Military Orders Cancellation

Why does Xfinity/Comcast not waive early termination fees for military on active duty orders? They send your debt to collections and never inform you of the fee. Are there better solutions to resolve this?

Actually, Comcast DOES waive the ETF for military on active duty that are being deployed.  However, you would have needed to provide your orders in order for the waiver.

 

If you are under a contract and you need to cancel service, you may be subject to an early termination fee (ETF).
 
  •    If you move to a Comcast serviceable area, and transfer service, you are not charged.
  •    If you move to a Comcast serviceable area, and do not sign up for service, then the ETF would apply.
  •    If you move to a non-Comcast serviceable area, then the ETF does apply.
  •    If it is an active duty military deployment, then the ETF will be waived when you send documentation.
  •    If the account holder is deceased, the ETF will be waived upon receiving a death certificate or obituary.
  •    If you downgrade service, then the ETF will not apply.
  •    If you have a Double/Triple Play and remove all but one service, then the ETF will not apply.
