Bill pay: phone doesn't work, internet doesn't work

Wish I had a choice about my provider. 

phone:

asks me what I want to do. doesn't understand pay bill. Once got to where I had a number to choose to pay bill. but got message about balance and no option to pay

web page-internet:

endless loop- click pay bill see the 3dot busy page, get a half-second flash saying something wrong before it goes back to 3 dots

chat- wants me to sign in to chat w/ a person. I sign in and then it ask's me to sign in again..... sigh 

For an internet provider your web page, phone service and customer support get a 1 out of 5 stars..... BAD

This is the chat.

Concern moved here to the Billing help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Hi there @user_d4fe46 ! Sorry to hear you're running into trouble with your internet service and paying the bill! Paying should be easy, and we provide a plethora of methods to get it done. Here is a list of the options to pay online : https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/pay-comcast-bill-online

 

And other ways to pay : https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/pay-your-bill-echat

 

One thing to note is that as of earlier last month it is a requirement to sign in with your XFINITY ID in order to pay your bill. Let me know if you are able to use any of the above options!

 

As far as your internet service, we would love to troubleshoot and get it working again for you. Can you provide some details of what you are experiencing? Thanks!

Internet works fine. I could not find a category that fit my problem and had to pick something.

Like I mentioned the phone option doesn't let me pay a bill and the internet option doesn't work w/ chrome or firefox. Get message that I'm logged in followed immediately by message I need to log in. Then the cycle repeats. Should not be this complicated to pay my bill.

@user_d4fe46, thanks for getting back to us, I appreciate it! You're right it should be very easy to pay your bill, and we have many options to do so. Have you tried making the payment through your Xfinity App with the other options above not working for you?

@XfinityFrank​ 

this link is the one I mentioned it goes into an endless loop and never gives me option to pay. try chrome and firefox.

The phone option is an aggravating loop of talking to an AI bot that never works. 

Sigh..... Don't need or want your app on my phone but yet as a tech company you can't get simple thing like online bill pay to work w/ Chrome or Firefox VERY frustrating

Hello, @user_d4fe46. Thank you for following up to confirm which browsers you have attempted while trying to make the online payment, and understand the frustration you're experiencing going around in the loop either online or over through the automated voice system. 

 

We do have payment kiosks, and certified payment centers that can be used to make one time payments if needed. To locate the nearest one here is a great link: https://www.xfinity.com/support/store-selector. 

 

I defintely want to help get this corrected where your account information is recognized, and you're able to proceed with making a payment while logged into your account. From experience, I've worked with customers with similar issues, and have found the scenario you're describing could be due to the Xfinity ID used to sign in. I'd like to investigate further, and since I would need to gather some information to locate and authenticate your account please send a direct message: 

 

To send a direct message:

To expedite your request, we ask that you please include your name, the account holder name (if different), and the service address.
