Collections for a balance that Xfinity owes me

Hello, Xfinity has tried to take me to collections twice now for a balance that you owe me and not the other way around. You incorrectly set up a second account when I moved from my apartment to my house and then proceeded to charge me twice. When I found out after getting an overdraft, I spent the next 3 days with your security team, your billing team, and your customer account team to figure out why I have 2 accounts taking payment. Finally, the account get cancelled and yet you kept charging me. Thankfully my bank put a block on your autopays otherwise you'd keep drawing from my account. Then when I cancel all of my services with you, return the equipment and everything, you attempt to keep charging me for both accounts STILL. 

You've sent 2 collection agencies to collect $102 that you think I "owe" except you still owe me $187. For some reason when I ask your collection agents to figure out where my portion of the debt it, they drop the debt and send it back to you.

Can we get this removed from my account or are we going to keep going around and around until we end up in civil court?

Hello, @user_6273iv thank you for reaching out over Xfinity Forums. I completely understand the concern with having 2 accounts being billed at the same time, and being sent to collections. If I was in your shoes, I'd be reaching out as well trying to get this resolved. I'd like to investigate further, and it's helpful to know what had been previously done during interactions.

I had a few questions when you have time to answer:

- When the 2nd account was closed, do you know if the charges were back dated?
- Was there a collections ticket opened (please just answer yes or no, don't add full ticket number if one was opened)?

@XfinityJustinC​ Hello, the first, main account was made in September 2024. I moved to my house in September 2025 and followed through with the moving process in August 2024 so that Xfinity would be set up when my husband and I moved in. The tech came out Aug 15 and then the account went through the move on August 26. My husband and I moved in September 1, 2024.

It was during this time that the 2nd account was made, which I didn't know nor did I authorize a 2nd account. It proceeded to take out auto payments using my information connected to the first account. I didn't notice this until January 2025 when there was an overdraft from Xfinity for $65.

No emails were ever sent to me from the account, no bill confirmations/receipts were ever sent, no charges were back dated, and no payment was refunded. When I called to close the account, it took 3 days and I still never received the closed confirmation email.

I didn't get a collection notice, nothing until August 2025 when I was called by a collection agency on Xfinity's behalf. I would assume that means no collection ticket was ever made. I couldn't even get ahold of Xfinity's collection department. The only time I got a response from them was when I asked the collection agency to investigate the debt Xfinity has to me. Then I got one call to show proof to Xfinity and then never received any communication after that.
