Acp ended early I have huge bill

ACP discount removed early

I HAVE EXACT SAME PROBLEM

First let me say that I understand the ACP program has ended in May.  However, xFinity removed the discount from my account in March, including a reversal of the February discount that I had already received (like pouring salt on a wound).  This has resulted in an additional $90 in charges – for February, March, and April – that I had not budgeted for, so of course you suspended my service when I was unable to pay.

i spoke with someone in customer service who initially lied to me saying everybody lost the ACP benefit in February.  Then she actually tried to upsell me on adding xFinity mobile to my account.  What she couldn’t do was explain why I’d lost the ACP discount early.

If you could just figure out the problem and fix it then the extra $90 in charges would go away and I could pay the rest of the bill and have my service restored.  Then for future months I will budget for the extra $30 a month now that the program actually has been cancelled.  But throwing that $90 at me with no explanation as to why the discount was removed has made it impossible to pay such an unexpectedly large bill.  Please help fix the error and reverse those charges!  I was approved for the ACP in September or October of 2023, and I received no indication from the government that I suddenly didn’t qualify any more.  So simply reinstating the discount retroactively should solve this issue and get me back online.  Thank you for taking this matter seriously, as I could not get the agent I spoke with to do so.

user_i7voyr thank you for taking the time to use the Community Forums page and reach out. I understand the importance of maintaining an accurate billing amount and the frustration an increase in said bill would cause when not anticipated. Due to the program coming to an end, we would not be able to retroactively apply the discount. This is because the funds associated with this discount were not something provided by Xfinity directly, nor were the eligibility requirements. That said, I am still more than happy to take a look at your account and see what options are available moving forward. Please send me a direct message with your full name and complete service address to get started.

I had the same issue! I received no notification that the acp had ended and my service was interuoted. I rely on the internet for medical reasons as well as my sons schooling they gave me an extention of 2 days to pay 60 of the back bill which the agent claims went all the way back to January and told me if I could come up with that payment my next bill would be due on the 17th of 9.99. I borrowed the money from my son seeing how I am disabled and awaiting my disability payments to become active again. But just received my next statement of 30. And some odd cents. Something is not right here and beeds to be checked into!

I too have experienced the same thing, except for they cancelled my ACP in March. Paid March payment, then turned around and reversed the payment. Then here’s my April bill and it’s 368, so I call and the first of 7 told me everybody’s ACP was canceled in March. But I have these changes on my bill that that jumped up a huge amount from March to April. I have several different charges, and Not one of the 7 reps that I spoke with you explain and make it make sense. This is unacceptable that you all would be doing this to your customers Who you appreciate so very much it doesn’t feel like you appreciate it at all with the tactics that you guys have tried to pull

 I just read that the ACP program ended in May, 2024.
