I am writing to formally dispute charges applied to my account related to an IPhone trade-in

A trade-in that was mishandled due to incorrect instructions provided by your agent. 

Here is the summary of the facts.

1, I mailed one Iphone 14 256 GB as part of a trade-in promotion in November 2024.

2. I was contacted because Find My IPhone had not been disabled on the device. I was explicitly told by your representative to have the phone return to me , disable the feature and mail it back to you-- and that the return/trade-in deadline would not be issue.

3. I folllowed these instructions exactly. I disabled Find My IPhone  and sent the phone back.

4. Xfinity then began charging me the full device cost, claiming deadline had passed. When I called the dispute this, nobody took care of the issue, All agents hang up the phone. Every agents put some weird information about the case.

5, I didn't want to deal with the reps anymore and paid full price cost and requested that my daugther's IPhone14 be returned to me since the trade-in was being denied and i already paid for the new IPhone . They said they cannot return it. 

This is unacceptable. I acted in complete good faith based on the direct instructions of your reps. I should not be financially penalized for following advice given to me by XFinity Staff. I am requesting the following:

1. Immediate reversal of all trade-in related charges on my account.

2. The return of my daugther's IPhone 14 256 GB , or full trade -in  credit for it.

3. A written conformation of the resolution.

Trade=in Offer Date: 11/20/2024

if this is not resolved promptly, I will be filing complaints with the FCC, The FTC, and California Attorney General Consumer Protection Office, as well as  disputing the charges  with my bank, I will also be sharing this experience through public review channels.

Hi there, @user_oyiisy! Thank you for reaching out about the trade in. I appreciate all the details you provided so we can be on the same page. We always want your billing to be correct!

 

There are timelines with trade-ins. Our system will remove the promotion if it shows the requirements were not met. There are circumstances from time to time, where an agent has to fix a promotion or deal. I understand you have reached out previously and tried to do just that.  I will need to access your account so we can look at all the information and turn this around. You are in good hands with our team!
