I was lied to

On march 18 I have reached out to Xfinity to see if I can lower my bill. After a lengthy chat I was asked about switching my cell phone to Xfinity from Verizon.  I have explained that I still owe on my four phones.  After being asked how much on each phone I was told that all of it will be covered if I will switch that day.  I have asked numerous times if all of the phones balances will be paid for and I was assured that yes it will be paid, I don’t have to worry.  A month later, a lot of hours on the phone and chats nothing got resolved.  Verizon is on my back about paying the rest remaining balance from the phones.  I am sick to my stomach I was to throw up.  I would have never switched if I knew how horrible Xfinity is treating their customers.  I have been lied to and still trying to resolve it.  All the promises that I was told were all a lie.   Being a loyal customer for over 9 years it makes me sick.  I would love to get this resolved asap.  My family is not in the position to pay such a huge amount for the phone balances.  And I have street that out from the beginning and still was assured it will be taken care of.  Please help, have some human decency

Hey @user_o5tx8s. Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience regarding the recent switch to our Xfinity Mobile services. I would be more than happy to offer my assistance looking into this further for you.
 
It sounds like you were taking part in our Device Payout Plan which provides up-to $500.00 per device for switching to Xfinity Mobile. Depending on the promotion, you would need to submit previous bills and/may need to submit your phones. Do you happen to know if you submitted your previous carriers documentation and more to complete the Device Payout Plan requirements?

I have filed a complain with FCC, I am so sick of being treated that way and lied to.  Again, promised to receive a call from xfinity about my case, nothing!!!!!  Who else is having these issues?  What can be done?

Again, after numerous attempts to get this resolved, I am being lied to that everything will be taken care of, that someone will call me within 24-48 hours, nothing is being resolved.  I just hope people will do research before getting themselves in this situation because I know I am not the only one that is dealing with this.

The exact same thing is happening to me. Xfinity assured me multiple times that everything would be taken care of, but that turned out to be a lie. I called four times and spoke to different agents who all promised that Xfinity would cover the cost of my Verizon iPhones. That was the only reason I agreed to switch. But on my most recent call, I was told the payment was denied.

Yesterday, Verizon automatically withdrew $2,332.89 from my bank account for the three iPhones — even though my account was deactivated when I moved to Xfinity, so I had no way of seeing or managing the charges.

I’m beyond frustrated with how Xfinity has handled this. If you're a new customer and Xfinity is promising to pay off your old phone installments — don't believe them. They will say anything to get you to switch, then leave you to deal with the consequences.

@user_twxvg1​  I was able to remove all my cards from Verizon site but they are still saying they will get the money, they even provided me with the last 4 digits of the card.  I am seriously afraid they will do it.  I have a has going with the CSA but nothing is being resolved besides empty promises

I do now have over $3,000 to pay and I am about to cry because I am worried, I just can't believe Xfinity could do such a thing to people and not give a [Edited: "Language"].  All the promises of phone calls back and emails are worthless.  They tell me they have emailed me and called me is [Edited: "Language"].

Here is my story. This is the email i had to send to corporate to get any type of response from them. 

Xfinity Customer Support

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Misrepresentation and Poor Customer Service

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with the way I was misled and mishandled by Xfinity Mobile representatives, resulting in financial hardship, wasted time, and unresolved issues that continue to affect me.

I was recently persuaded by one of your employees to switch from AT&T to Xfinity Mobile with the assurance that Xfinity would pay off my remaining AT&T device balance of $1,100. I was explicitly told that I would receive two gift cards within 24 hours to cover that amount. I waited — and followed up repeatedly — but the gift cards never arrived.

After about a week of false assurances, I was then informed that the phones needed to be activated before the gift cards could be issued. I complied with this request and was again told I would receive the gift cards within 24 hours. Once again, they did not arrive. Eventually, another Xfinity employee informed me that I had been misinformed entirely — that it would actually take 10 weeks for the cards to be delivered.

At that point, I had no choice but to cancel service with Xfinity and return to AT&T. Unfortunately, due to the accelerated billing cycle and cancellation, AT&T is no longer allowing me to resume the installment plan, and I am now personally responsible for the full $1,100 — all due to false promises made by your team.

Additionally, I have been trying for over three weeks to obtain return slips for the devices provided by Xfinity. Despite numerous requests, I have been given the runaround and still have not received them.

This experience has been completely unacceptable and has caused me significant inconvenience and financial damage.

@user_tsxobw​ 

Have you received a response from them?  I keep on calling and assurances of me getting all my money is being promised.  Yesterday I only received $700 out of over $3,000 that was promised, called and nothing, now they tell me this is what I am getting, really?  I am currently in collections from Verizon with an amount I can not afford to pay. The worse service ever and I have been with them for over 10 years!!!!!!
