Double charged Activation Fees

Something similar just happened to me recently. I was charged twice for the activation charges to start my services at a new address. I’ve spoken to at least 5 different xfinity reps in the last 4 days. I filed a dispute with my bank (sent via mail on Friday) and received a notification from xfinity today (Sunday) that the second payment processed was returned to my bank and there would be a “return fee” added to my acct since it was canceled. What confused me about this email is #1: when I made xfinity aware of the second charge they told me they didn’t authorize it and that I should contact my bank. If this is true, why am I receiving emails about a charge being cancelled that was not authorized by them? #2: I know for sure my bank did not receive the dispute from me yet, so again, how does xfinity know it’s been canceled? Is there some outside entity accessing their billing services or is xfinity’s system seriously this flawed? Either way I’m becoming very frustrated by this and have seen other posts from the last 3 years at least with very similar problems.

@user_64ab0c Hello and thank you for joining the Xfinity Forums! As a heads-up, we do ask that you create your own post if you are having issues so that they don't get closed. We would be more than happy to look into that activation fee and see why you were charged twice. Can I get you to send us a direct message so we can investigate this further? Thank you!
