Why is my $40 plan billed at $89?!

I moved and was at the end of a 12 month deal where my service was $34.99. When I moved my rate was supposed to be $40. I got my initial bill after the move for $89, and the agent said it was a gross error and my bill was adjusted down to $44. I'm rounding. Now my plan is still $40 as it says on my account, however I'm being billed $89 for a $40 plan. I have grown sick of calling every month to possibly be charged the correct amount, as I've been promised many credits that were never applied. I'm being told this bill is accurate now for equipment. I have no new equipment and everything is included in my $40 plan. Why won't Comcast take any accountability? I can't wait for google fiber to finish being installed in my neighborhood.

The concern is not "Community Center / Guidelines" related................. Topic moved here to the proper help section, and for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Agreed.  My recently (3 months) negotiated $40 bill has been increased by 40% with no change of service.  This monopoly really is taking advantage👎👎.

@user_vt6j9t​ They have been doing the same thing to my elderly mother. Charging her between $130-$150 for internet and phone that she thought she was getting for $59.99. She's been unable to get them to fix anything for years. This needs to go to court. Thank you for your reply.

Promotions roll off and prices go up; everyone has seen an increase in price over the years.  No one stays at one price over the course of many years; there is no "grandfather" rule.  In the course of 9 years I saw my plan go up from $120 to $195 and I made no changes nor did I ask for a new promotion because I would have lost many channels that I enjoyed.  I paid the price. 

FWIW, are you a manager on her account?  If so, you might be able to get another promotion for her.  If you're not a manager on her account, you might try to get her to do that so that you can monitor her billing and make changes as needed.
