Service Cancellation

Spent two days trying to cancel auto pay. It was such a a bad time that I got CenturyLink fibre and am canceling my service.

Canceling has been such a hassle, that this is the only way I have of cancelling - notifying the company via a forum post.

I actually had to read the websites code for this and YIKES that's probably illegal.

@I_Hate_ISPs We hate to hear of the issues you were running into with autopay and that you are looking to cancel your services. There are multiple different ways that you can go about canceling your services like using our chat via the Xfinity app/website, calling 1-800-XFINITY (1-800-934-6489), visiting a local service center, or of course working with our team here to assist via social media. We would like to further assist you with this and learn more about your experience. Can you please send us a direct message with your full name and address? To send a direct message, please click on the chat icon in the top-right corner of the screen, and select "Xfinity Support" to initiate a live chat. 

 

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "direct messaging" icon or https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list which appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it

@XfinityKatie​ Except the chat app doesn't work. It forces you to engage with a call back in order to 'justify' why you're cancelling. This is absolutely unethical and INACCESSIBLE. What is a hard of hearing or deaf person supposed to do? You MUST add a service cancellation option on the website. I shouldn't have to convince a person that cancelling is actually what I want. Absolutely unbelievable.

Online chat throws fake error messages and runs empty processes designed, seemingly, to damage mobile devices (I read the code) work and phone representatives refused to cancel service instead offering different services.

This is unacceptable, pathetic, cowardly, and possibly illegal.

Cancel my service, don't forward me to a refusal to cancel my service elsewhere.

[Edited: "Inflammatory"], when you try to cancel they open a chat window and the chat bot goes around and around until it says you will need to call. Try to call and the page you are directed to times out. I wonder how much extra time people are billed for because it takes two or three days to finally cancel service. [Edited: "Language"]

@jryanvt78 here is a step by step on how you can message us with an example:

(Full credit to @BruceW for this excellent explanation!) 


"Search for Xfinity Support" won't work. To send a "Direct Messaging" message to Xfinity Support:


 • Click "Sign In" if necessary


 • Click the "Direct Messaging" icon or https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging


 • Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon


 • The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there


 •  - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list


 •  - An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line


 • Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window


 • Press Enter to send it

They said they were cancelling it finally after I post on Reddit. The date they said, has already passed a week ago ...and it's still on. It's been a week of trying. I guess I'll have to go into th store. Ridiculous.

I agree. I have had to call back to get a refund that I was owed and was charged about $15 more! It takes at least an hour and often more . I gave up and decided I'd rather to cancel. I won't be back.

Cancelled my Xfinity internet but I’m still being charged.  I can’t get through their automated phone system and my phone number that is linked to the account is not recognized. So upset with their customer service.

Thank you for reaching out to us @user_9luazo! Do you remember the date you requested to have the services disconnected? At the top of your monthly bill, there is a date below “Billing Date”, this date is when your monthly bill generates. If the disconnection request was made after the bill already generated, the changes will not appear until the next billing cycle generates. For example, if your bill generates on the 1st of each month and the disconnection request occurred on the 2nd or a later day in the month, the changes will not appear until the next bill generates on the first of the following month.

I just hung up after 19 minutes speaking with “Albert”. Tried canceling my service, but he offered to reduce my monthly charges for internet only service by $30. So I spent at least 15 minutes on the phone with him while he kept putting me on hold. He couldn’t even figure out how to send a confirmation text or email!

Tried multiple times to text me, then tried emailing me. I finally gave up and told him to cancel the service! This is such BS. 
    I’m switching to Glo Fiber today.
