Case Number:17630314
Date of Notice: July 27, 2022
Dear Sir/Madam:
This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by *************************** regarding Xfinity service.
Alleged victims of identity theft must submit a fraud packet to Comcasts fraud team. Once the properly completed packet is received, Comcasts fraud team investigates the claim and then contacts the victim regarding the outcome. If the team determines that identity theft did occur, the offenders location will have serviceability blocked as an added measure of security. After processing the validated ID theft claim, ******************** will flag the account as fraudulent and notify the collection agency assigned (if applicable) to stop collection activity. If the collection agency reported the debt to any credit bureaus, the collection agency will update the credit bureaus accordingly to have the debt removed from the customers credit file. Per federal guidelines, credit agencies have up to 90 days to remove the reporting from a credit file.
An incomplete fraud packet was submitted. In order to process this claim, **************** will need to provide the following documentation:
Identity Theft Victims Complaint and Affidavit Form, completed.
Proof of residency during the time the Comcast services were under your name. You can submit lease agreements, utility bills, or mortgage statement with your name.
A copy of your valid government-issued photo identification card. You can submit a copy of your drivers license, state-issued ID card or your passport.
On July 28, 2022, a Comcast ***************** Assurance technician contacted **************** to advise her of the aforementioned information and address any other concerns.
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 us at **************.

Case Number:17630017
Date of Notice:July 27, 2022
Dear Sir/Madam:
This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ************************* regarding Xfinity service.
On July 28, 2022, I spoke with **************** regarding a billing concern. Our records indicate on June 6, 2022, **************** accepted a 24-month promotional agreement for the Ultimate Quad Play. The services included *********** Video, Superfast Internet, Xfinity Voice Unlimited Select and Xfinity Home Pro Protection. The promotional rate was effective June 18, 2022 through July 7, ****. The account also received a monthly self-service discount with enrollment in both automatic payments and paperless billing. At the conclusion of the promotion standard retail rates would have applied. The promotional rate did not include additional services, equipment, taxes, or fees which were subject to change.
While the agreement for the above referenced promotion was not accepted, email confirmation outlining the new service package was sent to the primary email address on file. As Comcast bills in advance, the billing statement dated June 28, 2022 reflected prorated credits for the removal of the previous package, and prorated charges for the new service package.
On July 28, 2022, **************** requested to downgrade the account by removing the Xfinity Voice and Xfinity ************* services. **************** accepted a 24-month promotional rate for the Ultimate Double Play. The services include *********** Video and Superfast Internet. The promotion was backdated and is effective June 21, 2022 through July 7, ****. The promotion includes a 12-month contractual agreement effective July 28, 2022 through July 28, 2023.
The account also receives a monthly self-service discount with enrollment in both automatic payments and paperless billing. An additional monthly discount was also applied to the account as a courtesy and will expire on June 20, 2023. The promotional rate does not include additional services, equipment, taxes, or fees which are subject to change. At the conclusion of the promotions standard retail rates will apply.
On July 28, 2022, I transferred **************** to our *************************** (CSA) team due to her being unable to access her account online. Per CSA, the password was incorrect which prevented **************** from accessing her online account. CSA was able to walk **************** through the password recovery process.
In addition, with the removal of the Xfinity ************* service, **************** was charged for the installation and equipment. Our records indicate on July 28, 2022, **************** returned the Xfinity Home equipment to the local Xfinity retail store.
On August 2, 2022, I applied four credits to the account to cover the charges for the Xfinity Home installation and equipment. This reflected on the August 3, 2022 billing statement. On August 9, 2022, I applied a courtesy credit to the account. The credit will reflect on the September 3, 2022 billing statement.
Please be advised the billing on this account is accurate. 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 **************.

Dear Sir/Madam:
This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ***************************, regarding Xfinity service.
On July 26, 2022, I spoke with ******************, regarding a refund request. Our records indicate that no fraud was done by Comcast as our customer visited the store to make a payment utilizing the kiosk we have on site. On August 1, 2022, we also corresponded with our customer via e-mail as well.
In speaking with ******************, on July 26, 2022, she indicated to us that she made a total of three payments on July 22, 2022, but two of those she states she cancelled. Comcast returned one payment back to the credit card on file on July 24, 2022. There was a current balance owed that was past due and the other two payments were applied to that outstanding balance for services already rendered. Customer was made aware of this when speaking with her. ******************, requested to have the second payment returned to the credit card she utilized, and again she was advised that the account was past due and the other two payments made were applied to that balance.
Our records support that on August 8, 2022, the second payment made was returned as a chargeback and applied to the credit card utilized. Comcast did not charge any credit cards without customer consent. 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 **************.

I was a new customer to ********************** and went online to their website to switch to their mobile phone service for 2 phones (my wife and I). I picked the 'Bring Your Own Phone' Plan and filled out all applicable details about the phones including providing the **** numbers of the phones. Xfinity Mobile's online ordering system told me both phones were compatible. Bringing my own phones was free which is why I decided to do it. Xfinity Mobile sent me 2 new sim cards for the phones and I ported my old numbers over to Xfinity Mobile. After switching to Xfinity mobile the service didn't work. I spent hours on the phone with them and they tried many things to get it to work but it didn't. They then told me the sim cards must be damaged and sent me 2 new ones, those didn't work either. I then gave up on trying to do this over the phone and I went into an Xfinity Mobile store (store was great, no complaints against them, only to Xfinity Mobile online). Within ********************************************* my phones weren't compatible. At this point my wife and I had not had working phones for weeks so I was between a rock and a hard place and was forced to buy phones -- which I seek refund for. Long story short. I paid $911.58 for 2 new phones ($455.79 each) on Jun 22nd. I want Xfinity Mobile to send me a check for the cost of both phones since they were dishonest and unethical on their website saying my phones were compatible when they weren't. I would never have switched to Xfinity Mobile if I knew I would have to buy phones. I sadly feel I need to report this (first time reporting to the BBB) because I can't get anyone on their end to call me back or follow up after many hours on the phone getting passed around from agent to agent. On Friday Jun 22nd, I was on the phone for 2 hours getting passed around to 6 agents who all agreed this is messed up, but no one can solve. Sadly, I feel this is my last resort reporting this. Please help.Business Response

Dear Sir/Madam:
This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by *************************** regarding Xfinity Mobile service.
I spoke with ******************** on July 28, 2022, regarding Xfinity Mobile. Our records indicate ******************** began Xfinity Mobile service through an order on the Xfinity Mobile website on June 8, 2022, for two lines of service with 10GB of shared data and two Bring Your Own Devices. ******************** reported he was able to make and receive calls and send text messages. However, he was unable to connect to the cellular data network and was assisted by our Xfinity Mobile care team with troubleshooting on the devices. ******************** chose to purchase new devices on June 22, 2022.
Xfinity Mobiles Customer agreement accepted at time of original purchase states: You may cancel a line, or multiple lines, of your service in accordance with this Agreement and our policies, which may be amended from time to time, or any specific terms associated with your Service plan. In addition, the Xfinity Mobile Website states: There is no term contract required when you sign up for Xfinity Mobile service. You can cancel service anytime without paying an early termination fee. Different carriers and manufacturers use different network technology. As a result, not all devices are made for all networks. When a device is made for use on one carrier, it may not work with the technology used on another.
As courtesy credits were placed on the Xfinity Mobile account reflecting on the July 16, 2022, billing statement. Requests for additional compensation are, respectfully, denied. I apologized for any inconvenience this may have 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 ********************************.

Complaint: 17630014
I am rejecting this response because:Xfinity Mobile is lying to and deceiving customers like me by claiming phones are compatible on their website when they arent. Xfinity Mobile is arguing that because I could receive calls and texts my phones were compatible even though they acknowledge that the cellular data wouldnt work. If you ask any customer or human in America if they think a phone not having cellular data is acceptable, I doubt anyone would agree. I am extremely disappointed in Xfinity Mobiles response. How many other customers has this happened to and how many will it continue to happen to before Xfinity Mobile is held accountable?
I never would have switched to Xfinity Mobile had I known my phones would not work. Since their website stated my phones would work I think they should be held accountable and reimburse me for the phones I had to purchase.

On February 2022, I received a bill for an outrageous amount of 500$ for using my phone in Mexico, when I had a travel pass where I was only suppose to be charged by Xfinity 5$ a day. I was told by having this travel pass the 500$ would be waived. On my next billing cycle I saw that Xfinity never waived the 500$, so I made another call and I was transfered back and forth to different Xfinity representatives. I was under the impression that the 500$ would be waived for good this time. The next thing I did was to cancel my line after having all this issues with Xfinty mobile. Then, I find out through my Xfinty mobile app my line got suspended. I then, called and asked why they just suspended my line after I had canceled it my self. They apologized for the miscommunication. On May 16 2022 is when my line got suspended. When I took a look at why my line got suspended after I had canceled it, it stated because of the 500$ that they never waived. I called back and they said they would not continue charging me after the line had been suspended. Its been almost 3 months later and they have continued to charge me up until this day. The last bill I received was on July 26, 2022 and the bill keeps going up. Now, it states that I owe 719.83$ when I haven't used this line and it has also been suspended.

As a courtesy, on August 2, 2022, a credit was applied to the account to waive the charges incurred on the March and April billing statements. Both credits applied toward the current past due amount.
