Xfinity's Unfair Business Practices

I have been an Xfinity customer for over 15 years.  I recently purchased a new phone for my daughter and added a line through Xfinity.  I was given a price for the new service $13.75 per month and $15 for insurance.  I had to pay the first month's device payment and taxes at time of purchase which was $13.75 (1st month) and $45.62 (taxes).  I received my first bill this month which indicates $35.41  ($30.41) monthly payments ($5.00) insurance.  In addition, my bill indicated a $3.60 mobile care for another line that was not purchased.

When I called Billing to get this straightened out, I was offered a solution to this as follows:  An upgrade from an Apple Iphone 15 to a 16 and a smartwatch with no charges - all charges on Xfinity.  Sounded too good to be true to me but I allowed the salesperson to complete the transaction for the watch which, of course, was not completely free.  Taxes had to be paid which I consented too.  Then, the process for the upgraded Iphone 16.  This of course was not free either requiring taxes and another charge which would total $90+ and I was assured that $34 would be credited back to me once the Iphone 15 was returned.  At this disclosure, I questioned what about the monthly device charge on the current Iphone 15 would that be removed from my bill?  At this question, the salesperson said "No.  Once 50% of that amount owed was paid, I would be eligible for an upgrade."  What?  How is this solving my problem of the wrong price being charged?  After over 30 minutes of talking to this salesperson, I was told there was nothing that could be done.  Even though I have a receipt from Xfinity indicating the device payment I am supposed to pay for the phone.  The promotion I received was only for new customers bringing a number over from another carrier.  

This is not the way you treat loyal customers that have always paid their bill on time consistently and only want to pay what they owe.  It is more of a bait and switch tactic that would have gotten me in deeper financial obligation to Xfinity.  At this point, I am planning to take my business somewhere else where my loyalty will be appreciated.  BYE Xfinity!!!!

user_ec9535 Thank you for reaching out, and providing your feedback. This is definitely not the experience we want our customers to have. Did you escalate your concerns with the Xfinity Mobile Team to reach a resolution?

I sent in a complaint to FCC and they took the next step and contacted Xfinity.  Someone did leave a message for me from there yesterday.  I plan to call back Monday morning.  I know that Xfinity did not get to where they are today by treating customers in such a deplorable manner.  I will follow up with this.  I appreciate the fast response from the company.

I did talk to Roberto @ Xfinity Mobile Executive Resolutions who was very helpful and understanding.  He did resolve the problem which involved adjusting my account manually with credits.  I appreciate his efforts and the respective manner that he treated me  I am locked into 24 months with Xfinity because of the promotion I accepted.  I also refused delivery of the "free" watch which I had to pay taxes for and will hopefully get reimbursed for that amount after the watch gets delivered back to Xfinity.  If accepted, I would have had to pay an additional $10 a month service fee for the free watch.  In addition, if I change or exit my Xfinity plan prior to 24 months, I would be obligated to pay the $300 for the "free" watch.  Lesson learned - Read over documents carefully and ask endless questions whenever you are signing up for additional services or equipment.   In other words, "look a gift horse carefully in the mouth."  Do not accept any free gifts from companies until you know exactly what you are getting yourself into and what is it going to cost you eventually to accept the "free" gift.
