PHONE UPGRADE NEVER WORKS

I have paid off both phones on my account for years now and it tells me the same thing that i have TOO MANY DEVICES ON PAYMENT PLAN, why are you telling us we have upgrades only to deny them and then not help?  I have tried so many times and i am sure others have been through this as well.. it tells us HAVE TO PAY IN FULL no matter what and the whole over lines for dpp.  if this can finally get resolved it would be nice after 8 years or more..

user_dcb995 The eligibility is determined by the soft credit check on the account when requesting new devices. But usually the eligibility opens up to a bigger spending limit with good payment history. Please send us a direct message with your full name and service address and we can check what is showing on the account and reach out to mobile support if necessary.

Yea xfinity plan may be cheaper than others but its such [Edited: Language] when you want to upgrade, even if you have paid off your phones, they go around the bush and never clear straight answer. In May my phone stopped working so we went in the xfinity store from the new city we moved into that month. They couldnt figure out why i coulfnt upgarde and had no balamce when phone was paid off , we went 5 times and created 5 different tickets for customer service to solve. After a few months of trying someone in customer servicde said it was because we moved and the credit we had didnt move with us when we moved. So then they said wait 6 months and show 6months of wifi on time payments then you should be able to upgrade. We tried again now 6 months later and same [Edited: Language]. im so done with xfinity .
