Service disconnected with payment extension plan

I contacted Xfinity via Chat 10-19-22 re: timing to resolve my past due balance and avoid losing my service.

The agent approved a payment extension until 10-27-22 for the past due balance.

They assured me my services would not be disconnected as long as I paid the past due balance on or before 10-27-22.

The next day 10-28-22 internet & cable TV suddenly disconnected.

I called Xfinity but the system would not allow me to talk to anyone or schedule a call back  "an agent won't be able to help you until we receive your payment"

I finally got connected to an agent via Chat and explained the situation.

They said my services were suspended because I was not eligible for the payment extension approved by Xfinity agent 24 hours earlier.

The only option for restoring my service was to pay the entire past due balance immediately.

I explained several times that the past due amount is too much for me to cover now before I get paid.

I have screenshots of the original chat session indicating the payment plan was approved.

Please help, I need internet service for work

@XfinityVanessa​ Hi Vanessa, thank you for responding. I've been trying to click the link sent so I can private message you but

it takes me to the screen where I need to enter a name? 
I tried entering your name but I couldn't find you. 
I've never sent a direct message in the Xfinity forum so maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

Thanks for your patience and help!

I'm sorry that didn't work, @nwgirl73. Try these steps:

To send a direct message [private message]:

  •    Click "Sign In" if necessary
  •    Click the "Direct Message" 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

I no longer work for Comcast.
