Service suspended, can’t get live agent

I have been trying to get a live agent for 3 hours now. Unfortunately because service is suspended I have no option to talk to a real live person. I have made payment arrangement to restore service but because everything is confusing to navigate through I believe I now have two payment arrangements made. Both times I set up the payment I received notification that my services should will be restored within the hour. It’s almost been 3 hours with no movement. I need to talk with an agent about this but unfortunately you make it impossible. This is the most stressful experience I ever have, never have I had service with a company that didn’t allow you to speak with customer service because of service suspensions. I get bills need paid, but to cut contact with customer service over it seems a bit excessive and truly poor business decisions on Xfinity’s part. Also I have read other forums where you have people send a direct message. I have clicked every link given and navigated ever where and there is NO direct message option. Only the option to make a post on the forum. I really need to chat with someone and it’s literally impossible and that is going to be my breaking point where I end up cancelling my xfinity services altogether because this is beyond stressful and should never live in a world where talking to a human being from customer service is made this difficult. The chat bot and AI is ridiculous. I made the payment arrangement more than once and now the automated message when I called says I made arrangements to pay MORE than what my balance due is. This is too much stress for any person to handle. I work from home and take online courses therefore I need my service. I was unaware of the past due balance because somehow my automated payments got canceled and I received no notification or warnings prior to service suspension otherwise the bill would have been paid. I can pay the bill in full but at a later date. However I need my service restored today, like promised when making the payment arrangement, in order to work to pay the bill. I would have never let it get behind or disconnected had I known but unfortunately it’s just what I woke up to today. Please someone help me how to get a LIVE AGENT please don’t tell me to call because the automated lady is no help and doesn’t allow live agents until service is restored. Chat bot same thing. And there is NOOOOO direct message option anywhere on this page. When clicking the bubble it just directs me to the chat forum here. Please help!

Trinna1124 Hello and thank you for reaching out via our Xfinity Community Forums. I am so incredibly sorry you're going through this! I can only imagine the immense stress and frustration you must be feeling right now, especially needing your internet for work and online courses and then having it suddenly suspended without any prior warning you were aware of. It sounds like a truly awful situation, and the difficulty you're experiencing trying to reach a live agent is just compounding that stress. Please know that I hear you, and I want to help you get this resolved as quickly as possible. It's definitely not our intention to make it impossible to speak with someone when your service is suspended, and I sincerely apologize that you're encountering this barrier. I understand how essential it is for you to have your internet restored today, especially since you made payment arrangements with the expectation of immediate reconnection. The fact that the automated system is now saying you've made arrangements for more than what's due is also adding to the confusion and anxiety, which is completely understandable. I want to assure you that I am a live agent here, and I can help you. I understand you've been clicking around looking for that option, and I apologize for the difficulty you've experienced.  To dig into this and see how we can best help, please send our team a Direct Message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account.
