Billed for equipment I never asked for in the first place and was told was "mine to keep"

I canceled my xfinity account last year as I moved states and xfinity services were not offered in the area I moved to. On my last bill I was charged $50 for unreturned equipment (some sort of xfinity streaming device, we used our own modem and router). This was equipment that was sent to me despite me telling the sales rep over the phone multiple times that I did not want it. I was repeatedly told it was "mine to keep" and "free". I still declined it. It showed up in the mail anyways. It never left the box it came in as we never used it. When we moved, I threw it out since I was told it was "mine to keep". Then on our final bill we were charged for unreturned equipment..

Good evening @user_63159c Thank you for reaching out on the Xfinity Community Forums. With Xfinity Flex, All devices must be returned when service ends. We recommend visiting our 'What's Xfinity Flex?' support page where it states "If you'd like to cancel your service for any reason, you’ll need to return your Xfinity Flex streaming TV Box.". If you happen to find possession of the equipment, we can then reverse the charges once it has been returned. We do provide a few quick and convenient ways to return the equipment such as visiting a local Xfinity Store, local UPS Store (Package and Ship for no charge), or print a return label from our Digital Return Center. Additional information on returning equipment can be found on our 'How To Return Your Xfinity Equipment' support page.

@XfinityJanelle​ That is ridiculous that I was charged for a device that I repeated refused when asked if I wanted it. Because I knew that I could potentially end up in this situation being charged for unreturned equipment. The sales person on the phone repeatedly stated I would not have to return it. I still said I didn't want it and it came anyways. That is absurd that you can then charge me for it as I said no when she asked if I wanted it in the first place... Furthermore I called billing support 3 weeks ago and spoke to a representative over the phone regarding this issue who said the charge would be removed. But it's still there..
