Complaint Regarding Misleading Sales Practices at Xfinity Store

Dear Xfinity Customer Service,

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and frustration with the misleading sales practices I encountered at your store located at 3164 N Miami Ave, Miami, FL, 33127. I recently visited this store to set up internet service for my apartment, intending to purchase a 300 Mbps plan. During the process, I was assisted by Sales Consultant [EDIT: name], who offered me a deal for 500 Mbps of internet speed along with a “free” mobile line for one year.

I asked multiple times during the conversation how much I would be paying monthly for this package, and I was repeatedly reassured that my monthly bill would be $75.00, or $65.00 if I enrolled in automatic payments, which I did. Based on this precise information, I agreed to the offer and transferred my phone number to Xfinity.

However, when I received my first bill, I was shocked to see that I am being charged $42.81 per month for the mobile service in addition to the $75.00 for the internet service. When I called your billing department, I was told that “technically the line is free because I am receiving a discount on my internet service bill.” This is not what was communicated to me at the store, and it directly contradicts the assurances given by your representative.

The billing agent further stated that some stores offer deals that are not recognized in the system and suggested I contact the store where the deal was made. This is unacceptable, as I relied on the information provided by Xfinity’s representative to make an informed decision. The only reason I switched from my previous provider, T-Mobile, was because of the promise of a “free” mobile line. It is now clear that this was a tactic to deceive and secure a new customer under false pretenses.

I feel that I have been scammed by Xfinity, and this is an unethical way to treat customers. Xfinity should be accountable for the offers made by its representatives, whether in-store or otherwise. It is incredibly disappointing to see a company engage in such dishonest practices, eroding customer trust and loyalty.

I am requesting immediate action to rectify this situation and adjust my billing to reflect the agreement as promised: $65.00 per month for both internet and mobile services with the automatic payment discount. Otherwise, you are right about stealing from people, and of course, I will transfer back to my old company. This company would not be trustworthy.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

After tons of emails and calls, I finally got the company to cover the bill for my mobile line last month. This promotion was given to me because I decided to go for faster internet speeds. However, they mentioned that this promotion was not real soon on, but after publishing it here, I was contacted by an executive representative, and my bill was paid last month. I asked the person if this would be an automatic promotion. The answer was YES FOR A YEAR! You do not have to do anything! Hence, I did not check my mobile account, but guess what? Today, I got an email from Xfinity: “Thank you for your payment.” I went and checked—surprise, surprise. I was charged with the mobile bill for October. 

This is the worst mobile company I have ever had! I will wait until this month ends (because I have paid for it) and return to T-Mobile. I did not have any of these issues!
