      Mom July 8th we lost power due to the Hurricane which was fine and understandable considering we were without power for two days so like anyone no power no internet. But once power was up and running and everyone else started to hit the pavement and get service running for their customers ********************** literally said s**** their consumers. This isnt the first time this has happened it happened in May as well. We have all these companies out trying to get service out trying to get stuff work and Xfinity is doing nothing. Normally, they have a ETA posted and this around they just said as soon as possible so I called yesterday and got several different times of when to expect service and none of those times were accurate. I called today and got the same thing so at about 5 oclock I may contact and requested a refund for the amount of $48.06 and was told bluntly no. Excuse me and you arent trying to do anything. So I requested that Id have service canceled by next Tuesday. Due for o me switching service provider. No refund of but you say $25 credit for a service for next month and I just said I wont have service next month with you all.

      Case Number:21977135
      Date of Notice:July 12, 2024

      Dear Sir/Madam:

      This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by *************** regarding Xfinity service.

      Ms. *******s area was impacted by a powerful storm that resulted in the interruption of communications and utility services for thousands of customers. Ms. ******* was without electricity until July 10, 2024, when electricity was restored by the local utility company. Once electricity was restored, our technicians restored Xfinity service on July 14, 2024. 

      On July 11, 2024, a representative applied a credit for the loss of service. This credit reflected on the July 14, 2024 billing statement. An additional credit was applied to the account by a representative on July 16, 2024, for the loss of service and overall experience. This credit reflected on the July 16, 2024 billing statement.

      Regarding billing, Comcast received two payments on July 4, 2024, respectively. On July 14, 2024, both payments were charged back to Ms. *******s financial institute. The payments and returned payments reflected on July 14, 2024, billing statement.
       
      Unfortunately, on July 16, 2024, Ms. ******* voluntarily disconnected the account. Upon disconnection there is credit balance, which will be refunded to the last payment method on file within 10 business days. 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,


      ****************

      My power was restored on the 9th not the 10th. And again that doesnt explain why I had to wait five days for my service to be restored and thats after I made a complaint with the BBB about the customer service that I received. Just for someone to call me and tell me they can guarantee my service wont be restored that day, but itll be restored by the 16th of the month and they would call me back and I still didnt receive a call back

       Complaint: 21977135

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I have been trying to get Comcast/Xfinity out to my mother's property (Comcast customer *********************) for over a week now - a dead tree fell next door during a storm and brought down all lines. The electric company was out promptly to restore power and re-hang their wires within 12 hours of the storm. After reporting the downed cable wires, I was told that Comcast would be sending a technician on the evening of 7/3/24 (nothing happened), then 7/5/24 at 10am (nothing happened), and 7/8/24 (nothing happened). Each time I am told that my tickets have been closed - how can this be when no crew has come out to address the downed wires?? This is incredibly frustrating and is also a safety risk. There are wires on the ground in back of 1406 ****** and wires in the bushes at 1408 ******. We need someone out to address this issue ASAP. I'm including the latest service tracking number (the 3rd or 4th one I've been given) below. #ECM0008415346

      Dear Sir/Madam:

      This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by *************************** regarding Xfinity Mobile service.

      I have attempted to contact **************** several times via telephone and email however, my attempts have been unsuccessful.

      Comcast records have found that **************** has two accounts with **********************, one active and one inactive. The first account (account 1) was initiated on July 7, 2024, when Ms.Tuner placed an order for a ******* Galaxy A54 5G (IMEI: ***************) on a 1GB shared data plan.

      At the time customers could qualify to recieve the ******* A54 On Us given they satisfied certain requirements. Customers were required to activate a new line of service,transfer a number from another provider and purchase the device on a ******** device payment plan. **************** did not qualify for this promotion as she did not transfer a number from another provider.

      The device was delivered and activated on July 10, 2024. The second account (account 2) was initiated on July 10, 2024, when **************** placed another order for another ******* Galaxy A54 5G on a 1GB shared data plan. At the time customers could qualify to recieve the ******* A54 On Us given they satisfied certain requirements.Customers were required to activate a new line of service, transfer a number from another provider and purchase the device on a ******** device payment plan.**************** did qualify as she transferred a number from another provider.

      The device was delivered on July 13, 2024. On account 1 ********************** had not received any bill payments.August 10, 2023, September 10, 2023, and October 10, 2023, bills went unpaid causing the account to become past due. On October 20, 2023, account 1 was voluntarily disconnected and the remaining device balance was accelerated to the bill. On November 2, 2023, Xfinity Mobile received a payment clearing the account balance.

      On November 2, 2023, *************** placed an order on account 2 for a ******* Galaxy A54 device ********************** to be activated on a 1GB shared data plan. On November 10,2023, (account 1) **************** received a bill and on November 13, 2024, the previous payment was returned to ****************. On March 18, 2024, account 1 was written off to an outside collection agency. This balance is accurate as there was usage found on account 1 and the ******* Galaxy device ******************************* on account 1 is now being used on account 2. All charges are valid.

      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 **************************

      I had to move to another location and elected to transfer service to my new address. Once in the new address it took multiple attempts to get my service hooked up and i was without internet for more than a week. Ive had internet service for about a month at the new address, but has since been interrupted for the past two days. I was paying on an installment plan at my previous address for my internet service. When I moved I was not made aware that it would cancel the installment plan, which resulted in a high balance of $1177 being placed on the new account. I called multiple times to discuss making another payment arrangement before my service was interrupted to prevent it from being interrupted. I was told multiple times that i could not have an arrangement, and they didnt give me any solutions to making a smaller payment to keep my service active. Once the service was interrupted, I have spoken to now 7 different representatives, which 3 have told me it was an error on the companies behalf. Im being told that I will not have internet service unless i make a huge payment of the past due balance that includes all payments that were originally in an installment plan. Had I known that a simple move would cause this, i would have shopped around for more internet access beforehand. Its very unfair that my installment plan was not moved with me, and now Im not being offered any other options to make any changes to my account.

      Dear Sir or Madam:

      This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by *************************** regarding Xfinity service.

      I made several attempts to contact **************** via telephone and email. Although I was unable to reach ****************, a review was completed on the account. Our records indicate that on March 11, 2024, under the previous account (ending in 5252) **************** agreed to a 12-month Xfinity Assistance Repayment Plan for the past due balance for services billed from January 13, 2024, through April 12, 2024 to be paid over 12 monthly installments added to the regular billing statements. On March 11, 2024, **************** made a one-time payment to qualify for enrollment in the repayment plan. On March 12,2024, the past due balance was removed and reapplied on the installment plan, allowing for the first installment to be applied on March 12, 2024. These transactions were reflected on the April 9, 2024 billing statement. No further additional payments were received after March 11, 2024.

      Effective May 28, 2024, **************** transferred services to the new account (number ending in 2962) and the previous account (number ending in 5252) was disconnected. An existing Xfinity Repayment Plan cannot be transferred to a new account and on May 30, 2024, the remaining 10 repayment installments were applied to the previous account (ending in 5252) as a lump sum. On May 28, 2024, a credit prorate was applied to the previous account for services billed from May 27, 2024, through June 12,2024. On May 30, 2024, the balance due for services billed from April 13, 2024,through May 26, 2024 and the installment balance were transferred to the new account (ending in 2962) and were reflected as a lump sum on May 31, 2024. The balance transfer was reflected on the June 1, 2024 billing statement.

      **************** failed to make a payment and a past due balance was shown on the June 24, 2024 billing statement, which included new charges for services billed from June 28, 2024, through July 27, 2024. On July 10, 2024, the account was placed in a soft disconnection due to the past due balance. On July 10, 2024, **************** scheduled a payment for the past due balance using Xfinity My Account web to be paid on July 15, 2024. On July 15,2024, the payment failed to process due to the card being declined. The account is not eligible for further arrangements due to the previous arrangement not being honored and the account has not been at a zero balance for the life of the account. Payment of the past due balance is necessary to restore services. Should the past due balance not be received by August 9, 2024, the account will be disconnected for nonpayment. After an account is disconnected for nonpayment,the full balance due is needed to restart services. I apologize for any inconvenience that *** have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.

      I trust 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 **************.

      I signed up my uncle and I with Xfinity Mobile. The promotion was 2 phones for free as long as you pay for the service each month. They charged me an extra $18.75 a month for my device. I started service in January 2024 of this year. I have been overcharged each month and it is difficult to get anyone to pick up in customer service and I have talked to multiple agents with at least 2 hours each time over the phone for them to agree they messed up and had to credit my account. I was promised that this issue was resolved and I would only be charged for the service. That never happened and I got sick of calling every month ans waiting hours to get a credit back they owe me. I went to xfinity store in ****************** and told them they didn't and won't hold up their end of the contract and which they tell me they can't even provide me a copy of!! They ported our numbers out and we switched to Tmobile. To this day they are still autodrafting my card each month. I've tried to change cards but they find the new one. Their telling us we owe full value on the phones $756 and won't take the phones back. They have created tickets about this matter to get resolved and ***** will follow up with me! They breached contract and let me out of it but like I said won't provide the contract we agreed on which my bank needs to verify and credit me back my money they took. Please help!!

      Dear Sir/Madam:

      This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau, by ***********************, regarding Xfinity service.

      On January 11, 2024, ************ purchased two ******* Galaxy A54 devices, each under a ******** device payment plan. At the time of purchase, Xfinity Mobile offered a promotion through which eligible customers could qualify to receive monthly device payment credits for 24 months, provided they satisfied certain requirements. To qualify for the promotion, customers were required to add a new line of service with a device payment plan and port an existing phone number from another carrier within 30 days of purchase. If a customer transfers their line to another service provider, the promotion is forfeited, and the customer is responsible for any remaining monthly device payments.

      ************ satisfied the promotional requirements and successfully received the device credits for both devices until March 2024. A system error caused the promotion to stop reflecting for one of Mr. ***** two devices. On May 7, 2024, ************ was issued a credit equal to the value of the monthly promotion. He was also issued a courtesy credit. On May 20, 2024, ************ was issued another credit to equal to the value of the promotion for the next monthly bill.

      On June 6, 2024, ************ ported out his two lines, which resulted in the loss of both promotions. As a result, Xfinity Mobile began charging him monthly device payments for both devices.

      On July 15, 2024, I spoke with ************ and explained this information. I offered to permit ************ to return the devices outside of ****************************** return window. I sent *********** a return label. On July 22, 2024, the devices were successfully received into the warehouse. On July 23, 2024, the device balances were accelerated, and I placed a credit on the account to remove the outstanding device payment balances. I placed a second credit on the account to accommodate a payment,made by ************ that was subsequently reversed by his financial institution. The account is successfully closed. I notified ************ via email of the adjustments made to the account.

      Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at ********************************.

      It's been 3 days without Internet and Xfinity isn't keeping us updated. We can get in touch with customers service until they fix the problem. This was a scheduled maintenance that we had no knowledge of. As a customer since *************************** has been having major problems with giving standards service. I missed online work and was only given $30 as an inconvenience. I'm ready to leave this company because they don't care about our service and time. All we are good for is money that is just wrong. I would like a refund for all the days I missed work and my Xfinity service.

      Dear Sir/Madam:

      This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ********************* regarding her Xfinity service.

      On July 16, 2024, a technician visited ************** and determined her intermittent service issue was caused by a wiring configuration to an amplifier and an outlet.

      On July 17, 2024, I spoke with ************** who confirmed services are working as designed. During our call ************** was provided with a service adjustment from June 18, 2024, through July 17, 2024. The credit adjustment will be reflected on the August 13, 2024, billing statement. 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 of this matter. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at **************.

      This dispute concerns a collection notice for a early termination fee that is in extremely bad faith. In November of 2023 I cancelled my service with Comcast due to faulty business practices such as, very intermittent internet service, poor customer service and problem resolution and predatory renewal tactics. At the time of the cancellation, I negotiated with the customer service rep that my cancellation fee would be waived. My renewal would be in February 2024. I received a bill so I contacted them again and I was referred to a supervisor who stated he would investigate it and call me back. I never received a call back. When I received an additional bill, I call and spoke with a very rude woman who would not escalate my call and she told me that the debt would go to collections. Due to this I want to report them because they do not offer what they say they do, and they try to overcharge you. I would also like this debt clear because of this asinine charge. Thank you very much.

      Case Number:                      21975233
      Date of Notice:             July 11, 2024

      Dear Sir/Madam:

      This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by *********************** regarding Xfinity service.

      I made several attempts to contact **************** via telephone and email. **************** did respond via email. However, she failed to authenticate the account information. Although I was unable to reach ****************, a review was completed on the account. Our records indicate on March 25, 2023, **************** consented via text message (SMS)to a 12-month contractual agreement for Gigabit Internet, at a promotional rate. The contractual agreement was effective March 25, 2023, through March 25,2024.

      We complied with a request made by **************** to end the 12-month agreement on November 25, 2023. As a result, the early termination fee applied to the account on November 27, 2023 is valid. On November 27, 2023, a payment was received for the balance due for services rendered leaving the early termination fee outstanding. The early termination fee and payment were reflected on the December 26, 2023 billing statement. On January 27, 2024, the remaining balance was charged off to third party collections.

      Our records do not support that **************** was advised during the request to disconnect services on November 25, 2023, that the early termination fee would be waived. A review of the account does not support a history of ongoing unresolved service concerns prior to disconnection. On January 3, 2024, *************** contacted Xfinity via chat regarding the final balance during which *************** advised that she was promised that the early termination fee would be waived. On January 3, 2024, a credit request ticket was submitted but a credit was not applied to the account due to the request being invalid due to a lack of supporting records.

      On July 22, 2024, I applied a courtesy credit to waive the early termination fee.Since the account is disconnected an updated billing statement will not be issued. The account will be removed from the collection department within 24 to 48 hours once the account is reconciled. I apologize 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 **************.

      I have had so many issues with this company since I paid for their services the first year. I am 60 years old working check to check and I qualified for the internet reduced price in which in a year they applied the 30 maybe 4 times, my services disconnected problem fixed for a moment them all of the same. I am being charged 70 plus dollars for basic antenna channels that I had before paying Comcast. When I complained I was told because I am in the state-reduced program I don't qualify to have any other channels. I was spending the same amount with SEVERAL channels including LMN BET ID and several others on the same program through the government are you kidding me Comcast? BBB please help they take advantage of the people and of the community they serve. I was denied the benefits of the government program I had to call every other month for them to apply for the credit. Then and forth it all ended with Comcast being at fault and taking no responsibility. I have no idea what my bill is I am afraid they don't care about the people who keep them in business to them I am a means to an end. The next complaint will be with the Attorney General's Offices in the State of **. They need to know what's happening if they already do not. The last complaint I made with the BBB A Comcast Rep called me once and left a message I returned the call she called back and left a message I still have stating I called twice and left a message with an attitude. I called her and left a message and have not heard from her since this was at least 5-6 months ago and here we are again.

      Dear Sir/Madam:

      This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to your office by ***************************.

      The federal government?recently announced that ***** 2024 will be the last month it will fully fund the Affordable Connectivity Program (***).[1] 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.[2] 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.**********ly, 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 September 29 and November 6, 2023, an alert was received from the federal government advising **************** *** application was not found.

      On January 30 and February 1,2024, ************** applied and was approved to enroll in *** with Xfinity,respectively.  Comcast records show that *** credits were applied on February 2, March 7, and ***** 7, 2024. Records also show that the final partial *** credit was applied on May 7, 2024.

      Currently, ************** subscribes to Xfinity ********* and Connect More Internet services at everyday retail pricing. **************** package was effective on October 1, 2022, ********** services, equipment charges, taxes and fees are not included in the pricing.

      **********ly, our records show the last payment was received on March 23, 2024, which reduce the account balance to. On ***** 9, 2024, a new billing statement generated for service dates of ***** 14, 2024, through May 13, 2024, which generated a new balance;however, a past due balance remained.

      On May 6, 2024, ************** 's services were downgraded under the Xfinity assistance plan (XAP) to prevent the account from being disconnected due to non-payment.  Xfinity Internet service on the plan is 100/10 Mbps speed, however, TV services are suspended. On June 9, 2024, a new billing statement generated for service dates of June 14, 2024 through July 13,2024 which generated a charge and a late fee that increased the balance. On July 9, 2024, a new billing statement generated for service dates of July 14,2024, through August 13, 2024, which generated a charge and a late fee that increased the balance on the account. As of July 12, 2024, the past due balance will need to be paid to restore services to normal service levels.

      On July, 12, 17, and 19,2024, I made several attempts to contact ************** via phone and email to advise her of the above information and to discuss her concerns. Unfortunately,all my attempts to contact ************** were unsuccessful.

      Please contact me directly should you have any additional questions or concerns.
