Credit for technician fee

Was charged for a technician to come out and swap their faulty brand new TV box. I tried the assistant twice with no credit or explanation. Called and was on hold for most of the 40 mins. They raised a ticket which I was notified via text to then have it closed before the guy on the phone was done explaining everything. 

How do I get a credit for this, it was xfinity that had the faulty box, no cables were replaced. This has to be the worst xfinity experience I have ever had.

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

user_njacc0 Thank you for reaching out to us today! You may have been charged the techincan fee if your account is less that 30 days old, and had orginally received a self installation getting started kit.

@XfinityMartyR​ I am a long time customer. Went to the xfinity store and they upgraded my cable boxes. Installed them worked fine for a day then no cable. The only option they gave me was for the technician to come out and would only be charged if the problem is in my end. He found the new cable box wasn't working. Tried another brand new one which was broken as well and then the third one which has been working since. (Side note I dont have the newest style box but back to the style I just turned in).

I ended up calling 5 times to resolve this. 5th time asked for a supervisor. Went back and forth and then she finally issued a credit. Not for the technician fee but for being a long term "diamond" customer. I dont know what has happened to xfinity and their customer service but what a joke.  All that hassle on my end to get a credit that never should have been on their. Next time I will just cancel service and not even bother knowing what I will have to go thru. Do better xfinity

Hello user_njacc0 thank you so much for following up and letting us know this was ultimately resolved for you.
