Xfinity fraudulently changed my auto payment info

I have auto pay set up on my account. For the last 2 years my monthly payments have been taken from my bank account. Happen to check my email and I see an email saying my payment has been declined and I’m late on payment. I go into my account to see that Xfinity somehow changed my auto payment method from my bank account to SOMEONE ELSES VISA CARD. No clue whose card this is. It’s not mine and I am the ONLY PERSON ON THE ACCOUNT. How did this happen??? I have not made any account nor billing changes, so I did not authorize this in any way. This is a fraudulent change and breach of security. How does someone else’s credit card suddenly get added as my billing auto pay?? For days I’ve been trying to contact Comcast to resolve this issue. Can’t get a live person on the phone and the online chat agents aren’t helpful in the slightest and continue to transfer me to other people then ultimately stop replying. Extremely poor customer service. They are not understanding I have not authorized this account change and management needs to be made aware as this is a serious issue. I’ve spent several hours of my time trying to explain the issue and wait for responses and just keep hitting a dead end. The worst customer service on the face of the planet. Someone please help!!! I need to speak with a live person ON THE PHONE.

user_fqt5z0 For the security of our customers, we wouldn't have access to any account without receiving a two-step authorization to access any billing information. Were you able to have the autopay changed back to your bank account? 
 
For the fraud concern, I would recommend contacting our Customer Security Assurance team to investigate the account. They can be reached by phone and I'll include the phone number and hours below.

@XfinityThomasD​ I did not have 2FA enabled. I have since enabled it because this is extremely concerning.

no I have not changed any billing info whatsoever until I can speak with a live person/ management and have them look at it. I don’t want to remove anything I need them to see it for themselves. It’s extremely concerning.

I too have discovered Xfinity has taken nearly $2000 in excess payments via auto payment for 2 years.  They say my account is past due and then take two months of payment and then take a monthly payment in excess.  I've been in the chat with 6 different people who cannot help me. As soon as they discover the overpayments they leave the chat and a new person arrives.  How do I have late payments if it is set up for auto pay?  Then they charge a $10 late fee on top of taking excess payments.  Now they stopped responding in the chat.  It's been two hours!  Cancelling my account.

It's now been 3 hours and 14 different agents and no one seems to be able to resolve my overpayment issue
