Access restriction

I am having a bad day. I saw on my account that there was a bill I didn’t pay because I didn’t know about it (I just moved, and just got Xfinity this month) I went to pay it but ended up paying my bill that was due in a few days, no big deal I’ll go back and pay the other one. Nope. My entire day has been trying to fix this issue and no one seems to want to help that much. Whenever I go on the app it tells me I’ve been disconnected from services because I need to pay a bill, but when I try to pay the bill I’m redirected to a large yellow exclamation point and it says “access restriction” and then that’s it no prompts or anything after that. I’ve tried so many things. I’m at my last straw, I work from home, I need wifi. I want to pay the bill and be done with this, I feel completely ignored.

Please remember, the best communities have most conversations happening in the public boards. This helps to ensure that our users get the fastest most accurate response possible provided by other user or our Official Employees. This also serves to benefit other users who may have a similar question. When interacting with an employee we will always try to keep as much of the conversation in that public thread but know we may ask you for a private message if we need to discuss your account-specific details. To help maintain our forum design, we ask that you never send unsolicited/unwanted private messages to any employee or user in these forums unless specifically asked to do so. If you do not see the feature on your profile, it may be because you have never posted a question on one of our public boards.
