Modem Fee for personal modem

Hi, we have been charged a fee for renting a modem for the last couple years despite the fact that we have our own personal modem and are not using the xfinity modem. We have been trying to get through with the chat system, but it seems there are some gaps in understanding with the service agents. They said they opened a ticket for us, but when we asked to see the status of that ticket, they couldn't access it. It has been very frustrating?

What is xfinity's policy regarding refunding us the money we have been charged for a non-existent xfinity modem? From forum topics, this seems to be a reoccurring problem that multiple customers have had to deal with. That doesn't seem to fit with xfinity's customer-first approach; one would think the solution to this would have been created a long time ago to better serve your customers. 

[Edited: "Inflammatory"] I would like a more personal approach from xfinity.

Yes we already tried that and received very little help on that front. The chat agents do not appear to be able to really help us. Can you reach out to us directly?

As I said, that is what we previously tried to do, and were only connected with agents who were unable to help us. I don't think we should need to repeat that process over and over again. It doesn't do anything but waste everyone's time. Instead, I would like a senior member of your support team to reach out to us directly to solve this. We shouldn't need to jump through hoops to fix your mistake.

I completely understand wanting to be credited for a rental modem you never had. I myself would be frustrated if I found out that I had been charged for this device for years. Our corporate team would like to do everything we can to help take care of this issue. I can see where you are coming from being hesitant to send a direct message and I realize it can feel like this is repeating a process you’ve already attempted to resolve multiple times. Our team has not assisted you over direct message in the past, I can guarantee sending us a message will be different than before. We want to turn this experience around and know exactly what needs to be done to completely remove the modem from the account, prevent future charges, and can assist with crediting the account.
