Bill Doubled After Promo Ended - Lack of Prominent Notice

Hello,

I'm writing to seek assistance with a significant increase in my monthly bill. My 24-month promotional rate recently expired, causing my bill to jump from approximately $60 to $124.

While I understand that promotional rates end, my core issue is with the method of notification for this change. The only advance notice provided was a single line item buried on page 3 of my monthly PDF statement. Given that Xfinity uses direct methods like email and text for routine billing alerts, placing such a critical and costly update in a non-prominent location feels intentionally obscure.

Furthermore, this practice appears to be out of line with Utah's consumer protection laws (specifically Utah Code Title 15, Chapter 10), which require "prominent notice" for these types of contract changes. A buried line item does not meet a reasonable standard of "prominent."

I am requesting two things:

  1. A bill credit for the $64 overcharge on my most recent statement.

  2. A reduction in my prorated rate for the following month after I swapped to a new promotional plan.

I have already attempted to resolve this over the phone but was unable to reach a representative who could address the specifics of this issue. I'm hopeful the team here can provide a better resolution.

@user_tuefmd Thanks for reaching out to our team for help with your bill concerns. I have a link that goes into your bill breakdown line by line here https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/new-bill-design.

Whenever you're on a promotion we add those details to your bill which include the discount amount and the end date. This information is listed on each bill for the duration of that promotion which ranges from one year to five years.  I always recommend adding that date to your calendar, so you have an additional reminder of when that promotion is ending. The best part about our XFINITY App is that it’s free to download, and we always list the last two years of your billing statements there. 

I am happy to see what our current promotions are for you. Can you please direct message me your first and last name along with your full service address so that I can assist

@XfinityKei​ I already met with a rep who got me swapped to a new plan, but that's not my issue right now. Did I add a notification for myself 5 years from now to make sure I swap? Yes. But there should be greater transparency than what you guys currently offer to make sure customers are aware of a price change coming up. Embedding that information as SUBTEXT on the LAST page of a billing statement is not a good way to prominently display critical information about a change in pricing. 

What I'm truly trying to get from my post here is, is there something you can do to get me a credit, or do I need to escalate it further? Because you better believe I will.

@user_tuefmd I totally get where you're coming from with wanting an alert from us. At this time we do not have anything in place for this, but it's a great idea that I will share with my team! As a friendly reminder bill promotions etc  are on page three of your XFINITY bill. 

Our XFINITY App has a tab where you can also leave your direct feedback!

We are unable to apply credits when the billing issue is valid. If your bill is missing those dates and information we sure can. I find it helpful to always check your bill each month as this is where we also provide information updates and notices to our customers.

I understand you're stating the charges are valid according to Xfinity's internal policies. However, the issue here is not the math on the bill, but whether Xfinity's notification practice is legally compliant. I have reviewed the Utah Code in detail. Your notification practice is in direct violation of state law.

Specifically, Utah Code § 15-10-201 dictates that when providing notice of renewal in a statement, it must be 'prominently displayed on the first page of a monthly statement.'

My notice was located on page 3.

This is not a matter of interpretation; it is a clear failure to comply with the statute. Because legally-compliant notice was not provided, the resulting price increase is invalid. I am restating my request for a full credit for the overcharge.

Since you've confirmed you are unable to issue a credit though, I will proceed with filing a formal complaint with both the FCC and the Utah Attorney General's office to get an official determination on this matter.

This is outside our team's policy to issue a credit, and we understand if you need to go that route to attempt to receive the credit for the price increase. Our legal team would work with the FCC towards a resolution per your state laws if you decide to go that route.
