Why is making a payment so difficult?

I've never had a more frustrating experience than trying to pay this Xfinity bill! I do not want to log in. I want to give you money.

In fact, it is so frustrating I am looking into internet service with a different provider

It's the worst. I've been trying to pay my bill for the last half an hour. I've tried everything, and everything leads to access denied. I'm also ready to ditch this whole operation.

Literally the stupidest most time wasting experience with Comcast and all their stupid messages you’re sitting there waiting to listen to because it doesn’t let you bypass literally going to cancel my service because I can’t simply pay a bill without a 30 minute experience on their stupid system, so over it going to their competitor, I’ve had enough

Comcast states never received my payment in mail.. odd all bills went to post office as usual.every one else received payments. I put a stop on this check so not to get washed. You call Comcast and they give me no help. Do these people answering phone have any clues to what job they are doing.

@user_ujjez5 Have you thought about adding autopay? I personally have AutoPay set up on my own account! It helps me with one less worry each month because I do not get any additional fees such as late fees, reactivation fees and guarantee to prevent services being disconnected due to non-payment. You can set up autopay by following this link: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/setting-up-auto-payments. You can also set up text notifications to make sure you never miss a payment here https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/comcast-text-alerts and you would also get updates on upcoming payments and when a payment posts to the account!

I am so frustrated with trying to pay my xfinity bill online.  They have the worst service.  They want you to sign up for automatic billing.  Why?  Your services [Edited: "Language"].  We are about to cancel their services.  We're going to get another internet service provider.  Comcast cable aka Xfinity [Edited: "Language"].

When ways to pay the bill are suggested by Comcast, most of them actually do not work, without a struggle and time wasted. And not only that, but the ways to pay the bill get smaller every month. For example, for awhile when I clicked on Chat with an Agent, I could pay my bill that way automatically - but tonight when I searched for Chat, it was no longer there. When I click on My Account, it not only makes me log in every time, but up comes a screen where I have to verify my phone number/account every month. I often pay bills late at night (and try to do it online, because it is "easier" - and my phone has been turned off. I have to turn it on and wait for it to come on, then wait for the code to type in the box, etc. Why in God's name would I need to verify myself/my phone/my account every single month? How many scammers are there who want to pay us? If I was me last month, I am still me - I haven't stolen my own identity. This is just harassment - and for monetary gain and a free ride for Comcast. And now other companies do the same thing. It is sick, twisted, and just like capitalism, it has to go. The reason we can't do anything is because Comcast, like many other corporations now, have a monopoly - they don't go after monopolies like they used to. We used to have a choice, in the "free market" system. But now, there is no choice but - wait for it - Verizon! Who is the same way. It won't change until consumers demand that monopolies are eliminated.

@user_iz7adf Welcome to our community forum and I'm happy to answer any questions you have about two-factor authentication. Sending you a code before allowing access to your account is the most effective way to keep all your information safe online. Scammers do not try to gain access to your account to pay you, they get access to your information, and they can use that for a number of malicious reasons. You'll notice that most companies are requiring two-factor authentication, and that's because it's an effective way to keep you safe.
