A payment was made on an inactive account

I pay my bill online and it gives me the option to choose between 2 accounts. One hasn't been active since 2024, but the bill was paid to that account and not my current active one. What do I do to get that money back or paid to my current account?

Thanks for reaching out to us. We do apologize for any inconvenience. When logging into the Xfinity account, if it shows more than one account and that one has been closed,  what you'd want to do in the future is when you log in,  click the current active account as your default address.

 

With the payment being made on the wrong account, we can see if we can have that transferred over to your current existing account. Just send us a direct message including your first and last name and complete service address.

 

Here are the detailed steps to direct message us:

  1. Click "Sign In" if necessary.
  2. Click the “Direct Messaging” icon.
  3. Click the “Start new conversation” (pencil and paper) icon.
  4. In the “To:" line, type “Xfinity Support”.
  5. As you type, a drop-down list will appear. Select “Xfinity Support” from that list.
  6. An “Xfinity Support” graphic will replace the “To:" line.
  7. Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window.
  8. Press “Enter” to send it.
