Charged for modem rental

Hello,

Hoping somebody has a solution. 

I moved out of an apartment that had xfinity communities. Each unit had it's own modem that was pre-installed with the unit. 

I moved out of the apartment two months ago and received a notice this weekend that a 150$ charge was posted. After lengthy discussion with support via the app and calling, it was determined to be due to the modem not being returned.

I was informed when canceling my service by xfinity that there was no need to return the modem. The xfinity communities site also states the same thing, and I was informed of the same info by my prior apartment.

Note - I paid for an additional upgrade with xfinity, which is why my card was on file (and this available to charge).

I completely get why you're confused @Ilikestuff17! Getting hit with a surprise bill two months after moving out is incredibly stressful, especially since you did your research and confirmed everything beforehand. 

If you could send our team a direct message with your full name and the service address associated with your account, I'd be more than happy to look into this for you.
