Former Customer: Peacock Subscription Stuck in Billing Glitch (Prevents New Subscription Activation)
Hello Xfinity Support Team,
Background.
- I am a military member who had to relocate to area without Xfinity services.
- I relocated over a year ago in 2024, now a former Xfinity Internet customer.
Primary Issue.
- The Peacock Premium account is still internally linked to my cancelled Xfinity account.
- This prevents me from changing my payment method or activating a new third-party bundle (Apple TV/Peacock bundle) on my current account.
Details of the Glitch
1. No Active Billing.
- I am NOT currently being charged by Xfinity for Peacock.
- The subscription is in a system limbo - Xfinity is still listed as the active billing partner; however, no charges are being processed.
2. Account Lock.
- Xfinity's system is still recognized by Peacock as the subscription provider.
- New third-party provider (Apple) is rejected when I try to link my existing Peacock email.
- I am unable to subscribe to Peacock through any other method until this link is broken.
3. Goal.
- Xfinity representatives submit an internal escalation ticket to the backend/app integration team.
- Requesting to manually deactivate/uncouple the Peacock subscription ID from my old, canceled Xfinity account.
- This is not a request for a refund, but a request for a system clean-up.
4. This issue is known to occur with Peacock accounts originally bundled with Xfinity service.
5. I need this digital connection severed so my Peacock account is fully released and can be successfully claimed by my new provider.
6. I have made several phone call and chat support attempts since 2024, and no one has solved the issue.
7. I have made several phone calls and chat support to Peacock to ensure they cannot assist in this matter; I have verified that they CANNOT assist me, only Xfinity can.
8. Again, I need high tier technical systems support to manually sever this "Billed by Xfinity" Connection - this CANNOT be done by Peacock.
Thank you for your time and help in resolving this complex system issue.

I had to get my kids up for school, but the support rep was looking into previous tickets. Regardless, the issue is still an issue and needs to be addressed.

I am also having the same problem and have not been able to find a resolution. I downgraded my service with xfinity so that I wasn't getting the free peacock anymore. However a billing cycle has passed and when I sign into Peacock I am still seeing that it's billed by xfinity.

[Edited: "Inflammatory"]
After providing extensive details of peacock billing glitch attached to my account and explaining multiple times in my previous post, then sent direct messages as requested, then verified to have an account debacle, I’m asked to provide verification that I’ve requested to remove my peacock account from Xfinity to elevate my claim, I then received the following question….?? 🤣🤣🤣🫠🫠🥱🥱
This just keeps getting better and funnier. A whole year of requests isn’t the funniest part. The actual comedy behind this is, I’m receiving FREE Premium Peacock and have been for the past year. I’m just trying to do the right thing along with assisting the company in minimizing it’s fraud, waste, and abuse expenditures with hopes it can allocate those funds towards other areas such as it’s employees. This issue isn’t just my account it’s many others who have come forward. I can’t imagine how many are not disclosing they’re receiving free services.
I’m not sure why I’m met with such resistance on this 🤣! Let me help you Xfinity Support, is there a corporate contact that you would like me to elevate this to? Just say that you can’t make it happen, understaffed, backlogged, etc…anything other than going through this periodic loop.
