Undisclosed Setup Fee

Hi, I am contacting you to proactively dispute a $100 professional installation fee that is pending for my upcoming bill. I opted for a self-installation, but the line to my unit had been physically switched over to Astound Broadband by a previous tenant. The technician who arrived determined that the issue was entirely outside my unit on Xfinity-owned infrastructure. He had to manually reconnect the external drop to the Xfinity plant to restore the signal. Per Xfinity policy, service fees are waived when a technician works strictly on company-owned equipment outside the demarcation point. Can an official employee please review the technician's job resolution notes and apply a waiver credit for this setup fee?

Concern moved here to the Billing help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

@XfinityJohnG​ I've DM'ed XFinity Support with that information. Your specific screen name wasn't available in the dropdown.

@XfinityJohnG I was told this pending undisclosed setup fee would be removed. It was not and you charged my account yesterday. This leaves a very bad impression. What other surprise fees can I expect while I pay for your service?

Hi there! We are happy to look into this for you. Since it's been awhile that we last connected, we will need to re-authenticate your account. We have already received your Direct Message, can you respond there and provide your full name and service address?
