Why do I keep getting "payment declined" notices? Phising suspected

I have been on automatic payments for some time. Everything was fine until the September bill, Comcast made an error and deducted $.14 too little. When I discovered the mistake a few days later, I submitted the $.14 underpayment electronically and assumed that was the end of the matter. 

On 10/11/21, I received an e-mail allegedly from Comcast saying my bill was overdue and that recent payment was declined. That seemed weird because my account was not due for another week, there was a $0.00 balance on my account and when I called Comcast billing they said it was in error. They asked that I send a copy of that e-mail to [Edited: "Personal Information"]. Everything went back to normal.

On 1/1/22, I again got an e-mail allegedly from Comcast once again saying my automatic payment had been declined. This was well in advance of when my automatic payment was due! I went and checked to make sure everything was in order and resubmitted the automatic payment info on 1/1/22. On 1/3/21, I got the same e-mail that "my automatic payment was recently declined of process on 1/3/22".

What [Edited: "Language"] is going on?  I'm not even close to past due and I know the payment wasn't declined! This needs to be settled immediately. I'm tired of receiving these e-mails especially when it's not an error on my part.
