set up fee

I switched from Centurylink to Xfinity.   What a mistake.   Now Xfinity is charging me a set up fee of $100.   Twice the chat assistant told me it would be creditied back to my account.   Well it hasn't.     Dont sign up for auto pay as xfinity takes out extra fees without your knowledge.

Concern moved here to the Billing help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Should I contact my bank and ask for this fee to be challenged?

Thank you for reaching out, and I apologize for the inconvenience. If new equipment is shipped to you or you complete a self-install, a technician visit within 30 days automatically results in a technician recovery installation fee.

 

Since you were promised a credit, please send me a direct message with your first and last name, and I’ll be happy to take care of this for you.

 

 

Here are the detailed steps to direct message us:

  1. Click "Sign In" if necessary.
  2. Click the “Direct Messaging” icon.
  3. Click the “Start new conversation” (pencil and paper) icon.
  4. In the “To:" line, type “Xfinity Support”.
  5. As you type, a drop-down list will appear. Select “Xfinity Support” from that list.
  6. An “Xfinity Support” graphic will replace the “To:" line.
  7. Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window.
  8. Press “Enter” to send it.

The initail install was free.   I have not had a tech visit since the initial install.

You can look this up in the chat I had a couple of weeks ago.

Now you are saying that I made the deposit and you sent an email verifying it?   Well I just pulled up the email and guess what?   I DID NOT

I have been lied to so many times I can't even keep track of em all anymore.
