service.
On April 15, 2022, ******************** purchased two ******** One 5G Ace, 64 GB devices. The devices shipped on April 15, 2022, and were delivered to the service address on file on April 19, 2022.

Due to the error being submitted on our end, on December 5, 2022, I had a return label sent to the email address on file.

I explained due to system limitations, I would be able to issue two of the refunds manually back to the card ending in **** and the remaining balance would have to be in the form of a check. I explained once the check is approved, it can take 30 business days for her to receive it via mail.On April 16, 2023, the refunds to the card ending in ****were successful and should reflect in the account in 3 to 5 business days.

Comcast has been overcharging me since Sept'22. They have acknowledged the problem and promised to send a refund check and reset the monthly invoicing to the correct amount in January'23, but nothing has been done yet. I have been on calls with them at least 4 times now and each spanning 1-2hrs.
Every call I get on, again it starts all over again - "What's the problem", "We don't have access to the last conversation".

Dear Sir/Madam:
This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ***** ****** regarding Xfinity service.
Our records indicate that on May 2, 2023, *** ****** accepted a promotional rate for his Super-Fast Internet service that included a multi-product discount if a new Xfinity Mobile (XM) line was activated within 90 days of his order. On May 13, 2023, *** ****** activated a new XM line, and the multi-product discount began the next day. The end of the promotional discount was May 13, 2024. However, on July 30, 2022, *** ****** disconnected his XM services. As a result, the XM discount was removed from the account on August 11, 2022. On September 17, 2022, our front-line customer service team informed *** ****** about the loss of his XM discount.
On October 7, 2023, *** ****** reactivated his Xfinity Mobile services. However, his residential account was no longer eligible for the XM discount. I communicated with *** ****** regarding these concerns between March 22, 2023 and April 5, 2023. To resolve this matter, a one-time courtesy credit and a 12-month discount were offered to *** ******, which he declined.
Please be advised the billing on this account was accurate at that time. I apologized for any inconvenience that may have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
6th April’23
I’m not at all in agreement with *****’s analysis. ***** has chosen to work in isolation without any consultation or investigation within Comcast. He often has been thrusting his power, by saying I'm the final decision maker, you don't have any other options. Basically saying "my way or highway”.
Issue #1:
The one and only reason for me to reactivate the mobile service was to avail a similar discount (if not the same) which I lost when I discontinued in the month of July/Aug’22. In Aug/Sept’22 when I realized my total monthly spend with Comcast is lot more without mobile service, I reached out to them. Initial few calls, they couldn’t offer any good options. Finally, a customer rep reached out to me with a plan which was a bit favorable. So signed up and agreed upon two invoices:
i. $65-70 for home+internet
ii. $15-20 mobile service
The total monthly for me would ~$90. (The range is because for some reason their system doesn’t calculate all the taxes and fees when estimating an invoice)
NOTE: My mobile plan is almost never used, which Comcast can easily validate. It’s only to avail the discount.
Since I signed up, they have been incorrectly charging, ~$93 + ~$16 = $109-110.
At the least, Comcast owes me:
i. Overcharges refund = ~$19*6months = $114
ii. Correcting my monthly charges henceforth.
Issue #2:
In the month of Oct/Nov’22, talked to a supervisor who agreed there’s a problem with the billing, and committed to sort it out by reviewing the voice recordings. Never reached back.
Now ***** tells me: sorry, we don’t save voice recordings for more than a month, so we cannot go back and review.
Question is, did that supervisor do his job when the recordings were all available? If he did, where’s the report?
Issue #3:
The chat with a Comcast rep (attached before), clearly showcases that the agent is in agreement with the problem and so tried to fix it. As you can see, yet again the agent agrees there’s a problem after long discussions, but no action on a resolution.
When the agent committed to resetting the pricing for home+internet and sending a refund check for the overcharges, was Comcast lying? Where is that check?
Issue#4
I have spent about 9-11hrs with customer reps. It’s been a drain! Need to be compensated.

On Tuesday, March 14, 2023, I spoke with Xfinity mobile to discuss adding a line. During the process I was informed that if I added the line, my bill would change such that all lines would be billed at $20/month each, for a total of $120/month for all 6 lines (5 existing, 1 additional). I confirmed this explicitly with the agent. I proceeded with the changes. After activating the new line and waiting a few days I reviewed my bill for the current cycle and it wasn't clear that it was matching what I had been told. I reached out to a chat agent this morning (March 21, 2023) and explained the situation. They explained that I had been provided misinformation and that the total bill would be significantly higher because each line is priced separately as the number of lines increases. I indicated this might be a problem and that I was concerned, however the agent did nothing more than apologize for the misinformation I had been given by the agent last week. This is particularly concerning because the order included a promotional offer that involved a 24 month commitment.
I made a financial decision based on the information the agent gave me during the ordering process. To later find out the information was incorrect is concerning. I understand mistakes happen, but I expect a business to to make it right when a mistake is discovered.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:Do you notice in the response there was no mention of the mistake they made? It was the same on the phone call. I received the call and she immediately began to explain how I might use their service differently. It was useful information, and I appreciate the info (and maybe they should consider training their agents to do the same). She was very polite, helpful, and informative, and I'm grateful for that much. However, there was no mention of their mistake that triggered this complaint.
Considering this, in effect, the business did nothing to address the complaint. Even if they had just admitted what happened, it would have at least been something in response to the complaint, but instead they chose to completely ignore it.

We had Comcast/Xfinity for our cable and internet. We chose to cancel due to the increase we were to receive and went with streaming. We called to cancel on 8:44am on 3/6/2023 and spoke with *******. We were informed that we need to return all of the Xfinity equipment which included the boxes and remotes. We were informed we can take it to **** I took 3 boxes and 4 remote to *** the next day. We then received a full bill of $209.58 on 3/12. We called Xfinity and spoke with ****** at 6:12pm on the same day. She informed us that the reason we were charged is because our "autopay" was not turned off on 3/6 and we would receive the full credit after it was processed. She said it was in the "pending" status. My wife checked our account on 3/19 and since we still did not receive any credit, she called Xfinity. We were told that we would only receive $87.80 since the new billing cycle started 2/20. So we were misinformed on 3/6 and 3/12 about everything about our account. Our reference number is *************. Thank you, **.Business Response

Dear Sir/Madam:
This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by *******************, an authorized user on the account, regarding ********************** service.
On March 20, 2023, I spoke with ********** regarding a billing explanation. Our records indicate the billing statement dated February 16, 2023, generated for services billed from February 20, 2023, through March 19, 2023.
A voluntary disconnection of the account was entered on March 6, 2023, with a completion date of March 12, 2023. On March 12, 2023, a payment was processed for the balance to the account due to enrollment in automatic payment. I verified the payment was authorized due to enrollment in automatic payment.
On March 12, 2023, the account holder contacted customer service and was advised the payment processed prior to the disconnection of the account being completed and the account was enrolled in automatic payment. The representative inadvertently misadvised the account holder the account would update within 24 hours and the refund would be received by March 17, 2023.
The account disconnected leaving a credit balance for services billed to March 7, 2023.The credit balance was reflected on the billing statement dated March 12, 2023. On March 23, 2023, a refund was submitted to refund the credit balance back to the credit card on file. On March 29, 2023, a courtesy credit was applied to the account. A request was submitted to refund the amount of the credit applied back to the credit card on file which will be received within 3-5 business days. The refund will be received by April 5, 2023. On March 29, 2023, an email was sent to ********** to advise him of the above information. I will follow up with ********** to ensure both refunds were received.
Please be advised the billing on this account was accurate at that time. I apologized for any inconvenience that may have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.
