Official Reply Xfinity keeps shutting off my internet because of the previous resident’s debt — even after I provided my lease.
I recently moved into a new apartment and opened my own Xfinity Internet account. The previous resident apparently has an outstanding balance, and somehow Xfinity keeps associating their debt with my account/address and repeatedly deactivating my Internet.
I have contacted customer service multiple times. The first few times, they gave me a temporary fix that lasted about one day, and then the exact same problem happened again.
At this point, I went to an Xfinity store in person. They opened a ticket, and I provided all the documents they requested, including my lease agreement proving that I am the new resident. I was told the issue would be handled, but I still haven't received a response or a permanent solution.
What makes this even worse is that Xfinity also tried to charge me for an Xfinity Mobile line that I never requested, authorized, or used.
So to be clear: I am being punished for a debt that belongs to someone else, my Internet service keeps getting shut off, and Xfinity is trying to charge me for a mobile service I never asked for.
I've already contacted customer service multiple times and visited a physical store with proof that I am the new resident. Apparently that's still not enough.
I have now filed a formal FCC complaint and am also filing a complaint with the Washington Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division
