Second account created when upgrading service plan

I recently upgraded my service plan in order to take advantage of some of the newer plan features.  As part of this it appears that rather than change my existing account service, a new account was created.  I assumed the old account would be closed, but I am still incurring charges/billing from the old account.  It appears this is a relatively common issue and I would like to understand how to resolve it.

user_hcv7tc Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, when members create new accounts to take advantage of new member promotions, it causes havoc with Xfinity Membership tiers, Xfinity Mobile account alignment, equipment issues, and of course duplicate billing concerns. We recommend exiting members refrain from creating new accounts to obtain introductory pricing. Our teams can perform account reviews on existing members accounts to see what possible options may exist, and ensure our members are getting the best value from their services.

Appreciate the quick response - to be clear, I went into my account and requested a change of service to a plan that was presented to me as an alternative/upgrade.  At no point did I ask for a 'new subscriber' plan or do anything that would indicate that I was doing anything but modifying my existing plan. 

I would like help resolving this becuase I now have 2 accounts that I am being billed for.
