Internet/Voice Equipment Charge

Every month I receive two charges on top of my original modem rental price called Internet/Voice Essentials. To my understanding this is similar to a landline or something? But I have never asked for this service nor do I use it (under the charge it says "This Equipment Is Inactive We'll Be Happy To Remove This Charge Upon Return To a Local Xfinity OR UPS Store", but I only got the Xfinity Gateway modem they provided me when I ordered Internet). Every month, I get this charge on my account and I contact support to take it out and every month it comes back, making me pay almost 35 dollars more than what I'm supposed to owe. 

I'm not sure why this keeps happening; if it's a modem or an account issue, but I would like this to be fixed so I don't have to keep paying more than what I should.

Hey there, @user_pe8ecr! Thanks for taking the time to visit our Xfinity Community Forum, and for posting this billing concern. It sounds like we may have unreturned equipment listed on your account, which could account for multiple modem charges each month. For something like this, it's best if we take a closer look and see what can be done to resolve it once and for all. But don't worry! You're in great hands with our Digital Care Team :) We're amazing to work with because we'll always do whatever we can to review and resolve issues quickly. May I please have you send our team a direct message to continue?
