Charged for "free" promotion. Again.

Xfinity mobile is supposed to be free for the first 12 months, that's the promotion I signed up for. However, it requires autopay to be enabled, for something that is FREE. Ok, fine. So 2 months in it quietly charges my account like I wouldn't notice. I go to the Xfinity store and the guy's face turns white when he says he can't help me and I have call the main support line; so I do. I'm transferred 3 time, the call dropped once, and I patiently spend 4 hours on hold before someone comes on and says "haha what a funny little glitch, let me refund the charges and reset the 12 free months as an apology." Cool, mission accomplished right? Well, only a single month goes by before I'm automatically charged again for a free service.

So I'm here for my monthly refund.

Please stop wasting my time or I will make this expensive.

I escalated this to "Executive Resolution" and received 12 months worth of payments credited to my account. That certainly is one way to prevent my card from being charged.

I hope this helps others dealing with something similar.

How did you get an executive resolution because they are doing this to me on a "free" apple watch. They told me I have to call every month to get the charge removed from my bill because on their end they did not apply the appropriate promo code. I do not think I should have to call for the next 30 something months to get my card not charged. I told them to remove my auto pay and just bill me and I won't pay as that is ridiculous. I have been a customer for over 18 years and feel completely scammed over something they pushed down my throat after I repeatedly told them I didn't need or want an apple watch. I finally caved and said I would give it to my son who isn't even using it. It is a complete scam and I work at a law firm and threatened a class action lawsuit as I now see all these threads with others being taken advantage of.

I sent a direct message to support following the instructions in the other post by the Xfinity employee in this thread and demanded it be taken care of. I tried to provide documentation but it was conveniently impossible to find in my account, so I said I just wanted to cancel, and that's when they had me provide contact information for escalation.

Most people likely don't notice the wrongful charges, so they probably make more money by lying than they lose by settling with people who call them out on it.

I do hate to hear about the mobile issues you are having at this time and I will be more than happy to help with your concerns. To begin, would you mind sending me your name and the address to your account in a Direct message?

 

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

- As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

- An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it.
