Help unlink peacock subscription that has a error to try again later nonstop

I’m currently trying to use my free peacock subscription from Xfinity. It’s saying that it’s active but I don’t recall activating it and don’t know where it’s active so I keep trying to unlink it, but it keeps saying an error and that I should try again later but it never works. Are you able to help me unlink it

Good Morning, @XKay3459X I'm very sorry for the trouble you are experiencing trying to view the free Peacock. Have you tried all of your emails? There would have been a confirmation email that would have been sent to you, have you searched your email in box?-Richard

I've now spent over 3 hours on the phone with Xfinity Customer Support trying to resolve exactly the same issue.  My support ticket Ref is CR226146350 and multiple staff have been unable to unlink Peacock from my Xfinity Account.  The Advanced Technical Support Team say that the cause is a "bad signal coming into the house" .   The error shown on the Xfinity website is a Peacock pop up window, showing the Peacock Logo, stating "Something unexpected happened.  Please close this pop up and try again. If the problem persists, try again later."  The advanced technical support team were nice and friendly, and very patient, but this problem was one they had to forward to others internally at Xfinity to look further into.

@I_just_want_to_unlink_Streaming​ 

they ended up, figuring it out. Apparently, a friend of mine had been logged into my free Peacock subscription on her own email account. it refused to let them take it off so they ended up having to make me a second Xfinity account and where they closed out the first one and just moved everything over to the second one. Xfinity customer service representative can reach out to Peacock and see what email it’s active under. That’s what they did for me but yes, it did. Take a long time

I too have spent hours on the phone with Xfinity just try to Activate my free peacock and get the same try again later error.  Twice I've been told it would be resolved in 24 hours but to no avail. I can't even get the satisfaction of canceling since it's free, but so frustrating 😫
