April 12 I decide to switch our mobile plan from Straight Talk to Xfinity Mobile after a great deal was offered to me by an agent on their chat feature. Everything seemed to be going fine until after the setup when our phone service was supposed to switch over and it didn't. I made several phone calls throughout the month after multiple agents failed to set our service up. Meanwhile we had to pay our bill for Straight Talk until we were able to drive 40+ miles to the Xfinity store to finally set our service up properly. Our bill is supposed to be $26/month TOTAL for 10 months and then it goes up to 46 for 2 months and then finally to the permanent price of 66. Our first bill came up to $159.14 because they charged us for 4 lines instead of 2, didn't apply the **** deal, and then 4 $25 setup charges. I talked to two more agents and the woman from the Xfinity Store to be credited after they promised it would sort itself out and it didn't. Our final bill was charged ***** June 9 because an agent agreed to drop the setup fees for the inconvenience. Our second bill was charged July 9 *****. I emailed the Xfinity Store again and two days later I was credited $20 but she didn't even respond so I don't know if it was her or the credit from the **** deal. I can't get ahold of Xfinity through their chat service because it's broken and it's a disaster trying to reach anybody on the phone because they keep promising it will sort itself out and every single time, it does not! Many people are having the same issue with this **** deal and I feel like they have baited us into switching providers and now they refuse to help us sort out this issue. There is no way to "escalate" an issue to a higher up, there is no way to call a specific agent, there is extremely little that the consumer can do. I can't even download my Statement to get an account #! At minimum, their websites and apps should be functional for their paying customers. I have a full transcript of the conversation.Business Response

Dear Sir/Madam:
This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by *********************.
On April 29, 2024, ********************* initiated service for two customer-owned devices. At that time, ********************** offered a promotion through which new Xfinity Mobile customers with ********************************************************************* or higher) who have had internet for more than 90 days could qualify to receive the unlimited data plan for free for twelve months on a second Xfinity Mobile line when they purchased the unlimited data plan on their first Xfinity Mobile line. Customers already receiving certain other ********************** promotions are not eligible to receive this promotion.
********************* satisfied the promotional requirements, but the promotion did not reflect on the account. On July 17, 2024, a credit, equal to the value of the promotion, was applied to the account in lieu of the promotion.
********************* initially placed her order for Xfinity Mobile service for these two lines on April 12, 2024. There was a delay activating the lines. On May 30, 2024, credits were placed on the account for service and activation fees related to the April 12, 2024, order.

The cable and internet went out early in the day. The minor storm ended several hours ago. We were told that it would be restored by 3:40 pm. As of 8:15 pm it has not been restored and no one will answer our attempts to contact them. This is typical of Xfinity, as they will probably attempt to leave customers without service the entire weekend again and blame staffing issues.Business Response

During COVID in 2021, I was terminated from my job & also my dad died from COVID. I reached out to Xfinity for assistance or to be able to change or lower my plan. I was denied for ANY options. But when I was approved for *************************** my case workers informed me about the ********************************************** (a low cost internet plan for low income households). I contacted Xfinity & was FINALLY told I could get the discount but they still couldnt unbundle my package. I wasnt in a contract, as I have been a Comcast/Xfinity customer since 1996! I was still forced to pay over $300-400 per month! I have borrowed money from family members and friends to keep my **************************** on, especially having a son in school! My Wifi in my home has had connection issues FOR YEARS! Several ******************* have come out to check the outside wiring & even advised me to buy some wifi extenders (for better service). It really didnt help. I was told to get a 2nd modem for some of the devices, or when my son plays his video game. EXTRA money, that didnt help! I have called customer service, so many timesI give up! Because I am transferred to 4-6 different peopleALL of who cant speak clear English. *** tried to use their chat for assistance on my bill. & Was told to pay $50, then I was sent an invalid link to set up a payment arrangement. My cable, phone, & 2nd modem have been disconnected FOR MONTHS! However, they still say I owe almost $3,000?!?! I have asked them to provide a report of the data used on each piece of equipment because I do not think it is legal or ethical to require me to pay for services I did not use (& their records show they have been disconnected). To date, they have not provided this information.I received an email saying my internet is $29 per month. Last week, I paid over $50 on my bill. Today, my internet was disconnected. I called customer service & was told I to pay $1,700 to reconnect it.Business Response

Dear Sir or Madam:
This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to your office by ***********************.
*************************** subscribes to Internet Essentials ************ at the monthly rate.[1]
The federal government?recently announced that ***** 2024 will be the last month it will fully fund the Affordable Connectivity Program (***).[2] Although ***** is the last fully funded month for **** partial funding has been made available for participants in May 2024.Xfinity is pleased to provide customers that are already in enrolled in *** with Xfinity as of May 1, 2024 with a partial credit of up to $14 (up to $35 in Tribal lands) towards their ***-eligible service for the last month of the program.[3] In June, *** enrolled customers will see the benefit removed from their account, and they will be responsible for the full cost of their Xfinity Internet and/or Xfinity Mobile services. Comcast continues to offer Internet Essentials and Internet Essentials ************ to ***-eligible customers, which includes all equipment and download speeds of up to 50 Mbps for $9.95/month or download speeds up to 100 Mbps for $29.95/month.Additionally, Comcast has special offers on other Internet plans with even faster speeds and will work with customers to find the right package at the right price.
On June 29 and 30, 2022, **************** applied and was approved, respectively, to enroll in *** with Xfinity.On July 1, 2022, an *** credit was applied to ***************************** account, which credit reflected on her July 1, 2022, billing statement.
On July 17, 2024, I spoke with **************** to advise her of the above information and discuss her concerns. In addition, I advised **************** of her account balance that will *** result in her service being completely interrupted for non-payment on August 11, 2024, if payment the past due balance is not received. I also advised **************** that I would review this matter; however,based on the balance and the fact that the account is 315 days delinquent, I would be unable to restore service without payment. Unfortunately, **************** is not eligible for a payment arrangement or repayment plan at this time.
On July 24, 2024, I spoke with **************** and advised that I cannot warrant any adjustments to the account. **************** was billed for the Gigabit Extra add-on (second modem service) from August 1, 2022, to March 1,2024. There are two Comcast modems on the account. Because the account is in a pending disconnection with a delinquent balance, which must be paid prior to services being reactivated, we cannot schedule a technician to go out to the home to investigate any claims of intermittent service.
On July 24, 2024, a Comcast Executive Customer Relations representative spoke with **************** to advise her of the above information and apologized for any inconvenience she *** have experienced.The representative provided her direct contact information so that **************** can contact her with further questions or concerns.
Please contact me directly should you have any additional questions or concerns.

Last July, I renewed my contract then I was having major issues with my Internet when I work from home, so I called in for help due to the fact originally when I got installed, they wouldnt install the router where it should be. I was told by an agent they would give me pod or the local team would install the Internet correctly only if I upgraded to the newer service with the newer router, I work from home I was desperate so I agree after confirming I would be guaranteed a repair well that did not happen. The team that handles the pods told me they dont send them out because the local team wont do what they need to do and theyre required to do it so they send a guy out to do the repair, I already turned them away so he sat there and told me I needed to sign this paper because no matter what I am being charged for that visit and I was going to be charged like $500 so I refuse were gonna charge you $100 fee just to come out thats my boss so at this point in time I already had an account executive from the executive team and I reached out to my executive who made sure that that got reversed. She also assured me one way or another. This was going to get fixed. She tried speaking with the local office. They werent backing down so she was trying to work with the team that handled the pods. In the meantime, I had another issue. I called and got a hold of a retention specialist cause I couldnt reach my rep because she was out and he was able to get the pod sent out for free my account executive had also said she had fixed the contract information by rolling it back getting me my original deal and it would be good until 7/2024. In March, I found out that was a lie and that promotion disappeared 4 months early. I have been hung up on multiple times trying to get it fixed then I was promised a $60 followed by a $40 credit 24 hours later and if I bump my speed down, I wouldnt lose anything but would get the price for one more year And not lose anything another lieBusiness Response

Hello, this is a follow up complaint from a previous billing issue with Xfinity (Comcast). They contacted me about the previous complaint and assured me that I would be credited for the unauthorized payment made from my account. I just received an update from Citibank (my credit card provider) and they told me my dispute for the overpayment was reversed and I would have to pay $177.27. I closed the last complaint and would like to reopen it or start a new one. Thank you.Business Response

This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by *************************** regarding Xfinity Mobile service.
On July 16, 2024, I spoke with ****************** regarding his Xfinity Mobile concern. Our records confirm that on January 20, 2024, ****************** purchased an ******** ************ split across 24 installments, with the 1 GB By the ******** plan.The device was delivered on January 27, 2024, and activated on January 29,2024. By default, all Xfinity Mobile accounts are set to automatic payment.This means we will automatically charge the card on file every month for the full amount owed on the bill. The automatic payment date is always 20 days after the billing cycle closes.
On January 30, 2024, a return was initiated for the device. The device was received by our warehouse on February 1, 2024, and determined to be B-Stock.Due to an oversight, the device balance was not cleared, and the line of service was not ceased upon receipt. The line was ceased on February 19, 2024.As a result, on March 15, 2024, payment was drafted for the device balance and unrendered services. This payment was charged back to the account on March *******, when a dispute was filed with MasterCard. Automatic payment automatically drafted the balance again on June 13, 2024. This second payment was charged back to the account again on June 20, 2024, when another dispute was filed.
On June 25, 2024, a credit was applied to the account to clear the account balance.Subsequently, on July 7, 2024, the chargeback that occurred on June 20, 2024,was denied by Mr. ******** financial institution and applied back to his account. On July 15, 2024, a refund was issued back to the card on file, in the amount of the chargeback. As long as additional chargebacks are not received by Mr. ******** financial institution, the account will remain at zero.

Today I received an email from Comcast Xfinity regarding my mobile phone bill:Your Jun 12 - Jul 11 billing cycle has ended.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.However, even though the representative was very kind and professional in his explanation, I am not happy that this company feels they can change the rate I am paying without warning. I am 72-years old and on a fixed income. This increase may seem inconsequential to them, but to me it is just one more thing that takes away my ability to buy healthy groceries and put gas in my car for my multiple ongoing doctor visits.
I realize there is nothing more I can do, and I will start the process of finding another cell phone provider in order to avoid these unwanted increases in the future.

Dear Sir/Madam:
This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by *******************************.
On July 15, 2024, I spoke with ******************** regarding a billing concern. Our records indicate on November 18, 2021, ******************** enrolled in ******* streaming service to be billed through her Xfinity account using her X1 ** Box, which included a 3-month introductory offer at no charge.
Our records indicate that ******************** is no longer enrolled in ******* through her Xfinity account and the ******* service ended on July 17, 2024. ******************** was made aware that ******* is a third-party service and can only be added to the account by the customer, using self-service through the ** Box or Flex Box, or online. The charges for ******* are valid.
The current balance, as of July 13, 2024, includes Internet Essentials Plus charges from May 8, 2024, through August 7, 2024, and the remainder of the charges are from the ******* subscription. On July 15, 2024, as a courtesy, a credit was applied to offset the outstanding balance on the account. The credit will reflect on August 4, 2024, billing statement. ******************** was made aware the remaining charges for Internet Essentials Plus are valid. I apologized for any inconvenience that *** have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.
I trust that this ****** 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 **************.
Sincerely,
Gay R.

Attached PDF for a documents a detailed chain of events that started on June 12, 2024, with a live chat agent who, over the course of multiple hours, fraudulently obtained my personal information, financial information, and gave misleading information regarding pricing and other sales terms while also misinforming me about contractual terms committed to by Xfinity. After numerous additional hours in placing follow up calls and being promised that my account was rectified, that fraud and misinformation were being escalated and investigated, I still received contacts and bills for services from Xfinity that I never authorized (e.g. Xfinity Mobile). Finally, after terminating my relationship with Xfinity/Comcast on July 12, 2024, and paying all balances owed in full, I received an additional bill from Xfinity Mobile for services never contractually authorized, purchased, nor provided. My personal credit card and other information was obtained fraudulently by Xfinity, and in lieu of cancelling my credit card, this complaint is being raised with Better Business Bureau to secure permanent deletion of my credit card along with all other personal information stored by ********************************************** And once this process is complete, this is a demand to cease all further contact.Customer Answer

Enclosing additional correspondence with ******************** at Xfinity Mobile and ******************* at Comcast.
It appears our issue has still not been resolved, as we received an additional bill from Xfinity Mobile in error, as our accounts were zeroed out on July 12, 2024.

Enclosing a PDF containing additional correspondence with ******** at Xfinity Mobile.
Noting that ******** called and was able to address some elements of the case - she also advised to leave the complaint open until the Security/Fraud team have had the opportunity for further review - pending their call.
Additionally, **** from Comcast Xfinity Home Internet team called and advised of a ~$250 refund that will be issued in the next ***** business days due to our overpayment when cancelling service.
Will continue to post updates pending further process.
Sincerely appreciate your being a catalyst for this.
Many Thanks,

Greetings Better Business Bureau Team:
Writing to share that Comcast Team has resolved my open concerns, and I hereby wish to formally close this complaint.
In addition to the helpful actions taken by ******** (in deleting credit card info, zeroing out Xfinity Mobile fraudulent/erroneous charges, and closing account), and **** (in providing a $253.22 refund for overpayment on Xfinity Home Internet), the following individuals have been in contact with additional remedial actions including:
Rasheed from Comcast Security team who advised that no external fraud had occurred (e.g. fraud case was, in fact, limited to being internal to Xfinity/Comcast), and that investigations and remedial actions were being pursued with the live chat agent in question - nature and contents were confidential and unable to be further disclosed - case number IH-257-731-038;
****, and later ******, from Comcast Privacy *** - who both confirmed account personal information (e.g. credit card) had been deleted and also confirmed my opt out from future sales and marketing communications - referencing case number ESL04877261.
Your assistance in escalating this case with Comcast has been much appreciated - thank you.
Any additional questions or actions required from my end, feel free to call ****************) or email ******************** at your convenience.
Sincerely,

In addition to the response made here by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, the business confirmed satisfactory investigation of the fraudulent activity that led to the opening of the aforementioned accounts in addition to the resultant fraudulent charges that had been posted to the same, and as a result I find that their remedial actions are satisfactory in addressing our fundamental complaint, addressing the multiple aspects of fraud, and affording adequate opportunity to exercise data privacy rights with our personal information.
